[Chorus: XP BURSTGANG]
Sometimes, sometimes
Everyday, the meaning of success, it redefines, yeah
And I never see them signs
When we’re talking in the kitchen, hard to read between the lines, yeah
Tell me, what’s the deal?
When you’re mixing up the messages, I don’t know how to feel
But I swear I need them lies ‘cause it’s hard to keep it real
Sometimes, sometimes
[Verse 1: XP BURSTGANG]
Sometimes, yeah sometimes
It all feels like a battlefield and man’s out there on frontlines
Given up, got liquored up till sunrise
And I swear down, I don’t give a fuck, still picking up at them dumb times
Yeah, tried talk, got tongue-tied
Truth ain’t quite black and white and you only ever saw one side
Billing up till it subsides
But real talk, now, mum’s life, I’ve been fucked up from my cuz died
Yeah, life’s not like Disney
Out there like gypsy so miss me with your miss me
Skin teet’, ‘cause beauty is just skin-deep
Flipped out on Whitney, then dipped out like Rich Tea
Same one, J-Kwon, tipsy
Built up ‘fore I broke down, man smoke loud just to lift me
Nah, can’t open up, it’s too risky
And it’s real life but sometimes I just feel like it ain’t in me, and it’s mad
[Chorus: XP BURSTGANG]
Sometimes, sometimes
Everyday, the meaning of success, it redefines, yeah
And I never see them signs
When we’re talking in the kitchen, hard to read between the lines, yeah
Tell me, what’s the deal?
When you’re mixing up the messages, I don’t know how to feel
But I swear I need them lies ‘cause it’s hard to keep it real
Sometimes, sometimes
[Verse 2: XP BURSTGANG]
Going through the motions, tryna imitate, six to one, give or take
On estates all in a state. countless nights I’ve been awake
Had my heart all pouring out, turned into a cynic, mate
‘Cause now you’re tryna draw me out in ways I’d never illustrate
Shouting off your mout’, I’m bunning loud in silence
All tryna pressure man, you thought it would amount to diamonds
I’m searching bottles for them answers like I’m ‘bout to find ‘em
True, we was dragged up on drink, drugs, domestic violence
Ducking from them plain-clothes, running with them scapegoats
Life gave me lectures, but I weren’t tryna take notes
I spent all them nights up, but now I’m tryna stay woke
Everyday I’m waved, though, but true, we’re in the same boat
Not bad, yeah, you alright? Yeah, alright
Still awake, I don’t do sleep, been too weak like fortnight
Man smoke and snort white and drink till I can’t talk right
Can’t think when I thought right and you never know when it’s your time, but more time
[Chorus: XP BURSTGANG]
Sometimes, sometimes
Everyday, the meaning of success, it redefines, yeah
And I never see them signs
When we’re talking in the kitchen, hard to read between the lines, yeah
Tell me, what’s the deal?
When you’re mixing up the messages, I don’t know how to feel
But I swear I need them lies ‘cause it’s hard to keep it real
Sometimes, sometimes
[Outro: Murkage Dave]
Is this all a simulation? Everything I’m facing
Will anything change when I push these buttons?
Up against the big boss, I could just switch off
If I play again, can I keep these weapons?
Everybody’s talking next level
Maybe what I got is the demo, ‘cause
Life’s on loop, life’s on loop, life’s on loop
Is this all a simulation? Everything I’m facing
Will anything change when I push these buttons?
Up against the big boss, I could just switch off
If I play again, can I keep these weapons?
Everybody’s talking next level
Maybe what I got is the demo, ‘cause
Life’s on loop, life’s on loop, life’s on loop
