Yeah, this my life to back, top to bottom
Everything's around me days don't feel the same We all lost faith and family Why must we this game? Lord 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 forever in my mind And I say We live forever, still 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 Consequences of my in the past years had me stressin' out It was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was figure it out Medication for depression that I cut turkey, had the kid manic In an out in Hollywood, wildin' out like Nick Cannon Adderall pills out a dollar bill, on the bathroom floor Clean the whole mess up with my nose, what the fuck I need a for? New York City on my birthday, June 6th, I had that first meeting with Hov, I brought out the whole team I drank that whole bottle of Ty Ty gave me that night When we left the club after Rap Genius me and shorty got into a fight She came out the swingin', hit me in the jaw I was tryna fend her off But I ended up in the closet my hands around her neck I was trippin', Too to apologize or empathize, I blamed it all on her Sayin' that she hit me first, though she was the one hurt I was really just reflectin' all the that I was feelin' from the band's rejection When Kids These Days split, that shit felt a c-section And my infidelity and jealousy with 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 goin' But I couldn't even appreciate it at the time, I was goin' through too Now I had to leverage million dollar deals on the table for my records In Ibiza eatin' on the roof, tryna choose over breakfast Hov wasn't the biddin' war, but I knew the Roc just felt right When I saw Kanye at Wireless, without T-Pain, still a life Felt so close Mr. Hudson introduced me to him backstage He prolly don't even remember that shit... like a bitch off But at that stage, I was ready to swing for the fence a batting cage At the same time, I was windin' down a low in my addict phase The Adderall started wearin' off and I went a deep writer's block All a song that I couldn't finish that I wrote about signin' to the Roc that ironic? I was feelin' so psychotic With the whole world excited for me and my idol I got it Shit got bad out in L.A., so I moved back to my mom's basement Linked up with Smoko and Papi Beatz and took it to basics Then I wrote "Rage," that was me screamin' out the pain And "U Mad," addressin' my relationship Natalie, it was too bad The violence and the lies suicide into my mental health I did acid in the one day and almost killed myself As I started to apart, certain stars started to align Oh Mys came to Chicago in January at the time He said Kanye was on an album, and Uzi played him one of our songs He was fly me out, nigga, it was goin' down like the Dow Jones up to Westlake, first day I was there, I recorded "Wolves" I I was the one, like Lyor meetin' with the oracle But I had to get a 'fore the door was pulled out on SNL All the niggas hatin' on me home lookin' at me like, "FML" A lot of people comin' out the wood like, "Let's work," tryna All the pressure makin' my head hurt, the molly wouldn't let the work At time it's like Feb. 1st to the 15th, and I'm still addicted Frustrated, writin' for Ye, tryna visualize someone else's vision Then he laid that verse on "U Mad" and we the shit the single Ye and Hov gettin' into it over me, tryna do a joint And G.O.O.D. still fam, but it's that Roc boy SAVEMONEY life Took the bus out on the road for the tour, did a hundred nights out my closet, I got rid of all of my demons If you learn one thing my journey, nigga it's don't stop believin' When shit got so suffocatin' I could barely even keep breathin' Wrote my wrongs all in this song now I'd like to welcome y'all to my I'm gone
