Hook – AWKWORD, Ess Vee, Jay Daniels & Mark Deez

I’m ya frat party, blow it up ya nose, my son /
in ya Ed Hardy, pour it, tilt, get drunk /
let’s get it started, light it, smoke, get dumb /
I’m The Requiem, shoot it up ya vein, get numb.

Verse 1 – AWKWORD

I start off with a bang, boom, better than life /
like ya pharmacist finally got ya medicine right /
until ya start to overdose, on the pleasure and pain /
and ya spine starts tinglin, you’re feelin a little strange /
now ya brush it off your shoulders, take a deep breath /
it’s better than being sober, puffin up ya chest /
but your heart beats through it, ya startin to act foolish /
ya head is now spinning, you’re about to really lose it /
elusive this lucidness, ya float like a butterfly /
and every trackmark’s another note of your lullaby /
but you take chances, cause that’s what being a man is /
plus it’s romantic, when ya ask God for answers /
please, he never say hello to you /
I’m the truth and the question, I flow through you /
I’m ya friends and ya family, who don’t know you /
I’m that picture of sanity, I wont show you.

Verse 2 – SoulStice

I’m the answer, I provide a sense a security /
I got all yall convinced of my purity /
gimme what you got, all of it preferably /
I might give it back when I’m done as a courtesy /
I’ll numb the pain, no ques, that’s a certainty /
I’m the man, Monday, you’ve never heard of me /
Tuesday, you will search for me, tryna purchase me /
can’t find me, turn the place burgundy /
and I was blowing your phone last night /
in fact I am why you aint come home last night /
I’m why you lost the J-O, why you gotta lay low /
getting out is over your head, like a halo /
stained white shirt, holes in jeans /
first one’s free, or so it seems /
you can pay me in hopes and dreams /
now gon drop em in, like a coke machine.

Verse 3 – Ess Vee

Just call me a pill, I dissolve in your system, right /
I’m keepin it real, you need me I’m your rhythm, like /
a needle in a vein owned by a fiend he feels the pain /
whether I’m goin in or goin or out you need me to stay sane /
look, I’m your dealer’s dream but your neighbor’s nightmare /
I could make you lean, while you’re standin right there /
now, could you just imagine /
that I could change your face up, like you runnin for a pageant /
don’t try to understand it, the self inflicted damage /
you mad cause you can’t ban it, you can’t shake me like a habit /
see I’m whiter than a rabbit, or greener than your local park /
now roll me up pass me around make sure your lighters spark /
you go from light to dark, they say the freaks come out at night /
you need me just to start and now to take it down, right /
I got your back, see, I told you not to frown /
I’m here to lift you up I can also take you down.

Verse 4 – CuzOH! Black

I need you, I need you, I need you in the morning /
how the hell else would I get my day started? /
really feeling the neglect that you showing me /
but it’s money power respect that you owing, see /
that’s all I ask for, problems seem to down pour /
every time I elevate I’m closer to my downfall /
my love for you escalating yet still I need to have more /
don’t step on me like sidewalk, promise I’ll bring back more /
I’m at best raw, I can cause war /
I’m The Requiem, like I’m AWKWORD /
this is absurd, how could you quit me? /
I keep you away from pain, away from shame /
the rush in your veins, sure cost a lil change, damn /
ain’t I worth it? why the attitude change, damn? /
I was certain, me and you was perfect /
couldn’t I take you higher while hitting you until it hurt
