Lyrics
Conscious rap was vibin', but they said it wasn't sellin'
So instead of Tribe, the quest, it was for highs, i guess i get it
But we sold our De La Soul's and reassigned the proper metrics
Violent raps survived, and Darwinized the profit zealots
Survival of the fittest
Trade bars for gems and you'll be shinin' that's the realest
In this climate of addiction stock, Big Pharma is the realest
Now as long as pills are fillin'
You ain't really gotta feel the sound
The world is full of juice, and while you're floating
You been fin' to drown
How many rappers out here are missin' now?
But they sold you with this vision, and this fear of missin' out
(Yeah)
The industry will fuck us (True), so we follow what is trendin'
Brag about these hollow tips, but it's hollow, tip the pen in
I lace my verse with Fentol, and lean into attention
Toe tags for the mentions, body bags for what they spendin'
While they braggin' we descend
From the ground we're all descendants now
Sinners don't sleep in this broken town
Tradin' their souls for some golden brown
Feel the release, come back down
But when I'm comin' up
Killers on the city streets, buyin' it up
Crooks and addicts, weirds habits get rushed
We livin' in vain just to end it all
And I spent it all on fentanyl
My cousin was a pitcher, on that curve, he got that scolarship
On campus, he's the man, trowin' heaters, he was hot as shit
But then he hurts his arm, senior year, is time to prove it
Started takin' painkillers, so he could play and keep it movin'
Scouts watchin', couldn't lose 'em
So he took more and kept usin', 'fore he knew it, he's abusin'
Fastballs and two seams, too clean but now he's losin' weight
Drug test he failed, so they kicked him off the team
And tried to kick the habit, but he's mad that he had lost his dreams
And sad, but he got off the lean, but all it takes is one reminder
In his mind, he couldn't help it, he was tryna finally settle
Midnight he went outside, he was fightin' with his devils
One hit, he told himself, it'll help me trough this hell
I know I'm sick, and I need help, but one hit, man, what a hell
So he lit it, then he took it to the face (Yeah)
But as the story goes, you know that fentanyl always lace
Sinners don't sleep in this broken town
Tradin' their souls for some golden brown
Feel the release, come back down
But when I'm comin' up
Killers on the city streets, buyin' it up
Crooks and addicts, weirds habits get rushed
We livin' in vain just to end it all
And I spent it all on fentanyl
You took my heart, you took my fuckin' life
You took my pride, you took my mind
You took who I am, and turned to vice
Took my fam, I burn the price and now i stand on murdered time
And all my plans have turned to ice
I'm burnin' fire, build this pyre higher
I'm wired in this dopamine, get higher, still a broken fiend
Supplier of the hopeless dream
When it's all smoke, the only ropes are the one that chokes
Will they remember me?
Take all my memories and light them on this fire
Fire for the crooked dealer, he who packaged hate
Fire for that greedy villain, he who had it laced
Fire for my future, that looks on my father's face
My mother still in tears, my cousin, he's too far away
When they told me to get help, and yes, i tried, i tried again
But in the end, we're all just vains, and in the end he came to vains
And in the end I died in vain, and in the end I tried to- Fuck it
*Crying*
Oh, God
