Requiem

[Verse 1: AWKWORD] I start off with a bang, boom, better than life Like your pharmacist finally got your medicine right Until you start to overdose, on the pleasure and pain And your spine starts tingling, you’re feeling a little strange Now you brush it off your shoulders, take a deep breath It’s better than being sober, puffing up your chest But your heart beats through it, you're starting to act foolish Your head is now spinning, you’re about to really lose it Elusive this lucidness, you float like a butterfly And every track mark's another note of your lullaby But you take chances, cause that’s what being a man is Plus it’s romantic, when you ask God for answers Please, he'll never say hello to you I’m the truth and the question, I flow through you I’m your friends and your family, who don’t know you I’m that picture of sanity, I won't show you [Hook: AWKWORD with Ess Vee, Jay Daniels & Mark Deez] x2 I’m your frat party, blow it up your nose, my son In your Ed Hardy, pour it, tilt, get drunk Let’s get it started, light it, smoke, get dumb I’m The Requiem, shoot it up ya vein, get numb [Verse 2: SoulStice] I’m the answer, I provide a sense a security I got all y'all convinced of my purity Give me what you got, all of it preferably I might give it back when I’m done as a courtesy I’ll numb the pain, no ques', that’s a certainty I’m the man, Monday, you’ve never heard of me Tuesday, you will search for me, tryna purchase me Can’t find me, turn the place burgundy And I was blowing your phone last night In fact I am why you ain't come home last night I’m why you lost the J-O, why you gotta lay low Getting out is over your head, like a halo Stained white shirt, holes in jeans First one’s free, or so it seems You can pay me in hopes and dreams Now gon' drop em in, like a coke machine [Hook] x2 [Verse 3: Ess Vee] Just call me a pill, I dissolve in your system, right I’m keepin it real, you need me I’m your rhythm, like A needle in a vein owned by a fiend he feels the pain Whether I’m going in or going out you need me to stay sane Look, I’m your dealer’s dream but your neighbor’s nightmare I could make you lean, while you’re standing right there Now, could you just imagine That I could change your face up, like you running for a pageant Don’t try to understand it, the self-inflicted damage You mad cause you can’t ban it, you can’t shake me like a habit See I’m whiter than a rabbit, or greener than your local park Now roll me up pass me around make sure your lighters spark You go from light to dark, they say the freaks come out at night You need me just to start and now to take it down, right I got your back, see, I told you not to frown I’m here to lift you up I can also take you down [Hook] x2 [Verse 4: CuzOH!

I keep you away from pain, away from shame The rush in your veins, sure cost a little change, damn Ain’t I worth it? why the attitude change, damn? I was certain, me and you was perfect Couldn’t I take you higher while hitting you until it hurt [Hook] x2
