I can see why it's difficult to stay with someone like me
I won't hold it against you if you need to leave
I only needed to say, oh

For all my downtown homies who know my pain
I feel like me and this high might still connect, why?
I let that powder claim me (goddamn)
For all the nights that the needle called my name
If you see me on the corner, tell 'em I'm still the same, why?
They mad they ain't hooked
They mad they still sober
Her man at home trying hard to cope
He simply can't satisfy his hunger
We still slaves to the high
Yeah, we still slaves to the high

I only needed to say
I've held you closer in the darkest way
Since the beginning
I won't hold it against you if you need to leave
I only needed to say, oh

I be floating through the city lights dazed
That ride, ocean side windows glazed
She studying hard to become a nurse
Last month I borrowed cash for her tuition
Young and we faded
We never gonna make it
I just grabbed another bag to escape the regret
Lit one up to the sky
The rush is in my veins
Woke up and chased the high
No matter how hard they pray
We never gonna make it
I only needed to say
How you feeling right now?
Let me see your lighters in the air
Let me see you lose it in this motherfucker
How you feeling? How you feeling?
How you feeling in this motherfucker?
One thing you can't do is save me now
You can't stop this spiral now
Man, it's way too deep, it's way too deep
It's way too deep, you can't reach me

I only needed to say
I've held you closer in the darkest way
Since the beginning
I won't hold it against you if you need to leave
I only needed to say, oh
