Everything I did always gave my best I don't know if anybody relates but the feeling I get it's like a truck sitting on my chest Wondering how much do I got left? My last call, my last step I'm not gonna win just to see what's next I go hard cause today could be my last breath We do life and we can't relive it We only get one chance if you blink then you might just miss it Many people come and go, they all just visit Don't ever expect none different Just listen as I pave this image that y'all revisit Yeah my glass half empty but I still might sip it But I was traumatized What would you have said when you was looking in my mama's eyes? Nothing Yeah I might have said that I was okay but I probably lied So this pain is how I harmonize Making an impact that's what I personify Guess I'm making music that you cannot just define by the numbers on my Spotify All of this pain I just wanna be happy Mom almost died the same day that she had me Drove into the hospital she swerved and crashed badly Doctor said I was a miracle while looking at my daddy I was zero when I first dodged death I was six when the devil told me to watch my step Couldn't sleep, I was scared to go inside my bed Fighting demons, I was hearing things inside my head So back to the doctor, he didn't have a diagnosis So my whole damn life I felt lost while fighting psychosis Talking to myself hopping nobody would notice Mom said pray every time I heard the voices Life or death, everyday I swear I made choices Knife in my hand trying not to lose focus Playing basketball religiously to drown out the noise Let me explain that it's like laying on train tracks Grabbing guns contemplating blowing your brain bags Eyes close shut watching everything fade black People stepping over you, you feel like a placemat, fuck And let me make it clear, God is the only one I've ever feared But you start to get paranoid and look over your shoulder When these people have been hurting you for so many years So I had to escape, if you're listening I know that you relate It's that feeling that you get like your life and existence was all just one big mistake I felt trapped and I couldn't find space I went and got lost in the things that I create Ever since I was a kid, people hated and they judged everything that I did So I went into my mind and created the abyss Man I swear I did! How the hell y'all think I make these hits? It's cause I've been broken, beaten, dragged, laughed at, scorned, burned and kicked So I get to reach in this endless pit of hurt and pain from all that shit And that's the only reason that you people come here or for God's sake even know that Dax exists This how it feels to drown, this is how it looks when you lost and you can't be found The abyss was a place I'd visit but I went so much that I'm going and I'm stuck here now This is not music this is not dope This is me begging y'all to throw me a rope So I keep tryna climb up the place that came in my life when I spiraled and first lost hope Let me explain I've been Dax so long I get PTSD when somebody says real name But I guess that's the price you pay I didn't want it to be like this but I guess it is what it is Inside The Abyss
