[Part 1]
Em B
I started bein' honest with myself, havin' conversations that weren't
C B
very easy, I need help, three words never thought I'd speak.
Em B
But here we are, Xanax bars, started poppin' them to cope,
C B
then got addicted, started thinkin' that I'd probably die alone.
[Part 2]
Em B
See this life is way too fast for me, I'm in the same career
C B
where half my colleagues turn to casualties, know y'all got those R.I.P.
Em B
Tweets up in the drafts, ready to go, for the moment
C B
that I finally take too much and overdose.
[Part 3]
Em B
Always thinkin' 'bout my father, burstin' into my apartment,
C
just to see his only son overdosin' on the carpet.
Em B
Flashin' back to every memory of when I was a kid
C
while he makes a final speech before he closes up the lid.
[Part 4]
Em B
I couldn't do it anymore, flush the rest and went to war
C B
I'm gettin' sober, I'm takin' my spot, back and shut the door
Em B
on my addiction, I hope you listen 'cause everything I write
C N.C.
from here on out is my prescription. Yeah, that's the mission.
[Part 5]
Em B
All this fame is overrated, over what man? I been stressed,
C B
all these fake people started to surround me and my friends.
Em B
I don't need that energy, I don't let those demons in,
C N.C.
finally startin' therapy, now it's time to reinvent, uh.
[Part 6]
Em B
I got demons (Josh we know that you got demons).
C B
They been schemin', plottin' on my head and they control my feelins'.
Em B
They make death sound so appealin'
C B
but I keep on movin' 'cause I don't wanna give up.
[Part 7]
Em B
I been workin' I been zonin', I been craftin' up this masterpiece,
C B
is it time where I top everyone that's out here passin' me?
Em B
You want the old Josh, I think we found him, shook his cage
C N.C.
and set him loose 'bout to take over, they just don't have a clue, yeah.
[Part 8]
Em
Thought I was done, that was just the beginnin',
B
I'm takin' my sound and now I'm reinventin' it.
C
Push my limits, said no more gimmicks,
B
I'm treatin' my music like my final minutes.
Em B
Until I hit that self destruct, this is my only motive,
C N.C.
gotta be focused, I'm locked and loaded, explosive, I'm so devoted.
[Part 9]
Em B N.C.
You said that you wanna break rap, I been there (already done that),
C B
but they would never care if you never read or say somethin'.
Em B
Never been through the mud, never read your day once,
C N.C.
tell you that you changed up, 'cause you got your pay up.
[Part 10]
Em B
And as I been climbin' the ladder, circle gets smaller,
C B
I'm sadder, enemies spawnin', I'm flattered but I guess none of it matters
Em B
Feels like I don't have no one, around me to tell me that
C B
I been messin' up, so I just rely upon myself to learn.
[Part 11]
Em B
There's lessons of countin' my blessins', countin' money is like
C B
countin' my stresses, less I got of one, the less I got of the other.
Em B
My demons pullin' me under, so, guess I'm just testin' the suffer,
C B
rather not be great, 'cause all the great ones plunder.
[Outro 1]
Em B C
It's easier to get high, it's easier to let go of the
Em B C
things that hurt you again.
Em B C
It's easier to get drunk, it's easier to drink up
Em B C
when your pain goes on, now I know.
