Vernon Harris & Nkosi Kamal - Drown Me

Can't come out the water, leave me lost, let me lay down
Pain can only swallow with a pill, let the soul drown
I don't wanna feel, I'm at odds with the world round
Drown me
Don't tell me how I'm sounding, the sad clown
Lay me down to sleep, not a peep, leave me dreaming
I don't wanna wake, sleep walking when I tread ground
None of what I gave has a meaning, down to my wits
And I'm slowly losing grip, here's what I found
Like what's it all worth anyway, if it not a sniff or a smoke
Inject your escape or breath it in, take a tote
No more rainy days, I'm in the shade, skin is gold
Walking on clouds, hovering, let me float
I don't know
I wanna die, I'm letting go
Hell's inside, one taste of heaven will let it all unfold then we'll know
What it is, what I want, still a kid, screaming curses at god, hoping he hears
Fears came fruition since started spitting
Fiction of success keep you drifting, no way to fix it, we ignorant
Strolling down this path for riches, the mind's missing, and the heart's blind
Toeing the line of heads splitting
It's hard to find silver linings in all the tension
Perfect picture of perdition, I scream in vain then I'm slitting
My wrist, shit, maybe, this what god meant
Birthing such a failure, what I tell you, let it all vent, I said
Can't come out the water, leave me lost, let me lay down
Pain can only swallow with a pill, let the soul drown
I don't wanna feel, I'm at odds with the world round
Drown me
Don't tell me how I'm sounding, the sad clown
Lay me down to sleep, not a peep, leave me dreaming
I don't wanna wake, sleep walking when I tread ground
None of what I gave has a meaning, down to my wits
And I'm slowly losing grip, here's what I found
Breathe!
I don't breathe, my momma said, breathe!
I don't breathe, my momma said, breathe!
I don't breathe, my momma said, breath! I don't breathe, I sleep, I turn to dreams, just-
Breathe!
I don't breathe, my momma said, breathe!
I don't breathe, my momma said, breathe!
I don't breathe, my momma said, breathe! I don't breathe, I sleep, I turn to dreams, I-
I ain't get one chance, I ain't get one chance in hell
I've always been dead since like 9, 10
I failed long before I walked in to this world we all said was the answer
Financial health but it's soul cancer that'll eat slow till the heart vanish
There's no way back home, I'm just alone, all alone
Our thinking all wrong, they told us be strong
Take hold, get back in control, but the system kills those-
In that mode, follow code or the trigger blows either from you or a bad soul
Nothing is alright!
Shit ain't alright, nah, nah
My life ain't alright, life ain't alright, nah, nah
They made that kid die, made mom kid die, all gone
I walk a thin line, just losing my mind, oh shit, yo, it went left
All just went left, bad steps I took and found death, I gave it my best
Not enough and now my soul bled and I just feel vexed
Against the world, all because I chose the wrong girl
Took me for a whirl so I hate the world yo
Can't come out the-out the water
Lay me down bruh, I'm stuck and I falter on this path of gaining touch
Leave me slaughtered, no tomorrow, I can't borrow no time, it's hell I follow
I-
Can't come-can't come out the water, let me fly up, I'm done
I'm in sorrow, I don't want much, just blood that I swallow and choke on
I'm home, angels tell me to follow, I said
