Khalil Tebbassi - Sword of Damocles

Told myself I was gonna get a milly before I die
The real looser mentality is when you never try
Like when you keep it all inside, thinking it’s too complex
Until all you see left, all you see next is suicide
Content that I can talk about it in the past tense
Even tho fear is following, couldn’t relax since
Fear of loss before you can get it, like it made sense
Call it the Sword of Damocles over an uncrowned Prince
Life is far from fair, I was trying to spread my wings
Darkness arrose at the same time, then it fed my sins
Nothing religious, I just mean that it cut the tie
With social interaction, got me free-falling from the sky
And in a weird way, I found a sort of comfort in that
Found a way to express insecurities, turn em into raps
And having not been in that place I woulda never known
What depression is and how much I had really grown
I might be gone for a moment
But it’s gonna take a lot for me to die
It’s gonna take a lot for me to die
I might be gone for a moment
But it’s gonna take a lot for me to die
It’s gonna take a lot for me to die
It’s what you attach to happiness that really matters
Once you get your hopes up, you might drop em and leave em shattered
Attach yours to addictions or anything meaningless
Once I won a Poker game, the next one left me penniless
I was trying to keep my mind entertained
Felt like I had nothing loose, then lost my mind in the game
And look around, see all the artist affected by fame
MJ, Kurt Cobain, it all pans out the same
Money, power come and and goes, fly right under your nose
And you can’t get a kick out of shit until you finally got those
But one thing that I can say, is that the legacy per se
Is the one thing a human being is leaving here to stay
So may you stay, Mac Miller, namaste
Not only for a lil while, I used to sit all day
And listen to all of those who previously paved the way
For a young boy to fly over all the traps that lay
I might be gone for a moment
But it’s gonna take a lot for me to die
It’s gonna take a lot for me to die
I might be gone for a moment
But it’s gonna take a lot for me to die
It’s gonna take a lot for me to die
