DEAD

If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for music, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for things that you said

Deep tumble, the cradle up in my head, nah

If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for truth, I'd be dead

If I weren't in the booth, I'd be dead

Leave sorrow to something I can't forget, nah

If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for music, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for things that you said

Deep tumble, the cradle up in my head, nah

If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for truth, I'd be dead

If I weren't in the booth, I'd be dead

Leave sorrow to something I can't forget, nah

I put everything I had into this fucking music

It's been a shaky rollercoaster, but I stayed through it

And as I scream these notes through the voice in my neck

Out of mind when I almost put a blade through it

I saw family and had to put the knife down

Yeah, I'm thankful that my sister put the pipe down

'Cause if you weren't there to help me sort my fights out

I would never see Lil Shelby come to life now

So don't be looking up to people who got mental wealth

You should be focused on yourself and your mental health

I know it's hard to run away from all the things you felt

But if you tumble in on something then the rest gets dealt

You need to go and find your soul, reinvent yourself

I'd rather travel 'round the world in some shit hotels

Than sit here being anxious thinking, "Is my shit gon' sell?"

The fucking lies that I tell myself

Hello, little girl, welcome Shelby to the world

I'ma be your uncle, let it twist and let it twirl

I'ma buy you diamonds and mumma buy you pearls

We could run the world

Until Armageddon, I'm thankful for setting

For saving the mystery, fools to be reckoned

For cruel to be wasteful, humiliation disgraceful

My hardest talent's hidden

If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for music, I'd be dead

If it wasn't for things that you said

Deep tumble, the cradle up in my head, nah

If it wasn't for you, I'd be dead
