The Brink

[Verse 1]
(The Reaper)
Last night got awoken by the Reaper, nigga
He appeared right in my room when I was sleepin', nigga
He told me that he was urgent, try'na reach a nigga
Thought he was about to pull the plug, delete ya nigga
Pulled up a chair, leaned back and eat this pizza with ya
Told me it wasn't my time and I remind him that's impossible
I been like the Wild Wild West and livin' like it's an S upon my chest
And it's embedded up in my flesh since out the hospital
That bullshit's in your nostril
I told you a million times you need to quit it
But you don't listen, tеll me quit your fuckin' preachin'
Nigga, look at you, a shadow of your former sеlf
You need to ask someone for help
And let 'em help you 'fore the Reaper come a-reapin'
A danger every weekend
A danger to yourself and those around you, nigga
Them kids'll wake so what the fuck you thinkin' (I'm good)
Nigga, that was me [?] to myself and say
I do not need no help and so um, I'ma keep on drinkin'
Liver kept on shrinkin', never told nobody, was a fool
I was too cool to say I got a problem drinkin'
Till that day I hit emergency and then I really start to see
That I was on the brink, I had to let it sink in
Nigga, they still linkin'
They used to tell me get up out the streets
And begged me please before I end up dead and killed
Always sayin' go and get some help but how the fuck I'ma get help
When I done burnt like every bridge I ever built?
I grew up in some filth, double expired
Really talkin' 'bout months and weeks
Nigga please, I ain't fuckin' with that milk
Sleepin' on that kitchen floor
My teachers never did ask me how I'm livin' though
Seventeen 'fore I ever saw some silk
Nigga that's the reality of my life though
All the liquor by the light pole
A young nigga named Michael
Real fuckin' psycho
They slump whenever I go
Stay pumped full of nitro

[Interlude]
Yeah
It's time to turn it up
They know what time it is
Reaper time
Reaper time
Swiss

[Verse 2]
(This shit is crazy)
Nigga, two o'clock barely waken up but I'm talkin' 'bout AM
Chuck Ts with the fat laces turnin' up my friends
Mm, ay, every time I come around they say "don't be like them"
Mm, mm, had to quit watchin' Chucky, went and turned to a — fuck all that
Goin' at Insizz'em only in the middle I'ma ride up in the front seat
Reaper comin' for you, ain't nobody go when niggas talk about fuck me
First they wanna get to wolfin', then they wanna hide away and go and duck me
What you mean you couldn't find me, did you hit the parking lot up where the Bloods be?
Promise you gon' meet the Reaper, he around the corner, here he come, "run, B!"
I just wanna stay afloat, I do not want to sink
All my life I've been livin' it way close to the edge
I might turn to wish upon a star, I'm not far from the brink

[Outro]
Hard to live when I am on the brink of death
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh
Try to stay alive but I am on the brink of death
Oh, oh, ooh, oh, oh
