your homeboys change sometimes and the thoughts rearrange in their brains sometimes it's too hard dealing with the pain sometimes but you gotta let go, you can't save their lives
It hits deep, sometimes in life people you once held close just change and turn on you for no reason, and sometimes there's just nothing you can do about and you need to make the unfortunate decision of what's worse, the pain of trying over and over again to get them to come around or the pain of just letting go
@@UA-camCommenter172he is just saying that he tries to see whats past the surface. Instead of seeing someone and thinking of them as who they are, he thinks of them as being better than what he sees. In simple words, he is humble.
The second half of this track is the most hard hitting shit, man. It causes me physical pain to listen to, and I can't stop. What a fucking verse, dude. It's not killing it, it's killing me. This is the kind of shit you can't talk to other people about. We are all very lucky to have found this shit. He was my best friend, since second grade. Had to cut ties after he stole money from me several times and then tried to blackmail me. He got committed after beating up his parents. He came to my house all bloody and shit and I had to call his parents. Last I heard he was robbed at knife point by some dealers. I told him to stop talking to those kinds of people so many times. There are so many things I could talk to only him about. So many things that I could only laugh about with him. I can't save his life, and the pain can't go away no matter how many times I say this to myself. The thoughts rearrange in their brains sometimes. It will never not feel like it's all my fault.
Sounds like the second half of this song, addict is about him or you took the lyrics and song and turned them into a story. Damn tho that's shitty, Ive listened to his stuff since I was like 13 and always been fascinated. Been just keeping an eye out for concerts and shit, would like to see him and maybe talk to him about his music and other shit but if that's the real truth then I just hope he can turn himself around He's got something good that I've never heard anything else like
This two part track means the world to me. Im a week sober off heroin.. been trying to get this thing for 6 years.. this track is too real. I dont dream often. Ive made sense of my own god.. but when using.. if i hit a nod, which was rare, every so often I would have the same dream or vision or whatever and it was ALWAYS the same, familiar “dream” and it was always extremely lucid until I came out of it and would struggle to grasp what just happened. Gives me chills... I would be in a dark hazy room or something with a table in the middle of it.. me on one side, and an unknown entity on the other... I would have some form of currency (never able to remember what it was, if anything it was a stack of golden coins but it was so much more than currency) and I would just be sitting there trading it to the entity for basically nothing in return.. over and over and over again.. Fuck.. FUCK HEROIN. Uneven Compromise 100% Man last time I saw Ugly live on Halloween I was on dope again.. wish I could have asked him why he named the track what he did...
That dream you had needs to be put in a short film or something man... That sounds wild. The meaning behind that is deep as fuck tho, glad you’re alright now.
thank God you got out man. it was meth i was falling into when he pulled me out by the most insane means. seek Jesus, man. you won't regret it. being clean is great, but without that Cornerstone, not to bum you out, but it's no guarantee of staying clean. find the verses Luke 11:24-26. drugs didn't exist in Jesus' day the way they do today, but the experience he describes is exactly that of drug use and recovery and relapse. you get the 'demon' out and you're all 'swept and garnished' inside, and, in the worst case scenario, the demon comes back with seven others worse than himself, to find his 'home' all clean and emptied out. why is it empty? because nothing lasting was put in there to fill it up so no demons could come in anymore. and I'm gonna tell you there is no lasting thing apart from Jesus. money, girls, steady work, hobbies, friends, whatever else we can fill ourselves up with is gonna fail and we'll eventually be empty again, and "the devil walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour" (1 Peter 5:8), and no one is easier to devour than the sheep lost without a shepherd to keep him full. Jesus is the Good Shepherd, as he said in John 10:11-15. God cares about you, man, and he wants to save you, that's what the oft-repeated verse John 3:16 is about. reconcile yourself with God, you will never regret it. just believe Jesus died to pay for your sin and that he rose from the dead to prove he was the Son of God. and if you can't believe today at least look into it for yourself while you still can. as long you're breathing it's not too late to give your life over to God. and remember to thank him for each breath until then. i hope you will consider these things. I'll pray for you. God bless
Part I, Verse 1: "Blood on my dagger from enemies' throats" Part III, Verse 1: "Said they found his babies with their throat slit" two different perspectives in this song, the guy in the first part is the friend of the guy in the third part.
