God knows my intention, I sin for the sake of progress,

Got a big heart when it comes to my family (you are now listening to Young Chencs),

But in the streets my heart is the coldest,

My personal life ain't right but I'm putting this first so I won't lose focus,

'Member I needed a helping hand, reached out and I got cold shoulders,

They already know I can rap, the mandem trap, I can do that too,

I-I picked up the phone, I heard some terrible news that'll ruin your mood,

They made some change and forgot their roots,

I made some change and picked up the young Gs,

Took them shoppin' and copped them shoes,

This hoe forgot she got fucked,

You need a reminder you're not brand new,

I should've kicked that one to the curb,

There and then, but I'm not that rude,

Had-had some hoes back when I was broke,

They wanna come home, but I got no room,

So many years I slept on the sofa,

They don't know the half, they got no clue,

Huh? Said I was a one hit wonder,

I took that shot and I followed it through,

Don't worry 'bout hollerin' chicks,

Get rich, they'll switch and holla at you,

Sat in the trap, turned one into two,

But that ain't what I wanted to do,

The fame get a bit too much sometimes,

Fan-page tryna follow the goons,

Fan-page tryna follow my pups,

The fans love me and I love them too,

'Cause Cench ain't better than none,

La-last time I let that slide,

But this time I ain't gonna let that run,

They made, they made a diss track,

That shit was too whack to get a response, huh,

It's sad 'cause I love my hood where I'm from,

But that place ain't where I belong,

Clean up the scene, I don't need no mop,

Pull up your jeans, all I need is slops,

Don't believe in greed, I don't need a lot,

Let my Gs all eat off the cream on top,

Remember the floor went peelin' off and damp all over the ceilin',

We trap for a positive reason,

All 'cause the rap weren't bringin' no Ps in,

God knows my intention, I sin for the sake of progress,

Got a big heart when it comes to my family,

But in the streets, my heart is the coldest,

My personal life ain't right but I'm putting this first so I won't lose
focus,

'Member I needed a helping hand, reached out and I got cold shoulders,

I stay tryna better my life, but I got pain that I can't get off my mind,

I can't get rid of my demons, all of my feelings, I kept inside,

I'd never sell my soul or switch on bro in desperate times,

My angel there on my shoulder tellin' me, "No",

I'm bipolar, no Jekyll and Hyde,

I gotta think twice what come out my mouth these days 'cause I know I got a voice,

I'm the head of my family now, I gotta get in my bag, I got no choice,

I'm bait, I gotta roll safe, there's a few places that I'd rather avoid,

I made it, I might have a baby, I don't mind a daughter, I'd rather a boy,

Bro-bro could've went pro in the field, but he broke his Achilles heel,

The other, the other day it was free K-Trap, not the one from Gipsy Hill,

Fuck a eighty-twenty, I told them, "Send me a 50/50 deal",

From Bush to Beverly Hills,

I'm lookin' at bro like "Look at the shit we've built",

O-OT, I seen a man smoke crack on a Red Bull can,

I'm throwin' my Ws up like Wu-Tang Clan, I'm a method man,

Ask my mum what I'm like, she'll say that I'm selfless and I give back,

If you ask my ex what I'm like, she'll say I'm a narcissist and a sociopath,

(Came a long way) came a long way, still got a very long way to go,

Just a yute, I was confused when I saw my family takin' coke,

'Cause I understand it now that I'm grown,

Real trap boy, I don't play with my nose,

Just the way that it goes,

I can't judge them when it made me dough,

God knows my intention, I sin for the sake of progress,

Got a big heart when it comes to my family,

But in the streets, my heart is the coldest,

My personal life ain't right but I'm putting this first so I won't lose focus,

I don't think I'll ever feel as happy as I did back then.
Addictions addictions addictions.
I don' think I'll ever feel like I used to.
I've been going backwards ever since.. I don't even remember.
I have never. Felt. This. Shit.
I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna suffer anymore.
I can't.
Is it really this much to ask, for me to be loved?

