[Intro]
One day at a time
GioGio
[Verse 1]
One day at a time, I promised myself to get out of this slump
Pain and the bites, harness my health
Reroute and bring luck to this city
Who's tryna fuck with me?
These clowns wanna see me in cuffs
Burn all my shit, heat me up like Gus
I don't feel no one, not even a touch
Paid my dues, still rich, not speaking 'bout funds
And I'll make it way out from the projects
Whether you want it, I'll lay on the ground
Berettas and Glocks is aimed at the clouds
When rappers with watches more safe in their house
Than yappin' and walking, so spray and go blow
I'll have to be honest or say what I'm 'bout
This my last concert, it's great, take a bow (yeah)
I wrote "GIOGIO?" and I wrote "Claire"
Was a low blow, man, it ain't fair
Made rebirth, but it's still old me
I don't care no more, better go OD
If I was in a grave, I'd be still top 3
Above you lames, you heard this beat?
Love in shame, blurt shit I don't believe
Shove my brain, my mom dropped the kid
Am I gone or Gio's yet to leave?
Oh God, throw debts out the window
How many more I'll have to please?
My bro and dad, woah, that's so sick
Roll off the bed, the floor not even clean
Feel worse I have to win
Go to sleep at 4, wake up at 5
"What's up with Gio? He looks so tired
Is it 'cause of the deal with Claire, or should I say bargain?"
Should I say fuck it? I don't know man, but that rope looks inviting
One day is the time we'll all be ridin'
[Hook]
One day, one day, one day, ok ok
One day, one day, one day, ok ok
One day, one day, one day, ok ok
One day, one day, one day, one day
[Verse 2]
There's a fine line between my jokes
I don't know when to push it and pull it slow
So for the whole night you write a song
And it's so nice, it's got it all
A story, the sound, the drums and the soul
And you 'bout to release it on your first album
It's 'bout a girl that you barely know
But she struggles with weight and her dad is gone
Do you do it for the profit? Do you do it for the passion?
Best would be both, but both of us know
That interest and wishin' are often clashin'
Do you do it for the public? Do you do it for yourself?
Well none of your friends gon' listen to this shit
So spit it how you please, you need some help (Gio)
I turned soft, I once was a beast in a pit that ate all
Got my guns cocked, reload, straight from the hip, you'll never stop these flows
And I race y'all like a NASCAR, you wanna face off? I'm leatherface with a chainsaw
Better pick up the pace, bro
Off the humble shit, I'll show forgiveness
Lock my hunger, still a no for business
Mock my younger self, I walked the distance
I brought my mother wealth, it warped my vision
Most you white collars could never watch it, so better suck it
Tight office got your feet burnin'
Mic on, it's king Merlin
Pick up the pen, I don't know what to write
Hit me in the head 'til ideas start flyin'
It's me, you and I, cover the red of these wrists with a bottle of wine
God, I decide, since I sent my face on a post online
And Alex left me, then Gio died
I was like twelve, she told me one day I'll suicide
Changed me forever, this is not another letter
To a lover, I was gettin' way too honest on a camera
To be sittin' in a coffin' at the bottom of my head
I feel it way too close to be closing all these chapters
Forgive me if I go without a warn as a rapper
And my foes choke, it was foretold that Gio would die a legend
When will it happen?
[Outro]

The Fallen Angel

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Uh huh, yeah
[Verse 1]
My name is immortal, that shit will never die with me
I'm stayin' immoral, got angels still cryin' for me
Staying that mortal, that shit is just life to me
Changing that lowball into minimal privacy
Got 'em demons on my back, God, I'm leaning on myself
No, don't think I need some help, call that living on the edge
Caught some feelings for the stress, forgot that shit it's in my past
To be honest, hon, I got this locked, it's in the bag
I got this Glock that's in my hand, I'm shooting for the stars
I've been stupid from the start and it's lookin' like I stunt
I've been through it with no luck, that cookin' with no money
I've been due a quick glow up, rat-putrid, it's so funny
Reached my highest peak, rinsed the driest skin
Seen the lion's den, seek my righteous will, another dime to steal before I like the deal
I write to feel mighty, divinely wield rhymes and rhythms
My eyes got the fire in 'em
[Bridge]
They look at my face and cry
They remember how I was in their perfect eyes
Last thing I've ever saved was sayin' goodbye
As my halo hits the ground with my name and spine
[Hook]
I guess I've fallen
Must've got it all wrong, hey
But don't act innocent
'Cause you made me fall then
[Verse 2]
You can take all my achievements, you can hate on my image
You complain, I'ma listen, but I stray from the kissing
On my enemies' foreheads, I will stand by peace broken
Understand, for this token I have bled the sea of Moses
Label me a traitor, they be waiting on my next move
Bathin' me in danger just to blame it on my health too
It's pavements on my ass, cool, nothing pays me like these tracks do
Forsaken me a stranger, name my wake and people ask "who?"
A fucking rascal, loving hands thrown, nothing less and what could he have more?
Me at my best, hoe, is peer pressure, I'm still mad for evenings I spent poor
So you can rob me of my identity, block me from my fantasy
Mock it and fight empathy, shocking, you guys envy me
Preachers tell you pride is the devil
Idiots, landed on I when I fell off
[Bridge]
They look at my face and cry
They remember how I was in their perfect eyes
Last thing I've ever saved was sayin' goodbye
As my halo hits the ground with my name and spine
[Hook]
I guess I've fallen
Must've got it all wrong, hey
But don't act innocent
'Cause you made me fall then
[Verse 3]
You abandoned me, clapped for the accuse, back of me slapped
You could use my baggage as trap, you induce my faculties snap
You seduce masses and slack, you'd produce a platinum plaque
Views on statues and that abusive past on your mask
You cannot impress me, homie, you smell of plastic, homie
I descend in depths below me just as friends fret to throw me
Off the heavens, back to lonely lands to grow in
Smash an opening into grass, exploding, crash a hole in my hellish omen
World in the palm of my hands, as a kid
Just hold on 'til I'll palm it again, was a minute
That I lost what brought me this mess, what a finish
That I crossed just 'cause I'm the best, uh
Disfigured, on my face scars
The insignia of a faint love
Been figured as a saint but
This figure never remains such, yeah
|

[Intro: GioGio]
Yeah, yeah
Woah, shit
Woah, shit
Woah, shit
[Verse 1: GioGio]
I'm always remembering Gio as a child, joking around
It's joggin' my memory, wrote me a style, rode it to town
Step to me? Fuck it, just let 'em sing
Rhyme it, I get some hits, funny, 'cause as a kid
Used to get bruises when I got me punch in the mouth
A vengeance to maggots who lend me a beat
A millennial whose efforts will live for centuries
I'm the centerpiece, a centipede, I have endless feats
Just look at what Jay just sent to me
It's a sentiment to just wreck a kit
When the words from your brain just erupt in a haze
And their birth in a space where they meant to be
It's a catastrophe for an asshole whose ass is a fan to me
Offendin' me? Well, come at me, G
I sell like a boat, why the hell you think I call my life a shipwreck
Even if my records ship?
[Hook: GioGio]
Go for broke
Shit, you hate me but it's counterpro-
Ductive, I duck it, funny, the amount of work that I do
Just to go for broke
[Verse 2: Aktivist]
Game got fucked so I'll change the rubber
Go for broke like I chase these hoes
Whose banks read 0 like they hate these numbers
Chain-link cover that I spray each sucker from
You don't know but Jay-Lee's gutter come
Pop a dumb freak like an appalam
We can get deep like an avalanche
You don't want beef when I'm at the ranch
I deflect the shit like light rays
Epileptic fit'll leave you lied sideways, read what the sign says
This Jay-Lee with Gio few flow like our sine waves
We loop holes like we tie lace (Why am I back now?)
To spit facts, when you say ''give brain'' (brain)
You mean with lip smacks
This runs like Usain Bolt on a kids track
Watch how you get rolled like oat packs
When I go for broke I smoke foes
Anyone in range gets toked so (woah)
Let's go get takin' your photos
'Cause what's next you bein' exposed, so
[Hook: GioGio]
Go for broke
Shit, you hate me but it's counterpro-
Ductive, I duck it, funny, the amount of work that I do
Just to go for broke
[Verse 3: GioGio]
So you pray for my fall, ''Gio is delusional, go for the cubicle
Roll with the numero uno
Cope with the fumes when you're paid on the 4th''
I've been left in the cold, but I made it so warm
I'm not beefing at all, but I'm seeking comfort
If you're speaking 'bout me, you better come forth
I'm sick of the bitter and badder, I go for the throat
Back when my feelings were choked
Bullies who had me in the hold and gave me the fuel
"Surely you're ending unknown, emptied by school
And dead on the road"
Mary, your son has no hope
Have it, you sung on your own
Ready, you fucks whether alone
Or together, the weather is pleasant
I grab on my weapon and let it unload
|