i really dont get this line especially combined with the “aint seen em since they momma tried to kill em” line and im confused if its his friend or his friends wifes perspective in the first part
@@jensmarino5954 i think their mom tried to kill him, because she caught him cheating with some "fat bitch" and he had to jump out the window butt naked
I think the best decision i ever made is making music my hobby and finding hidden gems like this, some years ago i never couldve imagined that the best music is hidden.
something like that. listen to the interlude starting at 4:20 (??): "labels" "feel no guilt" "taking your money" "the reason that my people say they tired of rap" plus the sound in the back of the words, that mounting tension indicating some kind of frustration, before the second track busts out exactly why he refused to join any label or make rapping a 'grind'. at the time he recorded this, he's disgusted by the superficiality, the lack of conscience, the mindless greed, and how everything is just rehashing what's been done, making no efforts to progress the artform, tiring the whole genre out and making the whole culture look bad as a result, or whatever. thus the greater purpose for writing this track. he's thoroughly sick of what the industry glorifies, hence the "does he have some sort of social responsibility?" sample. basically all the kids who said/say they wished he kept doing Ugly Mane cause they like the satanic teenage angst-sounding hiphop have no idea what he was really trying to do with this project. really good music (or any art) doesn't keep you bogged down nodding your head stoned out of utility to the world around you. it pushes you to think about what the hell you're even doing and why and why you're not doing something bigger, if you're not; and if you are it pushes you to keep on keeping on, and harder. music like this should be enjoyed on repeat only until you absorb it and don't need to hear it anymore. almost like a cathartic thing. this is why things like Ugly Mane end. there's all kinds of examples of this in entertainment of all sorts. stop saying you wish X had kept doing more. it's all going according to plan.
Nah when Trick Dice came out, Lyle specifically mentioned how he hated that people try to fit these layered lyrics with the "metaphysical missile to your physical membrane" or create these giant underlying narratives that arent immediately realized that people gotta get a magnifying glass for. The only thing he really gave a shit about was freestyling in the basement with some homies and having fun with it, really enjoying spittin' back and forth. But yeah, for sure he didnt care about the marketing and pushing this sound further. He had fun with it but it just became a task rather than something to flow with
"You're homeboys change sometimes, thoughts rearrange in they brain sometimes, its kinda hard dealing with the pain sometimes, but you gotta let go you can't change they lives" shit hits so hard I feel like most if not all of my friends have changed on me
Had a close friend who was less than a year away from getting a $100k job straight out of college. Straight A student, but had a fucked up family and ended up throwing it all away for heroin. We couldn't help him. His own dad went back to selling dope as soon as his son turned 18 and left the house, and his mom would do coke with us when we were too young to understand how fucked it all is.
"Ya homeboys change sometimes the thoughts rearrange in they brain sometimes but ya gotta let go you can't save they lives." Too true nail on the head 😔😕
yo i realized the first part is ugly mane's friend in a drug fueled rage, murdering his fam and all that. and the second part is ugly mane talking to his friend, feeling uneasy about the path his friend is going down, and when he sees his friend's relative he realizes he has lost his friend forever
I always interpreted it as Lil Ugly Mane switching up his style from a hardcore horrorcore rapper to a concious rapper, hence the "doesn't he have some kind of social responsibility? Should he change his style?" stuff that's in between the verses. It's Lil Ugly Mane realizing he as a rapper has the ability to impact people positively and decides to become socially concious.
necro bump... i interpret this as the follow up to the life of Mr. Thug after the coke is gone/events of Mr. Thug - Isolation (maniac drug dealer). so I guess you can say that I'm thinking Mr. Thug - Isolation is an album based off the actual life of someone Travis actually knew who did that thug shit, including killing his kids because he was corrupted by the darkness and fell into an endless sleep.
Matthew Perez travis doesn't seem like that type of person to know people like that...if you read the bedwetter thing you could say that maybe ugly is just a character travis made in his head and oblivion access foward is just travis rapping

Ugly mane is one of the best rappers and producers of the last 15 years this shit is incredible. Slept on this for so long. His stage name really does him a disservice imo
pretty sure thats a nod to Memphis rappers, there were a bunch of rappers in the 90s and early 2000s with the word "Lil" in their name especially in Memphis. Don't let these old head idiots fool you that the only Lils are Pump and Peep
'I'm post-mortem, these boys want war I transport 'em Right to Hell, in a trance when I write the spell Leave the blood on my hands cuz I like the the smell In the death business, you the clientele" Love it!
