I'm tired of nobody listening
Purchasing, asking about privilege
Everyone is in the business
Tell me for money, they'll do this and this
I'm tired of paying for everything
Drinking all night, not remembering
My parents, my nephew, my sisters
My girlfriend, my dogs, my house, I'm neglecting
I won't miss those sleepless nights
Pointless fights, five hour drives
Dead at the bar by eight for a eight hour night
I'm pumping in poisons to keep me alive
Dealing with janky promoters
Underpaid sound guys and grumpy bartenders
Hidden hotel fees, sleeping in vans
That shit I don't want to remember
This game done changed
It's more about selfies than dealing with pain
It's no longer about helping, all about fame
Said the game done changed
I'm sick and depressed, I'm sick of myself
This music is stress, the drinking, the drugs and the sex
It's all disrespect
I can't even look in the mirror
I say f*ck this shit
Said I ain't gonna miss it
I ain't gonna call and I ain't gonna visit
I ain't gonna look back
It's been fifteen years
That I wish that I could've took back
It's years with my family, years with my best friend Matt
He died, we never made amends
Those years have been wasted, years have been spent
Can't never go back again
It's either you or the game
One of you can't stay the same
Our old ways will not remain
Said oh my god, what's this fame
It's either you or the game
One of you can't stay the same
Our old ways will not remain
Said oh my god, what's this fame
What's this fame, what's this fame
All that I had was this mic and this pain
Pen and a page and a life in the rain
When would it change at the end of my days
My venom just stayed, the sights in my veins
Hired the fire to light up the flame
I had aspired to hype and the fame
Hired the tiger with stripes in the game
Higher the higher the heights it became
Clashing with titans when lightning came
My passion for writing struck twice in the same
Spot, I'm getting hot, others are not
Papers are writing my name
But shit can get trife in this lane
Cats they would like to get slain
Flushed my life right in the drain
But f*ck em cause I got a rifle to bang
So when you're emerging, take that pain then
Just turn it to purpose
And you take that same fear and purge it
Keep burning the surface
Cause it gets berserk in the circus
Watching friends turn into serpents
Chewing up percocets with your dog
Falling in aught on the furniture
Worthless calling it
God I'm at the end of my rope
All that dough and I spend it on coke
Resentments and beef and impendence
And jokes and bitches and look it I ended up broke
This may be the end of us both
But there's two tickets at the will call
The game don't change just a fighters
And it's my time so I'll still brawl
It's either you or the game One of you can't stay the same
Our old ways will not remain
Oh my God
One of you can't stay the same
Our old ways will not remain
Oh my God
What's this pain, what's this pain What's this pain, what's this pain
