By the Rope
Hanging by the Rope: Battling Demons, Seeking Change
Lyrics
Sitting on my fucking phone and sick of feeling fucking low
Sitting on the phone, feeling overwhelmed and unhappy
Feeling like I'm out of town but really I'm just sat at home
Sensing a disconnection even when physically present at home
Smoking by the pound, my house is smelling like a grow
Engaging in heavy marijuana use, creating a potent smell in the house
Sippin' till I drown, hoping I don't overdose
Drinking excessively, expressing a fear of overdosing
Feeling I got no one close, walking round like a ghost
Feeling isolated, comparing oneself to a ghost
So I'm getting high until I die to try and kill the lows
Using substances to cope with emotional pain and depression
Barely get by, my life is hanging by the rope
Struggling in life, hanging on the edge, possibly suicidal thoughts
RM6 till I die, I've got it tattooed on my throat
Commitment to a particular area code (RM6) until death, symbolized by a throat tattoo
Grinding all night, writing rhymes, chasing pinky notes
Working hard throughout the night, pursuing success in music
Always doing map, dressed in black, moving like a crow
Engaged in illegal activities, dressed in black, moving discreetly
So my brudda's make a trip to the trap like some billy goats
Friends making trips to sell drugs, reminiscent of billy goats on a journey
Growing up on road with no coat in the freezing snow
Growing up in challenging conditions without proper clothing
Praying to a telephone, hoping that ya' belly grow
Desperation and hope expressed in prayers for prosperity
Sick of feeling fucking broke and sick of feeling fucking low
Frustration with poverty and a desire for change
Hoping one day I make a change, then I make a home
Aspiring to make a positive change and establish a stable home
Grinding through the rain and snow so empty pockets gotta grow
Persisting through challenges to improve financial circumstances
Auto pilot like a drone, climbing up a slippy slope
Operating on autopilot, facing uphill struggles
Countless nights I've had to go, feeling like I'm on my own
Experiencing loneliness and a sense of independence
Taking drugs to numb the pain, hoping I can let it go
Using drugs to escape emotional pain
Thinking till I go insane cos I'm from the dirt and need to grow
Reflecting on a difficult past, acknowledging the need for personal growth
Cos time after time, the people change so let em' go
Accepting the inevitability of people changing and letting them go
My ash is white, I hold tight, never seem to fucking fold
Symbolizing resilience with white ash and determination not to fold
So till I'm in the sky, I get high to try and mend the soul
Using substances to cope with emotional pain and seeking solace
Barely get by, my life is hanging by the rope
Reiteration of life's difficulties and the precariousness of the situation
Barely get by, my life is Hanging by the rope
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle and the vulnerability of life
Praying to the sky, hoping I don't overdose
Expressing a plea for survival, hoping to avoid a fatal overdose
