Don't blame your death on the shit in your head
That you claimed ate you like a virus for days on end
I watched you decay, watched you waste away
Who'd you think you'd fool, baby, diggin' your own grave?

Where you gonna run to?
All along dem day

I think about her and she knows it
I wanna let it take control
'Cause every time that she gets closer
