And everyday's another chapter, one page closer to the finish line, and then... wait. Come on. Yo, where'd the beat go? [Chorus/Hook] Yo! This is my comeback song Make a play for me, but just don't run that wrong 'Cause I got ways from every angle to kill your career And I got techniques to straight up fulfill all your fears (x2) [Verse] You should call me 'Manson' the way I body these poets And every line I write, you know I gotta' be focused I'm underground as hell, still got a lot to be noticed And people always kick me down, down and drop me to hopeless So fuck it, now I'm just steady concentrating Pushed away all the fakes who just left contemplating But you gotta' respect the way I spit and kick a line From the way I came up; soon enough I'll fit in fine The first words I ever spoke rhymed together perfectly Knew when I grew up I'd murder beats to the third degree Even though I'm fucked up and could've used some brain surgery I stayed ill on the mic and kept that shit most certainly So you can spread those rumours and tell me that I'm fake as fuck But prepare it to bounce back 'cause I can take enough To hold my own through all the bullshit that's happened Nothing's gonna' stop me from giving my fullest at rapping It's like... [Chorus/Hook] Yo! This is my comeback song Make a play for me, but just don't run that wrong 'Cause I got ways from every angle to kill your career And I got techniques to straight up fulfill all your fears (x2)

Hurt 03:54
[Verse 1] Right now there’s someone with a needle in their vein Tryna’ escape reality and the people and the shame Flashing back to moments of the evilness and flames Opening new doors, which just leads to more pain Curiosity temptation, temptation to addiction Addiction to loneliness and loneliness to prison These four walls drive you from insanity to death No one would even know ‘cause your family all left And they think it’s your fault, a stranger in the first Think you made decisions to hurt them in the worst ways Little did they know that you had good intentions Then it became nonsense to have these interventions They gave up like everyone else, it always happens Run away to a different world where no one passes TIll your last breath you wonder who’s dropping your casket A few randoms who get paid to leave you in the blackness [Chorus/Hook]: Sampled from Johnny Cash's "Hurt" I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything [Verse 2] Right now there’s someone with a gun in their right hand A rope in their left, ready to cease all of life’s plans Nothing to stay for, every reason to die Mentality of when you plan on leaving this life The lavished to the norm, the norm to depression Depression to aggression, then why live is the question Can’t break through sadness ‘cause it’s greater With their blood they start to write a letter on some paper But then fall back, bled out, unconscious Must’ve hit an artery, bound to happen in the process Most of your skin is just gashes and scars Drowning in the liquor, killing your liver and heart Your last thoughts will be of the people that you’ve damaged And what you could’ve done to make your life average When friends tried to help, but screamed “no one can stop me” Now it’s unlikely someone will ever discover your body It's real... [Chorus/Hook]: Sampled from Johnny Cash's "Hurt" I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything

[Chorus/Hook]: Sampled from Jackie Greene's "I Don't Live In a Dream" I don't live in a dream I don't live in a dream I don't live inside a land forgotten I don't live in a dream [Verse 1]: Eyeconic Eyeconic! Fuck it, I never listened to mama/ I take a sip of my drink and I mix it with karma/ The problem is I burned the bridge to Nirvana/ So I run through the wilderness and swim with piranhas/ Life's a bitch but this ain't no kiss and tell/ When I see change I throw it in the wishing well/ People tell me I'll make it but they're not wishing well/ They hide behind pretty faces and a list from hell/ But look at me, look at what the world did to me/ I'm on a constant junkie search for some nicotine/ But I never self harmed man my wrist is clean/ I just chill, rap and search for a chick to please/ See, at this point, yeah, I guess that I'm quite scared/ Fuck the rules because life never fights fair/ I can see my dream, it's standing right there/ But you get to live it while I'm stuck in a nightmare/ [Chorus/Hook]: Sampled from Jackie Greene's "I Don't Live In a Dream" I don't live in a dream I don't live in a dream I don't live inside a land forgotten I don't live in a dream [Verse 2]: Alex-Ander They say life's a symphony, I'm just humming the notes Living on the edge without coming to close Life's a marathon, I'm the one running the show Life's a battle, yo, don't make fun of the flow And I've been busting my ass off, everyday Wondering why I rap when you don't care anyway Steering this shit, but stuck at a stop sign It's life, but I wanna scream "fuck it, it's not mine" I'm too embarrassed to say what I've experienced Not 'cause I'm not serious, 'cause I hate it, period So tell me when people will stop being judgemental I'll be waiting forever with a pen and a pencil Jotting down questions about why the hell I'm here Hopefully some time I can tell it's near Didn't chose life, it was given to me But let me tell you one thing, I'm not living a dream [Chorus/Hook]: Sampled from Jackie Greene's "I Don't Live In a Dream" I don't live in a dream I don't live in a dream I don't live inside a land forgotten I don't live in a dream (x2)

