Dead Silent - Chapter One lyrics
[Dead Silent - Chapter One lyrics]
This isn't entertainment
This is not what you came for
Ladies take a seat, let me explain it
Locked into my basement
Several months at a time
Writing out the story of my life
But it's time to put a change in, improvise
Take a minute or wherever
Your attention interlies
You're begging for my time
Like suddenly it's not mine
It's hard to give you what I never had
Boy does it fly
Barely keeping it together like a twist tie
Keeping up the talk
Cut you off like a swiss knife
Never been a rich guy
But I'll buy the biggest coffin for the old
Me when I find wherever it lies
Some of you missed me writing lines
And what does a man do? He provides
Honestly, I wrote this album like four times
Coming from a place so dark it absorbs light
Lead the blind thinking I could restore sight
Had an album written since before
I could afford a mic
Too many distractions, man am I glad cause
The dissatisfaction from the last
One is hazardous
Never got released, it just gathers dust
Voices in my head saying "Jared dazzle us
You never release anything fast enough
It may not matter to you
But it matters to us"
They want something that feeds off my pain
So I wrote them this album
These lyrics the only thing keeping me sane
Yeah I know I couldn't do it without them
I've got stuff that I'll take to the grave
These secrets are holding me ransom
But I'm taking it all to the stage
Turn the page, welcome to chapter one
The whole rap game expired prematurely
I was sent here to deliver it to you securely
Thankful in advance that you deem me worthy
Got a firm grasp, tryna get my fingers dirty
And when I do, I ain't gonna show no mercy
I know my lines suck
Don't need to reassure me
But what you spit is dry
And I'm getting thirsty
Sleep on that, you don't wake up this early
I'm rapping in triplets cause
This is what sells, right?
Too bad the illest is good
To the sell by date
But the standard will evolve once
I found my place
You're gonna remember my name
Dead Silent, straight out the insane asylum
Trying to restrain the violence
I'm my therapist's favorite client
This is where I let the pain reside
I take pride knowing this is
Where I paint my mind
They want something that feeds off my pain
So I wrote them this album
These lyrics the only thing keeping me sane
Yeah I know I couldn't do it without them
I've got stuff that I'll take to the grave
These secrets are holding me ransom
But I'm taking it all to the stage
Turn the page, turn the page
They want something that feeds off my pain
So I wrote them this album
These lyrics the only thing keeping me sane
Yeah I know I couldn't do it without them
I've got stuff that I'll take to the grave
These secrets are holding me ransom
But I'm taking it all to the stage
Turn the page, turn the page
Welcome to chapter one
Where fake friends are only half the fun
Some only wanna smash a
Bottle and get plastered
Some are only fast to judge
Ride or die, but never strapped in front
Jack of all trades, but only mastered one
Can't take it all at once?
You got fragile lungs
Thinking I'll start a career?
Homie you're high
Go ahead and pass the blunt
My personal life is now
Open to interpretation
My problems are now a public conversation
No standing ovation? Nah
Isolation got me feeling lost
Open to no one but my pen and paper
They never complain when I don't respond
Out in the open, no feeling is greater
Than symptoms the public will glaze across
This and that’s always the key
But key to what?
Success? Then go ahead, lead the way
Your shoes don’t look that beaten up
Defeating the purpose
The point you were trying to make
Don’t dig what I’m doing? Dig
Holes in between us
Six feet in the ground, then take a step
God if you’re there
You’re making me nervous waiting
For what’s coming next
They want something that feeds off my pain
So I wrote them this album
These lyrics the only thing keeping me sane
Yeah I know I couldn't do it without them
I've got stuff that I'll take to the grave
These secrets are holding me ransom
But I'm taking it all to the stage
Turn the page, turn the page
They want something that feeds off my pain
So I wrote them this album
These lyrics the only thing keeping me sane
Yeah I know I couldn't do it without them
We've all got stuff that we
Take to the grave
These secrets are holding us ransom
But we're taking it all to the stage