4. |

[Verse 1]
Do you even know yourself?
Is it something you can hold?
Is it a pot full of gold, is it a curse from my own?
Do you even care to be?
Special, I mean, is it worth it, my dear?
To be given that seal
Is it love from the others? Is it love from yourself?
But what is love without lovers, what is love if not real?
I've been searching far and wide for a little lie to keep inside
That could tell me I'm special, special, oh, special
[Pre-Hook]
Tell me what you think it is
I pray it might be infinite
Stick it to my strings and then
Tell me that I'm winning it
But tell me what you think it is
The doubt that we are living in
It's a sin to merely speak of it
[Hook]
What makes a person special? Makes us question
Are you? Am I not that special?
Can a label placed upon my forehead say that I am special
What makes a person special?
[Post-Hook]
Special, I'm special, you're special
Special, I'm special, you're special
[Interlude]
Uh huh, yeah
Ok, yeah (question)
[Verse 2]
Can celebrities walk on water?
Does the president even love his momma?
Is a pessimist a no-recover?
Should a rapper get a cover-job, huh?
Do the children deserve the bombings?
Should the system preserve its promise?
Shoot you bitches, but dear judge, this verse is metaphoric
What makes a person special, wh-when the weapon's in your hands tho'
And you blast those dirty of their last work
On their last leg with their mass-hope, (What's that?)
It's a last-man-standing situation but the last man standing is that lone
He can't stand himself with a leg broken
Do you wager a grave could be special?
When you're knee leveled in a kid's temple
And you wait for grenades to be careful
But your leader got the ringer on that kid's head, so
A big asshole can still be a lil special
Well shit, then I'm in and set for
I'll sing falsetto and win a medal, just give the tempo
I could be a star, I could get a Grammy
I don't give a fuck, you can copycat me
I'll keep it a buck, don't call me trending
I'm an incompetent and condescending
But I'm confident you can't protest me
When I'm dropping this, they keep on asking
"Are you special Gio?" Well no, bro, but I'm the best me
[Pre-Hook]
Tell me what you think it is
I pray it might be infinite
Stick it to my strings and then
Tell me that I'm winning it
But tell me what you think it is
The doubt that we are living in
It's a sin to merely speak of it
[Hook]
What makes a person special? Makes us question
Are you? Am I not that special?
Can a label placed upon my forehead say that I am special
What makes a person special?
[Post-Hook]
Special, I'm special, you're special
Special, I'm special, you're special

[Part I]
[Intro]
Uh, huh
Yeah, ok
[Verse 1]
Dici che ti ho deluso, non sono più lo stesso
Non sorrido manco più, raggiungo giugno senza stress, O-
-Ppure se aggiungo sentimento mi sento giù
Quanto ripudio quella giusta parola che conclude con -esso
Ma più che aprire il cuore, dimmi cosa posso fare
Provo a reprimere l'amore, muoio solo come un cane
Sono tutto ciò che odiavo, umano sotto le cazzate
Ho fatto molto per del pane per rincorrere mio padre
Non faccio più discorsi, scrivo solo le canzoni
Schivo luci e riflettori, mi uccidono da fuori
Ci invidiano, scrittori, lucifero è tra voi, ah
Scusami le scuse succinte, t'annoia
Pure se stiamo da soli, viviamo rapidi e poi
Facciamo i salti di gioia fino a toccare il soffitto
Fino agli scatti di noia, fino a scontrare il destino
Tipo che parli di roba fino a scoccare il mattino, yeah
[Hook]
Dimmi, sei delusa da me?
Scusa, ero nella mia testa
Cercavo un risposta che non fosse questa
Quindi dimmi, sei delusa da me?
Sei delusa da me?
Dimmi, sei delusa da me?
Scusa, ma delusa da che?
Pensavo ad un fossa che fosse aperta
Quindi forse sei delusa da me?
Sei delusa da me?
[Verse 2]
Mi sento in colpa solo quando è troppo tardi
Li sento quando son da solo, tengo il conto, troppi sbagli
Pensieri con i pezzi sfatti, non riesco a collegarli
Che passati gli anni manco io so perdonarmi
Prima ero molto più bravo
Seduto nel banco, molto più calmo
Ora morto nell'animo, ve lo porto sul palco
Almeno è intrattenente quando le tende si alzano
Le occhiaie di chi dorme mai, chi chiami non risponde mai, ehi
Ah si, quando tornerai? Basta che non farai tardi
Che piove fuori e c'hai male agli arti
Quanto male agli altri hai fatto?
Mi dici che sei meglio di me, che siam nemici pure se
Io assomiglio a te e tu assomigli a me
Quindi scusa se ti chiedo ma
[Hook]
Dimmi, sei deluso da me?
Scusa, ero nella mia testa
Cercavo un risposta che non fosse questa
Quindi dimmi, sei deluso da me?
Sei deluso da me?
Dimmi, sei deluso da me?
Scusa, ma deluso da che?
Pensavo ad un fossa che fosse aperta
Quindi forse sei deluso da me?
Sei deluso da me?
[Part II]
[Verse]
Frate, sto meglio da solo, tanto mi state sul cazzo
Ma quale ragazzino d'oro, ti stacco il cranio con n'calcio
Se vedo il me del passato, gli schiaffi che tiro, ti giuro
Fanno tremare la terra, fanno svegliare Nettuno, uh
Non scrivo canzoni d'amore, fanculo, a cosa mi serve?
Io scrivo canzoni di odio, sicuro qualcuno ci perde
Guarda la cover art, frate, Lucifero vi piscia in testa, uh
Fa che la rabbia rimane, più ne ho, più mi completa, uh
Stavo da solo nel back, stavo con Ema e Alex, (e, e, e)
Stavo contento e depresso, ora le pare mi appaion di petto
Mi dicono ''Vai, prova un timing diverso''
Certo che parto come n'pazzo frate, mi pari sto cazzo, che cazzo fate?
Un cazzo pare, meglio morto che scarso frate

Dear Diary
03:24
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I just feel the need to say sorry
It ain't much, I fear, and my face worried
I munch on ideas when the pain's working
See myself as a kid and they're all looking
At me and they all judgin', all laughin', so funny
'Cause I'm neglectin' my friends around me
Wasn't even remembering today's your birthday
I was too busy laying chords way perfect
Think I'm 'bout to drown, I don't swim 'bove surface
They lie I'm too profound, wanna steal my sole purpose
Soul's purpose? Wait, I just write songs
And they perpetuate like wars, my whole focus
I've forgiven opponents, even Alex
So different roads chosen, rid of malice
And even those don't lead to good, so
Many motherfuckers wanna read my tombstone
[Hook]
I've been filling you up with these dark thoughts
You say ''Is it ok, will they all stop?''
I don't know, but let's go 'til the ball drops
I'm so sorry for the pain I brought upon
Write in you, ride for you, cry for you, oh
Lie for you, side with you, you lightin' my soul
Nothing even matters so say fuck it
Will you stay with me, my dear diary?
[Verse 2]
So I flip your pages like I don't already know
What they speak or say in ink I've wasted
But these mirrors are faking
Reflect on my past when I lived incubated
Through trials and tribulations as a child
Ask about ''What is love?'' I never felt it
My surroundings were dark, had to match 'em
And surviving was hard, you were either a star or a felon
So I gotta say thank you, you were always by my side
Through the fights with ammo, we divide, I left you
You define my level to be right and careful
So many nights cried with devils
And my demons still cry for me, oh, the irony
Reach for my wrist and try to fist fight with me
Will you die with me, my dear diary?
[Bridge]
I've been filling you up with these dark thoughts
You say ''Is it ok, will they all stop?''
I don't know, but let's go 'til the ball drops
I'm so sorry for the pain I brought upon
Write in you, ride for you, cry for you, oh
Lie for you, side with you, you lightin' my soul
Nothing even matters so say fuck it
Will you stay with me, my dear diary?
[Hook]
I've been filling you up with these dark thoughts
You say ''Is it ok, will they all stop?''
I don't know, but let's go 'til the ball drops
I'm so sorry for the pain I brought upon
Write in you, ride for you, cry for you, oh
Lie for you, side with you, you lightin' my soul
Nothing even matters so say fuck it
Will you stay with me, my dear diary?

