LEFT 4 DEAD Lyrics by Ryan Oakes

SLUMBERLAND

2020

[Verse 1]
I think it's long overdue for me to start with a flex
I had a really bad month but got a couple of checks
Totaled to seventeen thousand, it wasn't the best month
That I've had this year, but I'll do better the next
These labels hit me up like they were down to invest
I said I'll break your bank, and they were looking perplexed
You get a buzz, and they all start biting like insects
There ain't a number they can throw that's leaving me impressed
Manifested and I did it on my own
Brought the day ones with me, I was keeping them afloat
Saw something special, I knew they were gonna blow
Now it's like incest how they be fuckin' with the bros, like woah
That's way too far, let's slow down the hometown
Is slowly becoming a ghost town, the low down
Is they wouldn't be there to hold down when I broke down
So now when I see them I throw down
I prayed every single night that I would get my break
Staying up late, never took no breaks
Feeling like I been running stuck in place
Every right turn there was ten mistakes
I knew that I had whatever this shit takes
Never look back, way too much is at stake
They're looking at me like I'm digging my grave
As long as I'm alive I ain't gonna play safe

[Chorus]
My heart froze over, all I feel is dread
I'm growing colder, hanging by a thread
I try to fight it, all I see is red
The truth is blinding, they left me for dead

[Verse 2]
I think it's long overdue for me to quit being modest
I been a vet inside a game where they treat me like a novice
Man, y'all done taxed your worth, I'm here you give you an audit
You'll get a cold shoulder while I'm becoming the hottest
I never broken a promise so when I said I'ma blow
I ain't doubt it for a second, it's just something I know
The same people that were hating on me ages ago
All peaked back in high school and now they in a plateau
While I grow with no limits, no caps, no peaks
Used to run from it, now I embrace my freak
Of nature self when I been rapping on beats
Need a world record for the most killstreaks, I'm weak
People text me knowing we don't speak
Wanting in now 'cause they know they've peaked
They see me glowing up and their futures bleak
I been playing hide and seek 'cause I cried
While they all stabbed my back, and they lied
Giving me thoughts to pull suicide
I ain't have nobody there by my side
While I'm sitting thinking of taking my own life
All I had left to do was just try
Everyone doubted, I would confide
Inside of myself, my heart was my guide
Look at me now, bitch I'm doing just fine

[Chorus]
My heart froze over, all I feel is dread
I'm growing colder, hanging by a thread
I try to fight it, all I see is red
The truth is blinding, they left me for dead
