Official Lyrics[]
Charlie Scene: Why do I keep running from the person I'm becoming?
I spent all my money, but I'll be happy when I die
It's game over, 10 a.m. and I'm not sober
Trying to keep my composure so I could be happy when I die
I'm tryna make me a mil', but shit, I can't pay my bills
'Cause I be craving 'em pills, they say I'm crazy as hell
I need a place I can chill, stay away in the hills
I'll catch a case if you will 'cause I ain't taking no ill
Make sure your seatbelts are fastened, I ain't the cat you imagine
'Cause I'm sociopathic and a little old-fashioned
Like a young Charles Manson and a recent Ted Danson
Charlie Scene and Funny Man: Try to cause a distraction; Charlie, wait, what happened?
Charlie Scene: So what had happened was I never really gave a fuck
Plus, I was dangerous when buzzed off a case of Bud
Money? I don't make enough, won't hesitate to take your drugs
The real you's just fake as fuck; before I die, I'll take the dub
Why do I keep running from the person I'm becoming?
I spent all my money, but I'll be happy when I die
It's game over, 10 a.m. and I'm not sober
Trying to keep my composure so I could be happy when I die
Funny Man: Down the 101 with no one inside my ride
Wasting away, lost my baby and don't know why
But I've been faded like all my life
Sometimes I question if the pain's ever worth my high
I talk to God, but he ain't ever answer
I really wish I had a reason to ask for some peace back
'Cause in my life, I don't relax
A heart attack, I feel my love is starting to relapse
Charlie Scene: Why do I keep running from the person I'm becoming?
I spent all my money, but I'll be happy when I die
It's game over, 10 a.m. and I'm not sober
Trying to keep my composure so I could be happy when I die
But I'll be happy when I die
