Tell Me

[Intro]
Yeah, uh-huh, Lawd, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over, Lord (yeah)
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over (yeah)

[Chorus]
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
Tell me x4
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over, yeah
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution

[Verse 1]
My darkest secret, my closest friend
Is my lonely pen, so let the pain begin
Now, we could put it on a page so that people could read
And make a couple dope lines, you better believe it
Never taking it easy, I was trying to appease every solitary soul
That would listen to me, but I
Realized that it's all fake, not real
I figured out people take but they never give
And don't nobody give a fuck about the truth
Or what it means to you, you're barely making it through
You was living with a dollar in a dream, plus a minuscule scheme
Everything ain't what it seems
When I looked in the mirror but couldn't recognize
The person I'd become, a nigga I despise
Otherwise I'm obliged to describe my demise
Surprised a motherfucker didn't make it, he couldn't take it
No resignation, his dedication was steady fading
But what he facing was so amazing, the way it didn't phase him
A difficult dilemma dependent upon a mental aspect
Flow abstract, niggas can't match that, detached to make a fat batch
Of the dopeness, a nigga wasn't this real then everybody would notice
We live in a world completely ass backwards, [?] no please and thanks
Police'll yank and murder a young nigga then leave him out on the pavement
Debating the basis of all of your hatred
I told myself that I would work and never start complaining
Can't be complacent, don't seek the fame
As I reach the brain let's beseech the cadence
I kept it inside so I could try to survive
And lately I've been getting high for the pain I confide, Lord

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over, Lord (yeah)
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over (yeah)

[Chorus]
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
Tell me x4
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over, yeah
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution

[Verse 2]
Said I wanna make a change but it's never that easy
Really hard when you're trying to develop an image and give the people
The realest they ever heard
Talking poetry in motion, I'm speaking a spoken word, absurd
We differ within the pain and really live in a lie
But the sound that I presented was a ridiculous vibe
A ride inside of my mind defines it all
But if you really took a look I know you would be appalled
Now take a step back, no need to relax
But last week I was fine, I recently relapsed
I rehashed the issues a nigga never dealt with
I wanna survive, it’s like I’m barely alive
I’m lost inside of a typhoon
Feeling helpless I’m so selfish
I’ve been relentless, defensive
My independence is not dependent upon the pendant
Or any style the stupid niggas are trending
The records that I’m making are cold as December
Desegregated, disintegrate, people are never gracious
Emaciating, interpretation, my flow is a guillotine how I decapitate it
Irregulate it, regurgitation of anything that I was creating
This procrastinator will stay sedated
To mask my emotions I'm feeling up on a daily
And I could give a fuck if a record label paid me
I wanna make a connection to people that's real
And give 'em food for their soul, that's something that you can feel
Imagine the passion of packing a promise
But what you are lacking is focus
Please don’t ever think about distractions
And pay attention when a nigga rapping
It’s all about the self-preservation, your effort, and practice when it's time for the lights camera action, Lord (yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over, Lord (yeah)
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over (yeah)

[Bridge]
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober, Lawd (yeah)
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over (yeah)

[Chorus]
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
Tell me x4
I don't think I'll ever be sober
I don't think I'll ever be sober
Talk about life like it's already over, yeah
Tell me x5
Have you ever been terrified
Of your darkest fears becoming verified
By your destitution, no resolution
