Last Of Me

Verse 1

Woke up sweating in the middle of the night

Hands shaking and I swear I heard my own voice die

They watch me every time I try to grab the mic

Silence creeping up my throat like it's got a knife

Mind is racing through the corridor of my own head

Demons knocking on my skull and I can't find the bed

Every breath I take feels borrowed from the grave

I'm counting down the minutes that I'll never save

Verse 2

They blocked the studio door and sealed my fate

Found my name on a list they wrote too late

Looking in the mirror and I don't know the face

Staring back at me with sorrow and disgrace

I keep running toward the finish line I never chose

Death keeps calling like a homie that I almost know

Tell my road dogs I ain't leaving out of fear

Just promise me you'll say my words when I'm not here

Verse 3

Paranoia wrapped around my chest like a chain

Mama told me life was war so I came built for pain

But even soldiers break when the night gets long

And the enemy is me singing my own death song

Every syllable I spit could be the final one

Every verse I write might be my last undone

They stole the tongue from my mouth before I said

The truth that I was born to bleed in every breath

Bridge

Fuck the glory and the money and the fame

All I ever wanted was to speak my fucking name

Nigga pray for me when the lights go dim

Mothafucka tell my story when you sing my hymns

Verse 4

I can feel the clock inside my ribcage slow

Every heartbeat dragging heavy down below

They think they won because my voice goes weak

But words ain't never silent when a soldier speaks

Running toward the darkness with my eyes wide shut

Fate gon catch a nigga but it can't catch what I got

Put this shit on wax so the block remembers

When I'm in the dirt my homies hold the embers

Bridge

One last thing before the night takes me in

Guard my legacy like I'd guard my closest kin

Tell the children that I fought and I ain't run

Even as my final breath went out my lungs
