Step into the quiet pull of “Slip Away,” track eight on Bankrol Hayden‘s heartfelt new album Middle Of Somewhere, out today September 26, 2025, with its 12-song run clocking in at just over 13 minutes of raw emotion. Hayden, the Modesto-born rapper who turned heads with his 2020 breakout Pain Is Temporary – home to hits like “Brothers” with Luh Kel and “Costa Rica” featuring The Kid LAROI – has always had a knack for turning personal lows into relatable anthems. After a serious car crash in 2018 that could have derailed everything, he channeled that grit into a sound that’s equal parts melodic trap and bedroom pop, and Middle Of Somewhere feels like the next chapter in that story, full of late-night confessions and small-town reflections.
From the snippets circulating, “Slip Away” hits that sweet spot of vulnerability, with lines like “Time gon’ slip away / Don’t hold it, just hold me” capturing the ache of fleeting moments in a relationship that’s worth fighting for. It’s got that signature Hayden delivery – smooth flows over stripped-back beats that let the words breathe – tying right into the album’s theme of navigating love and loss in the everyday haze. Fans on X and Apple Music are already drawing lines to tracks like “2AM Somewhere” with charlieonnafriday, where the buzz of nostalgia meets the sting of what-ifs, or “One More Night Alone,” a closer that wrestles with ghosts in the bed. Whether you’re riding the wave of his post-Pain glow-up or discovering him fresh, “Slip Away” reminds us to grip the people who get us, all the way till death do us part. Dive into the Slip Away lyrics below and unpack its tender grip. Don’t miss other Middle Of Somewhere tracks like 2AM Somewhere for more of Bankrol Hayden’s heartfelt trap.

Lyrics of Slip Away by Bankrol Hayden
[Verse 1]
Small Town Got Caught Up Living Large
Tried Hard And Went Nowhere At All
Wish Life Had A Way To Restart
’cause I Hate Mine, Yeah, I Hate Mine
Your Hand Pulled Me Out Of The Mud
Just To Say That You’re Fed Up With Love
Now You Wanna Walk Around At The Club
Like You Ain’t Mine, That Shit Break My Heart
[Pre-Chorus]
You Were The Best At Making It Worse
You Were Only At Work, I’m So Insecure
I Was A Dick, You Was A Jerk
We Got A Whole Lot To Learn, First Time On Earth
[Chorus]
Time Gon’ Slip Away
Don’t Hold In, Just Hold Me
Do You Want To Make A Memory?
You Know Me, Just So Well
You’re My Spark All The Way Till Death Do Us Part
’cause The Time Gon’ Slip Away
The Time Gon’ Slip Away
[Verse 2]
Tears Streaming Like A Waterfall, Fuck It, I Ain’t Calling Y’all
Love Me When I’m Popping Like A Tylenol
Even When I’m Hurt, Coach Taught Me How To Walk It Off
But If I Walk Away, How The Fuck I’m ‘posed To Problem Solve?
Feel Like I Am Not Involved, Childhood Not Resolved
And It Still Burns, Sixteen Drinking Fireball
Now I Met My Heroes, Keep It Real, I Don’t Admire Y’all
I Thought That Being Rich Was Everything, But It’s Not At All
[Pre-chorus]
You Were The Best At Making It Worse
You Were Only At Work, I’m So Insecure
I Was A Dick, You Was A Jerk
We Got A Whole Lot To Learn, First Time On Earth
[Chorus]
Time Gon’ Slip Away
Don’t Hold In, Just Hold Me
Do You Want To Make A Memory?
You Know Me, Just So Well
You’re My Spark All The Way Till Death Do Us Part
’cause The Time Gon’ Slip Away
Time Gon’ Slip Away (Time Gon’ Slip Away)
[Outro]
Time Gon’ Slip Away
Don’t Hold In, Just Hold Me
Do You Want To Make A Memory?
You Know Me, Just So Well
You’re My Spark All The Way Till Death Do Us Part
’cause The Time Gon’ Slip Away
Time Gon’ Slip Away
