Title: MR ILYAS - Almost Die (Official Audio)

Description:

"Where I put my blood, sweat and tears, created light... I swear to God I almost died."

"Almost Die" is a raw, unfiltered look at the dark side of ambition. When you are building an independent legacy, you have to navigate betrayal, fake friends, and the mental toll of the grind. This track blends heavy, introspective lyrics with the gritty, cinematic hip-hop sound MR ILYAS is known for.

๐Ÿ“ Lyrics (Snippet):
Every time I close my eyes,
I see the rest, you're looking in a mirror, that's the crimson line.
Where I put my blood, sweat and tears, created light.
I swear to God I almost died.

00:00Raise my heart
00:05Raise my heart
00:09Ay, every time I close my eyes
00:11I see the red streak in the mirror, that's the crimson line
00:14Where I put my blood switches, the clear light
00:16I swear to God, I almost died
00:20They lookin' at me sideways
00:21I said what I said, ho
00:23Fuck what I might say
00:25How the fuck you gon' be friends with my foes?
00:27Said it was her way to highway
00:29So I hit her with that nine
00:30So I had to let it blow, now she gettin' blown away
00:33How you steppin' out of line with no place to go?
00:36I told you I got killers, they on my payroll
00:38Cause you know I'm that
00:39I'm the first one to show you how to run the track
00:41They'll be the first ones to say you ain't deserve to get it back
00:44They were the first ones to say you ain't deserve to be in rap
00:47When you the first one to say I'm gon' be the first to get a plaque
00:50They gettin' tight cause they ain't clap
00:52I don't mean a round of applause, I mean they on they backs
00:55Pushing up the daisies and the trees and the grass
00:57You really out of your mind, must be on the crack
01:00You say I'm out of my mind, but at least I got the facts
01:02I mean for real, I got the stats
01:04How many times you said you kill me, but I'm still intact?
01:07How many times I told you I got shooters, but they stay on track?
01:10You had your dog chasin' my tail like I was a rat
01:12So when I get him off my ass, you want me to feel bad
01:15You crossed the line, you shoulda known better
01:17And when you see me doin' better, don't you know better than to get mad
01:24Every time I close my eyes
01:25I see the red streak in the mirror, that's the crimson line
01:28Where I pour my blood, sweat tends to create a life
01:31I swear to God, I almost died
01:35Shorty did me wrong
01:36I don't even want her, but I gotta keep her on
01:39That was my bad
01:40I shoulda known
01:41She's with the bad guys, it's only right that I let her go
01:44It's the pain of betrayal
01:45It's the love that I lost
01:46I'm up on a pedestal, it's a hell of a cost
01:49You love when they hate, but you hate when you lose
01:52Cause you know what it is and what you had
01:54It's a bitch that you blew it
01:55I'm a motherfuckin' legend, man, I thought that you knew it
01:58But you keep actin' stupid, keep actin' dumb
02:00I got a bag of fun, you had a bag, but it's done
02:02I put my bag in a song
02:04But the bet I got, I'm keepin' it under wraps
02:06The red in the mirror, I see it in my raps
02:09They see it too, so they put it on they tracks
02:12It's only right, they had to bite
02:15They need to be fittest and they appetite
02:17But I'm out of my head, I'm on another height
02:21My body on the bed, but my mind's on the flight
02:23And I could do better, but the deal's been set
02:26I said I could do better, but the deal's been set
02:28Every time I close my eyes
02:29I see the red streak in the mirror, that's the crimson line
02:32Where I pour my blood, sweat and tears, the creed of light
02:35I swear to God, I almost died
02:38Every time I close my eyes
02:40I see the red streak in the mirror, that's the crimson line
02:43Where I pour my blood, sweat and tears, the creed of light
02:46I swear to God, I almost died
02:48Oh, oh, oh, oh