Ugly mane has never been on a label which is why he has all the creative freedom to be one of the most innovative and original artists i have ever heard.
Took me a lot of listens to realize the “corrupted by the darkness now u fall into an endless sleep” was being looped. I thought i was listening to gibberish lol
the second half always hits me hard. there's so many people i used to run with, but couldn't keep up because of substances got the best of them. As much I wish i could help them now no matter how much money and success i have today they can only help themselves. Addiction is a pos.
god, im so late but this song is so amazing. Listening to a story in rap is something i never really come across. this is the story of someone corrupted by his own mind. a sociopath who is trying his best to get back in touch of his own emotions. he lost everything. he is miserable. but he feels no guilt. even though he (maybe) harmed his children, he can't feel anything. but he doesnt want to feel this way, hes denying the way he thinks so much that he lost himself. he is miserable. he needs solace but cant escape his own mind. he is the evil he doesnt want to be.
I don't think anyone will ever be able to appreciate this album the way it should be. Re visiting this album after a couple of years and Ugly still speaking wisdom to me through Uneven Compromise. Good shit man.... Just fucking amazing
Got to see him last night after listening to him for 7 years. Can't believe he played this shit. Even saw him smoking a dart when I walked in. I didn't want to bother him because he's really to himself afaik but fuck I'm still hyped.
This is the logical end of hip hop, everything has been done, in the end hip hop trangresses it's genres and goes full on deconstruction, everything breaks down along wih the dream of the romantic idea of gangster life, talking about life experinces and so on. All thats left is pure unadultered darkness...
this is definitely more than a simple throwback sound. I feel like whats being deconstructed is the idea of what Rap is. And that is just getting people to really express themselves without being scared if it sounds like a "rap" and just making it their own. And this means taking on influence from artists and ideas that would seem COMPLETELY foreign, or unrelated to the genre. at the end of the day you kinda just question why the fuck we want to put rules in our head as to what an abstract thing like Rap, should or shouldn't be.
+john Mars isn't it the same with every musical genre? Be it rap or rock, they can always be broken down to a romantic perspective of pain, anger and being odd but special
I felt that before too, different song though. Things haven't been the same since that night. Just makes you wonder what kind of soul Lil Ugly Mane has in order to be able to make this music. That thought blows my mind.
It's crazy how many times I've listened to this and didn't notice in the first part it repeats "corrupted by the darkness u fall into an endless sleep"
If you or a friend is struggling THERE IS HELP, THERE IS HOPE. Please do not give up on society even if it failed you.. your existence might can change things.. Do not give up
When he played this shit live years ago in Baltimore I fuckin cried, but shit was something I needed to hear. Long live the lost. Fuck heroin. Fuck fentanyl harder.
Does anyone know the source of the piano part that starts around 3:22? If that's his original stuff, is that an excerpt of a full song or something? Goddamn beautiful sounding.
"Your homeboys change sometimes Yo the thoughts in their brain rearrange sometimes Its hard dealin with the pain sometimes But you gotta let go you can't save they lives." Wish I knew how to let go sometimes. Part II is some of the realest shit I've ever heard. Living in one of the largest heroin ports on the east coast this shit hits home.
I listened to this track for 6 years by now and i liked the dark vibe and the beat, but just now i actually LISTENED to it.Had a friend like that , good soul , the dark side took him though. I havent seen since then , i still keep thinking about him all these years. I hope hes doing well but i really doubt it.
Lil ugly mane makes some good music. This was the first song I heard by him and I randomly stumbled across this just a few months. I'm not sure how I didn't hear about him years ago, but I'm glad I found out last about him regardless
Lil Ugly Mane is probably the most talented man out of this entire camp of cloud rappers and memphis rap revivalists
Him, and DJ SMOKEY forsure.
