lyrics

[Intro}
Uh uh
You got burdens, I got burdens, we got burdens in life
That's why my burner grip tight
And I be smokin' it right
I'm a burden, you a burden, kids will burden your life, like
E, M, P

{Verse 1]
This remind me of my youth and I ain't talkin' 'bout them teenage years (Nah)
Muhfucker I just spent them in the booth (For real)
I guess I've always felt that I had something to prove (Something)
To new faces that ain't even care about how I move, uh
This remind me of before I was sick
When a stick could last a week, now I'll inhale it quick
When I split a litre gin between me and six friends
Ask me when I dissociated, man that depends (Depends)
Was it, when my parents called it quits and I was caught up in the mix? (Aye)
I couldn't understand the shit but I guess I was forced to it
I don't blame my father, 'cause shit, ain't nobody perfect
And I don't blame my mama, 'cause if the shit ain't working

[Hook 1]
Then why burden yourself? (Why the fuck are you-!)
Why keep hurtin' yourself? (Why keep hurtin' yourself?)
Look, why burden yourself, or keep hurting yourself?
Why burden yourself? (Why ya burdenin' and hurtin' yourself?)

[Verse 2]
This remind me of my youth, when I was clean and out the womb
My mama coppin' me some shoes, felt like the man when I's at school (Yeah)
Ramen in the afternoon, simple times you pick and choose (Simple)
What shawty I'm taking for graduation, now it's the rent or the food (Which?)
What dudes associated with ya clique and ya friends?
Are ya friends apart of the clique or a means to an end? (Yeah)
Ask me why I'm antisocial, man I guess that depend
Is it 'cause everyone I know done asked for a fix?
Seem like I'm only at the function so they all get a sniff
Maybe I'm too buddy-buddy, don't pay me back bro that's it
I called it quits with the drugs, now I'm alone with my bitch
Skip the small talk fucker, what you give for a hit?

[Hook 2]
So why'd you burden me dog? (Why?)
Questioning my purpose like "fuck" (Questionin' my purpose)
So why'd you burden me dog? Guess I'm the person you call
When you want in but you can't get involved (You sly cunt)

[Verse 3}
This remind me that the truth is that I never needed you
For validation or reviews about my music or conclude
That I'm a fuck up 'cause I risked it all to live the way I choose
When you ain't gotta fuckin' clue, but everybody think they do (Fuck)
And If I held a grudge to everybody that wronged me
I'd prolly spend my life hatin' who I am in the morning (Real shit)
Forgive and forget, the only way to man up
'Cause I just love myself way too damn much (Yeah)
And so, look
You can't live in my head, rent free like a squatter
Got no room up in there, only the rhymes that I'm jottin'
She get jealous of music 'cause that bitch hold my attention
Longer than any women when they leave my side who I'm left with?
The tunes, the beats, the rhythm, the blues (Yeah)
On my lonely, in my room, Frank Ocean, for the loot (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Imma fuckin' get it all or the kid will die trying
Piece of mind, got 50 cents worth that's 25 that prying
In my life, check back when you do business with ya thoughts (Check back)
Tellin' me to "get on track" when ya nine to five's a raut (Fuckin' raut)
Man, these people givin' up on me, I ain't return their calls (Nah)
Hit decline like I just passed a fuckin' vendor in the mall

[Hook 3]
Sorry to burden you bruh (Sorry to burden)
But don't you worry I'm good (Don't you fuckin' worry)
I feel I burden ya bruh, so please just show me the door
And when you need me I'm gone (And I won't ever come back)

[Interlude]
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Burdens, burdens
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Burdens, burdens
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Burdens, burdens
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday
Deal with burdens everyday

[Outro]
People really criticise you for being an addict man like you-
You ever have another addict tell you to stop using?
You think I have a crippling dependence by choice or somethin'?
Oh nah nah, my favourite is when people think that
The pain they caused you is the reason you're an addict then they victimise themselves like
Motherfucker don't think so highly of yourself, I was gonna try them drugs anyway
Tell me you've never dealt with addiction without telling me you never dealt with addiction
