“toxic city ☣” is the first song off the first EP that Gus released under the name of Lil Peep. The song focuses on the ups and downs of life and how drugs will end up killing him.
The name “toxic city” refers to Los Angeles, where Peep was living at the time the song was recorded.
[Intro]
(Yeah, keep it going, one more time)
Alright, lemme go
SESH
[Chorus]
Life in the background, up and down the mountain
Then it's back to the flat ground, hold me while I'm drownin'
If tonight was my last night, I would keep on countin'
Till the reaper got a hold of me, then I would take my last flight
Wherever did you go? I've been waitin' for weeks
I don't think I'm gonna make it, but don't take it from me
So it seems every time that I die, I wake up
When it's time to meet my maker, I'll be ready for him
[Verse]
Got your glass slippers on, lookin' like you're Cinderella
Girl, what you sippin' on? Room spinnin' like propellers
Boy, what you trippin' on? How I make these pussies jealous?
Watch your girl sing along, say she want an acapella
I could give you what you want, till my body in the mud
King of the fuckin' swamp, name a drug, I got the plug
Shawty say my house is haunted, I said I don't give a fuck
Something's watchin' over me, it seen me smoke a million (SESH)
Drunk kickin', dutch lickin', he said he can't fuck with me
Fuck this and fuck with me, I'ma take your luck with me
Bitch, what the fuck it do? TeamSESH, drippin' on the 1s and the 2s
Fuck your crew and fuck you too
Edge of the swamp, not a truck goes through
[Chorus]
Life in the background, up and down the mountain
Then it's back to the flat ground, hold me while I'm drownin'
If tonight was my last night, I would keep on countin'
Till the reaper got a hold of me, then I would take my last flight
Wherever did you go? I've been waitin' for weeks
I don't think I'm gonna make it, but don't take it from me
So it seems every time that I die, I wake up
When it's time to meet my maker, I'll be ready for him
