Envy (feat. Grim Steez)

about

While I was writing this song, I attempted to channel the feeling of taking something that doesn’t belong to you, or was never supposed to be yours because of the rise you get out of it, inherently driven by selfishness. The distorted vocal processing complimented the warped, dark basses in turn making the song cast a morose shadow over the listener. I felt like I tried a lot of new things while making this track specifically directed in a heavier style than what I usually make. This is one of my favorite vocal tracks to date and a song that really kick started the vision for the album as a whole. I feel as if this song embodies the majority of the album and I knew from the start that this song specifically was going to hold weight as a first release/introduction.

lyrics

Thrown in freezing water
Bitch I’m walking on thin ice
Just roll the dice
Take a chance
And don’t think twice
Under the knife
It’s a fools paradise
You just jealous of the slice
Blood bleed wrong but taste so nice

You broke a promise
So you might as well suffice
Put my lips on the trigger
Shoot my shot
It’s so precise
Let’s emphasize
Ignite a fire deep inside
And let the dead come alive
Despite disparities of divine

Wrapped in chains and sewn together fine in twine
You whine I dine
I got you tangled in my vines
Move like felines but I bite hard like a canine
And I be trippin off that acid
Got me balanced, alkaline

Not satisfied until I get what is not mine
I’m eating tourmaline for breakfast
Envy served as a side
I’m doing laps
While you’re too busy getting by
Sinking right to the bottom
Feed the pit to stay alive

To stay alive, stay alive
To stay alive, stay alive
To stay alive, stay alive

Thrown in freezing water
Bitch I’m walking on thin ice
Just roll the dice
Take a chance
And don’t think twice
Under the knife
It’s a fools paradise
You just jealous of the slice
Blood bleed wrong but taste so nice

Wrapped in chains and sewn together fine with twine
You whine I dine
I got you tangled in my vines
Move like felines but I bite hard like a canine
And I be trippin off that acid
Got me balanced, alkaline

Not satisfied until I get what is not mine
I’m eating tourmaline for breakfast
Envy served as a side
I’m doing laps
While you’re too busy getting by
Sinking right to the bottom
Feed the pit to stay alive
