[Intro]
The blind lead the blind, it all feel the same
Irony the things we do for whippin' a chain
Ahhhhhhhhhh (hahahaha)
I can promise you one thing
You step in the next round, get smushed
Okay, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh, huh
Okay? Okay
[Chorus]
Have you ever, raid your safe, where you lay ya head at
Have you ever, seen them robbin' like they Red X
Have you ever, went to school, pops on FOX 5
Monsters wasn't under my bed, they was outside
[Verse 1]
Didn't even take my time to find my Mojo, huh
Pleasе don't take no photos, huh
Hmm, my life like JoJo, huh
'Causе I ate off-brand Cocoa Puffs
Hmm, walk outside smell like blood and iron
Backwoods, I'm sick
Look in his eyes and see everything not good
I wish, I could change all the things that made mothers cry
If you fix his tie, he might not wish to see a brother die
If you tie his shoes, he may not run when hitting licks
If you wipe his tears, he might not slit his wrist ok I'm pissed
[Chorus]
Have you ever, raid your safe, where you lay ya head at
Have you ever, seen them robbin' like they Red X
Have you ever, went to school, pops on FOX 5
Monsters wasn't under my bed, they was outside
[Verse 2]
Label that's a pinnacle
This stick is like a tentacle
I'll make you feel invincible
The Pontiac is black and when it's dark I look invisible
Let's get it critical, I'll turn a king into a criminal
When life in at a pivotal, he stuck his foot inside a pit
Was bitten by a serpent, it was slithering and lurking
Steady hissin' by the evidence, a body did ya cause
Said, "You never saw the testament, reflecting on a thought
Never had a dream, a president and glistening
Every God is an eye to the eye
Never falls in his favor
The cards on the table are face down
Straights round, sound like a drum roll
Go brr brr brr brr, may need a poncho
Bring a Glock to the block to a gun show
He not concerned, the kids are burned in the fonto
We smoked the yearn, the parents, the urn, the ashes
It scoffs whispers 'cause the cost gonna haunt you
Cries from the eyes of the dead, skulls where you lay yo head
Bones in the sheets, someone's there while you sleep
Grinning teeth, the gums are left said, "your lungs out of reach"
Said, "your flesh they can not eat, but your mind will they torment"
They lie dormant in a line like formation of one by one
Tell you how you torture the nation to drive you crazy
[Chorus]
Have you ever, raid your safe, where you lay ya head at
Have you ever, seen them robbin' like they Red X
Have you ever, went to school, pops on FOX 5
Monsters wasn't under my bed, they was outside
[Bridge]
I used to rap wearing Fubu jeans
Unlock the back door to let 'em in
The demon just smelled grandma's collard greens
Death could be sweater than nectarine
Told her I'm celibate but if I dwell a bit
Don't second guess tryna steal it
Found out my cousin is crippin'
Found out my dad got a daughter I ain't even met her
He cheated on Tanya
Still she be holding it down while he locked up
The bubbling pots and vodka
Bumbling thoughts, I'm honest
Slitting my wrist, I'm honest
For other reason than anger and treason
To feel like I could still exist
Maybe there's something I missed
Maybe this baby's a lost cause
Maybe I'll end it all, just 'cause
Maybe there's something with no applause
Maybe if there were no guns drawn
By the hand of God
Songs go unsung, wounds that don't heal
Feelin' my pain whenever the bells rung
The time will stand still and were one in the same
[Outro]
Hmm, it's empty, but that's okay
We all feel empty sometimes
