I’ve seen the devil in my best friends
The worst sins, I forgive and forget them
Cuz I know he also lives in my head
And everyday I just pray he keep silent
It’s 4 am
Hail Mary Mallon, and I’m manic
Sweating in a panic, eyes buggin like Rami Malek
Darth Malak, tryna bring me to the dark side
Left and right brain on apartheid
Friend in a hospital in Richmond
Cuz she need assistance
Depression almost took another victim
Now she on prescriptions, to suppress him
The one that told her death would be a blessing
Now I’m stressing cuz of what I saw, cuz of what she said
When I tried to help, she wished I was dead
Cuz all these friends that want her alive
Are traitors in her eyes, cuz we won’t let her die
Was that really a lie?
I’m sure that she was finding it difficult to survive
But I’ve seen her highs, and I know she can make it out the lows
But that devil doesn’t want to let her go
Do or die, when I’m catching my vibe
Asking me why I write, I’m tryna sort out my life
Put all my shit in order
I’m just here for the ride, but that ride keeps getting shorter
Still approaching the border
I’m in the corner gasping for air
They see me dying they don’t understand, and ask why I care
Why you letting shit get to you, life ain’t so bad
Telling me I’m crazy like I ain’t know that
I’m mad at the world, but really mad at myself for needing help
Feel like I should punish myself, I need a belt
Or maybe I think I should put that belt around my arm first
Maybe then I wouldn’t need to feel the scars hurt
Step back, I need to breath
Feel my energy, about to go to TNT
I know these feeling ain’t really me, no
I know that my demons ain’t really me
If you don't already know clipping., they're speed rap over industrial noise. It's harsh, it's challenging, but it is also, as my friends put it, turnt as shit. Daveed Diggs is a rap god. Wülf Boi
Josh is a good friend of mine, but I promise, I'm not just giving his album this recommendation because of that. These chiptunes are actually amazing. The melodies are playful and emotional Wülf Boi
