Whatever Helps Me Sleep At Night

i woke up in retrospective
like a me detective
i pushed da snooze switch
fix my circadian glitch
i sluffed da quilt
to rediscover my guilt
but da hilt
of my ignorance at best
was buried in my chest
den i woke up cryin
choked up an tired of tryin
please dont take me back
to da black
sack of strife dats my life
but da devil an OG of pain
so he replayed my worst faults again
a highlight reel of shame dats forever playin

such a nice pad
visits increase just a tad
i could swear before i moved
friends was more ghost den simba's dad
whippin a '93 camry bitches made fun of me
now got so many whips yall'd think i got company
five closets over flowin so much gear
im givin my friends children hand me downs dis year
g4 pilots is sendin me christmas letters
fired my chauffeur cuz a girl drivin would look better
my boo for da weekend
makes me breakfast when i sleep in
but da faces dat seep in
an out of my covers
remind dat da only girl dat loves me's my mother
popped open a 40 but all i swallowed was my pride
cause my struggles is humble but these scars is bonafide
i aint like michael, no golden hearse fa me
even if dis nigga balled harder than chemotherapy
in death i'll no longer be cakin or on grip
ta hell or to heaven its a one-way trip
no carry-ons no luggage no attendant to tip
i shed my fresh ery night before i lay down
i kick off my jordans an throw my fitted to da ground
cuz so much ice'd freeze my soul to da floor
when im on knees stayin lifted tryna get at da Lord
get nekked in da shower cuz everything soaks
in da end erything burns' wat im tryna tell dese folks
when i go before God i ditch da clothes on my back
cause all i'se born wit was word an i cant take dat back
tho like drake i want dis shit fo eva mane
im quick to give it up cause da devil aint playin
long as im livin im fightin an never conformin
so while da dark sky is stormin
an new hardships is formin
i shed my sins at night an my tears in da mornin
