To my dear departed Shit's becomin' all that I feared, here's where it that nothing's as it appears, swear it's retarded No wonder I get speared by my peers, yeah I'm a It to take a nation of millions for niggas not to be Amerikkka's Most gave hope Back when the music had a in it We was against it The best was intended to the gimmicks, but now Y'all a mess of it And somebody gotta address shit Rakim would never wear a and shit I ain't a to say I ain't impressed with it Your hearing's bad, you think it's alive, now that's the in it When it was all about bars, wanted to it Surround yourself with bullshit, you'll be to step in it Came here one objective, gettin' it further Now I'm watchin' my first love die, witnessin' When Common stopped ol' girl, what was he tellin' me? Cold world, now she won't dig you without a Love nerds, used to be niggas with felonies We a new president, where the fuck is Eric B? Or did my wordplay her? Now I see her with Thug and Future Like what did you do to her now My generalization is this The state of this gentrification, desensitization I call her, she's in room, everything is awkward now She moved more to south, her New Yorker crowd Met her a cane, she changed, prefer to walk it out Stopped eatin' meat when she heard I worked in a Now she's a new glued to the fame She used to hate accessorizin', now wearin' two chains Relationship too strained, I don't who to blame When I tell her, "You've changed", she say, "Who be the same" She right, 'cause this ain't the way we knew each Or do I face the fact that maybe we each other? It took a while, but that's understood She change if she could I swear if this is love, I'm
Everything has I can see it in fact Starin' at these four walls, angry they're starin' back Took a while, now it's understood we change it if we could? I if this is love, I'm good
Look, I get with you at all, our issue is tall You tied to every nigga now that a ball Did I miss a red flag? You fickle before I can't even ridicule y'all, that'd be a resolve talk about our history I feel like everything you say is Whenever you visit me I at you and see remembrance, remnants Plenty resentments, not you but there's resemblance We diss each all out of fun, shit amuses me You threaten every girl I'm with, that confuses me Say you want real soon, now that's abuse to me And I just write it in song like a muse to me I ask where you see yourself in five years How you about that, like what's the verdict? I wanna ask if you ever replay the past And if you do, when you is it worth it? I wanna ask if we love each so much How do we each other so much pain? Still in all in each others We've remained without a I know call that clinically insane How do we the games? Was once enemies and then energy refrained Wasn't to be, the synergy had us mentally drained Minimally sprained so he aims Despite when you you never could depend on me again oh we're here as none of this had ever taken place Are we checkin' to see if someone's takin' our As we front like we're takin' up I think currently the current we is our case But for Would that just seal it again Did it all hurt so much? Do we wanna feel it again? I it Took a while, still understood Would we change it if we I swear if this is love, I'm

You a lie You could cry, the of you and I, can't escape it Every lie she told you over the years, I'm face to with And now manifested overwhelmed and congested But neglected, I gotta respect it I can't explain to your so brain Since our first exchange you've been from me Used as weaponry And as much as I her I'd never downplay your mother that For you to judge her that Just a lesson later on you'll discover like that We not in this process, no, it's others like that But you spew these sly like "Why are we here? Like why are you why do you care how I dispair?" I eat that, see you got a grudge, lil' nigga We and blood, lil' nigga, no ifs, ands or buts, lil' nigga You can your dad is nuts, lil' nigga I'm talkin' to you you came out of my nuts, lil' nigga That's my on the matter, I won't budge, lil' nigga And I'll tell to your mother and the judge, lil' nigga At our court date, you gon' see that it's true Funny, my ways, I kinda see 'em in you Mannerisms I'm annoyed, yep I'm seein' that too I'm smilin', admirin' genes, I kinda think it's cute I was you twenty years ago when pop up But nothin' like you, sad how life'll a cycle You missin' intel a dad can give Can't expect you to This matter to a kid and since Our not understood I fix it if I could I swear if is love, I'm good