Easily! Next to the godfathers triple 6 mafia

Beat from 0:00 on is beautiful
beat from 10:32 and on is beautiful
[Intro]
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
[Verse 1]
Enter my chamber you never will leave
Festering bodies will cover the streets
Satanic prophecies, Christian hypocrisy
Bury me deep in the filth and disease
Open my mind and then hammer it closed
Into the darkness I'm strangled and choked
Tracing the patterns and numbers in smoke
Blood on my dagger from enemies throats
Crucify ghosts in a frozen abyss
Ocean of planets in total eclipse
Nowhere I wander wherever I drift
Using a razor to open my wrists
My body is vacant, my soul is enslaved
To a hatred as ancient as day and night
Ladder of Jacob, the devil awakened
In hell I created, I pray tonight
[Hook]
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
[Verse 2]
Same wolf from that folklore
Drinking blood right out of that that goat horn
I'm post-mortem, these boys want war
I transport 'em, right to Hell
In a trance when I write the spell
Leave the blood on my hands cause I like the the smell
In the death business, you the clientele
Motherfuckers can't win cause I'm trying to fail
Flesh is the fabric that covers my robes
Blood is the matter that built up my throne
Nothing but shadows, I'm waiting alone
Deep in my coffin, I call it my home
Cowering and broken
I'm a victim of my evil deeds
But I don't need your sympathy
I'm comfortable in misery
[Outro]
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep
Corrupted by the darkness, now you fall into an endless sleep

Ugly mane is one of the best rappers and producers of the last 15 years this shit is incredible. Slept on this for so long. His stage name really does him a disservice imo
True, judging by his name i thought he was a mumble rapper but he turned out to be one of the most lyrical rappers i ever heard
pretty sure thats a nod to Memphis rappers, there were a bunch of rappers in the 90s and early 2000s with the word "Lil" in their name especially in Memphis. Don't let these old head idiots fool you that the only Lils are Pump and Peep
The third part has is possibly the illest beat I've ever heard.
This is probably one of the FUCKIN SICKEST BEATS I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
there's like 3 or 4 beats in this song can you elaborate
@@stop.all of them are sick asf
@@stop. 4:59 best beat on Uneven Compromise
Heard a lot about Ugly Mane, but I've got into his music literally right now, and its fucking fire, it's so inspirating.
one of the greatest songs ever
'I'm post-mortem, these boys want war I transport 'em
Right to Hell, in a trance when I write the spell
Leave the blood on my hands cuz I like the the smell
In the death business, you the clientele" Love it!
Mfs can't win cuz I'm tryna fail
'these boys want war i'll transport 'em
Right to hell'
that line has played in my head on and off for years since i first heard this track. Cold af.
2014 cringe
@@bumpyride69reddit gold bro
Ugly mane has never been on a label which is why he has all the creative freedom to be one of the most innovative and original artists i have ever heard.
OPEN MY MIND AND THEN HAMMER IT CLOSED
INTO THE DARKNESS I'M STRANGLED AND CHOKED
Deep in my coffin I call it my home
favorite lil ugly mane track
lung pollution is starting to become my favorite
Purple Potion
that's supasortahuman on the first verse
check out his song ufoin if you haven't before
Took me a lot of listens to realize the “corrupted by the darkness now u fall into an endless sleep” was being looped. I thought i was listening to gibberish lol
Wtf yoooo
Masterpiece i listened to this 5 years straight and still its the best i heard
I came here after 9 years and still fire
The end of this song is what happens to those who never make it out.
... honestly i'm spooked nobody else is talking about the second half when ive seen it tons of times... and am living it myself honestly 😶🌫️
This song changed my life. Started looking at things from the broader scheme of things. Thank you lil ugly mane
THE BEST HIP HOP SONG OF ALL TIME
Straight facts bruh
This.
100%
All of you are white.
@@gfmhd1280 Foh
The Final Boss of the Hip-Hop
was looking for that fan
i can't stop coming back to this
I feel like my skin's being ripped off and being reassembled by an unfriendly being...
ow
Brutal
You’re definitely on that pack
is he opening your mind and then hammering it closed
I hope you're okay
I just realized that behind the green text it says Ugly Mane in black text, upside down. Pretty cool.
