Dip Out
Contemplating Existence: Teddy Fantum's Poignant Departure
Lyrics
I don’t need nobody else dying
I don’t want anyone else to die.
I been thinking bout myself leaving
I've been contemplating leaving and focusing on myself.
Most of my friends are already dead
Many of my friends have already passed away.
Sometimes I hate that I’m still breathing
Sometimes I dislike the fact that I'm still alive.
Why do I try when it's all fleeting
Why do I make an effort when everything is temporary?
Life is as real as a palm reading
Life is as tangible as a palm reading, implying its unpredictability.
Nothing is fair, nah it’s not even
Nothing in life is fair; it's not even close.
She asked if I’m here I said, "not even"
Someone asked if I'm present, and I responded negatively.
I been going through it all season
I've been going through difficult times consistently.
Thin line between friend and demon
There's a thin line distinguishing between a friend and a demon.
Things just happen man fuck the reasons
Things happen without clear reasons; disregard them.
Gotta leave it behind or I’m never leaving
I need to leave the past behind to move forward.
I can’t think about nothing else
I can't focus on anything else.
I’m stuck here just tryna figure this out
I feel stuck, trying to solve my current situation.
When I’m gone I’m leaving by myself
When I'm gone, I'll be alone, leaving by myself.
Wonder how they’ll treat me when I dip out
Wondering how people will treat me when I leave or die.
When I dip, dip, dip
Repetition of the idea of leaving or "dipping out."
When I dip out
-When I dip, dip, dip
-When I dip out,
-When I dip, dip, dip
-When I dip out,
-When I dip, dip, dip
-I can’t stand the term underrated
I dislike being labeled as underrated.
They tatting my lyrics a nigga made it
People are permanently marking my lyrics; I've achieved success.
I never sold out on pen and paper
I haven't compromised on my artistic integrity.
I took some L’s man I had to face it
I've faced losses and challenges in my journey.
I put niggas on now they hating
I've helped others, and now they harbor resentment.
When I’m gone they’ll appreciate it
People will only truly appreciate me when I'm gone.
Say they love me, I was their favourite
People claim to love me, but it might be superficial.
They gotta live knowing that they faked it
They will have to live with the knowledge of their insincerity.
Who in your circle’s a secret agent?
Questioning the loyalty of people in my inner circle.
Will rip your soul out, hit the pavement
Someone might betray deeply, causing a fall.
I gotta glow hope death is patient
I hope to shine before my eventual death, despite my fears.
But paranoia says I’ll get wasted
Paranoia suggests a premature demise.
Fuck it let's get wasted
Deciding to embrace recklessness and abandon caution.
I can’t think about nothing else
Reiterating the difficulty in focusing on anything else.
I’m stuck here just tryna figure this out
Feeling trapped, trying to comprehend the current situation.
When I’m gone I’m leaving by myself
When I'm gone, I'll be alone, leaving by myself.
Wonder how they’ll treat me when I dip out
Curious about the treatment I'll receive when I leave or die.
When I dip, dip, dip
Repetition of the idea of leaving or "dipping out."
When I dip out
-When I dip, dip, dip
-When I dip out,
-When I dip, dip, dip
-When I dip out,
-When I dip, dip, dip [x2]