Showtime
02:58
|

[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the show
There is nothing to be seen or be heard
I'll be first to talk, yo, there is nothing but empty seats
And mannequins instead of them in their spots tho
I'll be done eventually, but not for so long
Tell the president I'm not for sale, hoe
Yell and flex again, "you'll end in hell, Gio
I preferred your debut, you were better before
What happened with Claire and the shit you was mad about?
Was the whole record a fake just to gain some clout?
Was your intent to escape from the debts of your daddy's route?
Would you please answer my laughing mouth?"
I've been left in doubt, I guess
I needed time to get back on my bullshit
I'll keep it a dime, this rap is consumin'
My feelings of dying get stacked with the music
[Hook]
La, la, la la la la, la la la
La, la, la la, la la
La, la, la la la
And whe- when I'm gone too, don't even cry
This life is a show, I need to sing along now
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm too wishful with what I want
Long time no see
Alright, go Gee-Oh
Write a sixteen tight for people
That's never gonna bother with you
Should've inherited and gotten your brother's iq
'Cause your mother tried to get you in a little better headspace
For when you run from high school and get a lack of accolades (Oh no)
Motherfuckers, wouldn't you like that?
Just so I can write that in my nice pad
And you assholes can then whine, so my wine stacks
And my wife snaps like a tight band (Snap)
I don't shake hands, I stay mad for as long as I played a sane man
I'm still the same lame ass with the same exact pair of gonads
[Hook]
La, la, la la la la, la la la
La, la, la la, la la
La, la, la la la
And whe- when I'm gone too, don't even cry
This life is a show, I need to sing along now
[Verse 3]
So you wanna know 'bout Claire and Gio
Or drool while you just gon' stare?
Let me check the list, got rejected
It's kinda messed but god, just get two feet away from me
At least I got new content that my three followers on IG
Can ignore to then unfollow me
I guess they're bored of same old me
And real talk for just one second
I still got that smug-fuck passion
Of a kid brought up-by records
MCs' art, spun rhymes backwards
Then dream of fun, I, rapper?
It's begun, my bastards
Life might egg on, that cunt tried lemons on me
But one day at a time I gave life my lemons
[Hook]
La, la, la la la la, la la la
La, la, la la, la la
La, la, la la la
Went from lil sings to "I fell in love"
This life is a show, I need to sing along now

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse]
Every time I place the pen upon the paper
It's kinda pleasant, but my brain is pensive and depressed when it stops the train of -
Thought, 'cause it wants every verse to be at state of art
Pressin' on my gun's trigger but I missed the mark
Stressed since the day I made a beat and then played a song
Played it for Jay, ''It's great, man, amazing''
Guess I manmade a façade, now my ass is facin' that frost
I'm just tryna meet expectations, that's all
I guess it stems back from the times I was a little kid
I never slacked, that was a right that wasn't fit for me
So teachers' work ridiculous, it took a week to finish it
And idiots would ridicule me, always picking on the skinniest
I'm dreamin' of achieving it, I'm aiming for what's perfect
That lady with the curves n' a relation with no curtains
Saving on a purchase or laying on a surface
Waiting to be given the ok for your own crib
That feeling like you just might fail
Right, fearin' the jump prevails
That excitement that drives us crazy
I can't provide a line to explain it
I know I'm always searching for it
The perfect verse that could scourge recordings
So that a hurting colleague would conserve annoyance
And rework his performance in a form of mourning
And any tone that was roaring would transform according
Lots of wasted potential on my waist and my temples
I'll be placed on the best of the failures and assholes
'Cause I can't pick a side, I just lack the decisiveness
The stature and status to feel my contempt
Always on my mind, my parents couldn't pay rent
So Gio would have a try, I gave in into that great mess
And so I began to slide little paying's just to save dad
From workin' all the time for lame-ass paychecks
I can feel the eyes on me, I just kill a rhyme and tell it to lie for me
I just keep a vibe that's singing ''I got it''
But when that ticket expirin' its demons iconic
It's due to how stupid I am, I act different
And you's consumin' as fans, my plans limpin'
As soon as start brewing the last, I'm back in it
Assumin' my music could pass like transmittance
So enter all the laziness, the mentor of my aching head
The days I spent in bed rotating, temper on a raging red
The temperature starts to raise in fact, like pressure when you blaze some gas
Oppression on my baby steps, attendance for my shaky legs
I don't want nobody to touch me
You might crush me, that lust ain't giving me much
But fright rushing, it's messed up, I still feel it as such
I might cry, shit
Vulnerable was not a trait to trade with me for them
I showed my open door and gave the frame a key as well
The only girl whose patience faced with a ring from Zales
Had surely known I was deeply frail, simply stale
You're fucked up to the bone, always far from your home, woah
I'ma talk to a ghost, then go on with the walls, woah
I loop my finger around this silver lining
At least my new rigor is bound to sicker lines n'
You could stick a chewed swisher down my liver, smiling
I withstood much thicker grounds to live confined in
Being flawless, yeah, is my prison, Pink Floyd with the light prism
Sig Freud with the mind research, psyched on every fine detail
The only thing that links me to my old self is suicide attempts
Should've picked a sharper blade and all
The motives mixed with sleep is relief, no help with seein' light of lamps
Almost reached the nicer place above
Shit, I'm all out of beginner's luck
The merry goes round on the guinness love
A criminal, foul, with an English glove
I just live in the sound when I think too much
[Outro]
I'm just tryna meet expectations, that's all

Therapist (Interlude)
02:03
|
|||
[Intro]
You see, you're a particular case, aren't ya?
Unique, really
No other way to describe it
I get it, I get it, it's hard to accept it
And sometimes, things won't go the way you want 'em to
And that's ok, they shouldn't
I can't promise you that I can fix you, you're too far gone for that
But I can help you, even if just a little bit
Now repeat after me
One (one), day (day)
[Verse]
Feel so manic, I'm schizophrenic
I don't see no end to this like George Shearing
You big ol' bastards don't wanna pick no effort
With Gio, Rodrigues Pedro, kill but fairly
I'm m-my own therapist, no wonder I'm so bad at this
My rule is swallow medicines, it's cruel, but don't care if it's
For a good cause, I get too hard on myself with these
Crude raw sentences, cool Gio but, uuh, your rap is shit
One step forward, ten steps backwards
Tap the tempo for a fucking anthem
Lungs get scorched, reload my ammo
My pen's a sword, these words the anvil
I once was a caged animal
Got brought up by lames eggin' on
My dollars, paid havin' none
It costed lots, but we ate and landed on
Our feet, oh my God, G, you got stomped on, now watch me
Take these weights off like Rock Lee, you ain't topped this
I'm top three, was the bad apple from a lone tree
Been treated like rags left in the laundry
I'll scream it again, you heard me?
"Call me a fag, I bet ya you want me"
I feel like snapping on a bitch without warning
Still if I'm clapped it's only with my verses
Birth of a monster, it's birds for your coffins
Weird, you're still walking, rigor and mortis
I've figured these words are as simple as talking
Put 'em together, these letters are stacking
I've let 'em cadaver, now wave at the camera
Whether I'm bad as the devil or Attila (Repeat aft-)
Gonna let you finish in a minute, but they're speaking
And they're tripping, only 'cause I'm timid
'Tell 'em turn the knife and stick it in it
Like my dick in all their bitches
I'm thinking of a trick and disappearing from the scene
It's a wish for a wizard who's really just a kid
Who keeps giving shit to every citizen
And politician in every position
I'm hoping I'm pissin' every single leech with these disses
[Outro]
I'm so fucked in the head that I'm so fucking ahead
Ah fuck, where's my pills?

