($tones) Look
I swear you're critical to everything I wanted here
'Cause I was minding my own business 'til you wandered here
But since you left me I been going through it, thinking 'bout a lot
And I just keep on holding back by getting caught in fear
It's like you show up for a second then you disappear
How can you tell me that you love me but won't shed a tear
I tried to be your shining knight just like a cavalier
But then you went and switched everything up like what just happened here
So give me closure 'cause it's everything I got
You could throw this all away and I just watch you take your shot
I could never take advantage of the things you get a lot
But I been stuck up in the middle trying to get up out this spot, like
Dome blunts
Each and every moment that I get
Pour some
Clearly I ain't ever give a shit
More funds
Feel like I ain't ever getting rich
Chosen
These people never see until it clicks
These niggas shake your fucking hand but they be plotting on your bitch
Take notes, jot 'em down because they know that I'm the shit
One year I swear to god I'm burning every single bridge
Fuck it, pull up on they block to show these niggas that I'm lit
Clouded effort in my heart when I been trying to stack a grip
Like what a nigga gotta do to never have to work a job
'Cause it's been eating me alive just picking up all of these shifts
Said I been trying to set sail but ain't the captain of my ship
Said it's been eating me alive in disguise, I been feeling like I'm ten toes, down
But I been drifting through the lies in your eyes, no I'm never gonna get you, now
Let me see the things inside of your mind and you're never gonna get me, out
No you're never gonna get me
Oh no I said you're gonna get me, out
Help me get you out my head, can we pursue that
I done gave you all my heart up in the end to watch you use that
I done gave you all my words all just to watch you misconstrue that
How you crossing all these lines and pointing fingers when you drew that
'Cause I been up for days escaping nights like this, ignite my bliss
I'm eager just wipe my list and swipe my wrist
I never caught a vibe like this to fight my trips
And did it all despite my shit that I got going on
'Cause you showing me that it's simple
Like when people do you foul hit 'em back with the double dribble
Or when people throwing shade don't get caught up inside they riddles
These niggas just feeling threatened because you feeling official, like
Looking for everything I'm doing wrong
A constant struggle searching for the very place I feel that I belong
All of the things that only I prolong
I'll never truly understand until I finish writing every song
Said it's been eating me alive in disguise, I been feeling like I'm ten toes, down
But I been drifting through the lies in your eyes, no I'm never gonna get you, now
Let me see the things inside of your mind and you're never gonna get me, out
No you're never gonna get me
Oh no I said you're gonna get me, out
With every cut I placed on my skin, with every drop of blood that left my body
I wondered if the words would leave me too
I felt like everyone could see right through me, like my life was at a standstill
Constantly waiting for the approval of others who only sent me rejection letters
I diminished under the weight of my own non-existent self worth
I perished before the mirrors in the morning, I drowned
How could anyone ever say that words could never hurt you?
