*Part I*
[Instrumental]
*Part 2*
{Verse 1: Xhef]
Don't ask me where I've been
Tasks thrown to the wind
Askin' kids you good when they born into sin
Cast into the corners where I been residing in
Only partly playing how long we stay in hiding
Finding truth on this side will bring me peace pray to god
Loud around the face with dead silence in the eyes
Not lookin at you but past you to what never happened
Meeting all questions with a nod
Moving to fast
In a coaster of my pride
Smoking with the devil
Left me broke and disheveled
With a rope and a job
In the storm with a rod
No smile on my face just a pawn in the case can't break the facade
[Interlude: Sample]
Standing around telling jokes
Standing around telling jokes
Dreaming of the days that lie ahead
[Verse 2: Xhef]
Tell me where you been
Know you stopped listening
Haven't heard from you since
Back during my christening
That holy water started to feel like spit on my forehead
Constant disrespect might load my feet up with lead
I'm tempted I'm lost
Been lamenting on the cost
Resenting all my friends
Cause empathy is too strong
Know my loss would weigh on some minds for too long
Its all fleeting don't hold one tune for two songs
They respond to the voice when the bodies long gone
Got spirits on my phone when the speaker ain't on
Lately can't communicate my mind in the daytime
My nights sealed silent and I'm thinking in tongues
Ears ringing with fear and joy at the same time
Listen to my demos visualizing my odds being won
When that phone had rung that shit wasn't playtime
Fuck sense make a time where my ops eatin' crumbs
Stains on my mind motivate me smoking dimes
Spend time thinking bout a life with opulent funds
I'm smiling tons, not cause the green all mine
But blue getting blacked with some gold in my mouth and my walls platinum
When you throwing in the towel cause I've already won
And I did it from the south
[Outro}
And I did it from the south
And I did it from the south
