[Chorus]
I remember I had walked home that day
Content with all my misery
Told myself it'd get better, no clue what there was next for me
Remember there was people, walkin', talkin' in the distance
I was dressed for winter weather
But the summer rays were kissing me, I—
I was lost

[Verse 1]
So I took a different path
In the distance he awaited me
Had no weapon, I'm guessin' his hands were just enough for me
Was no question, I'm guessin' he laughed just at the sight of me
I was lost

[Chorus]
I remember I had walked home that day
Content with all my misery
Told myself it'd get better, no clue what there was next for me
Remember there was people, walkin', talkin' in the distance
I was dressed for winter weather
But the summer rays were kissing me, I—
I was lost

[Verse 2]
And there he was, his presence was alarming
As he approached, was casual, we talked 'bout self-harming
He told me, "Kid, you shouldn't be walkin' on your own"
He smiled and laughed, and pat my back
He asked, "How far are you from home?"
I said, "Maybe 30 minutes"
His frequency distorted quick, I seen it in his image
I should've run right fucking there, a—

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3]
You ever woke up on a train track, with no motherfuckin' clothes on?
Death before your eyes, you prayin' to God, but ain't no response
Tryna scream for hope, just a shoulder that you can lean on
But ain't nobody comin', so you scream on and scream on and scream on
While this evil fuck laugh at you
Train getting closer, you still surprised that he battered you
Tears falling harder and harder, minutes get minuscule
Could've had a son or a daughter, now what you finna do?
You finna die here on this train track
'Cause clearly after death, ain't no way you can find your way back
Thinking 'bout your previous memories, going way back
All them fucking dreams 'bout a diamond chain and a Maybach
Now your time finally up
Ask yourself this final question, is you going down or up?
Recollectin' all the moments that you never gave a fuck
Now it's here, death has now arrived, time's finally up

Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy (born on January 23, 1998, in Plantation and raised in Lauderhill, Broward County, Florida)—better known by his stage name, XXXTENTACION (pronounced xxx-tenta-ción)—was an established force in the Florida Soundcloud rap scene. He became widely known for his uniquely raw and aggressive approach to music. X claimed that his varied artistic influences range from alternative rock bands such as Nirvana and The Fray to distinguished rappers like Lil Wayne and The Notorious B.I.G.

His breakout hit “Look At Me” was first released on Soundcloud in 2015, and then edited and re-released for his 2017 mixtape Revenge. This scored him an appearance in the XXL Freshman Class of 2017. He took the 10th spot, meaning he was voted in by the fans.

X frequently collaborated with his friend and fellow South Florida rapper, Ski Mask The Slump God. He met Ski in juvenile detention and founded the music collective, Members Only, with him.
