Oh my God, Ronny
Lately, I've been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I’m living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard
Life’s been getting to me, I just started smoking squares (I'm stressed)
But they ain't getting in my circle dawg, we still prepared (forreal)
I'm still dealing with some demons that ain't really there
Grew up a screw-up, pierced my ear and dyed my fucking hair (like dad)
In 7th grade, I didn't even have a bed, I had to share (forreal)
The fuck you think I go so hard for, I got out of there (I'm gone)
Have you ever had somebody try to take your life? (huh?)
Sometimes, I ain't safe from myself when I stay up at night
Lately, I’ve been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I’m living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it’s very hard
Lately, I've been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I'm living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it’s very hard
Look, I promised myself I ain't never going home (not at all)
9 years old, my momma left me in the cold (God damn)
Ayy, what do you think that type of shit do to your soul?
Found someone that finally loved me, still I treat her like a hoe (that shit is fucked up)
Damn, it be the shit that don't know (they don't know)
I only smile in public just for show
I know they tried to warn me 'bout my dose
You know them kids be with the Ye and now them kids be seeing ghosts
Lately, I've been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I'm living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard
Lately, I've been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I'm living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard
Uh, ayy, yeah, them demons ain't the only ones that's up at night
Huh, yeah, ayy
Uh, ayy, yeah, them demons ain't the only ones that's up at night
It appears the mark of a human being
Or a demons, God save us
Them demons ain't the only ones that's up at night
Lately, I've been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I'm living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard
Lately, I've been having crazy thoughts (yeah)
The way I'm living, shit get crazy dark
Tell me lately, why we barely talk (why)
And you know I'm tryna change, but it's very hard
