By A Thread Lyrics by Sniper J

2018

[Hook: Red Wolf]
Everything is tough for me
Rough for me, I feel so dead
I can see my future’s hanging by a thread
I’m hanging by a thread

[Verse 1: Jay 1:40]
Barely still here
I’m barely still breathing
The odds are stacked against me constantly has got me leaning
I been putting more than extra into all my songs
But I still feel lurking from behind that’s caused by all these demons
How much more can I do to make sure I succeed?
Never peace inside my head new problems every week
If there was a pill for this then I’d be gone in weeks
I’m at a loss for words I just need someone to come please, yeah
I keep changing in my head
Trying to be happy but keep wasting all that’s left
Not making enough gotta be patient with the checks
I need this music thing to work I’m barely hanging by a thread

[Hook: Red Wolf]
Everything is tough for me
Rough for me, I feel so dead
I can see my future’s hanging by a thread
I’m hanging by a thread

[Verse 2: Sniper J]
Somebody told me that I always had it in me
Somebody told me "stay calm" when it's windy
Somebody told me keep your head up, never let up
And forget all the people that hate and that somebody is me
See, I always had the confidence while as a kid
Rappin' on tracks was always a passion, I had to act on it
Glad that I built a buzz but the sad part is I can't handle
The repercussions that's handed while bein' a fuckin' outcast
And I'm battelin' anxiety each day
So I spit these lyrics hopin' someone could relate
I'm on a never ending search for peace for pete's sake
Sometimes I feel like all I really need is change
'cause this don't make no sense, all the voices in my head
Tellin' me that life would be so much better if I were dead
And I try to stay positive but they got me mislead
So I'm tryna stay strong, holdin' on by a thread

[Hook: Red Wolf]
Everything is tough for me
Rough for me, I feel so dead
I can see my future’s hanging by a thread
I’m hanging by a thread

[Verse 3: Sniper J]
When you're the only one who believes in you, it's hard to maintain
Especially when no one else is doing the same thing
I pray to got no one feels what I'm feelin’ everyday
'cause if they did then the whole world would be insane
Live in a place where everybody complains
So I try to keep my distance, they try to put me to shame
'cause I'm doin' what I like to
Alone without a doubt
Rap's my form of expression, to them it's somethin' to laugh about
Fuck it man, I feel like I'm psychotic, my god
I'm alive but it feels like I've died when I started to write
Close friends lost, was actin' so suspenseful
Am I the devil? No one to vent to so I grab the pencil
Music's the death of me but it's also the birth of me
Insecurities burden me, so y'all will see the worst of me
And lately all my joy is mislead, so I'm tryna stay strong
Holdin' on by a thread

[Hook: Red Wolf]
Everything is tough for me
Rough for me, I feel so dead
I can see my future’s hanging by a thread
I’m hanging by a thread

[Verse 4: Jay 1:40]
Why you still here?
I thought that I had gotten rid of you
Scared of doing different things and then I later ridicule
Myself for not, being open act like I’m not in the mood
The pressure and anxiety combined I’m dying in intervals
The very existence of your being is a perplexity
You follow me always but nobody sees that you’re next to me
You tell me, to give up everyday
Knowing it’s worth everything
Blinding my vision guiding me into a blurred hell creeping
Closer and closer as the days will go by
Finding it pointless to continue wilful cries
You make me sick with the way you
Indulge lies
If you were real then you’d be charged with unfathomable crimes
I’m trying, to keep waiting while I get
The help that might find
What is making all these threats
Inside of my mind
‘Cause he is breaking my intents, send help
I’m barely hanging by a thread
