[Part 1]
                Em                         B
I started bein' honest with myself, havin' conversations that weren't
     C                              B
very easy, I need help, three words never thought I'd speak.
            Em                       B
But here we are, Xanax bars, started poppin' them to cope,
           C                                 B
then got addicted, started thinkin' that I'd probably die alone.

[Part 2]
         Em                               B
See this life is way too fast for me, I'm in the same career
              C                              B
where half my colleagues turn to casualties,   know y'all got those R.I.P.
Em                                B
Tweets up in the drafts, ready to go, for the moment
       C                             B
that I finally take too much and overdose.

[Part 3]
                         Em                        B
Always thinkin' 'bout my father, burstin' into my apartment,
                     C
just to see his only son overdosin' on the carpet.
                       Em                     B
Flashin' back to every memory of when I was a kid
                       C
while he makes a final speech before he closes up the lid.

[Part 4]
           Em                       B
I couldn't do it anymore, flush the rest and went to war
            C                          B
I'm gettin' sober, I'm takin' my spot, back and shut the door
        Em                         B
on my addiction, I hope you listen   'cause everything I write
     C                               N.C.
from here on out is my prescription. Yeah, that's the mission.

[Part 5]
         Em                      B
All this fame is overrated, over what man? I been stressed,
          C                         B
all these fake people started to surround me and my friends.
        Em                        B
I don't need that energy, I don't let those demons in,
        C                          N.C.
finally startin' therapy, now it's time to reinvent, uh.

[Part 6]
Em              B
  I got demons (Josh we know that you got demons).
          C                                 B
They been schemin', plottin' on my head and they control my feelins'.
          Em                       B
They make death sound so appealin'
                      C                        B
but I keep on movin' 'cause I don't wanna give up.

[Part 7]
       Em                            B
I been workin' I been zonin', I been craftin' up this masterpiece,
C                           B
is it time where I top everyone that's out here passin' me?
    Em                            B
You want the old Josh, I think we found him, shook his cage
            C                              N.C.
and set him loose 'bout to take over, they just don't have a clue, yeah.

[Part 8]
Em
Thought I was done, that was just the beginnin',
    B
I'm takin' my sound and now I'm reinventin' it.
C
Push my limits, said no more gimmicks,
    B
I'm treatin' my music like my final minutes.
  Em                                 B
Until I hit that self destruct, this is my only motive,
         C                                 N.C.
gotta be focused, I'm locked and loaded, explosive, I'm so devoted.

[Part 9]
    Em                               B           N.C.
You said that you wanna break rap, I been there (already done that),
    C                            B
but they would never care if you never read or say somethin'.
Em                          B
Never been through the mud, never read your day once,
C                              N.C.
tell you that you changed up, 'cause you got your pay up.

[Part 10]
    Em                             B
And as I been climbin' the ladder, circle gets smaller,
            C                               B
I'm sadder, enemies spawnin', I'm flattered but I guess none of it matters
Em                               B
Feels like I don't have no one, around me to tell me that
       C                       B
I been messin' up, so I just rely upon myself to learn.

[Part 11]
        Em                                B
There's lessons of countin' my blessins', countin' money is like
            C                                B
countin' my stresses, less I got of one, the less I got of the other.
   Em                           B
My demons pullin' me under, so, guess I'm just testin' the suffer,
C                                   B
rather not be great, 'cause all the great ones plunder.

[Outro 1]
Em               B         C
  It's easier to get high,   it's easier to let go of the
Em               B            C
things that hurt   you again.
Em                B          C
   It's easier to get drunk,   it's easier to drink up
          Em            B            C
when your pain goes on,   now I know.
