A Motley Portrait (The Depression)

The pictures that I paint ain't made for canvas nigga
So watch me open up my soul
Expose my insecurities
The darkest depths of hell I thought were out of reach
Hard to sleep knowin' that I got the devil next to me
Carefully
Flirted with sobriety
Them percocets be callin' still
Depression had me isolated
Hide behind a fuckin' smile
Look me in my eye
You'll see a man that had the urge to die
Pressure go to buildin' up
Jesus what you want from me?
I put this shit on everything
These niggas don't feel my fuckin' pain
They took my love and flushed it
Just broke my heart like fuck it
Forgettin' everything that I done did for you
Let's keep it true
Imagine what that Karma finna do to you
So I don't really care about your state of mind
Miss me with that selfish shit
I was on my dick
I ain't see you try to save me
My partner Gam just lost his mama to cancer
Man it's crazy
My uncle got that same issue
Why these devils tryin' to break us?

Oh Lord come and save my soul
I got to the point where I ain't wanna live no more
I got a body full of fire and my heart so cold
Hold my hand and take the wheel
Hold my hand and take the wheel Lord

Depression is the worst
It hit you unexpected
Because everything be goin' right and then you change direction
Swallowin' the pity and my ego
Come face to face with that evil
It's a shame you tote a pistol to socialize with your people
How that sickness started
You empty a cartridge at a target who
Shares the same skin as you
Ain't no way you supposed to hate
Life is like a race
Could leave a foul taste
Gotta fight them crackers and these niggas who wanna take you place
All these niggas jealous
Ruffled feathers
Was supposed to get it together
Hustle through whatever
Prayin' the children will make us better
How they player hatin'
Pillow talkin' stealin' ideas
You give an inch
They take a mile and swear they keepin' it real
Play your position in the trenches
Instead of hoppin' fences
The attribute of loyalty is what these niggas missin'
God forgive them
In search of healin' while they scream for vengeance
A freedom fighter
You hear it

Oh Lord come and save my soul
I got to the point where I ain't wanna live no more
I got a body full of fire and my heart so cold
Hold my hand and take the wheel
Hold my hand and take the wheel Lord