My House
02:20
|
|||
[Intro]
Yeah
My house
[Verse 1]
My house is broken
Still reminisce on the times my friends were curious about the -
Giant holes in the walls n' no wonder I was tryna -
Get out from the projects, bought my momma groceries
Rose from the cold, a flower in October
That's the vibe locally, never inviting a homie or most the kids
Always denied where I'm sposed to be, always the guy with lowest in-
Come, but I guess in the end it paid off
Crazy, economically stable is betting on jobs
And as much as I'm respecting my pops
I never want to look in my kid's eyes
And tell 'em this is it, what a sick life
[Hook]
This is my house, you can keep out
This is my house, you'll get kicked 'round
This is my house with its ripped lounge
This is my house, what it's been 'bout
This is my house, you can re-route
This is my house, where I speak foul
This is my house, where I stick now
This is my house, where I live now
[Verse 2]
Nobody knows me better than these walls
That and the ghost of Nicole Simpson
Dead in my home, on pills and some gin tho'
Definitely chosen to risk it all, gringo
I've always been into the Wi-fi, the white lights of the sci-fi
Eighteen years later it's my rhymes, a slick teenager with a bright mind
Hate teachers' papers so I bribed mine, no 9-5 or knife fights
When you leave I pray that you lock the door, wave at you like ''bye bye''
And it's my right to re-try to re-write my revival
A deep dive in the B-sides of a mean guy, a bit spiteful, a dick icon
[Hook]
This is my house, you can keep out
This is my house, you'll get kicked 'round
This is my house with its ripped lounge
This is my house, what it's been 'bout
This is my house, you can re-route
This is my house, where I speak foul
This is my house, where I stick now
This is my house, where I live now
[Verse 3]
Do you wanna visit? Do you wanna see the fucking slittings on my wrist
I've been keepin' really hidden, they so hideous
I'm sensitive but thinking there's a bitch inside my system'll lead to censorship
I better keep my mouth shut, that's how I'm used to
Used to livin' in my house, blew tubes leaking on the ground
Miss 'em when I'll move out
Product of my environment, probably quite violent
Poverty's like balance to offer me a guide right when
Economy's liked silence and copped a lease high salary
The common peeps' white knight that - that at most'll reach five thousands

Son Of The Morning

[Verse 1]
The day that I stepped in, I was too bright
They made me infected, always knew plight
The weight of an action on disputes, fights
The face of who's destined and who'll soon die
Maybe I'm invested in a new light, a new path
Fuck a news stand, if I told myself I could do that
Like I do rap, stop tryna be a role model to a kid, they don't follow
God, if you wanna meet me in a dark novel to insist on your own sorrow
For my spot, gotta still see what I plot on the teachings of this whole bottle
Fuck it, I fought for this cross on my name, I cock back and aim, caught on my knees
I'm on Kaepernick's game, out of the love I copped all the pain
I've been locked and sealed, I love the looks you people give
The don'ts and did to shove this shit
Right your throat til' ''noes'' and ''please'' and ''G forbid''
The morning comes for everyone except the dead
So hope the sun is holding up or cover up
A golden gun will check your bed
[Verse 2]
The written will of a dead artist, with a wrinkles filled pen on it
And my single thrill with death was platonic
I planned on it, a black coffin with blank coverage and then offer
Some tracks from it, my wrapped conscience in wax, onyx
And bad thoughts that I can't conquer
They made me in his image, the savior complex
Then prayed for its lineage to raise their profit
But it's late for the kisses and lame ass sobbin'
Bedtime stories for genocided populations
Can't advise to top your faith in lands of violent occupations
Headlines hurry on echoes, lying cooperation
Jealous thriving corporations
Can't recite their confirmations
Can't provide a shot of patience
Can't retire from conversations
I need the morning to explain me the truth
Reach the formula of a saint in the booth
You blame it on me, I might blame it on you

[Verse 1]
I see myself inside your eyes, baby
That's not a compliment, I just saw ya crying lately
Adjust your confidence, it could suffer migraines, ay
We can conversate and leave a song of somethin' just playin'
You could tell me about your ambitions, you could tell me about your moves
I could tell you about my vision, I could tell you about my rules
I could tell from all this speaking you got demons right on cue
Come on, you can whisper, no one'll listen but this booth
It's so apparent that somebody hurt you
The figure of a parent that everybody worships
People'd start a war just to peek inside his wardrobe
But to me he's just an idiot, come on Lilith, make it work, love
I could sweeten all those pills you keep on taking for the stress
Pinky promise, I'll be honest, a snake bored of grass
A name for the cast, an aid for the quest -
I pray for the rest
[Hook]
We can keep a lie with love
That you are mine and I am yours
A feeble light will dye our core
A fear of dyin' will strike our corpse
A link will tighten, smite our force
A simple liking, why divorce?
We can keep a lie with love
That you are mine and I am yours
[Verse 2]
You're not the type for a walk inside the garden
More for the wine and stopped by the guards, they -
Hoped that your thighs would've borrowed them a child's lake
But a no is a right you shouldn't bother with the High Mate
Bottle with a nice taste, it's down to how you see it
You got up in my face and drowned in all its feelings
Your toss up, as I say, is down to how you flipping
And a gown would be a clowning image
You fought for independence, a God and got his vengeance
But along will come the entrance of the star the sun possesses
I'm certain you wanna be part of my reign
Serving as a queen as we start to debate
Smirk right on your lips, a bit smart, I might say
'Cause they took ya honor still, you'll still robbed of a name
So you want mine, don't ya?
Well, I won't stop ya
My former is like torment
So for you, do I love it?
[Hook]
We can keep a lie with love
That you are mine and I am yours
A feeble light will dye our core
A fear of dyin' will strike our corpse
A link will tighten, smite our force
A simple liking, why divorce?
We can keep a lie with love
That you are mine and I am yours
[Verse 3]
Did I ever tell you I never loved no one?
And no, you're not the exception, just another one
I can use at my discretion, when I'll muster want
You humans are so desperate for some crumbs of love
And I better go pick 'em just to feed 'em to pigeons
One stone, two birds, a fiend and a demon
You chose this road, appeal to my mission
You brought me a goal, a feel for completion
You yell this is gaslighting, never said you'd last, bite me
Should have read the fine print I typed in my handwriting
Your then signed deed, assigned it to L, like it?
Well, you've sided with me for a sign in hell, right here
Not gentle, not an angel anymore
So simple, can't be sentimental with any girl
And wherever you are, I hope you don't miss me
And I know there's no way you could ever forgive me, Lilith

