LOVE LOST (PROD. AKARI)
02:18
|
|||
recognizing my efforts are spotty and you were the same.
we used to speak to each other but now that's barely a thing.
u said u love from a distance because I'm bringing u pain.
I said I love you from an area that's small In its range.
all she wanted was a nigga who was willing to change.
I thought about it for a second since it wasnt your place.
can't believe we going thru it, why we do this
again?
if you ever been in love then i shouldn't
explain
one minute we're fucking with no discussion
fulfilling our daily budget that make us stomach.
pushing each others sensitive buttons.
strings on puppet , we tug it.
far too familiar, running.
rummage thru photos and text
my clothes carries your stench
my bed cold as it gets
without your head on my chest
them nights, covered in sweat.
where none of us is content.
we knew this finally it.
you take from me, unthankfully
until theres nothing to give.
and so the ending begins.
two halves, desperate attempt
at reconciling shit.
the house cluttered with kids.
the fence, garden and bridge.
the lifestyle we dreamt.
been burning into a crisp.
like how the fuck did it went
from love letter we send to
always arguing as if can't be bothered to mend
it's like a fracture on a rib is just a wonderful gift.
my relationship with love be unbalanced with guilt.
scars on my heart worn, ready bracing the split.
shit I've been single for a bit
and I can't figure what this is
traces of us hasn't lived
disillusioned or convinced
is it love if I commit
is it love if she permits
what's the verdict,
I've condensed
every flag
and every hint
to unordinary bonds
where nobody moving on
grip was weakened by the wrong
pair of lovers unaware
that they were beyond repair
friendly fire took it there
put two fingers in the air.
recognizing my efforts are spotty and you were the same.
we used to speak to each other but now that's barely a thing.
u said u love from a distance because I'm bringing u pain.
I said I love you from an area that's small In its range.
all she wanted was a nigga who was willing to change.
I thought about it for a second since it wasnt your place.
can't believe we going thru it, why we do this
again?
if you ever been in love then i shouldn't
explain

self discovery
don't you intervene
recovering me.
still gotta achieve.
self discovery
what the fuck you mean?
this is how I see
me becoming free
mama said I don't listen too good
never taking anything she would input
if you weren't aware, should've followed the hook
bouncing ball dribbles on the letters you look.
balance like cone and stick.
pressure isn't on the wrists.
more inside my solarplex
hopeful that I do ascend.
education.
some homies got smart
embarked, in a vicious lame job.
elevation
come fly with me
clipped wings
ducktape bruised peach
renovation
had to dip for awhile
while niggaz laughed
saying that I'm wild.
procrastination.
im focused
important
caught in my, in my
grandmama like damn,
how you gonna be the man of the house.
told her honey, you right. I'm out.
talmbout aspirations of a boy
still playing with his toys
till I deploy
they be plotting on my joy.
comedy duality and tragedies
fam I need to relocate
burn some incense
or some sage.
voodoo spirits sent away
discussions I won't entertain
wave lengths , maintained
clear path, this way.
Separation.
can't be here long,
far from uniting as one.
preparation.
my shoes been tied
willingness for flight
resembling kites.
invitation
destination will show
once our battleship
really starts to float.
inclination

you suddenly always winning
hard times, hard times.
we all gon get em
frequently at a loss.
depression I'm kinda fond.
your welcome to tag along

a leg and a fucking arm
palm reading and tarot cards.
wondering just who you are.
teenagers, I miss it. gosh.
days where we'd be.
passengers on the seat
the wheel was guided for me
I had to tweak it ya see
I like my privacy G.
I wanna drive thru the breeze
I'm tryna find me some peace
nothing coming with ease.
I ain't go to college
to be honest
that ain't in my optics
I wanted to profit
without having to fill any wallets
can't nobody stop us
we propelling like them fuckin choppers.
ima do it proper.
because I know ima only prosper.
fuck bout what you think of me
I don't need no damn degree
if you failing , you'll succeed
nothing ever far to reach.
struggles that we juggle be
really easy when you breathe
everything is everything
and we about to spread our wings.
and at the highest of the highs.
I was the lowest no surprise.
these niggaz love to tell you lies
I rather truthfully decline.
and even though isn't whole
it's a hole way deeper I suppose.
count my woes
bumps and bruises up the noise.
take it slow.
take it slow.

tatted thug life on our bellies.
popping guns before confetti
killer instinct in already

activism leading many
can he make that operation
hazardous our occupation
brash decisions plaguing
niggaz trapped in situations.

if you drop it, see you later.
youngest niggaz in the set
sipping whiskey to deflect
traumatic experience.
goofies switch to serious.
i dont like this period.

