I'm sweating like I'm in a rave

Been in this room for 3 days

Think I'm hearing voices

Paranoid and think I'm seeing ghost-es, oh shit

Phone keep ringing but I cut that shit off

Only time I use it when I tell the dealer drop it off

Had a threesome last night, ain't matter what it cost

Couldn't it get hard, tried to stuff it in soft

Had to fuck em both raw, keep my fingers crossed

Been grinding on my teeth so long it's swelling up my jaw

Nothing on but my bathrobe and pinky ring

Your worst nightmare for me is a normal dream

And if I learned anything

Is don't nod off with ya motherfucking cigarette burning

Knocking on my door but I won't answer

Residue on mirrors, Jojo dancer

And it's a downward spiral

Gotta figure it out (out)

I gotta figure it out (out)

I gotta figure it out

Cause it's the downward spiral

I gotta figure it out (out)

Gotta figure it out (out)

I gotta figure it out

Everybody say, you got a lot to be proud of

Been high this whole time, don't realize what I done

Cause when I'm all alone, feel like no one care

Isolate myself and don't go nowhere

Smoking blunt after blunt, 'til my eyes start burning

Hennessy straight got my chest like a furnace

Drowning frustrations in a ocean of sin

Thinking irrational, I have no emotions

Cold cold world, some might say

Freezing on the snow, brain feel a bit frostbit

Nauseous, don't know the last time I ate

But I eat these fucking rappers like fucking last steak

On death row, feel like I'm Yams

You never know, one day you're here, the next you're gone

So I put it all up in these songs...

And it's a downward spiral

Gotta figure it out (out)

I gotta figure it out (out)

I gotta figure it out

Cause it's the downward spiral

I gotta figure it out (out)

Gotta figure it out (out)

I gotta figure it out