[Hook from "Take Me Away" off of 'Bipolar'] Take me away, just take me away Go and find someone to replace me today I'm waiting for me to be gone and faded away Take me away, just take me away (x2) Life, life, let it spin, let it spin Have a bad day, wake up and do it again [Verse 1 - Alex-Ander] I wanna do drugs, I wanna get away I wanna tell myself that everything will be okay I want some sleeping pills, some psychotropics I don’t wanna live knowing life is hopeless What’s hopeless is the hope that I’m hoping for Burn a couple bridges, and then lead me to another broken door So I’m trapped, no way to escape Fuck it, I lost, I played to betray And now, here I lay, I’m just drowning in the brink of death Feel the brain cells dying so I’m thinking less All I can concentrate on is all the percocet Down a dozen more, I can’t feel them working yet It’s crazy what thoughts of suicide will do I can’t live my life when life is something that I’m dying through The strongest medication can't get me to rest But this bullet can with a few knives in my chest [Hook - Alex-Ander] What happens when you can’t breathe anymore fresh air? Do you deal with the toxins and act like you don’t care? Who learns? Who wins? ‘cause I’ve been wondering the same damn thing (x2) [Verse 2 - Basick Musick] I'm drowning under the water, why bother with tryna breathe again? ‘Cause nothing but demons seem to be seeping in Inside of my heart, I’m fallin’ apart, ’n its hard to keep in check Fatherin’ a daughter that I’m afraid to see again ‘Cause I never had the proper father figure to base it on All of my life, I was raised by the greatest mom ’n I appreciate the hand I was given to fail Insistent to bail, but I’m livin’ still hitting’ the rails I’m trying’ hard to get over my fears, and i feel like the devil is near; ‘Cause hell is here And he’s plotting and planning, to take away all my sanity He’s blocking out the sun, while depression’s hittin’ me manically I’m practically within the noose of my life, ’n I seem to be losing the fight It’s like I’m choking, ’n hoping nobody cuts the rope Just let me go, to this better home, ‘n I’ll let you know You know? [Hook - Alex-Ander & Basick Musick]: What happens when you can’t breathe anymore fresh air? Do you deal with the toxins and act like you don’t care? Who learns? Who wins? ‘cause I’ve been wondering the same damn thing (x2) [Verse 3 - Alex-Ander]: I wanna live, I don’t wanna die If there’s a promise that everything will be alright You live a short period, then it’s gone fast Painting the picture, adding just a touch of contrast So what's the point of dealing with shit so often When everybody forgets once you hit the coffin? Slow down, take a while Love life, fake a smile But only when I frown, I’m close to loving life Fuck life, too keen on tragedy, man I don’t know what’s right Like damn, am I serving yet? Or is everybody gonna keep spitting me onto their serviette? You can’t say I’m crazy when you don’t know half of it Lyrics on a track can’t begin to tell what’s happening I’m tryna let it go, though I may never know If it gets better later, or if it’s forever, so [Hook - Alex-Ander & Basick Musick] What happens when you can’t breathe anymore fresh air? Do you deal with the toxins and act like you don’t care? Who learns? Who wins? ‘cause I’ve been wondering the same damn thing What happens when you can’t breathe anymore fresh air? Who learns? Who wins? Do you deal with the toxins and act like you don’t care? ‘cause I’ve been wondering the same damn thing What happens when you can’t breathe anymore fresh air? Do you deal with the toxins and act like you don’t care? Who learns? Who wins? ‘cause I’ve been wondering the same damn thing
