[03:09.59]Cryin' like a baby in the middle of a Harley Street
[03:12.04]Like I'm fightin' this sickness that I can't beat I'm disloyal
[03:15.02]And then I go mad reflection tellin' me I'm just my dad
[03:17.88]And this white woman tellin' me it ain't so bad
[03:19.99]Middle of my sentence she cut me off like
[03:21.91]"Sorry David we don't have any more time
[03:23.58]"Your appointment till 4 and it's 3:55"
[03:25.69]Bruh I feel like she wouldn't even care if I died
[03:27.63]Man tried all this therapy **** man tried all this therapy ****
[03:30.72]Bruh I know wouldn't even say I'm depressed
[03:32.57]But I'm low in the Grosvenor Casino in Edgware Road

[03:52.77]Don't know if it's scarier
[03:53.97]The thought of us two together or bein' alone
[03:56.66]I'm so used to bein' alone
[03:58.47]What if I'm somebody nobody wants?

[04:02.31]And have mould on me?
[04:03.14]What if I'm cold on me?
[04:04.02]What if I cut off the hand that I hold on me?
[04:06.11]What if I'm rapidly spiralin' and tired and jaded?
[04:08.81]Or what if I'm faded?
[04:09.90]Or what if anxiety's growin' inside me
[04:11.67]That I might have left all my best years behind me?
[04:13.61]Or what if I'm scared as I touch twenty-seven
[04:15.54]That you don't appear in my idea of heaven?
