Lyrics
You ever feel like you digging your own grave?
You ever feel like you're leading yourself towards a destructive path?
Cuz you know there's shit that you shouldn't be doing
Aware of engaging in activities that are harmful or wrong.
But you can't get out of your own way?
Feeling trapped and unable to change one's behavior.
Can't even make it a whole day
Struggling to go through a day without indulging in harmful habits.
Without smoking or drinking or some sort of thing
Reliance on substances or behaviors to cope with life.
That you need in your life to feel okay
Dependence on certain things for emotional well-being.
Death guaranteed guess you can't avoid it
Acknowledging the inevitability of death.
Something gon kill us pick your poison
Selecting one's own path to destruction among various options.
Our stories are different but often alike
Individual stories differ but share common struggles.
Ain't here to judge you or offer advice
Not judging, just observing shared pain.
They see that we hurting and offer a vice
Others offer harmful solutions to our pain.
I swear to god since a kid I've been watching my parents
Reflecting on the influence of parental behavior.
Just smoke all these Marlboro lights
Parents smoking despite knowing the consequences.
Knowing this shit's gonna cost them a price
Awareness of the price to be paid for destructive habits.
Aye it's no wonder they coughing at night
Noting the impact of unhealthy choices on health.
Who are we kidding man this is America
Cynical view of societal issues in America.
Give you some pills and a shovel to dig your own grave
Criticizing the system for offering harmful solutions.
When all you needed was a therapist
Suggesting the need for therapeutic help instead of destructive options.
I know they ain't taking care of us
Doubtful about the care provided by society.
Think it's the fact that we know better that's embarrassing
Feeling embarrassed for knowing better but succumbing to vices.
Long as they got us addicted to something
Highlighting the system's strategy of keeping people addicted.
And coming for more really that's imperative
Emphasizing the necessity of continued addiction for those in power.
Digging my own grave could you lift me up
Repeated plea for help and support.
Digging my own grave could you lift me up
-Digging my own grave could you lift me up
-Could you lift me up aye
-Give me something I just wanna to feel more
Desire for something to numb the pain and feel more alive.
They get you to a level where you'd kill for it
Highlighting the extreme lengths people go for their desires.
Every single thing we want that's bad for us
Recognition that what we desire is often harmful.
They go and hang em up on all the billboards
Commercial promotion of harmful desires.
Got a little taste now you get attached to it
Becoming attached to destructive behaviors after trying them.
We all doing shit that we never planned to
Engaging in unplanned actions due to the influence of desires.
I got a homie saying he ain't got no vices
Contrasting stated lack of vices with the reality of unhealthy habits.
But everyday that mother fucker eating fast food
-I got another friend she's depressed now
Describing a friend's struggle with depression and medication.
The Doc gave her medicine to test out
-I'm trying to explain to her stress kills
-But she can't hear me out she too stressed out
-I wanna change before it's too late
Expressing a desire for personal change before it's too late.
I wanna start over fresh and reset and just pack all my shit in a suitcase
Yearning for a fresh start and a new perspective.
Taking my mind to a new place
-You ever feel like you digging your own grave?
Reiteration of the struggle to break free from destructive habits.
Cuz you know there's shit that you shouldn't be doing
-But you can't get out of your own way?
-Can't even make it a whole day
-Without smoking or drinking or some sort of thing
-That you need in your life to feel okay
-Death guaranteed can't avoid it
Acceptance of the inevitability of death.
Something gon kill us pick your poison
Choosing one's own path to destruction, acknowledging consequences.
Digging my own grave could you lift me up
Repetition of the plea for assistance and support.
Digging my own grave could you lift me up
-Digging my own grave could you lift me up
-Could you lift me up aye
