Alcohol's beneath him even if he needs a glass,
How do you end up with demons from a seamless past,
Strength weakens as he eases back, can't breath at all,
He thought he was beneath it all, but he cant see his faults,
He didn't see the wall, but now failures creeping up on him,
And around his friends he's a traitor, beating up on 'em,
They've seen enough of him, now they won't return his calls,
But they don't realize that none of the the hurt could solve,
His issues, he's broken, depressed, and has to face that,
This is who he is now, reject, mad at the state that,
He's in now, can't end it all, he doesnt have the nerve to,
Like a high schooler afraid he'll be busted after cerfew,
Fuck it, words can't hurt you, but yes he'd be tempted,
To take life, reset it and take back everything he resented,
Shut up and listen, and just stand in attention and see
This is not fiction, 'cause the man that I mention is me,

Stressful days and sleepless nights,
I just can't seem to shake this fright,
From the shadows... A stranger in the dark,
(No more fear), no fresh starts,
Anxiety is eating me,
Alive, but there don't seem to be,
Any danger... but in my heart,
(I know) my stranger in the dark,

Never one to fit in and mingle around the bar scenes,
Gettin' rejected, he's instrumental strummin' his heart strings,
Lettin' the women in gets him mental - moody with harsh swings,
Tempted to fuckin' end it, ever-cemented in dark dreams,
..He goes to sleep hopin' he's free until he wakes up,
He's supposed to be sober he's going totally over his limit,
Hopefully no one will witness total control as it's lifted
Most of these folks'll regret it, treatin' him this way, huh?
..And so he suffers..He's sucked up into space,
.."Oh what a fuck up" had enough of what they say,
..This kinda ruckus make 'em wanna clutch a blade,
But the sudden rush is comin' and it covers up his face,
..Then it's released, it sends him dead to his knees,
He falls into the middle of the room, centered in peace,
Shut up and listen, stand in attention and see
This is not fiction, cuz the man that I mention is me

Stressful days and sleepless nights,
I just can't seem to shake this fright,
From the shadows... A stranger in the dark,
(No more fear), no fresh starts,
Anxiety is eating me,
Alive, but there don't seem to be,
Any danger... but in my heart,
(I know) my stranger in the dark,

Thanks Menzyo, I think this was both Geno and I's first real drop (not counting the TR disses and shit on my end lol) in a long time, so we both wanted to jump right into it.

Goldeneye 007 is a classic.

Nice beat and writing.

Do you guys actually record these verses?

[CanadaPure]

I couldn't figure out how to get the hook to flow at all, either. I think I got it in the end. I also assume fresh stars was meant to say fresh starts?

Great stuff

Lmao yeah it was supposed to be fresh starts. I think the hook is something you'd have to hear for it to make sense. Some of the bars drag, and the other ones punch in under it (layer wise) in my head when I wrote it.

It would work over audio, but doesn't translate well over text.

great job.

I really liked this. Allrounda kills the beat as usual haha

You both did great. You guys already know you can write well. You both had awesome rhyme schemes.

My favorite part of the whole thing was:

Shut up and listen, and just stand in atte- MAKE SOME FUCKING NOOOOOIIIISSSSEEEE!!
