(Verse 1) It's not what you know or who you know It's finding that one thing in life that makes it seem beautiful I'm feeling far from the usual You would see it to if you could look into my soul In a snapback, chuck t's, dickies, with a flannel It's Kools over Camels I'm at the front of the rotation with the Phillies, I ain't Hamels I "And 1" handle the work and smoke purp from the dirt Out the greatest city ever on this earth I just (skirtttt!) down the street,now I'm headed for home I gotta mind to go along with all the flesh on my bones Which has nothing better to do besides being alone So put a pillow in my coffin, show the king to his throne I force myself into a zone where I can hear or see nothing Except the shadows on the wall and the sound of their feet coming I've been fighting off these demons My life has run out of reasons but at least it has a meaning, yeah (Hook) To defy the odds of the words on the tip of your tongue I ain't driving home tonight, girl, I think I'm bout to sip a lil' some Would you love me if I wasn't who I am now? I gotta lot on my mind, I think I'm losing it now (Verse 2) I'm sipping Remy Red with this bitch I barely met We rolling up paper jets till it's time to go to bed But right before we do I might get her a little wet Talk myself off of the ledge, sometimes I wish I was dead Shit, I guess I'll live instead popping Xannies for my stress Yes, there's plenty people out there still considering me blessed So until my last breath I'm a give it all I can Boy, these girls meet me once and understand that I'm the man From the land of the South Bay, blunt in my mouth Hey, me and my team going hard, you get outplayed I know that sun is shining bright when them clouds fade My name is Taylor James, and I'm from LA
