Everything's changing me These don't feel the same We all faith and lost family Why must we this game? have mercy on me I've been a man Pull out my wings, jump off the bridge and crash in a If I land...
Know I die We live in my mind And I say We live forever, that life
There's a lot goin' on but I stick to the I love I never claimed to be a man but name a great man who was of my actions in the past years had me stressin' out It was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was tryna it out Medication for depression I cut cold turkey, had the kid manic In an out in Hollywood, wildin' out like Nick Cannon Railin' pills out a dollar bill, on the bathroom floor Clean the whole mess up with my nose, what the fuck I a vacuum for? New York on my birthday, June 6th, 2014 I had that first meeting with Hov, plus I brought out the team I drank whole bottle of D'usse Ty Ty gave me that night When we left the club Rap Genius house me and shorty got into a fight She out the room swingin', hit me in the jaw I was really fend her off But I up in the closet with my hands around her neck I was trippin', Too proud to or empathize, I blamed it all on her Sayin' that she hit me first, even though she was the one I was really just all the hurt that I was feelin' from the band's rejection When Kids These split, that shit felt like a c-section And my infidelity and with Natalie on top of the amphetamines And the ecstasy had me tryna drown down in the Chesapeake The next month I dropped "Down on My Luck" and had Europe nuts But I couldn't appreciate it at the time, I was goin' through too much Now I had to leverage million dollar deals on the table for my records In Ibiza eatin' paella on the roof, tryna over breakfast Hov wasn't with the war, but I knew the Roc just felt right I saw Kanye at Wireless, without T-Pain, still a good life Felt so when Mr. Hudson introduced me to him backstage He prolly don't even remember shit... like a bitch off Backpage But at that stage, I was ready to swing for the like a batting cage At the time, I was windin' down a low point in my addict phase The Adderall started wearin' off and I into a deep writer's block All over a song that I couldn't finish that I wrote about to the Roc Isn't that ironic? I was so psychotic With the whole world excited for me and my sayin' I got it Shit got bad out in L.A., so I back home to my mom's basement Linked up with Smoko and Beatz and took it back to basics Then I wrote "Rage," that was me screamin' out the pain And "U Mad," addressin' my with Natalie, it was too bad The violence and the lies suicide into my mental health I did acid in the studio one day and almost killed As I to fall apart, certain stars started to align Oh Mys to Chicago in January at the perfect time He said Kanye was workin' on an album, and Uzi him one of our songs He was tryna fly me out, nigga, it was down like the Dow Jones Pulled up to Westlake, day I was there, I recorded "Wolves" I knew I was the one, like Lyor with the oracle But I had to get a handle 'fore the was pulled out on SNL All the niggas hatin' on me home lookin' at me like, "FML" A lot of people comin' out the like, "Let's work," tryna network All the makin' my head hurt, the molly wouldn't let the meds work At this time it's like Feb. 1st to the 15th, and I'm still Frustrated, writin' shit for Ye, tryna visualize someone else's Then he that verse on "U Mad" and we made the shit the single Ye and Hov gettin' into it over me, do a joint venture And G.O.O.D.
