Chase

Eyes red
Tears run
My mind's detached
Watch my ego burn
Rebuild myself from scratch

Eyes red
Tears run
I can't go back
Used to chase highs
Now I chase respect

For years I lived in darkness
And hardships
Now I use all that I harnessed instead

Oh, I beg you
Please don't forget to
Love yourself the most
Hold yourself the closest

Oh, I tell you
We won't drown in
All that trauma passed onto us (yeah, yeah)

Sitting by my window
Watch the sun set
I
Gonna take my time
To get this mess all right (alright)

Popping pills on a a daily
Just to ease the pain
I guess addiction never helped
Blocking fears away

What's the next best thing
To keep me entertained?
Always on the hunt for something
To appease my brain
Old habits tryna find their way
To make us stay
But we aint bound to shit
That we used to tolerate

Eyes red
Tears run
My mind's detached
Watch my ego burn
Rebuild myself from scratch

Eyes red
Tears run
I can't go back
Used to chase highs
Now I chase respect

For years I lived in darkness
And hardships
All these doubts that kept me starving and guarded

For years I lived in darkness
And hardships
Now I use all that I harnessed instead

Ah
Me vs me
I'm focused on my redemption
Knees before I sleep
Going back to pops tradition
The weight on me
I ain't Popeyes
This ain't spinach
Younger me
Sliding dollar bills all in my linen
If you love it gotta hide it
Household addictions
Called it 30 day
To downplay our evictions
The drip was mandatory
Couldn't let them see me slippin
Funny how I shitted on em
Without having a pot to piss in
Listen we can't keep talkin
On what we finna do
They can bring the hate
But ain't no pressure if they ain't feeling you
Besides they can't bring the advice
If they ain't never had to slide
Catching two fades sliding out some tennis shoes

Eyes red
Tears run
My mind's detached
Watch my ego burn
Rebuild myself from scratch

Eyes red
Tears run
I can't go back
Used to chase highs
Now I chase respect

For years I lived in darkness
And hardships
All These doubts that kept me starving and guarded

For years I lived in darkness
And hardships
Now I use all that I harnessed instead
