Yours Truly 02:23
Here we go Extend a hand, lend an ear To the ones that you hold dear Ya never know what’s goin’ down The illness smiles, it doesn’t frown Burn the rope, flush the pills Different faces that suicide wears Firsthand, I’ve seen it Yours truly, I’ve barely beat it Loaded up, Cold steel Drop the hammer, and you’ll seal the deal Deep breath, sixteenth floor One false move, long fall before ya meet the lord And I Find it funny that I think I owe it to myself An eternal vacation from my demons and my mental health But my race ain’t over, no I’m not givin’ up quite yet I still got the one who I promised my last dance Yours Truly Extend a hand, lend an ear To the ones that you hold dear Ya never know what’s going down The illness smiles, it doesn’t frown Burn the rope, flush the pills Different faces that suicide wears First hand, I’ve seen it Yours truly, I’ve barely beat it Yours truly, will I make it out

I stay in check, retain the course I’ve earned my weight, I know my worth Concede the credit, where the payments due But I don’t owe you shit, I ain’t in debt to you You scold, rebuke, upbraid everything I do You mock and scorn, my steez, my own way of form Deceit, two faced, you wish you were in my place No Harm, No Foul just my axe to grind now I’ll raise the steaks, I never fold I keep my word, and that’s it’s weight in gold I’m climbing ladders, I’m raising bars I’m giving all I got, and it’s a no holds bard Until I’m dead, I’m pushing through You’re in my sights, I’m coming for you Gainin’ speed, forward momentum Don’t write no checks, when I can’t cash’em You scold, rebuke, upbraid everything I do You mock and scorn, my steez, my own way of form Deceit, two faced, you wish you were in my place No Harm, No Foul just my axe to grind now No Harm, No Foul just my axe to grind now

My head is spinnin’, it’s turning all around can’t tell what’s up, can’t tell what’s down My mind is twisted, I’m goin’ crazy Think I’m a menace, to my own safety Corrupt, Deranged Perplexed, I’m on a one way train Detached, Closed off No Exits, Could be a lost cause When I’m gone, I’ll be better No rainy days, Just sweater weather But until then, I’ll just iron out All my bad days, And try to hold out I got self-hate, That’s self-taught Once I flip it, it doesn’t turn off I’m a short fuse, little patience Once it’s lit, you can’t escape it Ya wanna test it, Come an’ get it Five reasons, you’ll fuckin’ regret it I’ll do the crime, I don’t mind the time Hit the padded cell, Mike Muir and I Get Help, Don’t Slip Hold On, I can’t get a grip Red vision, too late You’re through, You’re stored a cold case Fresh start, clean slate that’s positivity, through hate Better world, Better place with positivity, through hate Positivity through hate Fresh start, clean slate, that’s positivity, that’s positivity through hate Better world, better place, with positivity, with positivity through hate

How many times I gotta bleed How many times I gotta fall till I land on my feet How many cuts until I learn that the scars don’t itch as bad as they burn I’ve bumped my head on the fists of a few Took chances on others that left me screwed placed my money in pockets that broke my bank crossed oceans for others that left me to sink ya wonder why I’m angry, ya wonder why I’m stubborn been hurt by mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers It's not so easy to land on your feet, when you’re pullin’ out the rug out from underneath my feet Fuck You’ll never live in a just world All that can go right, will always go wrong I’m tired of bein’ pushed away but I’m fed the same bullshit day after day So now I carry the gavel I’ll always carry the strife How many times I gotta bleed How many times I gotta fall until I land on my feet How many times I gotta fall until I land on my feet How many times I gotta fall until I land on my feet

I got the sword the source of joy in my hand No clear tells towards the fucking promise land we'll walk our miles, we'll part the largest sea I'll get what's mine, I'll get what's owed to me Nan-Da-Ka strike one & your gone I'll take the crown, won't stop till kingdom come Nan-Da-Ka a swing and a kill I'll etch my name where the fly god chills NANDAKA Where’s the merit in all the things that I've done I finished first; but felt I haven't won Short of sight; I took mind’s eye off the prize I'll get what's mine, I'll get what's owed to me Nan-Da-Ka; Strike through & I'm gone I'll leave the crown, it's time for kingdom come Nan-Da-Ka I'll fall on my sword My final sin, will be my decorated reward This game called life can be so hard to play It's do or die, and I took the easy way I bit the sword, I folded all my cards The joys of my sin, weren't worth my final reward
