[CHORUS]
Life so foul, let’s play house

[VERSE 1]
This shit can get really wild, really wild
This shit can get really wild
This shit can get really wild, everybody defiled
Everybody defiled

A chest feeling wound as tight as a drum
Assess meaning by fight or flight that you can find when he comes
Arrested development propels your fist to the gun
The bell tolls for no one, there no hope where we're from
A chest feeling wound tight as a drum
If you've got a fear, you'd drown it in rum
If you've got a fear, you'd drown it in-

[VERSE 2]
No wonder I’m stressed
Remember when [CENSORED] leaked my address to the press and got mad I was pressed?
I can’t hold a gun but I need me a vest
You told me I’m needy at best and that you don’t need me to rest, why can’t I remember we’re blessed?
My head is a mess
I know you don’t know me the best, but can’t we please talk about the vest?

I don’t wanna talk no more.

[VERSE 3]
You think that you safe?
Watch how fast niggas come in your place,
Tryna cum on your face
Greedy niggas tryna steal all our things
And I know that we ain't toting them things
This is all we got
There isn't a plan B
I know you can't stand me
You think I'm demanding
You think that I think I'm the man
Tell me what that means
When everyone's a threat to me i think that you're capping
But this all we've got
I know it's not a lot but it's all that we got
A chest feeling wound tight as a knot
You think that we're safe but I know that we're not
I done seen how these niggas get shot
Its never you till you up and get caught
And if I'm the nigga that let the nigga that murdered his sister in the house, then Imma be the damn fool with no sister
But now I'm the damn fool that got you pissed, I swear its no winning with this
A chest feeling getting heavy as sin
But there's a reason that I'm feeling like this

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 4]
I'm tired of writing tragedy
When I have a panic attack, you people laugh at me
Pretending I'm beyond understanding
I been the only one fighting my battles
I been the only one that’s taking care of me
I done seen too many things that’s been harrowing
Murder and heroin, rape happens everywhere
My entire life, motherfuckers been pushing my boundaries
This is the place I’ve got
This is the only place that I think I won’t got shot
A chest feeling wound tight as a knot
Please get these niggas right out of my house
I haven’t slept for bout 40 hours
Call me what you want, I know I’m a coward
But I’m a survivor, I’ve spent my life just desperately clinging to life
You’d be surprised what a person can do with a knife, or what they can do when they’re white
Or what they can do when they think they’re fighting for their life
25 straight hours of adrenaline, I could kill him with my bare hands
Before he kills you, it’s a grand stand
I think I wanna hurt somebody, I could kill a man

I feel so sick today
I think I wanna hurt somebody.

Don’t fucking touch me.

[OUTRO]
Katie’s dragging me to therapy
They say I need help
But I don’t think there’s helping me.
