[Intro]
Blow some smoke up to the gods
Ayy, we're doin' this all summer, alright
Lived nine lives, so I guess I got none left
Spent mine fucked up runnin' down Sunset
All this anxiety, my stomach got upset, ayy
But we're not done yet
Yeah, yeah, ayy

[Verse 1]
I wear this cross so God can find me if my soul gets lost
I look behind me and the past still haunts
I'm runnin' but my legs won't move or walk
I'm stuck analyzin' things people are finding that I've done wrong
I cannot erase them like chalk
I'm hustling, Rick Ross, no days off
Got everything I wanted but I'm still pissed off
Paint my face on a motherfucking bullseye
Pulled up late to my goddamn funeral
Everybody hates, but can anybody love me?
Guess they'll wait 'til my face is on the mural

[Chorus]
One drink, one pill, one hit, one line
I'm good, that's it, I swear, we're fine
Sometimes the life feels easier, yeah, ayy
One day, our dreams will come to life
We'll be forever and never say goodbye
Sometimes the life feels easier, yeah

[Verse 2]
Lungs screwed, black smoking blunts in a face mask
Gums numb from the cocaine, can't taste that
OJ gloves so the cops can't trace that
Scars on my body from the town I was raised at
Parental advisory stickers, I say what the fuck I want
Parental figures all went missing, I'll be who the fuck I want
I'm a 90s baby, but I always been a hundred
I'm the king of controversy, but deep down, I'm just a lover, singin'
Happiness is an illusion, I keep looking through
I don't need the world, maybe I just need you

[Chorus]
One drink, one pill, one hit, one line
I'm good, that's it, I swear, we're fine
Sometimes the life feels easier (Yeah, yeah, yeah), ayy
One day, our dreams will come to life
We'll be forever and never say goodbye
Sometimes the life feels easier, yeah (Say goodbye, say goodbye)

[Outro]
Lived nine lives, so I guess I got none left
Spent mine fucked up runnin' down Sunset
All this anxiety, my stomach got upset, ayy
But we're not done yet
Yeah
