Dead B4 Daylight

The sudden storm of stress that begets self-destruction

I really want to press it when I'm pressed but it doesn't

Come with promises, that's ominous to me, all the nothing

So I'm cutting myself off from my family and friends

They don't need to see me, they can see the cedar at the end

I don't even believe them when they leading with "how's school?"

Like a meter from leaping and I'm feeling their doubt's cruel

Rather easily injured by the mirror, they deal with me

Just a couple weeks since Richard died, I missed the funeral

Not unique when I'm weeping, triggered simply being lately

Barely eat, but the cigarettes I smoke innumerable

Haven't been to classes in more than a week

I'm using three feet of snow as an excuse for being weak

Not on speaking terms with anybody other than my roomie

And I'm squeaking by, hiding the truth: I feel so gloomy

Wasting all my time at Uni, losing to my fight or flight

Writing raps and watching movies 'til like 6AM at night

Every time I want to bawl, I just stall and go get high

If my cousin hadn't called, they'd found me dead before the daylight

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

I'm having visions

Visions of a better place

Where the kids can play outside without a murder case

I'm trippin' but do not question my existence

No matter the situation I shatter the competition

Driving through my city, all is I see poverty, prosecution, prostitution, problematic our sovereignty

Doesn't match the constitution

Why is he a Commodity?

We steady introducing A darker economy

Where the rich die good and the poor die slow

Ima work until my mother fuckin' brakes grind off, okay

Who go'n be the next, on your head, I see the "X"

Better watch you're step, before you drown and lose a breath

Locked inside my ways, pistol cocked inside the brain

Issues me the slave cause I ain't never had a day

Where I can go play, do whatever I say

Slay whoever in my way

The truth uncovered from the shade, okay

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right

Look into my eyes, dead before the daylight

Suicide, In disguise, no surprise, I ain't right
