This song is about taking a leap of faith and not knowing where you'll land. This is track 3 on my brand new EP, "I QUIT MY DAY JOB" - out now everywhere! hyperfollow.com/dgtheartist/i-quit-my-day-job I was already really proud of this track before RISK hopped on, but her vocals at the end really tied it all together and that ended up becoming my favorite part of the song. Also I'm not a producer but I added those synths in the background in her part and they scratch my brain in a really nice way. Maybe I'll start producing more.

Featuring @Rscybusiness and produced by @MAXMIZACION!

Lyrics on Genius (and copy-pasted below): genius.com/Dg-the-artist-had-to-leave-lyrics

[Intro - DG the Artist]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus - DG the Artist]
I've gone insane
Someone should've stopped me
Everyone was right
If it's fake it 'til you make it
I'll be fakin' my whole life
I'm terrified
I'm dead inside
Where's the money comin' from in 2035?
I don't know
I don't know
I knew I had to leave
But where'd I have to go?
I don't know
I don't know
I knew I had to leave
But where'd I have to go?

[Bridge - DG the Artist]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1 - DG the Artist]
What's next (What's next)
What's that feeling in my chest
Is it stress (Yeah, yeah)
Is this life (Whoa)
Am I livin'
More or less (Yeah, yeah)
Am I cool (Whoa)
Need to know
Are you impressed (Need to know, yeah, yeah)
Or is everything just too far outta left field (Yeah)
I don't really give a fuck 'bout how the net feel (I've gone insane)
But it's people in real life who sayin' get real (I've gone insane)
And I'll say it back when they ask 'bout my record deal (Yeah)
They tryna get a mil (Oh)
Yeah

[Bridge - DG the Artist]
I've gone in
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I've gone in)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (I've gone in, I've gone insane)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I've gone insane)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (I've gone in, I've gone in)

[Chorus - DG the Artist]
I've gone insane
Someone should've stopped me
Everyone was right
If it's fake it 'til you make it
I'll be fakin' my whole life (My whole life)
I'm terrified (Terrified)
I'm dead inside (Dead inside)
Where's the money comin' from in 2035? (Thirty-five)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know
I knew I had to leave
But where'd I have to go? (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know
I knew I had to leave
But where'd I have to go?

[Bridge - RISK]
Ooh-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Mm-mm
Uh, ay

[Outro - RISK and DG the Artist]
Ah-ah (I've gone in)
I knew I had to leave (Sane, I've gone in)
Ah-ah, I knew I had to leave (Sane, I've gone in)
Ah-ah, I knew I had to leave (I've gone in, I've gone insane, I've gone in)
Ooh-ah-ah, I knew I had to leave
