The 19-year-old artist was set to be the first signed to XXXTentacion’s Bad Vibes Forever label, prior to the rapper’s tragic passing.
“Jahseh and Skye developed a great bond working on music together in Florida,” says XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleo Bernard. “Jah was in the process of signing Skye to his label Bad Vibes Forever. I’m grateful that Skye and his team were able to see ‘Voices’ through in honor of Jahseh’s vision for what he was looking to do on his own label.”
Skye adds, “One of the main things that X always told me was that in regard to songwriting, what is real will prosper. I made sure to channel that energy while writing and recording this record. It was actually a coincidence that we decided to flip ‘I Miss You,’ not knowing Jah’s fate at the time. This song serves as the perfect tribute to my bro who I miss dearly and is in my thoughts every time I hear the track.”

Skye “Voices” ft. XXXTentacion lyrics:
[Intro: XXXTENTACION]
Yuh, aye, aye, aye
[Chorus: Skye]
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
Visions of you, racing, racing, playing
It’s all inside my head
Fucked up too many times
Some things are better left unsaid
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
[Verse 1: Skye]
Girl why you tryna save me? You should just save yourself
If I said that we could make it, I’d be lying to myself
Wishing I could hit reset, bad decisions I regret
Now you’re talking to your ex, yeah
I’m sad, I know like X, baby
[Verse 2: XXXTENTACION]
Ay, slappin’ on the pussy like a battle axe, uh
Got a bigger ass than a Cadillac, uh
Peanut butter drip, they got cataracts
Fucked his baby momma on a muhfuckin’ yoga mat, uh
Hunnid phone, hunnid phone, backpack
Laughing at these niggas like I’m muhfuckin’ Flapjack
I don’t fucking give a fuck, blackjack
School right this niggas like I’m motherfuckin’ Jack Black, uh
Yuh, yuh

[Chorus: Skye]
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
Visions of you, racing, racing, playing
It’s all inside my head
Fucked up too many times
Some things are better left unsaid
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
[Bridge]
This will be my best side
Now I feel like suicide
Baby, are you switching sides?
Why you out here telling lies?
It could have been you and I
Thought you were my ride or die
[Chorus: Skye]
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
Visions of you, racing, racing, playing
It’s all inside my head
Fucked up too many times
Some things are better left unsaid
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
[Outro: Skye]
Voices in my head
Voices in my head