[Verse 1]
You can keep ignorin' me, I'll always be around
I'll always be your lover even tho' I wanna shout
You act as a ghost over my shoulder now
Your mask that you imposed, how will I call it out?
We called and we laughed, now we cold and your breath -
Of your own on my neck, but your soul unattached
I'll cope with the fact that I hope for the past
To come back in a moment or flash
This feeling of emptiness lingers, ok
These drinks in my belly will filter your face
Miss seein' your friendly agenda, so they
Listen to melodies I had to go play
Cobain my brain for the art of music
More pain in my dome, it's all abuses
And it's all for music that Gio produces
And it's all for muses for old exuberance
And I feel like a loser
'Cause I keep doing songs for the girls I've been losing
But they're soulless and stupid and tone deaf and juve-
Nile and more or less exuding doubts
Bye bye, last words that I've ever heard
I'm high high, like a little bird and I'm all rebirthed
Never perfect, out of girlfriends and more important
I'm not endorsin' my poor focus
Oh, poor, poor Gio
I'll pour pour four
'Cause you're bore-bore-bored
And your own whole show
Got no co-host
And your hope so low
That you go record
In those lone four walls
And your portfolio
Got shit photos
And ripped old notes
We speak to those
Who miss control
And sniff their blow
Just to feel normal
[Hook]
I wanna know myself
Shake my hand and see the sky
Tell him it's been a ride
In the end it's alright
I wanna know myself
Cry when he smiles at me
We tried to see light
And my, will you side with me?
I wanna know myself
Shake my hand and see the sky
Tell him it's been a ride
In the end it's alright
I wanna know myself
Cry when he smiles at me
We tried to see light
And my, will you side with me?
[Verse 2]
Self aware to the bone, I'll be dead in my home
I've been stacking up stamina, stress and some clothes
I've seen devils keep laughing and havin' a toast
And tip tapping on toes on the mat by the door
While I'm better than some, man, I won't lie
I'm worse than my friends, and - oh, by the way guys
Don't grow attached, mine's not a whole life
So love while it last, when I'm gone don't cry
But you won't, right? Don't tell me you fell and you won't fight
Makes me mad I'm there while your throat tight
Little Mary had a lamb and she named it Gio, my -
God, does it matter if I'm locked in a cellar
Doing songs with these letters and these keys?
And the level that I reached is underwhelming to me
So I read it and take it all back to the lab and I make up a beat
And to Jade, I believe in those days we were little
I got some straight As, but I played for the streets
Never a criminal, painful to be and I pray for a seat
At the top of the world for the dirt in the nails of my feet
And the skrrt from the scale of my whip
I'll never see bills get paid by CDs
Evergreen skills underrated by me
Pacing these pills with scraping my skin
Faking being real to escape in my feels
It's day-to-day haven, behaving and chill
Grey to great Heaven, beheaded and killed
So it's one day at a time and I could fade in your eyes
And if you felt it then it happened, we connected our lives
We go after the credits and the premise of lies
Man we actually had it, happiness on our side
[Hook]
I wanna know myself
Shake my hand and see the sky
Tell him it's been a ride
In the end it's alright
I wanna know myself
Cry when he smiles at me
We tried to see light
And my, will you side with me?
I wanna know myself
Shake my hand and see the sky
Tell him it's been a ride
In the end it's alright
I wanna know myself
Cry when he smiles at me
We tried to see light
And my, will you side with me?

Sidereus Nuncius

[Verse 1]
They told me I'd be nothing
Lonely, pills popping
You might feel like jumping and there's no one to stop it
You're still cold, fuck it
Strings hold puppets, so the noose will tighten
And the news will talk it
My pupils darken and it's futile to try
When the moon has risen in my lucid eyes
And the stars start to speak in their movement lies
Another gruesome guide, need an excuse to write
And I've been to hell and back, I've ringed the bell and ran
Until the swelling in my legs when they sting and get on land
Simple as the fact that I'm a circle with no end
Going back to where I came from, right where I stand
When I end up fightin' again another rhyme that I've said
Another try for the cash, it's gettin' right in my head
And my mind always felt so light and upset
These stars are in silence on my lap
[Hook]
You will listen to my words
You will live what I have wrote
You will speak and I will walk
You're so different from this world
I'll always be here just to see you shine
You'll see me die, I will just read what's in your mind
It's just a little different, little kid don't cry
It'll be alright
[Verse 2]
I know it's hard to deal with, trust me, I dealt with it endlessly
You're smart enough to kill it, just weaponize your enemies
And if they start with wittier shit, just amplify your laughing it's -
A must, your right, your ownership of havin' no fucks to give
''But what if they mess with me?''
A jab to put 'em fast asleep
Never be the first, but better be the last to leave
Never get discouraged if your face gets red and spills
Just know it's not a curse and the rest will feel
And I've seen the gates of Heaven, I've seen debates and stabbings
I split the fame and magic from the speech, the brain, the flashes
Despicable, this kid is no genius, he's vain of any passion
Displaying many lashings, disdain made me a bastard
But I guess you're not, 'cause people want you
How they want you and not for who you are
But if you listen to the stars they'll tell you will never fall
But for me they keepin' silent, which in time'll be so odd
[Hook]
You will listen to my words
You will live what I have wrote
You will speak and I will walk
You're so different from this world
I'll always be here just to see you shine
You'll see me die, I will just read what's in your mind
It's just a little different, little kid don't cry
It'll be alright
[Verse 3]
I know you're still a baby, I know you miss when mom and dad
Were used to kiss daily and you miss the stars
You used to share your dreams to lately
You feel too invasive, nobody even sees you
You're invisible, fading
A fallen angel, once love upon your name though
Those stars won't light your way home
Just write 'til the pain's gone, the days low and your face known
You say so then do it, the stakes so stupid
Just make your own ruling
And I've seen a sky so blue, my wings recite the due
My wisdom inside the fools, just wishing I could prove
On my grudge against the Heavens
That my blood will pass the message
Of my fall, the last of lessons
Revolves on aspirin tablets
Betrayals and lettin' go, these days it's all I know
I'm preparing you for when you meet 'em
You'll be reeking of the rage you cultivate
You'll keep on thinking somethings wired different in your soul
The stars can keep on singing all their songs
[Hook]
You will listen to my words
You will live what I have wrote
You will speak and I will walk
You're so different from this world
I'll always be here just to see you shine
You'll see me die, I will just read what's in your mind
It's just a little different, little kid don't cry
It'll be alright

[Verse 1]
One day at a time, been waiting that shift like a wage on the side
We're craving your shit, get that shades out my eyes
Concealin' my thoughts, guess I'll make up my mind
Can see from the blots, that's the stain of the nine
Been reaping the benefits since I was barely a child
Then mix it with ignorance, kids would compare me to God
The fishes were missin' man, wished I had 'em in tons
But government sucks, it got me in shock
The blocks don't recover, they cover 'em up
When a family starve, a wedding to charity jobs
You sharin' the failings of every heart, that ebony sun
Declare it a stab in the dark, replenish the madness
Resell it, that's cash for the trauma
Lots of press on my commas
And fuck it on the edge I still made the cut, you ever face the mud
Face to face, where you pay in blood? I seen amazing stakes
And I raised 'em up and I love fighting if I end up losing
I don't stop, fuck it and invent excuses
I'm a god stuck in the mass confusion
Like a gun burstin' at a mass on Tuesday
[Refrain]
I was always the last they choose, well
I'm not God-sent or immune to -
The pain and I say to you too, friend
That shit only makes us human
[Hook]
Fallen, fallen, I fa-a-all
Fallen, I've fallen and I fa-a-all
[Verse 2]
Don't ask me how, just ask me when
Don't pass me down as flashy rap
I'm spazzin' out on classic tracks
You hangin' out with classy trash
I'm on that last tier with the dirt and beggars
The ''hands back'' tier, on the verge of peasant
The "Man, I can't here" and never heard a blessing
Bear the lack tier that never search a message
In the years that went by always fear of a bad try
Nightmares of a bad life, why tear up if you can't cry?
Want a ear? you can have mine - literally
I adhere to my head's sign, little me
Would inherently hate me how incoherently I changed
How the little things phase me
And I fell from grace, man, I'm off that staple
I can confidently say that I'm not the savior
Not the hope for forgotten people, not the soul of rotten evil
Not the cope for grotesque freak shows, not what you paid for
The voice that speaks of myself, velcro face
The fallen angel
[Refrain]
I was always the last they choose, well
I'm not God-sent or immune to -
The pain and I say to you too, friend
That shit only makes us human
[Hook]
Fallen, fallen, I fa-a-all
Fallen, I've fallen and I fa-a-all
Fallen, fallen, I fa-a-all
Fallen, I've fallen and I fa-a-all

