[Verse 1: IOweKnee]
Who would have thought the quiet kid would be so good with his words
It's absurd how preferred I can be when I'm heard
Heard the kids back home setting fire to the churches
Faith's in Rock 'n Roll, get their sermons in the verses
Don't know who they are, but don't wanna be themselves
Wanna be somebody else, never needing no ones help
We're disconnected
But can I call this home when the only thing I've known
Is how to find the closest road outta town
I'm not around and I know it
Last year was my lowest
Got a vulnerable side and I can't afford to show it
This next line Ima blow it
Land minds in my mind, these are enemy lines that I'm behind
Doing fine, only problem is time
Found pa**ion with this rapping, this magic is everlasting
Cooking beats to satisfaction, counting stacks of Andrew Jacksons
Man I'm doing it, like I always said I would
Funny how I got street smart the day I left the hood
So
[Chorus 1]
I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
95 South, Ima pace myself
Looking for the right words to save myself
I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
I'm a Nomad
[Verse 2]
And I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
I lost a lot of sleep in a bed that was made for me
I'll never learn to breathe in the city that had strangled me
Never going back, I'll never forget the facts
I'll never relive the past, nah, I'm never going back
Nights I won't forget are nights that they won't remember
Which means that I'm sleeping better knowing some things last forever
Thinking 'bout those nights, Meteora on my walkman
Always knew Shinoda's part, but I just called it rock then
Lights low, eyes closed, dreaming of arenas
Long before he held a microphone or knew where it would lead him
Now I step on stage and I k** 'em like a deadline
Hardest act to follow so I guess that's why I headline
Had to put 'em through it cause my life move fast
It's hard to stay grounded when you stunt first cla**
Said it's hard to stay grounded when you stunt in first cla**
[Chorus 2]
I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
95 South, Ima pace myself
Looking for the right words to save myself
I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
I'm a Nomad
[Verse 3]
Reminiscing with Lindsay Rae 'bout better days in the summer time
Sipping winter wines, eating good like dinner time
That's when I was starving, when my broken soul was lost
Now I'm overworked and distant, always tied up like a boss
But I've been so determined to prove that I'm not my burdens
I'm focused on words that hurt em, sipping tea and staying Kermit
These are just some thoughts I would keep in my head
But I'm sick of writing songs filled with words I should have said
And I don't understand why the truth can't save me
Screaming out, "k** me" to the same God that made me
I'm tired of the "maybes", a promise drives me crazy
A shot don't cut it, half the bottle don't phase me
I know the serpents lurking to mistake what I said
And when I make it without faking they'll all wanna be friends
But you won't be where I'm going if you ain't seen where I've been
So everyday that I write is another night that I live
I'm gone
[Chorus 3]
I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
95 South, Ima pace myself
Looking for the right words to save myself
I don't want to die, I just want to live better
I just need to know that this Hell won't last forever
I'm a Nomad
[Outro]
Life is a joke and I just don't get it
It's not f**ing poetry if "f**" ain't in it
95 South, Ima pace myself
Looking for the right words to save myself
I'm not very happy and it's starting to show
I'm not suicidal, I'm just ready to go
