There's a fragile game you play
If the ghosts of yesterday
If we can't let go whenever, say goodbye
No trace of what remains
No stones to mark the graves
Only memories we thought we could deny
There's so much more to lose
Than the pain I put you through
And my carelessness that left you in the dark
And the blood may wash away
But the skies will never fade
At least I know somehow I made a mark
In the dark,
In the light
Nothing left,
Nothing right
In the dark,
In the light
Nothing left,
Nothing right
In the dark,
In the light
Nothing left,
Nothing right
In the dark,
In the light
Nothing left,
Nothing right
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend I can forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just ‘cuz I know I can
But I can’t pretend this is the way it will stay
I’m just (trying to bend the truth)
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be
So I’m
Lying me way from you (no, no turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside so let me go (no, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I’d rather be all alone (no turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
‘Cuz I can see (no, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you is me
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that
And this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person
Really is me and I’m (trying to bend the truth)
But the more I push
The more I’m pulling away
‘Cuz I’m lying my way from
You (no, no turning back now)
I wanna be pushed aside so let me go (no, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I’d rather be all alone (no turning back now)
Anywhere on my own
‘Cuz I can see (no, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me…
This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this
This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me (like this)
This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you running from me (like this)
This isn’t what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would have you runni

Yeah! Yo!
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken,
So conditioned, I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness,
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
so afraid, I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held
Back up, no, I hold myself.
Check the rep, yep you know mine well
Forget the rest let them know my hell.
There and back,yet my soul ain't sell
Kept respect up the best they fell,
Let the rest be to tale they tell
That I was there saying...
Chorus:
And these promises broken deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you...
Go, go, go.
Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's it working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I've come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat, it aint my tone
I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
Cause I was there saying...
Chorus:
And these promises broken deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you...
Go, go, go.
No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know: Go H

I’ma be that nail in your coffin
Sayin’ that I soften
I was duckin’ down to reload
So you can save your petty explanations
I don’t have the patience
Before you even say it I know
You let your pride and your ego
Talk slick to me no
That is not the way I get down
And look at how you lose your composure
Now let me show ya/Exactly how the breaking point sound
Chorus:
I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
What is it you want me to tell ya?
I am not the failure
I would rather live and let be
But you can’t make the right kinda threat to
Push me to let you/No you can’t intimidate me
Disrespect me so clearly/Now you better hear me
That is not the way it goes down
You did it to yourself and it’s over
Now let me show ya/Exactly how the breaking point sound
Chorus:
I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself!
You did it to yourself!
You did it to yourself!
You did it to yourself!
[Chorus]
I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies
Swallow up your pride
Suffer all alone in your misery
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here
So if you're asking me I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid
I've taking my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting
All the hurt inside you learned to hide so well
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are
Crawling in my skin!
[Without a sense of confidence,]
Consuming, confusing.
Crawling in my skin!
[Without a sense of confidence, I'm
convinced that there's just too much
pressure to take.]
There's something inside me
that pulls beneath the surface.
Crawling in my skin,
[Crawling in my skin]
These wounds they will not heal,
[wounds, they will not heal]
Fear is how I fall
[Fear is how I fall]
Confusing, confusing what is real.
Confusing what is real.
There's something inside me that
pulls beneath the surface,
consuming, con-confusing,
This lack of self-control I fear is never
ending,
controlling, I can't seem,
To find myself again, my walls are closing in.
[Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
that there's just too much pressure to take]
I've feel this way before, SO INSECURE!
Crawling in my skin,
These wounds they will not heal!
Fear is how fall!
Confusing what is real!
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me,
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own
reflection,
It's haunting, how I can't seem...
To find myself again, my walls are closing in.
[Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
that there's just too much pressure to take]
I've feel this way before, SO INSECURE!
Without a sense of confidence,
Without a sense of confidence,
Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
that there's just too much pressure to take!
Without a sense of confidence,
Without a sense of confidence,
Without a sense of confidence, I'm convinced
that there's just too much pressure to take!
To find myself again, my walls are closing in.

No control!
No surprise!
Throw the keys to the kingdom down there
Down the hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty
I fuck up everything I see
Fighting in futility
Its our Final war
Tell me what's worth fighting for
When we know there's nothing more
Take the hand or fist
Just to sell ourselves for this
The path we least resist
No control!
No surprise!
Throw the keys to the kingdom down there
Down the hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty
I fuck up everything I see
Fighting in futility
[Verse 2 - Mike]
Uh, I give you what you came for
This is not the same though
Got a different method
But I still can bring the pace so
Not all give the same though
I got down the same flow
I ain't shock and get you
Never really in my range, though
Somehow they ain't grow
High five, bango
All pride childs
Mama let the bass bang though
All you fucking lames go
Yelling out the names though
Careful what you shoot, cause you might hit what you came for
(Careful what you shoot, cause you might hit what you came for)
No control!
No surprise!
Throw the keys to the kingdom down there
Down the hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty
I fuck up everything I see
Fighting in futility
[Instrumental]
No control!
No surprise!
Throw the keys to the kingdom down there
Down the hole in my eye
I'm my own casualty
I fuck up everything I see
Fighting in futility
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit em wit, numerous
shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots wanna talk to Po-Po's, smoke em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin, glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin shocked when the bullet hit
Oh hey ma, how you, know niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna Fuck for Free like Akinyele
Take this ride, make you feel it
inside your belly, if it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact that everyone can see
these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe
this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
Got a condo with nuttin but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin n shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your hoe
Now

Like shining oil, this night is dripping down.
Stars are slipping down, glistening.
And I’m trying not to think what I’m leaving now
and no deceiving now.
It’s time you let me know
Let me know
[Chorus:]
When the lights go out and we open our eyes
out there in the silence, I’ll be gone.
I’ll be gone
Let the sun fade out and another one rise,
climbing through tomorrow, I’ll be gone
I’ll be gone
The sand between us is getting thinner now,
Into winter now, bittersweet.
And across that horizon, this sun is setting down
and you’re forgetting now, it’s time you let me go
Let me go
[Chorus]
And tell them I couldn’t help myself
And tell them I was alone
Oh, tell me I am the only one
and there’s nothing left to stop me
