Shaft and Willie Sees Green - Backstabbed (feat. Mikayla Hamilton)

I thought we could figure this out
But then you go, and you cut me down

It's funny how y'all left me for dead
I've been stuck in my head, can't get out of my bed
So I'm closer to living my dreams
I know that everything's not what it seems
Overthinking, yeah, that's typical me
They're asking what's wrong, I don't know what they mean
Feels like I'm losing my grip and my hype
I know that nothing happens overnight
Hate being cold, but it feels so right
If you shot me down, I would drip out ice
That's a bar and a half worth, twenty-five to life
Thought about ending it the other night
With hopes of my grandma standing in the light
How could I ever reach the height of my favorites
Without any patience, but more dedication
Than anyone waiting to hop into action
You think you're gonna blow up with all this rapping
Look, I don't know, but we'll see what happens
Can't trust my circle, cause people backstabbing
But growing up is really the assassin
My mouth wired shut from the writers block
Like Kanye's crash, man, this shit's no bluff
Stuck in the past, and I've had enough
Will I ever last, or will I watch my whole world go and collapse

I thought we could figure this out
But then you go, and you cut me down
Remember when you said you'd always be around
Told me that you'd forever hold me down
Guess we'll never figure this out

Back when mom and dad would fight everyday
I thought that shit was normal, what can I say
Each fight getting more worse than the last
Don't want my future to be like my past
Maybe that's why I always sound violent
Coming from a home that felt like a riot
I don't make my music just so you can buy it
I make it so you can feel my lyrics, my spirit, my soul
And there's no telling how far I would go just get to the top
Scared I'll be stuck at the bottom and left here to rot
So I've been switching my plot
Back all hunched from the weight on my shoulders
Really sick of feeling dead when I am sober
Life is a high with no way of closure
You wanted the real, now the wait is over
And I've been to hell and back one too many times
One too many friends, told too many lies
And it took too long for me to realize
That they were never really on my side
And I hate that cause I loved them
But I guess now it's fuck them
Can't wake them up, they sleeping
They need me, I don't need them

I thought we could figure this out
But then you go and you cut me down
Remember when you said you'd always be around
Told me that you'd forever hold me down
Guess we'll never figure this out