I don't know how I got this far without you.
I miss you more than anything.

I don't know what to do without you,

I don't know where to put my hands,

I've been trying to lay my head down,

But I'm writing this at three AM.


I don't need the world to see,

That I've been the best I can be, but,

I don't think I could stand to be,

Where you don't see me.


On sunny days I go out walking,

I end up on a tree-lined street,

I look up at the gaps of sunlight,

I miss you more than anything.

I don't need the world to see,

That I've been the best I can be, but,

I don't think I could stand to be,

Where you don't see me.

And autumn comes when you're not yet done,

With the summer passing by, but,

I don't think I could stand to be,

Where you don't see me.

The day after I learned you were gone, I went straight to school. Every teacher knew what had happened so I guess I was under a lot of surveillance.
I remember sitting in front of this canteen table, all of the lights being off because the whole room is empty. I remember the whirring sound of those dish-washing machines just drilling into my ears.
The cook just put some food on my plate and I was told to eat.
I remember not being able to put anything in my mouth. The thought, the smell, everything about that plate of meatballs disgusted me.
I stared at my plate while this lady was telling me I have to eat at LEAST one, then she would let me go to class.
I didn't have any kind of appetite for anything. And the thought of the school day being over and knowing you wouldn't be there to pick me up anymore, ever, was harder to handle than the thought of swallowing that one fucking meatball.
I took half a bite. Didn't swallow. She told me I could go, and while carrying my tray away I spat it out on the plate. Burnt as shit.
I can't recall anything else.
I can't recall some years.

I never would have thought that the only thing left of you would be a gravestone and a necklace.
I was never prepared to face this earth and be forced to forget your voice.
I was never prepared to grow up.
Within a chain reaction of events I am now more lost than I was the day I lost you.

Because almost ten years ago I promised I'd never plan ahead.
The most I ever got to was fifteen.
But the realization never hit until I turned 16.
Ever since that day I have been utterly lost. I have stood with a knife to my stomach trying to gather the courage to stab it through me so I could finally rest.
And all it took for me to drop the knife was my phone going off.
In that moment I was thinking perfectly. And I would be lying if I said those thoughts changed at some point.
Looking back at it, it wasn't even me snapping out of the thought.
It was just curiosity. What if something happened to my friend? Is she okay? She wouldn't be able to handle my death. My mom wouldn't.
And at that moment I realized I have to live for other peoples sake. Not for my own.

And even after all those years nothing has changed.
It's a never-ending dilemma of wanting to stay because I'm carrying something heavier than my own life. I'm carrying other lives as well.
But at the same time, I can't do this. I don't want to carry this. I am so. Exhausted. Drained. I am worn out.
But I have to be here. I have the obligation.
The responsibility.
I have to carry this.
And I can't even talk about this.

I can't take this.
I just want to scream.
I'm so sorry but I can't handle myself alone.
I'm so sorry but I need someones support.
I need comforting.
Because I never got that from anyone.
I've had to grow up thinking these feelings were wrong and,
I shouldn't show them to anyone.
My feelings are a burden.
For once I would like to believe my feelings matter.
And that I'm not being annoying or a burden by crying.
I'm sorry.
I don't know who I'm apologizing to.

I don't want to open up.
I feel like whenever I talk about how I truly feel,
I drive everyone around me away.
I feel like it's a line in the sand for people.
I feel like people can't handle me.
That I'm too much.
I don't want to cry alone though.
I don't want to be alone.
Please someone.

I had to learn about anxiety at age 8.
I had to learn about depression at age 8.
I had to learn about death at age 8.
I had to try to understand the concept of suicide, at age 8.
I had to learn to keep myself alive, fed, at age 8.
I had to learn to live without support, at age 8.
I had to wonder if my own mother hated me, at age 8.
I had to wonder if it should have been me instead.
I can't keep myself together.
I am barely alive.
