Suddenly I feel like I've been missing out It's hard to understand it but you're different now Why'd you have to change when you left me My heart has been heavy I ain't feeling steady I've been trying to move on but maybe I ain't ready Maybe I'm just fucked up, my love running empty But still I give, give, give to you I give, yea yea, I give But still I give, give, give to you I give, yea yea, I give I gave you all of my time You only wanted me less Couldn't get you off of my mind My friends and family knew best But I never learned to reason Never got it through to my head The same one bleeding me was the same one in my bed And I see you making changes But you wouldn't do it for us And we could've been amazing But you wouldn't show me no love You're making it look painless And I really ain't in no rush But I wish that I could hate everything about you I'm having no luck Can't have my way like that Can't catch a fade like that Can't change the way we act Can't catch a break like that But I wear my heart on my arm because they like that Been in the dark for too long, bring that daylight back In and out this fable Loving you was fatal In the end you gave up I don't think I'm stable And I feel so woozy Every night I lose sleep Hoping I don't lose me Look at how you do me Why'd you have to change when you left me My heart has been heavy I ain't feeling steady I've been trying to move on but maybe I ain't ready Maybe I'm just fucked up, my love running empty But still I give, give, give to you I give, yea yea, I give But still I give, give, give to you I give, yea yea, I give Why you gotta be like this? You don't ever read my lips Cut my wrists, you don't wanna be my friend You don't wanna be my bitch You don't wanna see me leave Leave me be You don't wanna see me live Want me stiff You don't wanna feel my pain You don't wanna need my bliss But, I gave that to you An' that attitude I got back from you was too cold Every day I had to brave it at a faster pace and I would acclimate to new lows Wanna act brand new, that's fine Doing what I did for you for another guy I ain't gonna lie, cuz it hurts every time that I see you doing right by another man's side Can't have my way like that Can't catch a fade like that Can't change the way we act Can't catch a break like that But I wear my heart on my arm because they like that Been in the dark for too long, bring that daylight back In and out this fable Loving you was fatal In the end you gave up I don't think I'm stable And I feel so woozy Every night I lose sleep Hoping I don't lose me Look at how you do me Why'd you have to change when you left me My heart has been heavy, I ain't feeling steady I've been trying to move on but maybe I ain't ready Maybe I'm just fucked up, my love running empty But still I give, give, give to you I give, yea yea, I give But still I give, give, give to you I give, yea yea, I give Suddenly I feel like I've been missing out It's hard to understand it but you're different now

Once I was seven years old My father told me, I'll never leave again You won't be lonely Once I was seven years old I was a kid, I was seven Never knew you or knew where you would be What was the pen, too innocent? Nothing you said was making any sense I was like damn, who is this man? Standing before me saying take a chance Suddenly everything I thought I knew about the world Was taken when I shis hand I was so mad, didn't know why Why was my name all tatted on your side? Why did you mess with the bliss over me and my sister We're cool without you, doin' fine We came around, you came around Told us you would never ever leave Heart on my sleeve, letting it bleed Waiting for you again, cause I believe Once I was eleven years old My momma told me, I won't do this again Need you to go please Once I was eleven years old I wasn't there, I didn't care Moving around a lot and couldn't bare Everyone wanted to fix it and took me away From my sister to live on a prayer Breaking the law, getting expelled Didn't believe in nothing, you could tell Wanted to fail, gunnin' for jail Wanted to kill my father in a cell I was a mess, that I confess Too young to bottle this up in my chest Too young to do what I was doing Who knew that I would've been a little bit depressed Got into blow, got into dope Made an investment with nothing to show It was the only thing I had control over And it was all over whenever it go Once I was twenty years old My father wrote me Son, I'm sorry that you never got to know me Once I was twenty years old I didn't know then, and I don't know know Why it was hard for me to write it down Why it was easier to say out loud And whenever I try to write I feel a cloud Sooner or later I gave it up One way or another, can't say enough When I met my brother and told him I wanted to hear from you, that was a major bluff I was right in the middle of using, abusing and losing myself I knew not of sobriety I wasn't ready to meet him I didn't feel like I could be a role model entirely But inside of me I was like, damn I relate And I thought I could be of some help And it didn't dawn on me I couldn't be somebody's light if I don't love myself But soon I'll be sixty years old And will I still hold on To everything that happened and be so cold? Soon I'll be sixty years old Soon I'll be sixty years old

