The Man Wants Me Dead - Byther Smith

I've been crooked But I ain't no crook I've been lookin' But it don't look good I've been fighting with myself For way too long Wasted so much time on the thought I was too far gone Been draggin' myself through mud I fucked it up I've been way too, way too I've been so caught up I've been wasted on my problems And my past I don't need no one's advice I did not ask All I need is time It wants me dead All I need is time It wants me dead It wants me dead It wants me dead It wants me dead It wants me dead I got all caught up like I do I went all-in, nothin' new I throw pennies in wells, what the hell? I've got wishes like everyone else I've got demons, demons I fight I've got reasons, reasons I might Life is precious, deadly I do I've been runnin', I've been runnin' on fumes Takin' my time with time Can't fuck this up (can't fuck this up) I got my friends, they all got heart They're full of love (they're full of love) Say it with your chest So don't you dare say shit at all (say shit at all) We all need friends, I got your back I'll catch your fall (I'll catch your fall) Don't you feel it too? It wants me dead There's always been an existential dread that lives rent-free Inside my head ain't got me yet! (Ain't got me yet!) Did you think that I was running? I cross my heart and close my eyes There's a million ways to die (Ain't got me yet!) Ain't got me yet! All I need is time It wants me dead All I need is time It wants me dead It wants me dead It wants me dead It wants me dead It wants me dead I've been crooked But I ain't no crook I've been lookin' But it don't look good I've been fighting with myself For way too long Wasted so much time on the thought I was too far gone

Waking up and I'm leaning, always up to no good, But my better half got some juice, being a king in my blood. All my niggas say hey, hey, yo look, tha's what's-his-face with your girl. I'm like who, what, where, when, how? Why that nigga? Well, get whooped. Not a fuck to give, not one, nigga. Run, I got no gun But I will get physical, real pitiful, high-fives on the po-poe's interviews. Like shit, I kicked this ass, hit the dash, rip it fast, club hopping, Christmas shopping, Popping sannies in a coffin. Well coffin, not belong and I emptied up my fucking funs, For the day I switched to kids just for giggles, ha, ha, shit. What a gun got caught back, run that, don't fuck with a nigga when he wake up, I'm my own damn cop like Jacob, fuck this food, I hate my waiter. But I made a sweet as long, hate this song, hit this bong, Getting ripped and open up, take a bit of this and fuck your drugs, But I made us wait this long, hate this song, hit this bong, Getting ripped and open up, take a bit of this and fuck your drugs. Dinner on a movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy off these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I get used a lot Dinner on a movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy off these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I get used a lot. Man, I swear sometimes I feel like I'm just crazy rapping, foolish talking nonsense up my ass And no one pressure me to do it. I was told to pay attention, freestyle and chase the money, Well, that combo doesn't matter when you're up and always raining. I had dreams of talking shit, whipping ass with twenty dollars, If it means I coexist with shitty deals and plenty office, If this office is in John Carter's, I don't think it matters, 'Cause I step into the building like I own it, why you laughing? I was gasing up my fuel, the coolest kids don't play my shit, boy, And Mikey rocks this cop to lose it up, will come up, good boy. 'Cause niggas out in Paris don't go turkey when they hit us, A thanks for giving hope to everything that we believe in, I just seen enough in Edinburgh, who met a fucking goddess, If you're honest you know as long is out Jesus fucking started. And if Moses parted seas I believe he needs a holyday, So fuck Santa Clause, food for thought, eat your heart away. Then, there, on the movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy out these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I got used a lot. Then, there, on the movie set, fucking in your trailer, You got trippy out these fucking drugs, guess I'll be your savior. You should feed me when you need me, baby, food for thought, It's the last time you gonna use me, I got used a lot.

Where did your fate go? Was I just to fall on my own? If this room was full of lies Is that how you fooled me with love? I see how you changed me, I know what you said It don't make me hate you, I wish that it did I'm, I'm trying to find words, trying to make sense If I don't try, where do I find the lies between the lines? Why does it hurt so much? Won't understand, no, I can't let this go Oh, you made plans now, you can't shut me down Ah, you're advanced, but you can't tell them now No, you can't tell them how You face the pain while your days are numbered You took the highway, you've done it always You hurt this woman, you put your needs first And I've heard this many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it got So much for you're my one and only You'd say that you were all mine You knew that your words were hard to stand by I was scared of change, but then I complied even though it hurt I stayed and now I'm glad you have it all But there's things that you can't buy Glad that you said sorry, but habits they die hard Why, you want to offer me love that you don't have? Loving you exhausted me, baby, and you charged, you charged I'll take the high road, I've done it always Our time is old, there's only one way You hurt this woman, you put your needs first It's played out many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it goes So much for you're my one and only (You had all of this) (Oh, you still search for bad) So much for you're my one and only (You fought all of this) (You don't even know how bad it got) So much for you're my one and only I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that
