[Verse 1: JUJ]
They all told me it was dangerous
I packed my bags and I headed west
I was Philly, now I'm Angeles
They say I won't be able to deal with the
Stress, stress, stress, stress
Headed for the iceberg
RMS Titanic to the new world
But it's not gonna get in my way

[Pre-Chorus: JUJ]
They say
"You're too young to move out on your own
You're reckless, use your head"
I say
"I hear you, I'm scared too
But I know it's time to move ahead," yeah

[Chorus: JUJ]
On the verge of a breakthrough
'Cause I got a life that needs livin'
Fear won't tell me what to do
Leaving was just the beginning
You, you
You
Don't kill my mood, mood
You
Don't kill my mood
[Verse 2: Vic Mensa]
I left home when I was 17 to chase a dollar and a dream
My brother got killed that same week I can still hear the screams
Echoed through the [?] where the violence is like Medellin
I keep a extra clip 'cause I got issues like a magazine
My life ain't been a easy ride but I believe that deep inside
The same struggles we survive give us reason to be alive
They tryna find my peace of mind 'cause tryna get a piece of mine
So much drama in recent times I just wanna leave it all behind

They say
"Don't [?]
You gon' make these people mad
Let 'em take shots like a bartender
Whole town I'ma keep a tab"
I said
"That's my life you can never stop me
When I'm dead and gone they won't forget about me
I'm lying hard then let a n***a doubt me
I'ma shine harder than Liberace"

[Pre-Chorus: Vic Mensa]
They say I'm on top of the world
I feel like it's on my shoulders
I can't let it bring me down
Gotta fight 'cause I'm a soldier
And it's never over we champions we won't lose
If it's the last thing I do I can't let 'em fuck up my mood
[Chorus: JUJ]
On the verge of a breakthrough
'Cause I got a life that needs livin'
Fear won't tell me what to do
Leaving was just the beginning
You, you
You
Don't kill my mood, mood
You
Don't kill my mood

[Bridge: JUJ]
You know that I'm sorry but I have to leave
Please, will you just let me breathe?

[Chorus: JUJ]
On the verge of a breakthrough
'Cause I got a life that needs livin'
Fear won't tell me what to do
Leaving was just the beginning
You, you
You
Don't kill my mood, mood
You
Don't kill my mood
[Outro]
Don't kill my
Mood
