[Verse 1]
Huh
Let me talk how I would talk to myself
The key to the lock at the top of the shelf
Leads to what's lost in the dark in the depths
The smell of garlic and death
Awkwardly step and the farther I get
The more I pray, the holy father forgives me
'Cause when it's in me, it's in me
I envy the pennies that's kept in the jar
The sign of patience, comfortability
I'm far from it all
I tossed in the yard
It cost me an arm, I saved you one so I could write you this song
I hope you like it like I like being wrong
When I'm too perfect, I'm nervous
I know the right answers, I say it on purpose
My whole life has been a test, I bubble "C" when I'm guessin'
You can see when I'm stressin'
Mind went blank since seen black DVD's on the dresser
Never the same
Wasn't to blame
I hope you know it
If I could go back in time, I'd throw it, so heroic
But this not a Disney movie, mistakes, must live through it
When stakes this high, the knife can't cut through it
Just four pounds of pressure'll do it, yeah
[Break]
Let me talk how I would talk to myself
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Let me talk how I be talking alone
Can a house be a home when there's nobody home?
Amount that was blown didn't account for all the counseling, clothes
Covered the doubt and insecurities of fully grown men
Now pull him on in
We got him in the cycle of sin
See, life doesn't end
After you're detached from the flesh
Grand rising again
Not enlightened, then you'll try it again
More likely to win
This time, your anxiety's here
To help you navigate through all the wicked hiding within
But I'm not one preach
Ask me what I see when I sleep
Alarm clock saved me more than the preacher
I'm just absorbing and pouring more than they gave me
'Cause I'm more for the people
Than the ones in suits, the corporate people
When they're informing, it's lethal
The shit that they be sayin', it seep through
Misery loves company, me too
Where the fuck does that leave me?
So now, I'm the one that feeling uneasy
I'm the one that's hurting people that's need me
With four pounds of pressure
[Break]
Yeah
Let me talk how I would talk to myself
Uh

[Verse 3]
Let me talk how I would talk when I'm talkin' 'bout death
Am I afraid of him? No
We sat down and had a few, but I made him pay for him own
And I toasted to life
Eye contact was holding me tight
And then he smirked and gave a look I didn't like
As though tonight was the night
First thought, okay, call on the Lord
Last time I called, he didn't answer before
So with these hands, I'ma do it
I'm not a fighter but I balled up my fist
Before I striked him, heard a voice in the distance
Told me with poise to resist it
Instantly I came more to my senses
Some sort of post-nut clarity vision
I felt a very religious relief
Come across me crossing the street
Looked to my left, I seen death, and to my right, I seen Grief
A head-on collision
Or is it just a lesson to learn?
Hope God's tryna test me 'for he bless me, stressin' my nerves
My chest grew a burn
It soon became harder to breathe
I fall to my knees
I looked and all I saw was the reaper
He started repeating
A quote that told me I was the reason
It reminded me the finger that squeezed it
Four pounds of pressure
[Outro]
Let me talk how I would talk to myself
