I gotta get that back
It's a thug life, it's a thug life
I gotta get that back (sha-na-na-na-na-sha-ah)
It's a thug life (la-da-da-da)
It's a thug life (it's a, oh-uh-oh)
Ooh-ah (Sha-na-na-na-na-na-sha-ah)
La-da-da-da (It's a— oh-uh-oh)
Oh-ah
Tried to treat a man like baby
Feel the teeth sink in like rabies
Boy you know you don't look fly
Dem gold chains turn your neck green, bye
It's different like the silent of skeletons
I ain't know I possessed
I sought perfection out in ways I no longer accept
I understand what I neglected, times when I obsessed
I'm ready to confess, this fate is hard until I address
The biggest threat I'm up against is who I face in my reflection
Depression still an uninvited guest I'm always accepting
Can't help but meet the feeling with the familiar embrace
But I know that it will kill me if I give in to my brain
I see the shadows inside, they ten feet tall with no eyes
They put my head in the water and it's so beautiful under
The Sun reflecting off the corals, colors I can't describe
To make the darkness divine
Should of been out of sight
La-da-da-da
It's a, oh-uh-oh
Oh-ah
Should of been out of sight
La-da-da-da
It's a, oh-uh-oh
Oh-ah
Should of been out of sight
