[Chorus: iriasona]
Don’t give up so easy
‘Cause I don’t have no
One else, don’t leave me
I’m crying on the edge now
Don’t give up so easy
‘Cause I don’t have no
One else, don’t leave me
I’m crying on the edge now
[Bridge: Empathy]
You ridin’ with me then you dyin’ with me
You wanna save me, I’m already gone
Away in the smoke, fade away in the smoke
You growing distant and I’m growing cold
She smokin’ with me, these hoes don’t miss me
We fight then fuck and I cuss you out
Then you cuss me out and you’re right though
They tell me that’s just how this life go
Drug addiction you’re my worst one
Need intervention from this good love
Wasn’t made for it so I feel stuck
Been bottom dwellin’ left in the dark
Drug addiction you’re my worst one
Need intervention from this good love
Drug addiction you’re my worst one
Need intervention from this good love
[Verse 1: Empathy]
Scared to lose ya but my heart been hollow
‘Nother bottle I just drown in the liquor and fuckin’ wallow
I’m a stand up motherfucker
Throw a hand out, shake it and we good brother
People pleaser I just try too hard
I miss the days when I’d fill up I’d drive too far
And I miss being dirt broke sleepin’ in my car
We ain’t had no money but atleast we could laugh
They were the best years, coffee and cones for breakfast
I can’t even eat now, the kid been reckless
Sit on the edge and pretend it’s all good
I cut off my friends had to tell ‘em it’s not you
Blow an ounce in the air, lemme figure it out
See a chick over there, used to dip in and out
Drive through like fast food to let a baddie bounce
Confused can’t lose you I know I’m not around but
[Chorus: iriasona & Empathy]
Don’t give up so easy
(Please don’t give up on me babe)
‘Cause I don’t have no
One else, don’t leave me
(Fuck)
I’m crying on the edge now
(I’m trying)
Don’t give up so easy
(I know you try too hard for me)
‘Cause I don’t have no
(Fuck, man)
One else, don’t leave me
(Sometimes I sit back and wonder what the fuck I’ve done to myself)
I’m crying on the edge now
[Verse 2: Empathy]
I push away love when shit is going too well
She told me “Get some therapy”, don’t need no help
I smoke and fuck the pain away to keep it to myself
Do it ‘til my lungs decay and both our legs fuckin’ melt
My dad tellin’ me I blame myself for too much
But I done fucked up too many times to feel such
Hard to seperate between the drugs and real love
Substances ain’t nothin’ to substantially build from
Shit
Used to ride around for a bussdown
Especially when I started music, chicks wanna fuck now
Don’t wanna fill the void with the smoke of this good loud
But i ain’t knowin’ nothin’ except for that and these sleek sounds
When do I switch priorities and focus on you?
Tryna build a world for us while I’m stuck in this booth
Relivin’ my past the trauma driven from all the scars
That keep me spittin’ like an alcoholic, pain in these bars I’m beggin’
(I’m beggin’ you babe)
[Outro: iriasona]
Don’t give up so easy
‘Cause I don’t have no
One else, don’t leave me
I’m crying on the edge now
Ahhh, ahh, ah-uh
Go oh ohoh
