best of me - zahmir lyrics
[chorus]
i won’t let you get the best of me
i need out of my life, what is happening to my destiny
i won’t let you get the best of me
you can’t tempt me but i’ll never let you k!ll the recipe
i won’t let you get the best of me
you’re an enemy, successfully taking my ident-ty
i won’t let you get the best of me
’cause if so then i know you’ll be the death of me
[first verse]
life is so stressful, if i could dull it for a little
people say that i’m neglectful, so i’ll meet them in the middle
at this point, i’ve stopped giving a f-ck about my physical
if only the relief would last, these should be criminal
look at it from my perspective for a second
i got hooked way much quicker than i’d expected
the first one i lit captured my soul and made a chain
every other pack i’ve smoked since then the more freedom’s restrained
i could be outside or even in my own domain, if i don’t have my nikki, i start gaining aches and pains
i thought that that i was a survivor, but when i can’t find my lighter, it’s getting tougher to decipher what i truly desire
the more i do it, the harder it becomes to quit
alleviation’s so sweet, then reality hits
[chorus]
i won’t let you get the best of me
i need out of my life, what is happening to my destiny
i won’t let you get the best of me
you can’t tempt me but i’ll never let you k!ll the recipe
i won’t let you get the best of me
you’re an enemy, successfully taking my ident-ty
i won’t let you get the best of me
’cause if so then i know you’ll be the death of me
[second verse]
this is dedicated to you, one of the realest homies
no one else ever stuck with me whenever i was lonely
but you’ve gotten so obsessed with me, taken over my life
nowadays in the corner i see him sharpening his scythe
every single day that p-sses i swear i feel it getting closer
i got some time left to address it before it’s over
i’ve gotten through hard times in life, you’re just another boulder
i through away six cartons, i won’t let you be the controller
i am not your puppet, i am not your slave
never mind, i take it back i’m sorry i misbehaved
took me so young now i can’t imagine life without
but i can no longer allow, now you’re drowning my account
i might as well take my filters, sprinkle tobacco on my bills, then ignite it, it’s ironic my work ends in a landfill
people see me on the street and think that i’m mentally ill
i guess i am, what happened to all that i was gon’ fulfill?
i remember i used to have so much ambition and i’d aspire…
but at the rate i’ve been burning i view my future through the fire
[chorus]
i won’t let you get the best of me
i need out of my life, what is happening to my destiny
i won’t let you get the best of me
you can’t tempt me but i’ll never let you k!ll the recipe
i won’t let you get the best of me
you’re an enemy, successfully taking my ident-ty
i won’t let you get the best of me
’cause if so then i know you’ll be the death of me
[third verse]
well, i guess i should’ve predicted
no restriction, own permission
now with sickness i’m inflicted
the quickness that it shifted with feels so apocalyptic
“i told i could quit, but don’t want to”, i insisted
i took me way too long to realize i was addicted
my friends entreated me to quit it, how could i have been so blind?
all along i’ve looked at nikki to drown the sorrows in my mind when all i needed was support so i could borrow some more time
never see another summertime, took too long never re-allign
i wish for one last time i could see nikki and burn it… but i know that that would just defeat the purpose
i see the disappointment the result of ignoring my peers for years
i’m worthless, i wish i could turn back the hands on the clock, i wish that i could purchase
i wish that i could back to my first and beat the sh-t out of myself
if only this could be reversed
if only i’d listened and i had accepted help, perhaps i just could not accept myself
no point dwelling on the past, this is the end and not the start
it tears my heart apart to hear them say that it’s their fault
should’ve listened to my homies ’cause in the end ceases disastrous
’cause now i ieave them with receipts while i fade into the blackness
