[Verse: Byron] Your last words to me were peace, instead of peace of mind Now it's really hard to breathe because you didn't reach your prime Time and time again, I try to think of a different scenario And how much better we were than what you hear on a radio But, now it seems like it's all on me We built a wall and now I'm watching it fall on me Whenever you needed to vent, you would call on me So the thought of something having changed has my heart on E Whether you never had the chance, it's fine But you have to understand Right now, I'm in a different state of mind I did my first show with Coast 2 Coast Hoping it'll take us coast to coast Still trying to learn the ropes of a crooked industry But no longer trying to k** the game I'm trying to manipulate it in order to bring change for the better My first show in New Orleans, but now nothing is the same but the weather Sporadic as my brain Make magic through my pain Because I just took a blade through the heart So I'm on the edge of a cliff just awaiting end How dare you switch my fate with my best friend's I used to try to pretend I never saw that ish Which is probably what caused this itch to make an impact And practically brace myself for the fall that ends my entire career Nevermind y'all, that's it Never cared about money or fame We were just tired of being chained to the same stereotypical lanes we were given In '07, something changed It seems venting through pain just became an elixir And now it's Vital Remains Love is life, life is love when you play your cards right It's a shame, because y'all want music while I'm still trying to heal If you don't want the best for me, then what part of you is real? Marshall Mathers is the greatest to me Brad Jordan is a close second I flow reckless because both of their last solo LPs felt like they both helped me A lot of respect and admiration And for the sake of Marina and I's dream to stay alive I hate it had to be me, but one of us has to make it I try to make you proud But this anger takes a toll on me, and only you could rid it Monica was just a mistake, and I admit it Valeria was changing so quick, I didn't get it Hali left without a word, and I was livid Bristin is the third crush that I've ever had Even though depression has pretty much been my girl for the last decade I'm rapping this now, just in case it's my last essay My happiness drowned Even though I imagine on the day that you died, I came saving you I have to face facts, my heart is stuck in that grave with you So as my fanbase begins to grow I can't forget the biggest fan I know You would tell people Byron's the bomb, plain and simple Imagine if I blew up on the eleventh of September Strike a nerve, don't it Come up behind Kendrick and throw a spear at the omen I don't hang with dudes because of how h*mophobic and prideful y'all are Then act like you don't know it Finally mustering up the strength to say F Bonnabel and King too I'm here to bring you emotion I know But now, I think of what'll happen to me Because people seem to be acting to me But Novelle, you're my G Marina sweetie, it'll always be love Nayzia, I look at you like it's blood Shout out to Chris Hart I pray that you go far But, I also pray the feeling is mutual It's too often I see a kid with a bright future go astray Just like a bullet that's mistakingly flying right through you Don't want you or Hailey to be a victim Whatever you're going through, you're strong enough to fight through it I wish I could say the same for myself To this day, I still blame myself It amazes me to know how bad people like Amber want Obama and family out of office Simply due to color, and resort to name calling But I was there when people bullied you for having cerebral palsy You should know how it feels by now Listen, man none of this is real to me We don't need social media dog, it needs us We don't need to buy Jordan's either, we need love Someone tell KXNG CROOKED I took heed But Lord knows, it'll take more than me I'd rather die now; Boxed in, but outspoken My whole life is recorded, without a promise broken I'm kind of hoping this gives you a better understanding of where I am coming from When I say this is hard to handle Because with my anger problems, you just like to tempt me But if your gla** is always full, I know your life is empty I don't want to be this way When Rina died, I never thought I would see this day But if she can survive through me, that's fine with me I just don't want see the day Aaliyah dies, believe Look in my eyes, tell me there's more inside Used to have a friend named Chelsea But knowing I was too mentally detached, I never asked about going out Jeremy's the homie that I really don't know about Besides skate boarding, and collecting your sneakers, what are you into? I don't know much about anything that you've been through Claven is the homie But again, we can't relate much You smoke, I don't smoke I don't say much I just do what I can to get by, and to stop these thoughts I have of just dying To everybody listening Don't be surprised if you hear about Byron hanging with his best friend again Listen dog, if I said it, I meant it Took a minute to gather my thoughts, then came in to spit it And Meagan, just remember that pigs can fly But some will never make it to heaven for taking a life Was that swine flu or not, times two? Don't get me wrong, the homie Claven can rhyme too But I wonder why dudes around my age never commit to speaking on the same subject that I do Logic is flawed You just have get your record on the shelf Staying true to the radio, instead of to yourself We did it for the art, in order to change hearts While you're looking for the plug, I'm in dire need of a spark Where am I to go from here? Might as well take a chance and go for broke from here I need to find an escape route just like Joe I love Mr. Ortiz, but please I already took an L, I don't know if I can take one more A peace sign was the last I saw I just woke up to some Nickle Nine, then I saw Rina's picture Ironically but differently, she took a part of me with her Nothing about Angel is angelic But I know a few guys when we dated were mad jealous I know, it's much harder to love than hate But just imagine if we dated with my head on straight, nah And I can't forget Kelsey How is being jealous of Rina supposed to help me? You never showed the slightest bit of compa**ion because of a talent show at King? I can't fathom the reason you hated Rina so much being because the same song was performed And only one of you smashed it I thought we were all cool But you proved otherwised by letting it fall through F it, all I wanted was effort I would give you an "A" But since you wanted the "D" from Adil every single day And never helped me, though I was there every step of the way This ship sunk, and I let it It's not love, it's lust Know the difference before you begin to trust I'm giving you my all right now The same reason everyone is getting bars right now Stephanie was my second crush But all I was ever sensing was tension Since then, a possible friendship was mended People were pretentious till they saw me open for Coast 2 Coast I had the crowd in the palm of my hand before I even ended Little did I know, artists would stop me to say how great I was, and I unofficially win Which to me, honestly meant about 10 times more than the actual win did Never cared about winning at all Spoke about it briefly, but this was for my best friend Shout out to Roze with a "Z", k**ing it dog We're good over here, you can hear the applause This is real so, all I'm asking is for y'all to keep it real yo How would you feel to actually know how I feel though? I'm not a comedian, I don't find ish funny anymore But I'm about to grab that key and peel bro I feel so sick to my stomach Danny Mixtape gave me the ball And now I'm eternally running with it I don't run the city; actually, it's the opposite I'm running from my city cause I'm tired of it I'm like royalty around y'all Down to fall for the people I feel are as loyal as me Which is probably why loyalty is my downfall Royce set it in stone dog, I know I'm flawed And I accept it Because when I'm unable to express myself, I become reckless And that just affects my health, leaving me restless Until I reach a point in my life where I say F this And lash out at the only friend that I have left Till I'm left with nothing, except a potential d**h wish Better off dead so I don't have a regret filled coffin on the day I depart I feel like it's less than often when I'm living, I actually feel alive I'm partially living, but still I feel numb inside And it's driving me up the wall Like the on/off switch for my emotion But it's mostly off that all y'all get I'm giving you my all right now The same reason everyone is getting bars right now The very same reason this record should be taken as dying words Every noun and verb Look at it like it's what I deserve Better yet, look at it like it's my final verse And when you think of me Think of honesty, not the curse I can't see a better finale for me Rather be honest, then to have you think badly of me This music, I'm done with it The reason Young Thug sells more than Big K.R.I.T. is because every single kingdom still has a slum village So have fun with it I could never compromise our prophecy and run with it because [Hook: Aposoul] Ohhh, I'm on this road I'm on my own, and I'm lost again (I'm lost again) And I say Ohhh, I just don't know I can't let go, or I'll fall again (I'll fall again) Just take me home...
