Verse 1 Searchin for a moment Searching for a feeling I’m numb Nothin makes sense it is closing, yeah Too many forgotten dreams Too many forgotten plans Damn Not enough left I Am losing my will , yeah Lonely nights Holdin on Fighting demons Getting scars I See no end This is so hard So alone, alone, alone, alone, alone Slippery Slope, yeah yeah Got nowhere to go Got nothing left Got nothing left Hook In the dark On my own I am at the end Of my rope I don’t have no where Where to go? Feel so alone Verse 2 The sadness It haunts me It haunts me in my dreams I can’t escape I can’t escape Oh I want more I want more More Than life can give - at the moment , at the moment yeah yeah Out of place yeah I feel Out of Place yeah Out of space yeah I feel out of space yeah Without a place yeah I feel out of place yeah Out of place yeah I feel out of place yeah

lyrics

In the corners of my dark mind (Yeah) Despair is getting to easier to find Searching for eternal sunshine (Yeah) But shadows all around devour the light Makes me wanna self medicate, meditate, (Transcendental) Elevate Into space New dimension Pure escape Novacane Hook Pain deep I can’t lie I’m strung out But can’t cry Pain deep In my mind Got none left I’m bone dry Verse 2 - Secret Jones Late night On the couch between the sheets It be my peace Drought like PCH on the westside Northface like the east LA city streets might get you ate They said you eat 98 degrees this lifestyle cold I need my fleece See you fine fine Like Mary J I'm Method Man back in the '95 With razors between my tongue see I'm 'bout to cut something These scars run deep see I can fuck But I can love nothin' 4 x100 yeah I want it See I love runnin' Can't let nobody cut me deep And leave my blood runnin' Drippin' from my head my neck Like I was DMX See I remember love was just so simple She rode the pegs upon my BMX And rubbed my head when I was stressed See life's a bitch but Really she's the best But Still gotta ask why you do me like that? I thought I had a fair shot How you fool me like that? But really though You Really think I care?

Here we go again Its the plight of man No 40 acres No Mule And they are on to you What are you gonna do? No Guarantees No money can save you here If theres no fulfillment At all Then you will go no where Hook See how life can be grand? Everything that you want in the palm of your hands Then out of the green life wipes it clean Illusions of victory See how life can be grand And everything that you want in the palm of your hand Then out of the green Life wipes it clean Illusions of victory

Middle finger to the ones who be preyin on my silence but never care yeah And middle finger to the ones who complain all the time but they never change, yeah And middle finger to the ones who deflect but they never ever take the blame We can’t connect , no no We can’t No I cant depend on you Now its time to move on from you No I cant depend on you Now its time to heal my mind from you Hook - ft Vth I be walkin' on my own path, blazin' all my own trails Moves beyond perception, supersonic; two tales One of all my confidence, one of my insanity Split across the matrix, pay no mind to your demand from me Ain't no difference, who I am from who I plan to be All my life I get the furthest speaking candidly Stay surrounded by my chosen friends and family From within I'm motivated, who can handle me? v2 Diagnosed when I was younger with the clinical depression Made it difficult to cope and it was hard to feel my blessings yeah, Shadows kept on creeping following me as grew up been a struggle for my footing had to thug it learn my lessons yeah Walking contradiction yeah Full of bold convictions yeah Soul crushing self esteem but+ Confidence off the richter yeah The swerrrd for the mic has been sheathed for a little had the itch to hear the shing and draw the blade for just one minute back on topic see the world that we livin in truly got me on my toes, Praying for my son my I gotta teach my boy the ropes Praying for my daughter you know that yo daddy got ya Y’all know that me and yo momma love y’all+infinitely I promise We are working extra hard to to set you up with happy Karma And beautiful experiences filled up with a lotta Love and fulfillment build a bridge for your tomorrow+ Build a trust stack them dollas add some zeros and some commas like that, like that a that that Hook to end

It feels impossible I’m on a rollercoaster I’m down and out again As time keeps ti-cking- on ohh I’m going out my mind I’ve gone too far this time I am on the edge Just might jump this time Hook Anxiety fuck wit my head again I pray that my baby’ll speak again I’m workin so hard not to tweak again Insomnia stealing my dreams again This slippery slope getting deep again Cycle repeat again I feel like breaking shit Type of anger that backed in a corner shit Need to vent it’s not healthy to keep it in I been ballin my fist till my knuckles split I Just need a win right now I just wanna breathe right now I just need a break right now But the clock won't ever slow down V2 Dear god I know that you listening Am I going overboard when I ask for a little more assistance here? Depression is living here The darkness is glistening here I pray for a miracle to come but the energy to pray starting+to disappear You Silence is deafening here Im tryna hold on Tryna keep focus Tryna keep my anger in check for my purpose Tryna guide my baby to regain all their words Tryna keep my shoulder blades from caving from the pressure The world’s too heavy, God I need a spot, man lemme just stop…. repeat Hook
