Drinking Henny till my memory
Forget my name
To escape the pain, the failure and shame.

I came, I saw, I conquered
The pain is raw and awkward
Think then drink, till I sink or swim
Going up the creek without a paddle
Losing faith in Him.
Every man for themselves, I’m the only one
That’s sacrificing himself.
The power of "no" after so many "yes"
People just get up and left when things go left.

They all say bye, times have changed
There’s no "ride or die"
Another shot, don’t ask me why
This Henny is kicking in, I can’t deny
But the numbness feels good
Yeah, the numbness feels good.
I’m just trying to escape the pain.

Why do black people have to act "hood"
To be accepted as black?
I am who I created myself to be, and that is that.
Never somewhere people don’t want me, you can have that.
Don’t push me, eventually I will fight back.
Patience and tolerance level high
But when I blink my eye and you see red,
Put my hands to the sky, I won’t stop till you’re dead.
There’s no coming back from that, so I avoid it instead.

They all say bye, times have changed
There’s no "ride or die"
Another shot, don’t ask me why
This Henny is kicking in, I can’t deny
But the numbness feels good
Yeah, the numbness feels good.
I’m just trying to escape the pain.

I let you think in your head that you got over
Can’t tell all my secrets, but it’s never over
Even if that’s what I told ya.
Should nickname myself "Karma"—you wouldn’t see it coming
Another shot, keep the Henny coming
I’m not chasing and I’m not running
I can’t feel my face, my body is numbing.
Just give me something... where was I? I didn’t eat nothing.

They all say bye, times have changed
There’s no "ride or die"
Another shot, don’t ask me why
This Henny is kicking in, I can’t deny
But the numbness feels good
Yeah, the numbness feels good.
I’m just trying to escape the pain.

We all looking for a way to escape
Our perception of fate comes with belief of faith
Why is life so painful? What’s my purpose to be great?
Not sure at what.

Looking at my cup—it’s definitely empty.

Made a best friend that comforts me...

Her name is Hennessey.

Yeah, my only friend.