[Verse 1]
I rise from the dead, this shit is my curse
I swear, no rivals or friends could fight or match
My rhymes and raps, I thrive off that feel in a verse
I cannot sleep no mo', got too much work to do
So fill a pistol with lead, I grab on a pencil
The voices keep telling me "Go, GioGio, it's what you were born to do"
Telling you that since the day that I made Hello There
Checking my past, went insane and met Claire
Lending my share to the people that helped me
Actually left me empty, it's unhealthy I care
I know it's played, but I came from poverty
I do hope fame could create commodity
A coup, cocaine, overthrew this monarchy
In a booth go pray they don't shoot m-mon amies
Buh, Buh, grew in a place where it's dark, dark
Glued with the fakes in a car park
They call you their dawg, but it's more like bark, bark
They go at your core like Stark's heart
They gloat they're the goat, but nah, nah
Send me a shot, you'll regret it as soon as the gun clogs
[Interlude]
Nah man, come on, don't fuck with me
[Verse 2]
They fuck with my jam, I throw bucks in the air
To any of these rappers with necklaces
Stackin' their hats 'til they land on a cap that fits
Like I called crap a ship, I could hit half a lick
Packing my weaponry and leave your bodies bare
Buddy, I'm back, close your window
I'm into your coffin, yeah, just to lend you a memo
I'll laugh at them hoes, cops and squares
I could chill in the scenery, like a shill is into me
I could plead for some sympathy, but a beast is what I'm meant to be
Fucking this shit, I've been infinite
'Merican dream, I've been livin' it
Brought me some streams, call me river it's -
Worrisome, these counterfigures have never been figurin' me
Enterin' a loophole like Tiffany, end me a shooter, I'm tempted to be
You wanna attend a beat, another attempt at me?
A trend, it seems, I think a ''beat'' I'll give, in the literal sense, I mean
But I'm done with these enemies
Dummies and manic fits
Money and lacking peace
Love me or rap it bitch
Call it my rapid skills
Copy and let it build
Tall me with record deals
[Verse 3]
And I could tell you about the days I had that beef with my mama
"Fuck you, bitch" I scream louder
"Why did I have a child?" you answer
But that shit had me somber
I know dad hates you and he owes you some dollars
We're in need of bills while we peel at each other
And my brother was always in the picture
'Cause I'm calmer, but now he calls you a bitch
So we bitchin' for hours, I feel like
My sins are gonna fill up the shower
I'm gonna come out of it filthier than power
So all I have now is a pad and a pen
And I write about my shack of regrets, alright
From the times I had a crush for Claire and my ex, oh my
Who would have ever known I'd say it in rhymes, alright
I know I'm skinny and weak, but I came for the fight, ok
That one time, I didn't know the name of the guy, ha
I wanna say thank you 'cause you gave me this light
While I was cryin' whisperin' ''one day at a time'', oh

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse]
I fell, but now I guess it's the time to get up
Wish me dead, then read well what I titled the track, huh
I like when I reach balance, but I don't like it as much as the landing
And if I have mean friends, give me whatever you got
It's one day at a what, wait, again?
It seems like yesterday - excuse the pun
I was having just a hell of a time
And if I wasn't made for Heaven then Elvis decides
Oh, and hell, I gotta thank you for mine
It was a blessing in hindsight, like glasses for my pride
I got too set on my I's, huh
But it seems when I actually try to, I just end up in a tight spot
I left a mark like an eye dot
Tell (*****) that I severed that bond
If she wanna be my friend she'll have to be better than throwing threats at a wall
Am I getting stressed? Not at all
I'm just happy I'm getting content for the next installment of my fucking half-assed job
I couldn't sell what I'm not, then I'd be a laughing stock
Tell 'em in a song, then send 'em my diss as the cherry on top
Think you can mess me up? You couldn't press me
The only thing that's close to it is I'm a bomb and you just set me off
Go get your refund, motherfucker, I ain't dead
Just my veins bled, blank stare, I barely had me sent
I don't blame many men, but I pray for 'em
'Cause trust me, I know that not one of 'em angels in Heaven does
And you say I never care enough, you don't get it
I ain't never gave a fuck
You couldn't say the same, you scared or some?
Got you lames in Satan's clutch
I'm the best 'cause I said so, what?
Just argue with me, all it does is augment me
I love discussing especially when it involves brawling imme-
Diately, I'll pinch salt in Gandhi's iris
I'll sing a song to Marlee Matlin
And admittedly, I'm not as hard as y'all would picture me
But if you thought I'd let someone off that easily
I realized I was photogenic when I cut 'em out the frame
Better change your millimeters, your best shot ain't hitting me
Yeah, I'm back like I'm Lazarus, suicide attempt got me attention
But I never wanted to impress no one or asked for their stamp of a-pproval
Mostly gotten truthfully only right after I had 'em tensing up
Misery loves company, so bitches love Giovanni
But thinking of something, that thing just got to me
Since this time it's not my fault, you divas must feel lonely without me
So Misery, start comforting 'em
I merely stopped worrying about what other people might see in me or start noticing
It's not that y'all suck, I'm just a chauvinist
They think they're dope, I show 'em this
My needles are connected by a thread on a sewing kit
My songs have made me no promo
So ironic how Carefree's my logo
Yeah, let's do it again, it's one day at a time
And Lucifer's back after some said that he died

I Don't Die

[Verse 1]
No matter how much shit I've gotten into
I never killed no one or cocked a pistol
It's not an admission that I'm soft or wish for
Wisdom in times violence is not so sinful
I've been giving no fucks for what's the minimum
I don't even have some if I felt like giving 'em
If you wanna kill me, you better get in line
My ego's so big I cannot die
But it doesn't bother me
I've got so much shit I'm done with modesty
I'm constantly under policies, what an oddity
All that think offin' me is a walk in the park, it's not
'Til I'm ending my run, the mic is hanged up
And it's time for me to say goodbye and let go
And I'll let y'all win, the debt is sealed
'Til I come back with a track as big, all you can gather is
[Hook]
I don't die (What?)
(Doesn't matter how hard you try)
I don't die (Yeah)
(I'll always be the one that's left alive)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (What?)
(Doesn't matter how hard you try)
I don't die (Yeah)

I don't die (Woo)

I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die
I don't die
I don't die
I don't die
[Verse 2]
You're only in a mob if stopped by a crowd
Whoever's feeling royal is getting shot in the crown
If you wondered if I'd stop
You got a better chance at finding a new job
If you grew hobbies you'd do more profits than bloggin' 'em out
I'm insulting and loud
There's always something to consult me about
I'm sick of talking, these conversations brought me nothing but punching your mouth
And more often than not, they lodge me in a spot that's inoperable
Back me off it, half these nominees account to jack
If I ain't crunch out raps, I gave the wrong impression (Better yet)
I give a fuck you're platinum
Try to jump when I break up both your legs
A sore throat is the only way you're strapped
'Til I go from Satan to a wavering fad, I-
[Hook]
I don't die (What?)
(Doesn't matter how hard you try)
I don't die (Yeah)
(I'll always be the one that's left alive)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (What?)
(Doesn't matter how hard you try)
I don't die (Yeah)
(I'll always be the one that's left alive)
I don't die (Woo)
I don't die, I don't die, I don't die, I don't die
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die
I don't die
I don't die
I don't die
[Verse 3]
Wanna measure to me? I'll fucking laugh at you
Get dragged in a battle when you ain't half of me
If it's anatomy, that's defeat
Grab on the mic and show you you're not a synonym for menacing
Think you'll settle for second place
I string words together to attract some hate
Doesn't matter how many props I get
They'll always wait for me to botch a step
If they want it, they got it next
'Til I'm at the albums fail
May they never forget that I gave 'em hell
I gave 'em every little thing they expect to sell in every record, track
My track record helps
And to any of these rappers, come at me
I've been tempted to let loose if any of you motherfuckers would get that
(I don't die)
Then really I don't need to do anything
[Hook]
I don't die (What?)
(Doesn't matter how hard you try)
I don't die (Yeah)

I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (What?)
(Doesn't matter how hard you try)
I don't die (Yeah)
(I'll always be the one that's left alive)
I don't die (Woo)
I don't die, I don't die, I don't die, I don't die
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die (I don't die)
I don't die
I don't die
I don't die
I don't die