Pretty cool
Dat upside down ugly mane is legit though
Ugly did all his art, hope he does visual shit in the future or something
holy shit that took me 5 years to see
the second half always hits me hard. there's so many people i used to run with, but couldn't keep up because of substances got the best of them. As much I wish i could help them now no matter how much money and success i have today they can only help themselves. Addiction is a pos.
sounds like 90s rap mixed with a dark twist.. i love it.
god, im so late but this song is so amazing. Listening to a story in rap is something i never really come across. this is the story of someone corrupted by his own mind. a sociopath who is trying his best to get back in touch of his own emotions. he lost everything. he is miserable. but he feels no guilt. even though he (maybe) harmed his children, he can't feel anything. but he doesnt want to feel this way, hes denying the way he thinks so much that he lost himself. he is miserable. he needs solace but cant escape his own mind. he is the evil he doesnt want to be.
So fckin amazing
so am i
This is a masterpiece in rap music
the story telling on this track literally gives me goosebumps, LUM will never be recognized enough for his talent..dude was so ahead of his time.
Yeah what trips me out about LUM is that he does stuff in a ton of genres too, he’s just really talented
stairway to heaven of the underground mane.
Honestly one of the best tracks of all Earth time
This is Ugly Manes masterpiece
they should really show this at schools instead of all those anti drug psas
no, they really shouldnt
@@chugfabulosa why not
@@2millionblunts because they would probably say it sucks and not listen
@@jemusu8271 the trick is to get them to listen to it ON drugs
good point, however i feel like this song could probably traumatize anyone under the age of like 13, so it’s probably not a good idea
I don't think anyone will ever be able to appreciate this album the way it should be. Re visiting this album after a couple of years and Ugly still speaking wisdom to me through Uneven Compromise. Good shit man.... Just fucking amazing
Holy shit i just realized that ugly mane sampled infinite waters diving deep
Where abouts?
:D
@@illmindedchild8331 3:33
Got to see him last night after listening to him for 7 years. Can't believe he played this shit. Even saw him smoking a dart when I walked in. I didn't want to bother him because he's really to himself afaik but fuck I'm still hyped.
he didn't play the second half btw
corrupted by the darkness now u fall into a endless sleep
Secret Circle, this guy ain't quitin'.
Lurk until it hurts you.

I don't know how many times in a row I've listened to this music.
Still the best underground song of all time
No doubt

offff.... what a track man. ugly one of the greatest to ever take the mic
This is the logical end of hip hop, everything has been done, in the end hip hop trangresses it's genres and goes full on deconstruction, everything breaks down along wih the dream of the romantic idea of gangster life, talking about life experinces and so on. All thats left is pure unadultered darkness...
john Mars stfu...
+Red
You realize this is just a throwback to underground 90's Memphis rap. I like Lil Ugly Mane, but he's not doing anything new.
this is definitely more than a simple throwback sound. I feel like whats being deconstructed is the idea of what Rap is. And that is just getting people to really express themselves without being scared if it sounds like a "rap" and just making it their own. And this means taking on influence from artists and ideas that would seem COMPLETELY foreign, or unrelated to the genre. at the end of the day you kinda just question why the fuck we want to put rules in our head as to what an abstract thing like Rap, should or shouldn't be.
+john Mars
How this comment has gotten 45 likes is beyond me.
No, everything hasn't been done. Only a pretentious loon would think that.
+john Mars isn't it the same with every musical genre? Be it rap or rock, they can always be broken down to a romantic perspective of pain, anger and being odd but special
the first half goes hard as hell!!!!!!!!
u go deaf after the first half?
Whole song slaps
@@---yx7ti lmao, perfect response. Whole song goes hard and I’d be willing to bet most think the second half is better
I felt that before too, different song though. Things haven't been the same since that night.
Just makes you wonder what kind of soul Lil Ugly Mane has in order to be able to make this music. That thought blows my mind.
Crucified ghost in a frozen abyss, oceans of planets in total eclipse, nowhere I wander wherever I drift, using a razor to open my wrists
Whoa I’m woeful
Yea idk how someone could come up with that
This is the conclusion to hip hop
It's crazy how many times I've listened to this and didn't notice in the first part it repeats "corrupted by the darkness u fall into an endless sleep"
the best beat ever created and the most goated lyricism of all time is the same song. Truly incredible
good shit ugly mane. the bars remind me a of old jedi mind tricks
Wow it’s been a decade since this released, time is so fragile please use it
Labels feel no guilt taking yo money 💯 if that ain’t the truth
his music will always be the most special
i've always been astounded at how awesome this is. a masterpiece
This track is so great it makes me want to break down and cry...
