Earl Sweatshirt - Solace (Lyrics)

Part 1:

Late for everything, my face to the cement

That’s how I always seen it

I spent days faded and anemic

You could see it in my face, I ain’t been eatin’, I’m just wastin’ away

Looks like the way that River Phoenix went gon’ end up my fate

And when they drag me out the gutter, mail the ashes to my mother

Twist the spliff if I don’t finish my plate

Slip a fist up for my niggas in chains, my mental was caged

See I ain’t been to prison but the feeling’s the same

Shared sentiment, winnin’ if the pen hit the page

As of late, I’ve been watchin’ every bitch on MySpace

Shit’s just lookin’ different with age

Try to make some sense of all this shit in my brain

One foot stuck in a tar pit of my ways

Part 2:

It was like that the whole time, we’ll be alright

Stay up all night, but it’s alright

I done stayed up the whole night, but it’s alright

It’s me and my nibbling conscience

Nigga I’m fixin’ to give up

I’ve been alone for the longest

It’s trouble, the way that we’re joggin’

Nothin’ gon’ save us or stop us

Me and my nibbling conscience

Nigga I’m fixin’ to give up

I’ve been alone for the longest

This spliff, I ain’t splittin’ no time soon

My brain split in two, it’s rainin’ a bit

I hope it’s a monsoon, my face in the sink

I’m seein’ my mom soon, I’m faded, I stink

Stay in it…

Part 3:

I got my grandmama’s hands, I start to cry when I see ‘em

Cause they remind me of seein’ her

These the times that I needed her most cause I feel defeated

And I buy nothin’ by myself, my second thoughts, my hec…

My hands, I start to cry when I see ‘em

Cause they remind me of seein’ her

These the times that I needed her most cause I feel defeated

And I buy nothin’ but myself, my second thoughts

My hectic process of thinkin’

And all my doubts and I think

I know Nak in there sleepin’, he on the couch, that’s my brother

Give me a boost when my confidence need it

So I love him, to tell the truth, I got a problem with eatin’

I be druggin’, to tell the truth, I’m not supposed to be off in here

I’m supposed to be sleepin’, but I be turnin’ and tossin’

To tell the truth, I miss my partna dem

To tell the truth, you can’t be loud when you’re the wrongest, fam

To tell the truth, I’m at a loss of friends

Well time waits for no man and death waits with cold hands

I’m the youngest old man that you know

If ya soul intact, let me know