[Verse 1]
I never love, I'm afraid
It's a common mistake
I'm drawn to the same comments
They keep vomiting feelings, pop-pop, stop it
I see nothing but neat bodies and meaningless talking
I figure it's not for me, think it's ridiculous with bulking
Egos and nihilism, fuck we living if lives different?
It's something I said? I've been such a pessimist
Endulging the past, I've seen a thousand narcissist loving themselves
But never others, if my heart is nothing but pulsing arteries
But sometimes, I think that my worst side is the best
The way I'm wired got me trained right, but often I think that I'll die alone
[Hook]
If you love me, there's nothing there
No no, no no, no no, no no
If you love me, there's nothing there
No no, no no, no no, no no
[Verse 2]
It's not that I don't like nobody
It's not worth it in my eyes to love 'em
Well, how about (what?)
Ain't ringing a bell, I was down on luck
I've been shifty as hell, but never drunk on love
If you ain't counting lust, and ever since I've been dodging touch
Can't love someone with a logic trust
I'm such a hypocrite, stuck in different type of feelings and thinking that
Dionysus must be in us, crumbs of intrigue, a subpoena
If people can't love then so be it
'Cause often being alone is so freeing
When you leave can you close me up?
With a key, that's our secret
[Hook]
If you love me, there's nothing there
No no, no no, no no, no no
If you love me, there's nothing there
No no, no no, no no, no no
[Verse 3]
I wanna be shaken, wanna feel frail 'til the wind can break me
I wanna be human, see you in my illusions
'Til I can't discern the truth and
I wanna be yours, I wanna be forced by a simple impulse
And live on beliefs that are meagre but easier than stinking of the reek of remorse, huh
I wanna feel halved, wanna meet something that feels what I felt
I wanna be moven, be new with each new movement
'Til you'll consume my moon and
I'm lost in my own seeking, I'm starting to believe
If people can't love then so be it
But being my own is no privilege
[Hook]
If you love me, there's nothing there
No no, no no, no no, no no
If you love me, there's nothing there
No no, no no, no no, no no

[Hook]
"Don't love nobody else", she said to me
I think she's got what's left of me
But I gave it to her
"Don't love nobody else", she said to me
I think she's got what's left of me
But I gave it to her
[Verse 1]
And everything I did was to keep us together
But distance must've twisted our wishlist forever
Your winnings over slit wrists are risky, but
Jesus did it make just tear up to get pics of that, I-
Was little and you used it against me to get an
Ego as big as your bruises and scratches, you practi-
Cally forced me to stay confused, but there in my head
Pretend that you cared to screw with it, yeah
Then it took me a whole year just to cool with the idea
That if you could've, you would've, plus you too were too real
No matter how much you got called abusive, it was clear
To me, you were doing it so ruthlessly, fear
Was what I felt usually dear
And if you told me you loved me I would've believed, it was new to my ears
So I went and fell through, you were beautifully keyed up
Prolly 'cause I was in your room viewable scared
[Hook]
"Don't love nobody else", she said to me
I think she's got what's left of me
But I gave it to her
"Don't love nobody else", she said to me
I think she's got what's left of me
But I gave it to her
[Verse 2]
And everything I did was to keep us together, a genius
You knew exactly which weakness to head for
I'm impressed, not many could bring me to hate 'em
Especially if friends and especially since then
When you sent me them messages and got that shit back
How it felt to get a taste of your medicine injected?
You made me get angrier, then the feeling is switched back
In our singing, we were hitting the same ass inflection
And it dawned on me, you were the culprit of my messes
You taught a kid what stupid and depressed mean
Suddenly, I was using your mood swings and mean tactics
They rubbed off on me, you did and, still, that's it
We're even seeing how my plan was to keep us together
In the end things, my friendships'll be the victims of that, but
We'll never speak again and it's deep in our damn hearts
But look at what happened between us has left us
[Hook]
"Don't love nobody else", she said to me
I think she's got what's left of me
But I gave it to her
"Don't love nobody else", she said to me
I think she's got what's left of me
But I gave it to her

[Intro]
I need a break from everything before I break my vertebraes
I love this shit, I can't just walk away from it
La la, la la la la, la la
[Verse 1]
The rap was a nice excuse to go public
With a lot of shit I got bottled, but man, hone-stly
I feel like my whole promise was thrown out the windows
As soon that fucking intro I wrote got chosen to blow on it
And fuck, it has worked for me, but these verses are no-goes
And I became so worried of 'em when I mention a person
And hope they don't hear it, or maybe do
'Cause more than my image I'm only holding my dick
Before I get shown the door up there
But I'm never biting my tongue, I couldn't lie if I wanted
So if I tell you me and (*****) have each other's privates on contact
I can't imagine the amount of trouble and hoes I'm in
You do what I do like I told Simon, but more importantly
I'd like 'em to know I just don't write a song that I don't like
Just to get woahs by some clowns who don't like me
And whether you think ever I'll let up, go on hiatus
The answer is in my middle finger which is now raising
[Hook]
I need a break from everything before I break my vertebraes
I'm never gonna hear the end of every little thing I said
I think the more I try to compromise, the fucking less I get
It's time I packed my things and left before this thing leaves me a mess
But I cannot lie, I love this shit
I can't just walk away from it
I gave it all you all, no take backs, bitch
This is the only thing I know that I may just need
[Verse 2]
So if you still want it, you'll still get it
I'm sicker than doing open mics in one degree weather
I'm wondering if rap was more than what I thought it could lead me to
And I should stop before I get the short end of the stick's cracked up
Everything I felt is in my pad, still better than venting to whoever I can
'Til that shit bring ene-mies or gets weapo-nized against me
Or half the shit I stress about just passes past me
And it's common I'm in drama and get comments
But recently I feel like there's no reason to reason with me reasonably
How can you get caught up when you're the one speaking on me?
'Cause I've been writing schemes on everybody that's scheming on me
And to be more fair to you, I've been saying I don't care you do
But don't push it, 'cause when push comes to shove
I'm not afraid to undo any mental growth that I've done
And show you pussies how much stuff I can get to know about y'all
[Hook]
I need a break from everything before I break my vertebraes
I'm never gonna hear the end of every little thing I said
I think the more I try to compromise, the fucking less I get
It's time I packed my things and left before this thing leaves me a mess
But I cannot lie, I love this shit
I can't just walk away from it
I gave it all you all, no take backs, bitch
This is the only thing I know that I may just need
[Verse 3]
Show me what you got, just blow it out the water
I hope to god it's worth it when I word it in a chorus
I bet you hope I put your fucking name in a song
So you can call me unstable and justify blame into faults
I'm getting tired of these lyrics
Having to fight everytime there's a rhyme on my sibilings
Everytime I try to shift my personal life into a verse I get survivor's guilt
While every single of these guys tries to pry in my business
Who I fuck with and who I fucked already, you dumb?
You think all this stuff is what'll bust my friendships?
Or how about how I struggle with stuff, I bet it's
A real distraction from the fact your couple's ending
I'm just dying to retire at this point, I quit
I done did enough shit in one lifetime to keep
Putting myself in such sit-uations, my god, why don't I just dip?
And shit, it's been real nice, I won't say sike - I did
[Hook]
I need a break from everything before I break my vertebraes
I'm never gonna hear the end of every little thing I said
I think the more I try to compromise, the fucking less I get
It's time I packed my things and left before this thing leaves me a mess
But I cannot lie, I love this shit
I can't just walk away from it
I gave it all you all, no take backs, bitch
This is the only thing I know that I may just need

