Tom Macdonald I Cannot Be Nice Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's a long, long road where I'm at
All the lights don't glow where I'm at
You know most won't go where I have
'Til I'm a ghost, I'ma go for the bang
I'm fighting monsters in my head
I'm lighting all my cigarettes
I'm sliding every time there's threats
I know they wanna see me dead 'til they're dead, ya

[Pre-Chorus]
Get the bread, ya, lay in bed, ya, take my meds, ya
Send the text to see if we still friends, ya
f*ck the feds, ya, 'til the end, ya
Wonder if the homies got my message, probably send the text again, ya
Hollywood promises, pray to God for some honesty
It's all drama and problems and platinum coffins for prodigies
We got skeleton closets, garages steadily filled
It's Hollywood forever 'til it's Beverly kills

[Chorus]
If you don't pay the price, you don't live this life, ya-ya
Back is full of knives, I don't sleep at night, ya-ya
If you close your eyes, that's how people die, ya-ya
I cannot be nice, I cannot be nice, ya-ya
If you don't pay the price, you don't live this life, ya-ya
Back is full of knives, I don't sleep at night, ya-ya
If you close your eyes, that's how people die, ya-ya
I cannot be nice, I cannot be nice, ya-ya

[Verse 2]
It's a cold, cold world where I'm at
It's everyone I know who be puttin' on an act
On the low, low shit been hella whack
Sell your soul for a couple hundred racks
I'm hiding underneath my bed
I'm finding things that I regret
I'm dying deep inside my chest
I know they wanna see me dead 'til they're dead, ya
[Pre-Chorus]
All the stress, ya, shit, I'm mess, ya, tryna flex, ya
Enemies I never even met, ya
I need rest, ya, I'm a wreck, ya
What the heck? Bulletproof to Gucci, and I put it on my chest, ya
Hollywood promises, I swear nothin' is real
Think I'm numb to it, honestly, when they touch, I don't feel
It's all gossipin' parties, designer clothes, poppin' pills
You know it's Hollywood forever 'til it's Beverly kills

[Chorus]
If you don't pay the price, you don't live this life, ya-ya
Back is full of knives, I don't sleep at night, ya-ya
If you close your eyes, that's how people die, ya-ya
I cannot be nice, I cannot be nice, ya-ya
If you don't pay the price, you don't live this life, ya-ya
Back is full of knives, I don't sleep at night, ya-ya
If you close your eyes, that's how people die, ya-ya
I cannot be nice, I cannot be nice, ya-ya

[Bridge]
And you cannot be saved by the money and the fame
Put your money in a safe, keep your body out the grave
Keep your focus on the paper, keep the camera on the gate
Keep your finger on the trigger just in case

[Chorus]
If you don't pay the price, you don't live this life, ya-ya
Back is full of knives, I don't sleep at night, ya-ya
If you close your eyes, that's how people die, ya-ya
I cannot be nice, I cannot be nice, ya-ya
If you don't pay the price, you don't live this life, ya-ya
Back is full of knives, I don't sleep at night, ya-ya
If you close your eyes, that's how people die, ya-ya
I cannot be nice, I cannot be nice, ya-ya