Crazy how real this is
This where suicide boys got that fire beat from I like this better tho fr
It's okay, everyone does Lol
Dead ass yo. They make some quality shit , but this is just outright raw music.
@@jungfranco4530 after getting into LUM $B sounds like pop music to me now
If you like it check out old 3 six mafia
Glad you found this, $B made me barf after hearing them ruin this
fuck man people slept on this shit is fucken dope and raw af wtf
you are the best ugly mane i wish u didnt wanna stop
yeah, i know right
+Kayla McCarthy yea :(
+deadmane this song makes me hella sad but i love it. the last few lines really mean something to me
+Kayla McCarthy lyrics n beats go perf together
+deadmane I really don't wanna end this conversation lol
If you or a friend is struggling THERE IS HELP, THERE IS HOPE.
Please do not give up on society even if it failed you.. your existence might can change things.. Do not give up
Sickest lyrics on everythin he does big ups Lil'Ugly Mane all day, u can legit feel what he says everytime
I wonder how bad he would diss someone if he ever made a diss song
That would be amazing to see
uksdontlookback it wouldn't be a smart move to diss someone like Mane.
Erick Serna im saying If someone gave him crap, and with his lyrical skill, he would own, not just randomly dissing
These boys want war, I transport em
Right to Hell
ehmazin dankness
Whenever I brush my teeth to this song my gums start to bleed
You need to floss g
"Looking at the stars like, "what they fuck could make you say that?
Naw love, I can't even play that.""
got dam
Woah I'm Woeful
fuck that
Lol
ted the commenter nah
This shit even darker than that shit
how to trigger lil ugly mane fans
When he played this shit live years ago in Baltimore I fuckin cried, but shit was something I needed to hear. Long live the lost. Fuck heroin. Fuck fentanyl harder.
Look out for your homies no matter what
Anyone else got a Tommy Wright III vibe to the chorus in the first half
vinter skjal I’m seeing Lil Ugly Mane and Tommy Wright III on the same bill tonight!
They both fucking killed it by the way
@@Dusty2455433 I hope they do music together would be sick
Somebody needs to put this Shit on Vinyl. One Side 10" I would recommend.
+Inf. Frytz ormolycka put it on a LUM singles compilation album

+LUCiFER FRAXiUS new york, im not even 30 fucking minutes away from where hes mailing the shit from. ridiculous.

Best EP of the 2010s

10:32 always catches me off-guard
Goofy Goober i just got the living hell scared out of me by it 😂
been few years listening to this and this shit still giving me heart attack
Noise Hop
*Earrape*
It just hit me, I feel like maybe there's a message hidden in there and its just distorted to all fuck. Someone try to decode this.
Lil ugly mane is the Van Gogh of rap and this is his Starry Night
Does anyone know the source of the piano part that starts around 3:22? If that's his original stuff, is that an excerpt of a full song or something? Goddamn beautiful sounding.
Bruh I'm trying to find out too. Can someone help

I dont need your sympathy I'm comfortable in misery
"Your homeboys change sometimes
Yo the thoughts in their brain rearrange sometimes
Its hard dealin with the pain sometimes
But you gotta let go you can't save they lives."
Wish I knew how to let go sometimes. Part II is some of the realest shit I've ever heard. Living in one of the largest heroin ports on the east coast this shit hits home.
I listened to this track for 6 years by now and i liked the dark vibe and the beat, but just now i actually LISTENED to it.Had a friend like that , good soul , the dark side took him though. I havent seen since then , i still keep thinking about him all these years. I hope hes doing well but i really doubt it.
Im a victim of my evil deeds but i dont need your sympathy im comfortable in misery
Lil ugly mane makes some good music. This was the first song I heard by him and I randomly stumbled across this just a few months. I'm not sure how I didn't hear about him years ago, but I'm glad I found out last about him regardless
