KING 810, Freddie Gibbs - Tied To The Whipping Post lyrics

"I feel like I'm dying"

I sit alone in this four cornered room
Houses are graves for the living let
This dope spot be my tomb
You can have my soul I don't
Need it where I'm going
You can't look me in my face
When my scars are showing
I can't sweat through these scars
I can't feel the wind blow
You never get used to not feeling you
Just know you’re not like them so
I feel like every friend I would
Die for has died for me
And I'm left here alone lost
Walking in the streets
And I've seen women deteriorate and
Men do the same
Before I knew it I had changed and
I ain't goin back there again
Things are moving so fast
For what it's worth I apologize I've
Spilled blood on God's earth father please
Forgive me I was born in a city where
If you wanna be somebody
You gotta kill somebody, and claim the body
Father please
Forgive me I was born in a city where
If you wanna be somebody
You gotta kill somebody, and claim the body

"I feel like I’m dying"

Half the time I'm high
Half an ounce every half a day
Smoke half of my mind ambition and time away
Wonder if I'm gonna find my place with
God I lay down I pray
Daddy was a motherfuckin lie when the
Nigga said that crime don't pay
The police know my fuckin face
Just raided tore up my place
My bitch stay faded on coke and pills
I don't really trust shit she say
Can't trust my homies either might kill
Me for a piece of weight
Heard they been checkin my connections I'm
Gonna have to go see Jose
I heard you put them keys away
To the side for me, got the pies for me
Got a cold young nigga that’ll ride for me
I wrap a brick and he dry it for me
I gotta get to work he do kitchen work
So just cook it up and let it dry for me
Gave a bitch a block she just sniffed
A lot and it's fire for me gon die for me
God damn

"I feel like I’m dying"

Artistic bravery they say to get
It you gotta risk it
I risked my life everyday why wouldn't
I risk this petty shit? Huh?
Don’t make me take aim again
I miss my dead friends, but I don't miss men
So when my gun raises up
Remember mamma couldn’t raise me so
You’ll be a dead fuck and pardon it
The man with the skin with
All the scars in it
My soul, my city's hardened it
My heart I don't know where it went
All I know if there's a war in my head
My eyes don't close when I lay in my bed
Wish I could give my sister
All the strength I
Posses and let the heroin kill me instead
You see my grandmother was murdered
My mother used her gun
This killing is in my blood it's
Best I don't make a son
I'm in the mirror tryin to find
My father in my face
So I can shoot myself right
In that very place

"I feel like I’m dying"
