'On The Ground' M/V

Part 1 [Intro: Bless] One time for my girl tonight x3 Hey [Verse 1: Bless] Yeah Back from the dead with a mask You said I’m a lead accident Ask them to pray that this massacre isn’t made national Hazardous with it While I’m watching you, learning you Plotting not just to murder you Mass murderer heading backwards to show you the verdict Reverse it and leave you dead afterwards Do some division and then subtraction of friends happen For eleven years I’ve been having the perfect plan crafted I’m just a spirit, how can a mirror or chair match it? Accident killer, remember the burning and stabbing My actions are willing to speak Death is definitely the fraternal twin of my sleep And in my heart of hearts I know they’re on the lookout for me, but I can’t have it So with broken glass, I slash one last time to see if it even burns You gasp, and ask why I laugh, surrounded by broken mirrors and crash My only critic is God, but I’m living for Vale Nah, I’ll never cut again, but why won’t I look at myself? Now, I’m an animal in a cage unsure of myself Climbing this mountain to fight depression will kill in front of an audience Audible please, nah you started this [Hook 1: Bless] Seven years of bad luck Glass shatters on the ground Man, I feel I’ve had enough Another scar that has to heal Pop a clip in, let it bust Broken mirrors; metaphor for how I’m feeling There’s a bullet with your name on it x2 [Verse 2: Bless] Feeling so unapproachable now Close to my breaking point; baby, fall to your death Back’s to the wall, but I’m stacking up all them odds you could use The crash you recall was me falling The aftermath of my past was never an option I’m back, but it haunts me Hacking and coughing up blood Tell me who is more ignorant, you’re ignoring the world But you’re in for it, nothing’s more important Ensuring your death is certain according to me I’m luring and boarding you on a train to your downfall No D r e a m v i l l e See, I’m just Max Payne; I deal with the max pain Diving, trying to dodge every verbal shot sprayed My new condition is just you wishing I would die When I ride through here, listen I’ve got to figure out a way But with my mood, I’ll snap at any second Man, I’m out of ammunition, dying a musician, nah I’ve got to bring demented to another level I wish I would dare fall short There’s no way I will, even I tear us all apart [Hook 1: Bless] [Hook 2: Bless] No more burned bridges Look down from the ceiling, see yourself in the mirror Eyes wide; don’t you run away Eyes wide; don’t you run away x2 [Hook 1: Bless] Part 2 [Verse 3: Bless] Place me in front of mirror Show my reflection and imperfections Reckless at times, but cautious I never claimed to be flawless But often, I get this feeling often That there’s a spirit inside of me screaming kill them all When I just have too much on the line F school; out of sight and out of mind I’m just quiet, but not a mime Shhh, quiet; I think I’m running out of time All this thunder has me wondering How will things be fine with so much darkness still around Even when I talk, I sound alone Forget it, I’m walking Stalked by my conscience that’s constantly trying to off me Or am I just hearing voices and belong in the same padded room as Hannibal Grab him by the face-mask and tear it off Someone threw a flag, it cost me My first friend at five, Michael I am diabolic; the wick is lit can’t extinguish it Or distinguish me from my conscience Unless you have tried to speak with him Man, I have so much on my mind with no one to speak it to But as evil as he is, he listens When I’m about to blow my lid He pressed stop and told me vent, not to close my feelings in Let’s not start this again As much as I dislike people, and think of killing them, I wouldn’t If I can’t be a prisoner in my own mind, how could I last in a cell? I put the blade down in 2011 because someone special asked me to do so I meant a lot to them, but that died down, so who knows? Sometimes, I just want it all to be over There’s a chip on my shoulder the size of a giant boulder [Verse 4: Bless] But how long can you hold it? It’s only a matter of time before you start losing your mind You’re only growing older I’m the main reason you have no social life Approach the knife Let me show you how to grow closer to closure Knees buckling, back’s giving in He’s struggling; overheat till you bleed for me Release nothing but negative energy to kill everyone’s vibe Whether drinking or weed puffing The scene wasn’t intended to be as tough as it is I’m just playing the cards I was dealt You’re embarrassing Still carrying baggage that’s over ten years old if you bother to add it up Sooner rather than later, you will have to get over it Say goodbye to Aaliyah, Valeria, and Jalisa Hali, Chelsea, Marina, Ms. Berry and Stefanie Cause, I’m your destruction, I’m you If you don’t trust that it’s true, then either stand up for yourself and Aaliyah too Or crash Part 3 [Verse 5: Bless] I’m the angels in your life that Jesus has sent The reason you’re about start to ripping yourself apart When you’re just trying to repent Time to look yourself in the mirror, so don’t pretend Only a broken spirit, your heart has frozen again You never needed ish Come to think about it, the life that you live is a caged one So we’re starting over again You and I both know that it’s hopeless, but was there ever any hope for you to begin? I’m on hiatus for now, without a mirror to stare in I feel the monster inside of me, I’ve diminished the caring Finished preparing demons for all the misery carried now by my peers So imperfections will never be buried Looking back on my life, I never lost what I really loved But you made up for it with this lack of confidence from above All accomplishments of my past From surviving attacks, jumpings and stabbings are nothing more than ten memories laughed at I’m the one who can’t even stand to be friends with another person Or to admire my girlfriend This lack of a conscience hurts and I know it But still I lurk in the shadows beneath the surface just waiting for you to slip As if your gift is a curse, you did No better time than the present; a new Rolex for a gift Between Byron and Bless, no longer a difference I’m guessing low self-esteem plays a major part in my life every second But I love five of the eight that I mentioned I was never ashamed of what I became But look at what I’m becoming, forget the running tonight Just know that I’m gunning for every son or daughter that doesn’t have any confidence Coming from any corner of the Earth I get a daily reminder of my healing scars Feelings are out of the window, I can’t imagine the damage I’ve caused Tragic; with that, it’ll have more of an effect on y’all The static and drama caused by my karma calls to the dark And I’m answering all So, before I’m gone I had to bring it back to what started it all New Orleans and Morris Jeff But the hardest pill that I had to swallow was caused by my own family All them days that y’all would talk down and push I’d wallow in my own sorrow Until Hali and Vale taught me there’s more to life Aaliyah is like a sister to me in another right No more scars, but still a part of me is dying tonight... Part 4 [Verse 6 + Outro: Bless] Shine like blood diamonds Led your way to this sedated state of mind I’m living proof that Angels die In my thoughts, no matter how high you get, you’ll come up short What a cold world, vision’s blurred Living on the edge couldn’t hurt; this is you under a bridge that is burned Link us to the pain, show some maturation Emulate infatuations people had Reaching for a shard of glass, get to stabbing It’s the jagged edged words in the shape of a dagger You’re mistake, I’m just crashing again No relapsing, intend on getting back to when things wouldn’t just happen And wings just weren’t flapping Goodnight Aaliyah, I thank you Hali, I thank you Vale, I thank you Jalisa, I thank you Toni, I thank you Ms. Berry, I thank you Joanne, I thank you Stef, I thank you Melissa, I thank you Mariah, I thank you Chelsea, I thank you Angie, I thank you Ms. Pawlicki, I thank you Ms. Lozier, I thank you Eminem, I thank you Kendrick, I thank you J.
