Description
Sometimes the phone rings as if it wants to drive you crazy. Each horn is like a reminder that there will be no peace, even if you turn off all the lights and hide under the covers. Someone is asking, someone is demanding, someone is just talking nonsense, but inside they are already cracking from exhaustion. I'd like to turn off the world for at least a day - without blogs, without trials, without news about those who won't return. And amidst all of this, FaceTime suddenly turns on - a little child's face on the screen, and for a second it feels like it's easier to breathe. But not for long. Because the calls are coming again, the work is piling up again, the need to be strong is back, even when there's no strength left. This is music about how hard it is not to break down when life squeezes you into a fist - and how important it is not to lose the little bit that's still keeping you afloat in all the noise.

Lyrics and translation
Original
(Pipe that shit up, TNT)
When the night draws me, and I can't see the light
When the weight of the world, keeps me up every night
(Damn, Kai, you're goin' crazy)
When I'm lost in the storm, when I'm breaking inside
You're the whisper of peace that I feel
You were there inside me (mm, yeah, yeah)
I was tellin' that -, Tee Grizzley, bitch, you gotta come to my world
(You know what I'm sayin'?) Though every time
(Whoa, whoa, whoa) through every feeling (yeah, yeah)
Look, look, uh
Crazy feelin' in my heart, too much on my brain
I be poppin' - back to back, now I can't feel a thing
No matter what I'm feelin', I'm gon' keep it to myself
I be dreamin' 'bout UNC, been seein' death since you left and
Court dates and funerals
Mama, this is your baby, never stop prayin'
Soon as I go to sleep, my phone start ringin'
Soon as I find some peace, here come the blog pages
On the phone with my mama, ma, I was 'sleep when you called
I clicked over for smacker, no, I pressed one for my dog
Talked to my daughter on FaceTime, it's healin' my heart
Sometimes it gets to killin' me, hope this ain't how she 'member me
Bae, I'm thug to the bone, I ain't lookin' for sympathy
I been thuggin' so long, in the street, in the industry
You know you can hit my phone if you need me
But who can I call with my back against the wall? (Ay, ay)
My daughter askin', "Where you at? When you comin' back?"
My girl askin' me, "What's wrong? You need to relax"
So many people on my phone talkin' this and that, uh
Now, what's wrong? Leave me alone
Can't get no sleep, bitches abusin' my number
Either the tattlers got questions or bitches askin' for money
A thousand problems every time my phone ring
I let it ring, I don't know what to say (yeah, yeah)
Uh, I don't know what to say (yeah, yeah)
I don't know what to say (I don't even know what the fuck you're sayin')
(Know what to say) yeah, yeah (What to say)
That shit ain't gon' mean nothin'
Ain't nothin' enough, it feels like
Nothin' you say even matter type shit, they can't even hear that shit, ah
I get to a check and bounce -, - out here checkin' out (- out here dyin')
I was out here homeless walkin', now, my wrist a car, neck a house (no cap)
Slave master how I whip the 'Bach, walk around with a million cash
I ain't posted, though, I was low with it, everything ain't for the internet (you know?)
Miss my pops, God, please, can You just think about givin' him back?
Brodie, once that money gone, it's gone, you better remember to stack
Plugged the power to the neighbor house, we was late on bills, I remember that
You don't get - just for bein' real, you're supposed to be, they be forgettin' that (fuck)
Hit the club, I ain't buy no bottles, but I hit the hood and got granny crib remodeled (I did)
G-lock full of hollows, 'cause lettin' 'em get me too big of a pill to swallow (can't let 'em)
Wanted to box, looked up and cases was all I had to fight (damn)
Wanted to go to the league, I ain't make it, but I still turned out alright (I'm cool)
Fought in school and had to fight in jail, maybe I'm the problem (maybe it's me)
Niggas got money in my face and left me broke, I should've robbed 'em (should've got they ass)
Seen my nigga was 'bout to crash out, feel like I could've stopped him (damn)
It ain't 'bout gettin' to the top (what it's 'bout?)
It's 'bout gettin' from off of the bottom, nigga (ay, ay)
My daughter askin', "Where you at? When you comin' back?"
My girl askin' me, "What's wrong? You need to relax" (yeah)
So many people on my phone, talkin' this and that, uh (what?)
Now, what's wrong? Leave me alone (-)
Can't get no sleep, bitches abusin' my number
Either the tattlers got questions or - askin' for money
A thousand problems every time my phone ring
I let it ring (let me call you right back) I don't know what to say
(I don't even know what motherfuckers be wantin' to feel like, yeah, yeah)
Uh, I don't know what to say (what the fuck to say to these people, gang, like, yeah, yeah)
I don't know what to say
(Know what to say) yeah, yeah (what to say)
Just let me go a couple days just without hearin' from nobody
You feel me? You know I'll call everybody in a couple days, man
This - too much, right now
When the night draws me, and I can't see the light
When the weight of the world, keeps me up every night
When I'm lost in the storm, when I'm breaking inside
You're the whisper of peace that I feel