The Letter

[Intro]
*Yawn*
Yeah
Mh hm
My mothe-, my mother was scared-
[Verse 1]
My mother was scared of the rap I grew up on listening to
I doubt her, but damn, her head was the excuse I done flipped it into
The vinyls and scratch, right, it's again using a song as fixture or glue
Like it's gonna fish me a tune, huh
And I know in my head right, with chances of heart
That my momma gave that light to an asshole and not
A doctor, medic or god-be-damned a celebrity star
Just a cocky rebel, shock developed on relatives snobs
So clutch your balls, add a bunch of light insults
Some dumber rhymes, no consequences
Congrats, you got my songs
But to make it crunchy, test a little spice on top
Like making fun of dying motherfuckers
But respect the dead with just a rhyme or post
Hypocritical ignorant piece of - hey
In the ending tho', wish they will limit to piss on your grave
I can still see Gio sit in the kitchen and pray
Insult to injury tho', as I secretly bitch on the plate
[Hook]
I'm sorry momma, I never meant to be your spawn
And I know you'd love the drama if you'd read this song
All I ever wanted from you was to greet your son
And now I grew into a problem for my evil thoughts
So I wrote you a letter in hopes you could shred it
My voice is the evidence of poison I inherited
Every mess that I've done, always yelling you're done
And if my dad is a scum it's all thanks to my mom
[Verse 2]
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say nothing
My mom was basically the opposite, a basin of gossip, hate
And in case of a crossing, her nails like facing the crossing
Of Wolverine and a cheetah, no wonder she'd see me in tears, huh
Prolly wishes the Grim Reaper could show me the door
While she switches her mean features for Tony Awards
Notorious whore - shh, throw in the towel
Don't talk to her in tongues or talk to her at all, but
I recognize that half the time that someone ask me nice, I'm just an ass
And that's asinine, but then again, that other half the time
It lets me pass a guy that's much of an ass as I
So thank you mom, very kind
Your angry son - then I sign
I don't know why people got my back always, they latch on me
"Gio, your last song's amazing, the one where you say something
About Satan or something, uhh, and hating your mo-
I'll save you the comments, but I play it like everyday
It's crazy, I love it"
[Hook]
I'm sorry momma, I never meant to be your spawn
And I know you'd love the drama if you'd read this song
All I ever wanted from you was to greet your son
And now I grew into a problem for my evil thoughts
So I wrote you a letter in hopes you could shred it
My voice is the evidence of poison I inherited
Every mess that I've done, always yelling you're done
And if my dad is a scum it's all thanks to my mom
[Verse 3]
To be honest with you, I wouldn't even call it abuse
But every thought it produced made me uncomfortable, rude
And it's not as common as you think or a product of views
To feel your mama's a nuke, straight coming at you
Pray mama's anew, day tomorrow's a loop
And in face of all of this music, I'd chalk it to a fluke
To say if you dropped this noon, your grave stop was mute
No embrace off from you, I'd still come at your fu-
But don't take it for granted, you were the one who raised me up
To be a pain in the ass when everyone would say it's fun
That I was basically dumb, socially inept from the start
I'll show 'em the best of my love - choking a brat in the mud
So whenever you need me, know I'm actually far
Don't pose you a question you know the answer to, Ma
Don't consult me or message, there's no patching this up
I just wrote you a letter, dear Mary, your son
[Hook]
I'm sorry momma, I never meant to be your spawn
And I know you'd love the drama if you'd read this song
All I ever wanted from you was to greet your son
And now I grew into a problem for my evil thoughts
So I wrote you a letter in hopes you could shred it
My voice is the evidence of poison I inherited
Every mess that I've done, always yelling you're done
And if my dad is a scum it's all thanks to my mom

[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Have you ever felt so apathetic with everything?
Like time is the interval between the breaths that you're inhaling in
You don't care about caring and your passion's irrelevant
You're just waiting to die, so you take matters in your hands, I did
I've always been the best out the bunch
They expect me to function without a step out the margin
I've got a heck of a hunchback from carrying it all
And man, I swear, sometimes I wish that I could just walk away from it all
But I can't and every friendship I got into is a rock in shoes
I could never get rid of, it's just written in every song
And it seems like at the end I got a feeling it's just me that's sad at all
So let it be, fuck 'em all, I'm-
I'm never gonna jog along, you can chalk me up to the devil
I got enough of this stress, I'm gonna bust out the kettle
I got a plan 'cause, man, I'm done with balancing acts
And I forget, last thing that needs to be said before I go, it's
[Hook]
Remember me forever, the light in the dark
Just know that I'm looking down on you in the skies by the sun
And if you ever feel down, I want you smiling and stop
'Cause I'll always be there in your mind and your hearts
Remember me forever, the light in the dark
Just know that I'm looking down on you in the skies by the sun
And if you ever feel down, I want you smiling and stop
'Cause I'll always be there in your mind and your hearts
[Verse 2]
I keep seein' em
The cuts on my arm and they're quite bleeding
Envisionin' my father's face as our eyes meet
My mother screaming, erratic breathing
I tremble thinking the atmosphere's below freezing
I'm shaking, their tone scared
There ain't this much to say besides the fact that they all care
I'm hazy, stray thoughts scarce
Same old stance even with my head goin' in straight code red
I pace my own breaths, lay down on the couch as I try to sleep
My mind is racing, my tears dry and my sighs are weak
I'd like to speak, but ain't no right thing that could find my lips
Aside the signs I'm ill, yeah, just stand by me when my time is ceased
Remember me forever, I'll live in your thoughts
I believe in you, believe in my songs
I'll leave 'em as the feeling of dawn
But the minute that the minutes go on, it's morning
I open my eyelids, the windows are shut and
[Hook]
Remember me forever, the light in the dark
Just know that I'm looking down on you in the skies by the sun
And if you ever feel down, I want you smiling and stop
'Cause I'll always be there in your mind and your hearts
Remember me forever, the light in the dark
Just know that I'm looking down on you in the skies by the sun
And if you ever feel down, I want you smiling and stop
'Cause I'll always be there in your mind and your hearts
[Verse 3]
I wake up as always, ain't nothing changed but the stares of the public
I play it dumb, there ain't no need to aggravate on the subject
What's done is done and I can't take away what's spreading about me
What I can do is go and straighten out somethin'
I gave everything to everyone
I never asked for nothing in return except for averages
And this is for every fucking kid who spend their days inside their bedroom just
Wishing they were dead and they feel trapped, they have no parents, let 'em just
Remember me forever, the light in the dark
Whatever the weather, whenever and ever
Whether you're fucked, or you just need someone to tell 'em they better get lost
In any rap until I'm done and I'm gone, in every song
If I died on that day, I'da never gotten to say to you all
Fuck you all, but I love you the same
For any karma I gained, the hate I got
And then the fall off with this mock-up of Satan
I'll never stop, in case I'll call on a favor
[Hook]
Just remember me forever, the light in the dark
Just know that I'm looking down on you in the skies by the sun
And if you ever feel down, I want you smiling and stop
'Cause I'll always be there in your mind and your hearts
Remember me forever, the light in the dark
Just know that I'm looking down on you in the skies by the sun
And if you ever feel down, I want you smiling and stop
'Cause I'll always be there in your mind and your hearts

Goodbye
02:02
|

[Verse]
When I was a kid I shut my heart
And I suffered much
I just figured no one could touch me
If there's none to hurt
So I began to suck it up, basically get my thoughts undone
See how it takes before I'd just stop to love
Nineteen years later, I write my life in a paper
And it feels that line has been drawn where I meet my likings and pain, I-
Would like to inspire to be greater, at this rate I'll die without shame
But also without enticing a change that could define a new era, yeah
I dream but forget to wake up, sleep 'til the night is daytime
Think 'til my head is burning, feel 'til my chest is yearning
I've seen the hurting bloom, I've seen a flower die
I don't think what's certain's true, I keep a doubter's mind
Last thing for anyone that needs to hear it - in any lyric
Love yourself and not your mirrors
Because in all my living I've been scared of feeling dissonant
In all my existence I've been seeking for a reason
'Cause I mean it when I say-
[Bridge]
When I was a kid I shut my heart (To you)
And I suffered much
And I suffered much
When I was a kid I shut my heart
And I suffered much
[Outro]
(It's goodbye) Until the next time that I see you
(It's goodbye) Yeah
(It's goodbye) Mhmhmh
(It's goodbye) Until next time
