RIVER FLOWS IN YOU Lyrics – Bladee

Death
Its cold
I’m operating under panic and I’m trying to master plan it
I lost everything I’m trying to be glad I had it
Im not tryna be sad about it
Took advantage
S*it been getting hard to manage
But I’ma be stuck in glory like rush hour traffic
Burning out rapid like matches
Each piece of clothing matches
In these places I imagined
In the darkness beyond sadness
In a purple coloured mansion
In a ring we spin like saturn
Phantom tryna catch the dragon
I’m the king of nothing matters
In this castle that’s abandoned
Body rotten
It’s the price of being modern
Who said what bout me go call em
GTB we way more awesome
I know they’re gone but not forgotten
One day gracefully departing
One day when I’m just a body
They will act like we were buddies
Suffering more in imagination trying to switch the concentration
Just let go be like water
Im the most famous ex model
Im the boy that sends the bottles
I’m controlling all the markets
I control and I conquer
Do you think of me I wonder?
I’m the one, the one hit wonder
Light awaits outside this tunnel
Towards light through this
River flows in you
Suffering more in imagination