Yo, I ain't superstitious but these niggaz is nice A lot of cats pop shit, I pop apocalypse Toppin' propaganda force fed to the populace My thoughts run the gamut from outstandin' to preposterous On top of this I move posteriors brother impoverished the 'Pac shuries' My process, accomplish through percevierence Every man's not my brother regardless of appearance Apprehension clouds the spirit tension prepares us for ascension And at his best is when he breaks conventions A convenient covenant coveted for conception We're all from the same mold, spores and bacteria Those woulda fear me others would thaw hysteria A claustrophobic neurosis in this masquerade ball Of fake glasses and big noses Molasses splashes explosive flows two exposed Pinnocheos growin' nose composed of compost compositions Clothes are gettin' a little close fittin', I stop this shit and I'm over-confident The script's compliments of my frozen mic dominance A passively aggressive testament is how I'm reppin' shit Watch Vast murder the track effortless Like God's on my side and He answered my Christmas list After the first couple of bars I start to smell fear That's when I take them there so they can breathe Aire What you're so secure with your insecurity Perfect world of piety I swat flies when they bother me Some say I touch hearts like Kano Now every time you see a mic you just say no Some write with words, I write with matters As my soul is brushed free Vast Aire dusty In the coldest winters we thought husky They be like, "I don't know his name but he aim like Wayne Gretzky" That's funny, 'cause I don't play hockey I play horse on the mic and watch 'em all copy Left hooks left from shookin' etch-a-sketching Give me an entry line I'll take a mile if you let me I'm not a bum, I'm a nomad, off dome Thoughts have no home, the page is ours to roam Cats be on some fantasy shit like Cinderella Well we'll see if the shoe fits after the accapella And the nascent's claimin' sonnin' What's the penalty for that? He might never come back And the atomic pressure won't lessin' After you've learned your lesson Mister sits in a track? Yeah that's a bucket I see Like a farmhand cuttin' a little piggy From the author I'm also the farmer stupid I shoot a arrow at you and my name ain't Cupid Yo I'm mindless with this art but the way you while this heart gets brave And a blade that's well polished and sharp Intending to reinvent two spinning wheels in line Just to enjoy the bumpy lives and improve upon its design I take time, every plate circle's complete, love it I've learned even tardy birds come to eat from it Early bird gets the worm but that early worm finds a spot In the early bird's stomach and can't escape from it Pity the odd jocks of live stock graze amongst our mind crop Beast of burden murdered their minds one Climbin' nations leave these regions unexplored Liberty torch the truth with sandy floors on beach shores Destroy atomic Grace lands def definitine situations a complex edifice Mother nature broken fucked by offspring's wreck less neglegance Disruptive corruptive residence of birthin' now pessimists Found willingly bound in the back of yellow cab Clearly, pity anti mobius strip theories Dennis Leary, Miller, and menacing cynicism visions Would an oppressed bet givin his position on life's mission Now listen how sick is these niggaz? Atoms to illest, cat pillars, and don't choke guns Smoke onions crying with no funds, no fun trying To get by still Vordul do it and rap music Tell death do us wet your noodle With raps in the pot hard boil the rap gargoyles Stoned at night on top of buildings Gothic Like Bruce in the blue suit let's get it poppin' Watch it drop outa the sky in the ridin' Hampton where some get tackled Hooks that grapple right on your Adam Got you chokin' off the rhyme potents Stay focused while you villains stay jokin' Serious on the mic get ignorant Delivering the rap vocals for the new millennium We're from ileum marchin' in atomic garments Bombin' all the nonsense Yo, you cats ain't ready for this, heavy abyss Thoughts that travel through the tunnels of scripts My mic holds one in the clip and fo's packed under the dic Spit rhino acapells gunnin' your shit Your rap plug's stuck in your whips fuckin' with this Over these el-pro percussion hits we love to rip Love to sip, love to rep Jux to Def, yeah, Atoms

Hiding here in camouflage When they said that they want me You love me, you need me Call it casual sabotage You think that it's easy I'm tryna get to sleep with the lights on 'Cause I am confused and I'm frightened I'm tryna get to sleep with the lights on I don't understand this on my own I'm just a messed up kid With sewn up lips I can't take this shit I need to exist Sittin', staring at my watch I can't tell if it's morning or midday or evening The pressure got my head in knots I don't know who's deceivin' I'm tryna get to sleep with the lights on 'Cause I am confused and frightened I'm tryna get to sleep with the lights on I don't understand this on my own I'm just a messed up kid With sewn up lips I can't take this shit I need to exist Burn me down till we're nothin' but enemies And shut me out till we're nothin' but friends Burn me out till we're nothin' but enemies And shut me out till we're nothing but friends I'm just a messed up kid (I won't ever hide alone) With sewn up lips (she'd take my heart and hole it up) I can't take this shit (breakin' for the two of us) I need to exist (broken till there's only dust)
