Sometimes Dead Is Better

Crawled out the coffin, I'm raisin' the stakes

Watch 'em all run when I step into place

Send you to Hell if you step in my way

Can't build a life without blood on the blade

Crawled out the coffin, I kicked down the door

Walk in the room, let me settle the score

The chains of my past still clank like war

I did it all from my room, I don't need much more

Yeah, look at what I started

Really I had nothin', but I did it all regardless

No matter what I make, now I'ma treat it like an artist

Drop another tape, then I turn 'em to a carcass

Just a sad boy way back in 2018

So much darkness in my head, man, I was struggling to breathe

Music only way to vent, so I was grindin' like a fiend

Made my struggles somethin' better, tryna live out all my dreams

Now I'm 28 and feelin' like a veteran

I remember suicidal thoughts what I was wrestlin'

Glad I never gave in to the pain that I was weatherin'

'Cause I've been gettin' older but the money never settlin'

Took the weight off of my soul like that, but I work too much

Every day's another step, that I take out the mud

I don't wait for the bag, I just take it and run

That's the way that I lap, overtake everyone

(Sometimes dead is better)

(But I don't wanna run from this)

(I'm still in love with this, yeah, yeah)

Crawled out the coffin, I'm raisin' the stakes

Watch 'em all run when I step into place

Send you to Hell if you step in my way

Can't build a life without blood on the blade

Crawled out the coffin, I kicked down the door

Walk in the room, let me settle the score

The chains of my past still clank like war

I did it all from my room, I don't need much more
