White Dust/4nites

Lyrics

Verse 1
Been woke for four nights
Staring at my hands
White stuff on the counter
I don't like who I am
Dark smoke out my nose
Tryna hide my shame
I tell my mama "I'm good"
But I sound the same

Pre-Chorus
Can't keep calling in
Second time this week
Clock on the wall
Keeps looking back at me
I got a job to lose
And a soul to save
If I keep this up
I won't see my next day

Chorus
Been woke for four nights
Nobody knows
Been woke for four nights
I gotta let it go
Been woke for four nights
Trying to come back home
Been woke for four nights
But I can't do it alone

Verse 2
I laugh at the table
Then I lock the door
My sister sees my face
And she asks for more
I say "I'm tired, that's all"
She don't need the truth
I keep my poison close
Like it knows me too

Pre-Chorus
Can't keep calling in
Second time this week
Clock on the wall
Keeps looking back at me
I got a job to lose
And a soul to save
If I keep this up
I won't see my next day

Chorus
Been woke for four nights
Nobody knows
Been woke for four nights
I gotta let it go
Been woke for four nights
Trying to come back home
Been woke for four nights
But I can't do it alone

Bridge
If I tell the truth
Will they look at me the same?
If I clean this mess
Can I still say my name?
I'm tired of the lie
Tired of the floor
Tired of losing jobs
Tired of wanting more

Rap Outro
Eight jobs gone, I been counting them scars
Four nights up, looking out through the bars
Not the one they saw when I first came around
I got a baby in me tryna put me back down
So I’m folding these pills, throwing out the smoke
Calling my brother like, “Man, I need hope”
If I fall today, then I’m getting back up
'Cause I’m done being buried in what I was touched by
Been woke for four nights
But I’m reaching for light
Been woke for four nights
I’m choosing my life
