[00:00.23]Oh my
[00:17.94]Washing out cigarettes in the bathroom
[00:20.00]Should probably only give my opinion
[00:21.51]When I'm asked to
[00:24.33]I'm really good at telling the half truth
[00:26.28]But usually only when I have to
[00:28.94]The money doesn't work the chain doesn't work
[00:31.67]Something broken in my brain got me praying in the dirt
[00:34.28]Got me stranded in my bed like I'm laying in the hearse
[00:36.95]And the grass is always greener when you play on astroturf
[00:39.65]Wonder why my generation poppin' pills and poppin' percs
[00:42.27]And got some w**d and got some purp
[00:43.67]And got some bars and got some syurp
[00:45.07]And got some Jordan's on my feet
[00:46.46]I went and matched them with my shirt
[00:47.88]And I just Instagrammed them both
[00:49.28]To show you that I got them first
[00:50.87]Got a Louis duffel bag I got my girl a purse
[00:53.55]I'm tryna find God through a purchase
[00:55.19]I'm not tryna go to church
[00:56.38]Amen satan told me not to serve
[00:59.26]I only think about myself
[01:00.59]I only think about my worth
[01:01.95]I only think about my come-up capitalism
[01:05.17]Look at where we come from we are what we run from
[01:10.62]We are why we smoke some so numb so numb so numb

[02:03.75]Looking in the mirror like d**n that ain't my dad is it
[02:06.56]He handed a choice but he ain't hold my hand in it
[02:09.36]I spent a pretty penny on microphones many midis
