[Intro]
C#mYeah, this just my lBife
EFront to back, top to bottom
[Bridge]
C#mEverything's changing aroAund me
EThese days don't feel the same
C#mWe all lost faith and losAt family
EWhy must we play this game?
C#mLord have mercy Eon me
I've been a sinning man
C3m A
Pull out my wings, jump off the bridge
EAnd crash in a plane, if I never land
[Hook]
C#mKnow I nAever Edie
We live foC#mrever Ain my mEind
And C#mI sanActifEy
We live forC#mever, stAill aElive
[Verse]
C#mThere's a lot going on but I stick to the ones I love
BI never claimed to be a perfect man but name a great man who was
C#mConsequences of my actions in the paAst years had me stressing out
EIt was like, May, I just moved to L.A., I was tryna figure it out
C#mMedication for depression that I cut colAd turkey, had the kid manic
EIn an episode out in Hollywood, wilding out like Nick Cannon
C#mRailing Adderall pills out a dollar billB, on the bathroom floor
EClean the whole mess up with my nose, what the fuck I need a vacuum for?
C#mNew York City on my birthday, June 6thA, 2014
EI had that first meeting with Hov, plus I brought out the whole team
C#mI drank that whole bottle of D'usse Ty Ty Agave me that night
EWhen we left the club, at the Rap Genius house me and shorty got into a fight
C#mShe came out the room swinAgin', hit me in the jaw
I was really tryna fend her off
But I ended up in the closet with my hands around her neck
I was tripping, dawg
C#mToo proud to apologize or empathize, I blamed it all on her
ESaying that she hit me first, eveBn though she was the one hurt
C#mI was really just reAflecting all the hurt that I was feeling from the band's rejection
EWhen Kids These Days split, that shit felt like a c-section
C#mAnd my infidelity and jealousy with NAatalie on top of the amphetamines
EAnd the ecstasy had me tryna drown face down in the Chesapeake
C#mThe next month I dropped "Down on My LuAck" and had Europe going nuts
EBut I couldn't even appreciate it at the time, I was going through too much
ANow I had to leverage million dollar label deals on the table for my records
EIn Ibiza eating paella on the roBof, tryna choose over breakfast
C#mHov wasn't with the bidding war, but I knew the Roc just felt right
C#mWhen I saw Kanye at Wireless, without T-Pain, still a good life
C#mFelt so close when Mr. Hudson iAntroduced me to him backstage
EHe prolly don't even remember that shit... like a bitch off Backpage
C#mBut at that stage, I was ready to swiBng for the fence like a batting cage
C#mAt the same time, I was winding down a Alow point in my addict phase
C#mThe Adderall started wearing off and I went into a deep writer's block
C#mAll over a song that I couldn't finish that I wroteA about signin' to the Roc
C#mIsn't that ironic? I was fAeeling so psychEotic
C#mWith the whole world excited for me and my idol saying I got it
C#mShit got bad out in L.A., so I moved bAack home to my mom's basement
ELinked up with Smoko and Papi Beatz and took it back to basics
C#mThen I wrote "RAage," that was me screaming out through the pain
EAnd "U Mad," addressing my relationship with Natalie, it was too bad
C#mThe violence and the lies slipped suiAcide into my mental health
EI did acid in the studio one day and almost killed myself
C#mAs I started to fall apart, cAertain stars started to align
EOm'Mas came to Chicago in January at the perfect time
C#mHe said Kanye was working on an album, and UAzi played him one of our songs
EHe was tryna fly me out, nigga, it was goin' down like the Dow Jones
C#mPulled up to Westlake, first dAay I was there, I recorded "Wolves"
EI knew I was the one, like Neo meeting with the Oracle
F#mBut I had to get a handle 'fore the door was pulled
ACrawled out on SNL
EAll the niggas hating on me back home lookin' at me like, "FML"
C#mA lot of people coming out the wood like, "LetA's work," tryna network
EAll the pressure making my head hurt, the molly wouldn't let the meds work
C#mAt this time it's like Feb. 1st to the 15tAh, and I'm still addicted
EFrustrated, writing shit for Ye, tryna visualize someone else's vision
C#mThen he laid that verse on "U AMad" and we made the shit the single
BYe and Hov getting into it over me, tryna do a joint venture
C#mAnd G.O.O.D. Music still fam, but it's that BRoc boy SAVEMONEY life
ETook the bus out on the road for the TrafBfic tour, did a hundred nights
C#mCleaned out my closet, I got rid of all of my demons
EIf you learn one thing from my journey, nigga it's don't stop believing
C#mWhen this shit got so suffocating I could barelAy even keep breathing
EWrote my wrongs all in this song now I'd like to welcome y'all to my season
Nigga I'm C#mgone A E B C#m
[Hook]
C#mKnow I nAever Edie
We live foC#mrever Ain my mEind
