Lyrics
I haven't slept in 6 years, plans don't stick here//
Been changed, reupped, stayed strong but slipped tears//
And here I am again explainin' the lessons taught//
Pourin' my soul into this mic like a confessional box//
I promise to ya'll, this my sole source of therapy//
I pray but even my soul's voice ain't speakin' clearly//
I nearly, lost my life three times, once from myself//
The other two times were a crutch to my health//
So when it comes to life it's hard to not try//
No license to my name but dammit I got drive//
Spent so many years bein' stepped on//
But when I stand up for myself people ask where's my respect gone?//
Guess what, I'm not above riddin' ya health//
So if you think Sly's soft you're just kiddin' yourself//
But everybody feels this right? times where hope is//
so far off the map it runs from coast to coast it's//
Hopeless, that word holds no weight here//
How selfish to tell the world to stop, wait here//
While I try to catch a moment to figure//
How to grow mentally while my body gets bigger//
I stop spittin' thinkin' if I got it at all//
When it comes to hearts the bigger they are the harder they fall//
And Adog I couldn't explain the pain if I could//
While you just laid there, everyday there it was crazy//
Wasn't honest, but I wouldn't lie to you//
Me and Vanessa cried so hard in that ICU//
I had so much to say but my lips were stuck//
Cause it was the first time you were down and I couldn't pick you up//
I was like man, what's God tryin' to teach us//
'05 nothin' but stress and times of weakness//
But it's so selfish to think of Sly//
Lookin' at how strong your parents are, how could I ever think to cry//
