When I'm away from you
I'm happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn't true
And this one is for the champions
I ain't lost since I began
Funny how you said it was the end
Then I went did it again
You don't need me to tell you what's gone wrong
You know what's going on
And it seems to me we've not cared enough
Or confided in each other at all
It seems like we've all got our backs against the wall
Time waits for nobody
Time waits for no one
We've got to trust one another
Or we'd have no more future at all
Wasting your time
You're wasting mine
I hate to see you leaving
A fate worse than dying
A song to me is more than just some bullshit and words
It's the only time some nobody like me would be heard
You're booin' me cause you're losin', it's funny to watch you fumble
Your word is empty and sad, like your girl, you met her on Bumble
Your team is lazy and jumbled, my team is there if I stumble
They turn a rap in a mumble, I keep it real and stay humble
I know where I'm from but I don't stay no more
'Cause everyone back home don't act the same no more
So tell these motherf-ckers I ain't playin' no more
I'm drownin' out my problems 'til my pain no more
If you want the best of my heart
You just gotta see the good in me
I want to feel your depth, but your heart is deaf when you talk to me
Witt Lowry - Let Me Know, Album: I Could Not Plan ThisYou were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star, you fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us alight
We all need that someone who gets you like no one else
Right when you need it the most
We all need a soul to rely on, a shoulder to cry on
A friend through the highs and the lows
I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Nobody's perfect, I'll never try, no
But I promise I'm worth it if you just open up your eyes
I need a second chance, I-I need a friend
Someone who's gon stand by me right there 'til the end
These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go, a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing, alive
If all of the kings had their queens on the throne
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
Baby, you're not dancing on your own
Do you ever feel like a misfit?
Everything inside you is dark and twisted
Oh, but it's okay to be different
'Cause, baby, so am I
Not your barbie girl, I'm livin' in my own world
I ain't plastic, call me classic
You can't touch me there, you can't touch my body
Unless I say so, ain't your barbie, no
You take all of the light away
But then you give me fireworks
I think of leaving night and day
But then you always find the words
My head and my heart are torturing me
Lost my mind in your arms, I go to extremes
When angels tell me run, and monsters call it love
My head and my heart are caught in-between
She'll make you curse, but she a blessing
She'll rip your shirt within a second
You'll be coming back, back for seconds
With your plate, you just can't help it
I got my thigh-highs on, feel like Wonder Woman
That's when you want all in, but I'm not your woman
When my lipstick pops and I feel like Monroe
That's when you want me most
Let's jump on a plane, see the world together
Give you my last name, be my girl forever
Heart been broke so many times I don't know what to believe
Mama say it's my fault, it's my fault, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Think it's best I put my heart on ice, heart on ice 'cause I can't breathe
I'ma put my heart on ice, heart on ice, it's gettin' the best of me
They see the Instagram, the comments, and all the likes
But they don't see the make-up, and the breakups, and the fights
No one could understand, I had way too much aggression
That built over the years from my abandoned adolescence
See I done been lied to, backstabbed, and heartbroken
I wanted to cry but I was too afraid to open
Devil in a dress, angel in some Nike Airs
I could've sworn I went to sleep and she was right here
Don't know if I seen her in my dreams or my nightmares
I been feelin' pain for so long
I done became numb
I don't make it no better, I give my heart to whoever
They take it and they run
And I don't want no more love, I feel it's poison
Late at night I can't sleep 'cause I hear voices
Tellin' me I'm too deep, quit tryna force it
Got too much stuck on my chest, can't get it off of me
I put my demons to rest but they been stalking me
Lord knows I tried my best, I gave it all of me
Okay, I finally get the meaning of fighting demons
Late at night, I ain't sleeping, I'm up thinking
I'm on my convict, don't drop bars, I drop prisons
Don't sell rocks, seen the spectrum through the prisms
Before the money there was love
But before the money it was tough
Then came the money through a plug
It's a shame this ain't enough
Can't change the world unless we change ourselves
Joey Bada$$ - LAND OF THE FREE, Album: ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$Sometimes I speak and I feel like it ain't my words
Like I'm just a vessel channeling inside this universe
I feel my ancestors unrested inside of me
It's like they want me to shoot my chance in changing society
Sparring with a knife in a missile fight
Get your intel right, your intelligence is irrelevant
But it's definite, I spit more than speech impediments
So he demand silence from the glaring sirens
The sympathy symphony, only thing playing is the banned violence
No lying n-ggas just won't let go the iron
They wanna burn your molecules until you let go ions
Treat beef like they let go lions
Sorry America, but I will not be your soldier
Obama just wasn't enough, I need some more closure
And Donald Trump is not equipped to take this country over
Let's face facts 'cause we know what's the real motives
Uhh, since '95, momma been working nine-five
And I know the landlord fed up with our lies
So we pray to the Gods, the Jahs and the Allahs
To keep us safe and watch our lives
I used to feel so devastated
At times, I thought we'd never make it
But now we on our way to greatness
And all that ever took was patience
Okay, just gettin' better each day
Stackin' that cheddar, cheesecake
Oh well, some of us is taught there is help
The other source is lost in all sorts of wealth
And we smoking, toking potent herb
Preaching spoken words that just might poke your nerves
Time can tear down a building or destroy a woman's face
Hours are like diamonds, don't let them waste
Time waits for no one, no favors has he
Time waits for no one, and he won't wait for me
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back, let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
When I was a young boy, my father
Took me into the city to see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up would you be
The savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
They said "All teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed"
So, darken your clothes or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone, but not me
What will it take to show you
That it's not the life it seems?
I've told you time and time again
You sing the words, but don't know what it means
When you go, and would you even turn to say
"I don't love you like I did yesterday"?
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak
That if you say goodbye today
I'd ask you to be true
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