I remember chicken tenders
dipping ketchup
ramen noodles beef infested
mortal combat, playing tekken
as my recollection
then they took my presence.
December eleventh

back in the east,
days when nobody was fucking with me.
losing some people I thought never leave.
too many niggaz aspire to be.
leaders but neither responsible, sheesh.
all my attention been focused on me.
I gotta get better.
maturity measured
connecting antennas right over the sea
back in the
back in the
back in the east,
back when my teacher was Abdul Latif
I was still cutting, just look at my sleeves.
told you my nigga, i am where I be.
value my work cause it coming from hurt.
who gonna put a price on what Im worth.
moment I stop I'll be laid in a hearse.
bouncing balls dribble on letters I word.
niggaz and bitches got nothing but interest
depicting editions of snakes in attendance.
I'm dipping my toes before walking on liquid.
I meant it, correcting my own masochism.
no longer the victim, I broke out the prison
I hear you my nigga but who gonna listen?
they claiming I'm tripping, I guess be bitching.
and silence is stronger than yelling & hitting.
my own intuition go off like a pistol
detaching whoever the man in the middle
It's fuck everybody and that is official.
the biggest is often thenigga with little
cause
I was just hating myself (self)
wasn't accepting no help. (help)
loneliest I ever felt. (felt)
exit the stage to the left. (LOW)
chours:
and if you talking bout friends
then I can not count on them
I'm a young sad nigga and I ain't gonna pretend.
I'm a young sad nigga and want it all to end.
and if your talking bout life,
then you better get it right
I'm a young silly nigga happiness never applied
I'm a young silly nigga and i really wanna die.
verse two:
yea I'm a hoe and I know I'm a freak.
what other things are they saying bout me.
some of these niggaz be thinkin they deep.
only the surface, their ankles will freeze.
sizzle, we popping, like hamburger grease
closest to me cheering on my defeat.
closest to them, got more sympathy, sweet.
trusting my homies gets hard by the week.
hustle,
my muscles
not privy to comfort
rock hoodies in summer
so cuts undiscovered.
the gutters I utter
are unlike no other
that's true for my sister
and three of my brothers.
maybe I'm timid
or maybe I'm different.
i muster the courage to change how I'm living
I get it, you got it.
these people be toxic
I'm part of the problem
and rarely unconscious.
outro:
back in the east
(woah woah)
back in the east
(no no)
back in the east
(yo yo)
back in the east
(go go)
back in the east
(yea yea)
back in the east
(oh oh)
back in the east
(aye aye)
back in the WOAH

and he strong,
son growing but his father isn't home

for his sins he been attoned
when you enter battle zones,
death is chilling at the door.
baking soda on the stove
whip it, flick it, for your nose.
choices we be making get you sent on a vacation
where the guards will test your patience.
well aware it's pretty blatant.
walking with them detonators
anything can set us off.
better watch who you call soft.

came to the conclusion,
that you niggaz like.

love don't mean shit unless you can provide
gave you all of me and yall ain't spare a dime
on a other type of time.
double crossing, it's a crime.
always on the grind, hardly getting by.
beneficial to these niggaz way of life.
but this is where we drawing lines.
name another nigga that done balanced criticism
on his negative opinions while upholding their appendage bleeding frequently, I did it.
since your swords are pretty rigid
and y'all stab me like some bitches.
fuck whatever, it's cemented.
and hope you really meant it.
don't you ever try to visit.
slither underneath the rug
when I welcomed yall with hugs.
so it's crickets when y'all done
feeding off a feeble plug
sure enough,
nobody been showing up.
feel like I'm a foreigner.
roaming all them corridors
haunted mansion
rats are rampant
who revamping
am i just an sadist lacking
some compassion
granny told me prayer good,
I've been getting higher too.
devil lettuce laced with woods
cabin fever ain't approved.
22,
I was devastated, locked behind my room.
got consumed, spit and chewed
fuck, am I supposed to do
in a castle that's littered with golden apples
the only 1 they was after is Adam's my nigga.
that shit really bothers a nigga damn.

know it's messy where I am at, but I cant sweep the broom.
I know I'm fucking up and it's considered
pitiful.
I know my morals give a wrong impression which is true.
I know we haven't interacted yet respect
ensued.
sorry I misunderstood
lately I've been overused.
on a rainy avenue
I tried to piece it using glue.
however shit aint feasible.
I needed room for growth
fetishizing being choked.
shouldn't joke but it's funny, when I wrote.
why I couldn't stay afloat.
I'm alone, couple hundred in my phone.
careful who you calling bro
bigger scope, my ambitious tetter north.
and of course, I've absorbed
so much shit whenever home.
as I close, circles tighten round my throat.
can't control how nigga be reacting to his own.
reflection as it goes, transparent, naked
I can't take it anymore.
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
I can't take it
verse two:
I know why you abandon me in search for grander goose.
I know what to expect and I ain't make the fucking rules
I know you somewhere far away and this won't get to you.
I know I'm somewhat problematic so what else is new?
miscommunication, was my language
once together, now we're strangers.
and it angers me inside, more specifically
besides.
where I tend to bottle dive, my emotions till they spike
then I fight people who were only kind
intertwined with my mind angel numbers ain't reprise.
pandemonium,
ain't nowhere near Babylonian.
exodus, one man versus all them warriors.
California, sun rays blinded my cornea,
when im going up, can't carry anchors.
I throw the dub.
down my luck but I just hit a uzi and shoulder shrug.
more than once, question was
