Lyrics Turned - Slim Reaper

A lot been on my mind lately
So I'm thinking maybe just maybe
These words can save me

Sometimes I wanna go to sleep and never wake up
Work off your ass for the pay cut
I say stay tough, cause boy they play rough
Grab you by the cuff, tell you it's not enough
Bitch I call their bluff, haul and puff the purest stuff
That's when newbies say yuck
It's an acquired taste, like duck
Feel like luck expired, brains no longer wired
So I told my homie he was hired
This mentality you've got to build young
Lace your lies with promises of fun
If ain't being honest, imma fuck with you and I say I ain't on it
Cause you can stop when you want, right
And I'm high functioning like I still write
So at this juncture in rhyme, I'm here to puncture your mind
Like a vulture with eyes on the prize
Don't be surprised when I leave you fried
But fuck it, you still my guy

A lot been on my mind lately
So I'm thinking maybe just maybe
These words can save me

Shits brewing in me I can no longer ignore
Regress or evolve, I be turned like a revolving door
Repent but what for
Cause all anyone ever wants is more
Then Noah tripped and cracked his head on the floor
You say bring the vape, I'm like shit we need tape and gauze
Don't fucking look at me with em open jaws
Friends come first, that's the token law
Oh, so you want a round of applause for putting your round on pause
Well I'm sorry for your loss
Too high to help and I crafted that dependence
Endorsed the weed and before he could help it
He was in too deep, tried new shit before he fell asleep
No longer a cousin, that's an omen of death
I'm home out of breath, my dome set to rest
Tie a noose around the neck I was told to protect
And tell me what comes next

Wake up, to Papa hitting me like an epiphany
Shaking me, cause I ain't listening
You slept all day, he hisses at me
Don't know what to say, except the peaceful me is history
Cause ties that bind, break
And lies in the mind misshape
Picked up the pen, to write this mix-tape
A clean slate to escape my fate
Carrying my burden like a crate
But words unload that weight
Ties that bind, break
And lies in the mind misshape
A naive perception
Starved, I use music to appease
Carved a new direction, but I still believe
That demons take breaks, they never truly leave
Ties that bind break
And lies in the mind misshape
Turned around and found that I'm finally awake

A lot been on my mind lately
So I'm thinking maybe just maybe
These words can save me
A lot been on my mind lately
So I'm thinking maybe just maybe
These words can save me
