(Intro Tom Pepe)
Cause it feels like life's wasting me
Yeah, uh, yo

(Tom Pepe 1st verse)
I've been high for two weeks
Every half moon it just repeats
This haunted feeling in my brain makes me keep running
Now I feel the after effects of trying cocaine and OC
When your on it I got no pain, I'm so free
But when you come down, I need the whole world to hold me
My true self acts like you don't even know me
I take advantage of other people so much I need a trophy
My nights a blur these days feel rather ghostly
My life's a joke, hard days choke me
Blame the flames living like an arcade game, hard to explain
My art comes out of my Arteries part of my veins
Oxygen drains to my brain til there's nothing left
But think about other people judge me too much I get fucking stressed
So now I'm depressed questioning death unhealthy, self obsessed and not wealthy
So lost in being alive that the motherfucking gods couldn't even help me

(Chorus)
And everything seems fake to me
I wonder what it takes to be
A great MC, cause
It feels like life's wasting me
And everything seems fake to me
I wonder what it takes to be
A great MC, cause
(Tom Pepe 2nd Verse)
24 hours what the fuck am I doing
Using drugs, make my pyramids turn into ruins
Tryna be the truest
Take my pain turn it into music
Mistakes might break us but that's what makes us human
When I was younger didn't do as much consuming
My mind is blooming
Tryna find these treasures like the temple of doom and
The only one who ever seen the dark side of the moon
I'm bi-polar stop in December start in June
When all you care about leaves your heart as a tune
Take a break from reality, it's hard to resume
Tell myself I'll be outta here soon, howling at the moon
I feel like this life is my wife left me now I scowl at the groom
Prowling the room, heart of a lion kill me hear the growls from my tomb
Stuck in my place like a scarecrow
Can't let this straightened arrow tryna kill two birds chasing sparrows
The essence of my soul is similar to ancient Pharaoh's

(Chorus)
And everything seems fake to me
I wonder what it takes to be
A great MC, I'm telling you, it feels like life is wasting me
Wasting me, life is wasting me
It feels like life is wasting me
Uh, yeah
(Tom Pepe 3rd verse)
Everyday is great so I accelerate my heart rate
Celebrate the pain elevate the game, levitate my brain
I can tell the fakes and the lames selling cake and taking aim
Trying to make a name
I hate them for acting cocky, but I'm actually the same
But the fact is that my heart truly captivates your brain
Getting stoop is hella fun, dope is actually strange
You start drinking at the party, end up asking for change
Trapped in these games
Lying to my mum like I've actually changed
But going sober through a day feels like I'm trapped in a cage
By myself I'm amazed by what I attached to a page
The way I'm running for myself like it's laps in a maze
That's why I've been on coke, weed and dizz for the past few days
I think you can find he's witnessed no more crave
When I was young how I acted much ahead of my age
Trust myself in my element, front of the stage
But while I'm talking myself
I see that nothing has changed
I used to be much stronger take the bus in the rain
But now my day to day feels like I'm digging my own grave
And I'm just telling everybody keep your heads on straight
Cause

(Chorus)
And everything seems fake to me
I wonder what it takes to be
A great MC, cause
It feels like life's wasting me
And everything seems fake to me
I wonder what it takes to be
A great MC, cause it feels like, it feels like..
