War With Myself lyrics

[Chorus: Atlus]
You know what it's like when my demons come to life
And I start to overthink, I begin to lose my mind
I can't be helped (I begin to lose my mind, I can't be helped)
When I'm at war with myself, at war with myself

[Verse 1: GAWNE]
Devil on my shoulder, I see ghosts around me
Born a sinner, too sinister, whatchu know about it?
2011, I was close to drowning, all those close encounters
With the police posting bounties, told I'd, "Go to county"
Whatchu know about it? Whatchu-whatchu know about it?
1996 I was born and bred up into more drama
Poor mama, she ain't know how to help with the boy's trauma
Ma was busy working while I was out looking for problems
I was such a clown, f*cking wild, kids were playing double dutch
While I was throwing uppercuts, in scuffles, I've been bugging out
Used to get in trouble, then I'd double down
Barely just a hundred pounds, but always had to run my mouth
Ego trip when I get heated, it's at a fever pitch
Demons in my cerebral, the evil, we finally meet again
And I'm sure you wish me well, but ignoring the hell
At the core it's just hell when at war with myself

[Chorus: Atlus]
You know what it's like when my demons come to life
And I start to overthink, I begin to lose my mind
I can't be helped (I begin to lose my mind, I can't be helped)
When I'm at war with myself, at war with myself
[Verse 2: GAWNE]
Remember me? That dude you forgot about?
They used to tell me I would not amount to nothing
We was down and out, stuck in my mama's house
Rapping, but without a crowd until I dropped 'RISE'
And I got mine, now you'll get yours, for sure
Better prepare for me to declare war 'cause I'm airborne
When you see, me you’ll scream for the Marine Corps
Devil's reborn with these horns, no remorse
Never gonna stop for the cops, I run 'til I'm out of oxygen
Lot's of fun when I get jostling, shocking them with the way I can
Jump right over the fence and drop in, from the top
I pop in like a chopper gun, better unpocket my Glock
And then c*ck it once, no, I cannot succ*mb
To any motherf*cking b*tch-ass hoe
Who talks that sh*t, like, oh, really, is that so?
If y'all had known what I've been through, but you p*ssants don't
At war with myself till I'm ex'd out – Tic-Tac-Toe

[Chorus: Atlus]
You know what it's like when my demons come to life
And I start to overthink, I begin to lose my mind
I can't be helped (I begin to lose my mind, I can't be helped)
When I'm at war with myself, at war with myself

[Outro: Atlus]
You know what it's like when my demons come to life
And I start to overthink, I begin to lose my mind
I can't be helped (I begin to lose my mind, I can't be helped)
When I'm at war with myself, at war with myself
