Skull Kid
[Chorus]
Look at all the pain that the road did
Never was the same after show biz
Did a nigga change? Yeah I sho’ did
But so did everybody I was close with
I guess that’s the result when you go big
Before you really know what self control is
No family, no fans, no friends
All alone on my own, call me Skull Kid
Skull Kid, Skull Kid, Skull Kid
All alone on my own, call me Skull Kid
Skull Kid, Skull Kid, Skull Kid
[Verse 1]
These days hangin’ out ain't my cup of tea
It’s like my best company is a fuckin’ beat
God told me in a dream not to be ashamed
I was born alone so I’ll come how I came
A lot of people claim to be there for me
But I don’t trust human beings so I’m seldom seen
I just sit here alone and inhale my weed
Shit it’s been a long time since I felt some peace
I felt the need to leave and seclude myself
But am I safe with me? I abuse my health
And I seem to spend a lot of time inside my head
Dwellin’ on my shortcomings, it's a life of dread
Before I go to sleep kiss my daughter on the cheek
She don’t know her papa has been feelin’ kinda weak
I try to wear a smile, try to hide it underneath
'Cause at the end of the day, I still gotta get the cheese
Feelin’ like my raps are means to a end
My only reason to live bein’ here with my kids
It is what is, and the kids are all that I need
To get by day to day in this life that I lead
It’s like a disease, maybe I’m just antisocial
'Cause I don’t get along with people like I’m supposed to
I'm better off when it’s just me, and no you
Isolation is just one of the things that I go through
[Chorus]
Look at all the pain that the road did
Never was the same after show biz
Did a nigga change? Yeah I sho’ did
But so did everybody I was close with
I guess that’s the result when you go big
Before you really know what self control is
No family, no fans, no friends
All alone on my own, call me Skull Kid
Skull Kid, Skull Kid, Skull Kid
All alone on my own, call me Skull Kid
Skull Kid, Skull Kid, Skull Kid
[Verse 2]
Will you speak at my funeral?
And tell everybody you think I was beautiful?
Or will you no show for the things that I do to you
I lost one friend, didn’t think I would lose a few
And I realized I don’t visit family much
Because I’m too busy focusin’ on rappin’ and such
Ain't seen my aunties or uncs in like thousands of months
'Cause I’m away from everybody livin’ out in the cuts
I wish I could explain the ways I feel
I’m misunderstood to this day for real
Like everythang changed when I gained appeal
All the days I chilled with the gang and illed
But now I’m gettin’ older and its gettin’ more challenging
The reality of mortality
Is makin’ me work hard, it’s bringin’ more out of me
I just wanna leave my daughters a hunnid thousand each
So I’m out of reach, ain't left the house in weeks
Just tryna write it out before I’m pronounced deceased
Before I’m carried to Valhalla by the Valkyries
I vow to be the opposite of what you made me out to be
And when I’m gone, just listen to my tape and smile
Because I’m safe with God, I’m His favorite child
I'm sorry, is it too late to say it now?
Maybe when you get to heaven we can break it down
[Chorus]
Look at all the pain that the road did
Never was the same after show biz
Did a nigga change? Yeah I sho’ did
But so did everybody I was close with
I guess that’s the result when you go big
Before you really know what self control is
No family, no fans, no friends
All alone on my own, call me Skull Kid
Skull Kid, Skull Kid, Skull Kid
All alone on my own, call me Skull Kid
Skull Kid, Skull Kid, Skull Kid
