“Imma Lie” tells the story of a person struggling with an addiction that no one notices. The person lies to themselves whenever they continue abusing substances, saying they don't have a problem, and they are in fact, sober.
[Verse 1]
I been keepin' it real low
There's some things nobody knows
Either then turn up when I go
Rather just turn down at home
Drugs make me feel less alone
Turn around, everyone's gone
I'ma always be the bad guy, I know it
[Chorus]
I'ma lie to the world, and say I ain't been poppin' for anxiety
And I'ma lie to myself, when it goes under my tongue, that this is my sobriety
And no one has your back, unless you're on your deathbed, baby, don't you cry to me
I'ma lie to the world and say I ain't been poppin' for anxiety
[Verse 2]
Tell me how I'm supposed to stop fillin' up all of these cups
When I wish someone would end this all for me?
Tell me how I'm supposed to stop takin' pills 'til I throw up
When I think about what I have seen?
[Bridge]
It's back and forth how much I need it
Yeah, my drugs are so conceited
They convince me that I'm nothin' without them
How many times can I say that
It feels good to get off 'em
Before there's some truth behind it?
[Chorus]
I'ma lie to the world, and say I ain't been poppin' for anxiety
And I'ma lie to myself, when it goes under my tongue, that this is my sobriety
And no one has your back, unless you're on your deathbed, baby, don't you cry to me
I'ma lie to the world and say I ain't been poppin' for anxiety
