[Byron Henderson - HAKAI. lyrics]
Babe come closer
Why are you so far away? I'm cold
Prophecy fulfilled
An addiction to the thrill was overshadowed
By my constant inability to feel
Had a convo with my conscience that’s
Been eating me alive since
Tell me I’m too young to die
But you and I know that I will for real
Probably thought it was only music
Even when I had a heart
I worked hard with no time to use it
I told y'all a storm was coming
Oh, you ain't heard how these
Wolves turn chattel and kindness
They abuse it
If best friends really make great for enemies
You'd better heed warnings if that's
What it's finna be
In this uphill battle we call life
Lately, perspective isn't worth much
But that's alright
Cause even though I rarely saw light
Never lost sight of my goals
Like never mind Rina
Who's next up on the polls hold up
I missed out on plenty beautiful souls
On this road to recovery, Wait
Brittany, Tanisha, whoever
Just know I hope this planet loves you today
Who would have thought my downfall would
Set me up to be great
I spent years trying to fix
Myself and kept quiet
Watched friends start dropping like flies
But kept trying cause when life gave lemons
She kept it pushing despite them
Only for her to end up hanging
Just like them for years
Tried to find a way to cope with her leaving
Like, maybe Rina killed herself because
She thought she was dreaming
Though whatever keeps you alive will
Probably be your demise
But with all these lows
Who thought our last high
Would be our goodbye
Cause they say money makes
The world go round, I LOL at that
ILY though I know she won't
Ever text it back
When the sun goes down
Tell me what you live for
Because I don’t see change round here
To be honest
I just see a lot a chains round here
Gold nooses, love ain’t a thing round here
Whoa
I don’t have a lot of time left
Being afraid to love is childish
You know we’re all blessed
You’ll be leaking here for nothing
So love yours cause if it’s your last hour
Then you know we’re bout to stress so hard
They say money makes the world go round
I LOL at that iMY though I know she won't
Ever text it back if I spit it
You'd better believe it's real
I make the type of records
Even a paraplegic feels all perspective
I've seen dudes do less with more
Fail to realize what they're blessed with
Before you know it
They go from the hardest person you've
Ever met in your life to
A pessimistic mess on the floor
That was destined to flourish
Dawg, it gets deep
No matter how popping these waves are
Cause ain't no better flow than me as far
All these so called peers can see
Ain't even on my radar
Girls getting preyed on so much
They forget their knees were used to pray on
I just hope Aaliyah gets spared
For her well being i'm well aware my mind
State is still healthy
Enough to feed her food for thought
I just hope she's still eating
With Kels at odds with herself
We'll never feel even
I was exhausted, lost in my thoughts
Making our moments bittersweet
Thinking what did they cost
Could move mountains with this brain of mine
But couldn’t kill my doubt yet
These vocal chords are here for a reason
In need of outlets
Had to find some inner peace
Leave me lone a couple years
Let me get back on my
Feet to fight my demons, Not my tears
Feared the loss of my girls
Through your minor point of views
Till I grew
And realized they were never mine to lose
When the sun goes down
Tell me what you live for
Because I don’t see change round here
To be honest
I just see a lot a chains round here
Gold nooses, love ain’t a thing round here
Whoa
I don’t have a lot of time left
Being afraid to love is childish
You know we’re all blessed
You’ll be leaking here for nothing
So love yours cause if it’s your last hour
Then you know we’re bout to stress so hard
Back in the day
I used to hope I never crossed the line
End up crucified
These bullet will make you dolphin dive
I made a promise I’m down to
Keep till my dying day
Know it ain’t your time when even depression
Will stand in line to wait
Dudes I used to ball with
Are now spree killers
Best mistake was always being myself at
The right time and place
I told y’all, it’s like three of
Me when I’m on my one, Two
And I burn bridges
So where are my haters going to run to
Now you would think these
Memories trigger resentment
Negative energy seeping out of
My pores like liquor
You hear the screeching of the tires
See the car smoke
But all you really see is black and white
Winnie Harlow i don’t see the logic in it
Everybody under pressure cause
Whatever you say
Everybody and their mom’s offended
Had to explain to Kelsey why
I was done living
Everything I needed to do for me
I’m done with it
Need I reiterate that we’re rebels
I was fighting for years
Till I found a way to dodge these devils
So many sacrifices had to be made
I’d rather not feel anything than
Ever have to be caged
Ain’t no more hopscotch where we stay
All they know is blood splatter, sirens
And police tape ironic how me dying early on
Allowed me to live longer
I’ll be fine knowing my soul has
Finally been granted a release date
When the sun goes down
Tell me what you live for
Because I don’t see change round here
To be honest
I just see a lot a chains round here
Gold nooses, love ain’t a thing round here
Whoa
I don’t have a lot of time left
Being afraid to love is childish
You know we’re all blessed
You’ll be leaking here for nothing
So love yours cause if it’s your last hour
Then you know we’re bout to stress so hard
So as I was saying
The ramblings of a mad man can be
Very dangerous especially for
Those that listen (Right)
Why are you so far away? I'm cold
Prophecy fulfilled
An addiction to the thrill was overshadowed
By my constant inability to feel
Had a convo with my conscience that’s
Been eating me alive since
Tell me I’m too young to die
