Living never seems to get easier
 Practice makes perfect 
 I m not trying to hear that
 Feeling depressed has never been easier
 I am befuddled 
 My pain is so loud 
 But it's subtle 
 Like heaven 
 It's on earth
 Flip my name its earth without the h
 I never caught the h 
 Am I going to h
 Because I lost my faith
 It's gotten to the point where I can't feel my heart ache
 Lil homie are you straight 
 I said yeah
 But you couldn't tell I had scoliosis
 My eyes are barely open
 My want to go to sleep
 These are the cards I was delt 
 I swear I never chose it
 Why was chosen
 I made a choice
 You only have sex with the women you love
 Or thought you did
 You would never want to foster a kid
 Running through the city with my bros 
 Running through the city with my bro 
 He messed me up
 What is loyalty
 You a king you think you royalty
 My parents never spoiled me
