Yeah
Yeah, I care for you but stay over there
Ain't no need to make amends when you've made yourself clear
Very clear, I'm talking crystal at that
No recovering that
Especially when you don't even claim me, broke my heart to pieces but I swear you won't stain me
I'm unchained
No longer batter-brained
I'm thinking how to further my name and see the world for what it is
I have to play to win this awful white man's game
Navigating my lane
You heard?
Why ask for forgiveness when forgiveness is not what I'm seeking?
Why take these women out when they're not worth the air they're breathing?
I may have broke a couple hearts, in turn, mine was broken back, like breaking her back in the bed, call me lumberjack
Who's that?
Little old me, I guess I'm nice on the mic
I kept this gift under wraps like mice hiding from light
And yeah, I stay in this jungle because I'm earning my stripes
Chasing money and influence, shorty keep the pipe dreams
Hear me scream
I spit the lyrical venom, won't let up, so surrender your team
I'm cool on him, I'm cool on her, I'm cool like dry-fit tee shirts, your teeth hurt?
Stop sucking them because of my success, I'm blessed, I know
Yes, the heat I tote, not inside my scrotum
I'm talking about delivery, "forgiving me?" you're kidding right?
Talking bad about me day and night, you're really kidding right?
I used to be very kind
Still am, I can't even lie
And yeah, I still care for you
And yeah, I'll be there for you
But if we never speak again, it ain't a day too soon
I mean, what'd you expect me to say?
Thought your dirt went unnoticed like some trash in the bay?
Or was that the idea?
Breaking up the trust to promote all this fear
Did you need a pick me up to send yourself to high gear?
You're weird rightfully so
Is it something that I should be ashamed of?
Because I still care for you though
It's like a toxic relationship
A backstabbing partnership
A symbiotic union with no regard for our common sense
I mean, is it a sin that we have shared interest?
But then again, I alter what I like while I'm scrolling on Pinterest
At times, I'm strong, but I really do have my limits
I'm only twenty two, hopefully I'm not finished
Hopefully I'm beginning
I want my family winning
Yeah, I care for you but I have no time for none of your ignorance
I was so disappointed but you know, I picked my head up
Mama lifted up my chin and told me "it's okay son"
I find it hard to forgive myself for how the way things played out
Or maybe it's played out to try to bring change about
All I know for a fact is that I want to be the best around
"No one can bring me down"
I try to just tell myself
I guess it's only normal to move on from that dusted shelf
Embrace the bigger picture and accept when in need of help
You asked if I care for you
You asked if I'm there for you
You asked if I ever gave a about you
I'm about you
I'm just not around you and frankly, I'm okay if we never speak again
Cause frankly I just want to make these moves for settlements
Riding on this bike of life, heartbreak pedals it
Falling off the stem of flowers, I need my petals fixed
Yes, I've been through, but I don't need a medal, kid
And yeah, I'm no highest bid or the sharpest tool in the shed but I stand on what I say and recollect what I said
Never feed myself when mama tells me that I've fed
I guess to keep it brief, I want to go and stack all this bread
I want to write about my life in this music with pencil lead
Thinking about my choices everyday with a level head
Instead
I want to be comfortable
I serve a select few
Stay over there but I'm saying I care for you
