Care for Me - Az Yet

Come down from your mountain Oh, I miss your holy shoutin' These days i can't make you make a sound Take me to the times where We'd look up to the skies and Climb up there and draw the thunder down Now im forcin' myself into What youve already been through But darlin' i can't help the way i feel And you need something stronger A drug to kill the hunger And ease the awful pain of leaving here Well im the kind of love it hurts to look at Maybe we should take it as a sign When im strung out on leaving Exhaulting all my demons And you dont care enough for me to cry I dreamt i'd take you with me And you'd say you'd forgive me And we'd live out some easy ancient song Now that i am unattendeted And splendid loves rememberence You're lost in my day and do me wrong And i'm the kind of love it hurts to look at Once i was enough to make you try Now i'm underneath the rubble Trying not to feel the trouble And you dont care enough for me to cry So here's to hoping i can change tomorrow You wanted hard as nails couldnt dry But i beg steal and borrow Im so damn good at sorrow And you dont care enough for me to cry

Where were you the night I called home? It felt real strange when no one answered the phone You told me, you'd never do me wrong, do me wrong But you can't explain why you stayed out all night long Was it something I said to you? What did I do to make you wanna leave? We tried our best, the very best our love could do Darling, there's nothing left for me to do I care, oh, I care for you Darling, I care for you, oh, I love you We told each other lies and we always tried Appealing to the softness just to survive I'm taking all I'm gonna take from you girl This love affair is tearing me apart Oh, you say over and over you're sorry All the while you're just laughing It's time for you to leave, yeah This is not the way I wanted our love to be Darling I care for you, you know I can't forget you girl no, no You, you, darling I care for you, I care for you girl Well you, I care, I can't, can't forget you, girl, no, no no I really care, yeah, yeah, for you, girl I think of all the times we spent together, girl Oh, we had so much fun, yes You don't know what you meant to me And how you made me feel Oh, the pain inside hurts so much girl You see I wanna say, baby Can I say, baby? I love you, no I care

Can a man be so blind That this vision can't be mine? 'Cause the shore won't draw the line When water rides in with the tide And for once I am driftin' But not on my own And now I'm right I should've been Here with you all alone I've been meaning to leave All those nights I was weak I gave up while you held it down You're still here, but I know That your heart's gettin' cold I'm holdin' tight, it's gettin' real now 'Cause I can't lose you 'Cause I care for you I can't lose you I care for you I care for you I care for you Sometimes I don't ask for help And you don't wanna open up And when you see my tears right now You want me to clean 'em up All these hateful words Usin' them to stab me Even though it hurts You can throw 'em at me, baby It takes a man to admit he messed up But girl, you gotta be fair 'Cause I can't lose you 'Cause I care for you I can't lose you I care for you I care for you I care for you, yeah (I care for you) I've been meaning to leave All those nights I was weak And you held it down (I care for you) You're still here, but I know That your heart is gettin' cold It's gettin' real now (I can't lose you) All these hateful words Usin' them to stab me Even though it hurts (I care for you) You can throw 'em at me 'Cause I can't lose you baby I can't lose you 'Cause I care for you I can't lose you I care for you I care for you I care for you, yeah

You awake to remind us, I equate to remind you Business they told you mind you, listen you ain't find your Self inside of this war, the devil dive in your door My Black, skinned, Christians, know the devil pry at your more My beautiful Black daughters, the ones who lash out in class Out of anger, that anger the fact they had no fuckin' fathers Or the ones they had, would touch their daughters We never knew 'cause they was quiet in school No one supports so many affection only came From fuck niggas that love in portions Or some older cats that never made love to f*ck, they forced it But it's the way that love was taught to you, shawty Nobody taught it, you gotta know that ain't your fault You tryna tear your mind comparin' yourself To someone who's brought up in family genes That means mother, father is present on family tree That mean you don't take all the blame 'cause they wasn't there That just means you a Black queen, who's life wasn't fair But God give unfair to the favorites None heirs to the hatred Tests that bring you faith when it's unclear what the fate is People talk 'bout your untamed hair, hey it's my favorite Dark skinned and light skinned Love you for what your shade is, it's Black Unapologetic and Afrocentric With enough curve and ass For me to not have to mention all of my apprehension With natural hair, you're fierce, they told you had to have extensions That was cappin' past the fiction Shawty you a whole ninth inning, championship When you battin' that shit'll past the fences You know I'm past attentive, let's make some last decisions My Black child I'm sayin' this 'cause I love you But love ain't come with the lessons That's gon' leave life all above you The police gon' hate up on you, the government's never for you But you can rise all above it, as long as you keep your lovin' I say this just 'cause I care And I care for you, for you And I'm there for you, I'm there for you And I care for you, for you And I'm there for you, I'm there for you

I found you in flares of city lights And your corner's the streets that I passed by Your heart beats a million miles away But I feel you with me now So please don't fade Somewhere, some way We've got a lifetime to live I've got my whole heart to give What can I hold on to If I haven't met you? All of our memories ahead So many good times left But what can I hold on to If I haven't met you yet? Imagine the sunset in July We'll dance like the waves on the coastline Imagine a dream where you don't wake Can you make it all slow down? We'll find our way Somehow, someday We've got a lifetime to live I've got my whole heart to give What can I hold on to If I haven't met you? All of our memories ahead So many good times left But what can I hold on to If I haven't met you? Nothing seems real without you Ooh-ooh-ooh Like I can't feel until I found you We've got a lifetime to live I've got my whole heart to give What can I hold on to If I haven't met you? All of our memories ahead So many good times left But what can I hold on to If I haven't met you yet?

Look I ain't did shit to you yet I ain't even shit on you yet You ain't my enemy yet But you ain't a friend to me yet Don't recognize you You ain't a friend to me yet Don't recognize you You ain't a friend to me yet Now I see the fear and the threats I see that it's hard to connect I see niggas calling the rain but the First to complain when they sneakers get wet I see that I'm on some new shit I see that it's something you hate But what is not growing is dead if you Can't understand get the fuck out my face You want something from me that I'm just not offering You wanna roll but you just not down for wandering You got potential, you got that, got that You gotta ride the wave, stop acting like that Look I ain't did shit to you yet I ain't even shit on you yet You ain't my enemy yet But you ain't a friend to me yet Don't recognize you You ain't a friend to me yet Don't recognize you You ain't a friend to me yet I can go on about days, days when I did it alone Had to go from couch to couch Now I am sippin' on thrones Time when my pockets was bare Times when I just didn't eat Times when my stomach was growling, My best friend and I went to sing on the street I made a few dollars that day I made 40 dollars the next Now I hit the bank and I send out my Auntie a nice little deposit, a check Now I'm hitting it on the road They talking about I'm 'bout to blow I use to get paid to hang up all the Posters but now I am packin' the show Look I ain't did shit to you yet I ain't even shit on you yet You ain't my enemy yet But you ain't a friend to me yet Don't recognize you You ain't a friend to me yet Don't recognize you You ain't a friend to me yet
