I'm Gone - Ruff Neck HiFi, Small Axe & Mmaps Athletics

I lay you down Heavy is your crown When it comes, the light of day I'll find another place to play Thought we'd live on like a song But the words were lying, the music's wrong Yeah, so I'm gone It breaks me down When it comes, the light of day I'll find another place to play Thought we'd live on like a song But the words were lying, the music's wrong Yeah, so I'm gone When it comes, the light of day I'll find another place to play Thought we'd live on like a song But the words were lying, the music's wrong Yeah So I'm gone

EURYDICE Orpheus, my heart is yours Always was and will be It's my gut I can't ignore Orpheus, I'm hungry Oh, my heart, it aches to stay But the flesh will have its way Oh, the way is dark and long I'm already gone I'm gone FATES Go ahead and lay the blame Talk of virtue, talk of sin Wouldn't you have done the same? In her shoes, in her skin You can have your principles When you've got a bellyful But hunger has a way with you There's no telling what you're gonna do When the chips are down Now that the chips are down What you gonna do when the chips are down? Now that the chips are down

Yeah Yeah, everyday's a battle The pressure's getting the best of me Swear I wanna quit but I gotta give what is left in me Constant criticism, I'm never letting it get to me I am tunnel vision until I get what is meant for me In the studio late nights, I'm building a legacy Making timeless music so everybody remembers me When I'm by myself I reflect on all of my memories Then I rap about it 'cause music's my only remedy My ex was a mess and I should of left and been done with it I knew that she was damaged as fuck but I still stuck with it Covert narcissist, I dealt with the trauma that comes with it Thought that I could save her 'til I lost myself because of it She has hella demons and she continues to run from it She'll repeat the toxic cycle again 'til she's numb to it I can expose her but it's not even worth discussion it Her being her's already the greatest punishment Fuck seeking revenge, I'm too busy tryna chart I'm tryna place on Billboard and walk around with the stars Wanna reach accolades that clearly set us apart To the point where she hears my song when she's out drunk at a bar And reality hits her hard, then her man ask her, "What's wrong?" And now she's silent, then she starts smiling, tryna play it off 'Cause in that split second she starts to realize who she truly lost All our memories gone, you're why we are where we are Feel like this is it, it is what it is The bigger I get, the more cautious of who I'm with So I always stick by my lonely just hoping that I don't slip They wanna see you win, just not doing better then them And people like that lose, yo, I love it I'm slowly admiring the person who I'm becoming The climb doesn't end so I'm not focusing on the summit I'm focused on the journey, there's not to many who done it And fuck this industry, you rappers are talking L's Tryna hold me to standards that you don't hold for yourselves Authenticity sells, your numbers aren't doing well Your stories are fairytale, the fans can easily tell Bosses couldn't see where my head was at back in the days When I was employed and slavin' for minimum wage Pushin' carts at Walmart and I would write on my breaks Always scarified time 'cause I always knew what it takes Now my house is the bachelor's house with all the girls who visit I fuck 'em but never love 'em because I am back on my business Knowing I'm dying for love but I'm so afraid of commitment 'Cause when it comes to love I get hurt whenever I give it I'm used to people bouncin', dipping out and then leaving me Just to come back and see I replace them immediately I was tryna find who I need when really I needed me I need to be alone, I'm realizing that's how it needs to be, I'm gone Yeah, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone Please don't chase me (Please don't chase me) (I'm gone, I'm gone)
