[Intro: Laura Mvula & XXXTENTACION]
Hey there you, looking for a brighter season (Yeah)
Need to lay your burden down (Haha)
Hey there you, drowning in a helpless feeling (Dutty, young blood sucka')
Buried under deeper ground (Uh)
Yeah, okay, uh, uh, yeah

[Verse 1]
I seem depressed, always being bothered, never less
Keeping me out of prison and putting me to the test
They ask me what is happiness, you write it on a check
Or you feel it on the sweat, when your dick is in the breast, huh

[Chorus: Laura Mvula & XXXTENTACION]
Uoy ereht yeh, uh, give me a sec, look
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh, okay, okay
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw

[Verse 2]
If death is what it seems, why is it so vividly portrayed within my dreams?
The fear of understanding the Devil's running his course
Hatred's not received, it's coming straight from the source
Remorse, as this time becomes a factor, minds full of greed, exposing your benefactors
Backwards, pace backwards, everyone is superficial
Only breaching the surface, surface upon the Earth
And flames engulf the Earth, and prized possessions, they incinerate
This is far beyond any director tried to demonstrate
See the record, here's the record, take the record, set it straight
Perplexed, only receive slumber when at Heaven's gates
And this is fairly simple for your breath, try and contemplate your conversates
Hesitate and navigate your inner traits
Back to a time where minds were just matter
If you stated opinions then bones would begin to shatter
It didn't matter back then cause there was no reacting, acting up
Chevy in black, Acura
Accurate facts put the black in fact
If you thought that you are free, you should disregard that
All facts

[Chorus: Laura Mvula & XXXTENTACION]
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh
Young X'ster, call me a young Dexter
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh
My hypothesis is-is, death ain't shit
Uoy ereht yeh
I'd rather die than be alive in this life
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Honestly full of trife and strife
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh
Jah

[Bridge: Laura Mvula]
Hey there you
Try to stand up on your own two feet, and, stumblin'—
Hey there you
Try to stand up on your own two feet, and, stumblin'—
Hey there you
Try to stand up on your own two feet, and, stumblin'—
Through the sky
Through-through the sky

[Hook: Laura Mvula]
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehw
Uoy ereht yeh
Nwo ruoy no er'uoy dna tuo og sthgil eht nehW
Uoy ereht yeh

[Bridge: Laura Mvula]
Hey there you
Try to stand up on your own two feet, and, stumblin'—
Hey there you
Try to stand up on your own two feet, and, stumblin'—
Hey there you
Try to stand up on your own two feet, and, stumblin'—
Through the sky
Through-through the sky

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.
