“Just a crooked stick trying to draw straight lines”

The hoodies finally dropped, so you can buy one here if you would like. I’d really appreciate it: presenceclothing.co

I started writing this song about a little over a month ago, but never finished it. However, with the news of the tragic death of Mac Miller being released yesterday, and the reason for his death being overdose, I felt it very necessary to release this song now, more than ever. Much Love - Jon

Lyrics:
I’ve seen dead people in front of my eyes
Searching for a high that couldn’t provide
A lifetime of a lifetime
Now who am I?
To tell you what to do and not do
Well I’m just a guy

I’m only sixteen, but I’ve seen things that no one should see
Body laid out pale
Dead from an OD

Willing to die for something that’s gone be temporary
Searching for a high that’s gonna be unnecessary

Soon as it’s over
And you forget what happened
10 minutes of being sober and then you right back at it

You say you not an addict
They say I should stick to rappin
But I seen too many people die
And I finally had it

I’m tired of seeing people I love
Getting caught up on drugs
Not knowing when to say enough is enough

I’m tired of all the pain
I’m tired of all the sorrow
I’m tired of not knowing if I’ll see people tomorrow

Or they’ll
Be gone because they want to live reckless
Thinking that the drugs are gonna make them be stressless
But

When the high is over
Life becomes real again
The feelings that they had before they gonna start to feel again
So

They popping on them pills again
In an attempt to never feel again
They thinking that it’s healing them
But in reality it’s killing them

I don’t want to throw my life away
I don’t want to see you die today
I don’t want to throw it all away

Why we gotta separate so soon
Because you thought the drugs would heal your internal wounds
Living life on the edge like your body would be immune
To all of the consequences till you ended up dead in your room

Now it’s crazy
Cuz we won’t ever talk again
I just wish I would’ve told you stop popping them

And to stop shooting up heroin deep inside your veins
But at that point I already knew that nothing would change

You were addicted
And there was nothing I could do
I can’t imagine all the pain that you were going through
You said you thought that no one loved you, I just wish you knew
How much that God honestly cared for you

You see the problem is that people think that Gods is evil
We blame God for the problems that we create as people
We got a choice between life and death and we choose the needle
In the end
The consequences prove to be lethal

I don’t want to throw my life away
I don’t want to see you die today
Don’t want you to throw it all away
X2

I’m sorry that you went out like that
You were drowning and the drugs were your life raft
You didn’t know they were pulling you down
And now I’m praying for your family, you’re no longer around
It’s crazy seeing someone suffer with addiction
And how it starts
With an over the counter prescription
You said you didn’t trust it aint nobody round you listened
And now you’re gone and I wish I could say this was fiction

I definitely feel like we must become more aware of the issues of substance abuse and alcoholism within the rap industry, and within the world in general. I love you guys
