  • The thoughts all cloudy
    In the marijuana sky, but it started raining molly
    It got me feeling sorry while I'm feeling on myself
    Cause I don't know this bitch name but I'm feeling on her breast
    I know it ain't right, but in this state I don't care
    A whole week done went past, I don't go nowhere
    Hotel rooms crushing pills and menus
    Daughter sending me messages saying "Daddy, I miss you"
    But in this condition I don't think she need to see me
    Ain't slept in four days, and I'm smelling like seaweed
    Problems in my past haunt my future and the present
    Escaping from reality got me missing my blessings
    Sent a couple G's but that make it no better
    And now I got habits that ain't getting no better
    And it ain't that easy trying to get all together
    Been stressing so long think depression done settled

    It's time for me to clean it up
    I came too far to fuck it up like
    It's time for me to clean it up
    I came too far to fuck it up like

    Pops left mom when I was only 18
    So rightfully that meant I had to be the man of things
    And by 28, mom was damn near homeless
    And now I'm 31 she 'bout to fucking cop her own shit
    Triple beam dreams brought me nothing but nightmares
    Thought that I was helping but the system don't fight fair
    Cases had me locked up, mama always wrote me
    Pops my only visit, they the only ones that loved me
    That's why I feel bad, popping Givenchy tags
    Knowing that this tee could feed my nephew for a week
    For material I'm weak, acting like I don't care
    I spend it all on clothes, then something is wrong there
    I sent my mom some G's, but that makes it no better
    Cause now I got habits that ain't getting no better
    And it ain't that easy trying to get all together
    Been stressing so long think depression done settled

    It's time for me to clean it up
    I came too far to fuck it up like
    It's time for me to clean it up
    I came too far to fuck it up like Writer/s: DANIEL SEWELL, PAUL WHITE
