[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm always wide awake with wild thoughts at 3AM
Chasing the cold side of the pillow like I'm embracing a friend
Thinking about making some memes so I can start meeting some ends
Since I was a teen I been chasing some dreams like fiends running from feds
Teachers put red lines through my lines with the strike of a pen
Now these rhymes are buying me time and they been paying my rent
If I define my life by the lies the others had said
I coulda lived these dreams I used to have in my head
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a dead man walking, I got nothing to lose
I'm a dead man walking, I got blood in my shoes
I'm a dead man walking, I got nothing to prove
I'm dead already, ain't nothing that the devil can do
I'm a dead man
[Post-Chorus]
Recluse our souls in the thoughts that we hold
Feel a ache in my soul
Like the bones of a body growing old
I was blinded by my idols, saw them touching the sky
Now all I want is roots deeper than I am high
I'ma kill my ego, yeah, I'ma kill my ego
Putting blood in the ground where he go
Feeling like a hero, listening to beast mode
[Verse 2]
'Cause I've been flipping tables in the temple of my soul
Sold the gold of who I am like it was dope in plastic bags
Now I'm holding onto hope of what I have
With a cuff broken open and a dagger in my hands, singing
[Chorus]
I'm a dead man walking, I got nothing to lose
I'm a dead man walking, I got blood in my shoes
I'm a dead man walking, I got nothing to prove
I'm dead already, ain't nothing that the devil can do
I'm a dead man
[Post-Chorus]
Recluse our souls in the thoughts that we hold
Feel a ache in my soul
Like the bones of a body growing old
I was blinded by my idols, saw them touching the sky
Now all I want is roots deeper than I am high, singing
I'ma kill my ego, yeah, I'ma kill my ego
Putting blood in the ground where he go
Feeling like a hero, listening to beast mode
[Verse 3]
You say saint i say sinner
My faith was tainted by wasted winters
Break the ice on sacred rivers
The knife tastes like [???]
And I remember business, the dangerous prisons
Where I became a victim, chained to kindred spirits
Yeah, we were sipping dark side and Guinness
Mixing liquor with lyrics
And now I'm spitting to the dark side of spirits
'Cause I can see that miracle in us
We just gotta admit it, omit it, live it
You just gotta be fearless man
[Outro]
Man, I can see that miracle in us
We just gotta admit it, omit it, live it
We just gotta be fearless
Man, I can see that miracle in us
We just gotta admit it, omit it, live it
We just gotta be fearless, man
You just gotta be fearless, man
We just gotta be fearless, man
