about

Sometimes you just need to go.

lyrics

Want my words to resonate
So the world relates It’s the great debate
Seems we appreciate
When its a bit too late
So we cast blame and wait
Shinin’ a flame on fate
(Deep voice - will we make the same mistakes)

Probably not, I know
But does the past look goldn GOLD
We’re veering paths, its cold
Outside - like December BRR
I was at my wits end though I won’t remember

Aren’t we all our worst adversaries?
pin it on each other like we Tom and Jerry Arbitrary now that we’re solitary
Weird how you could have been the one I married.

I keep kidding myself that I’m over all that
But the late night’s got ma thought freights matte black
You once told me you wouldn’t end up a rap
But you end up in my thoughts cuz I think a lot

Fresh snow on the streets and I know
Footprints in the sleet I’m not cold
Streetlights bring me peace so I go
Even though I don’t know where I’m going.

Feeling some sort of waaaay
Feeling some sort of how
Not sure of the way, thought I’d have figured out
I’ll keep riding that wave - until ma light goes out
Know that without a doubt, it’ll always work out

Rocking a crowd, I hope that you’d be proud
Does the quiet comfort or do you miss loud?
See ma depths are profound and when I was around.
You’d get my heads from the clouds I’d get yours off the ground

Icarus died cuz he shot too high
just a reminder not to act to fly
Thoughts of an outsider - when there’s tears to cry
You are the decider when to say bye bye

Love is blind, cause it takes eye for eye
At times it was ugly, but you were always kind
That say love is freedom - but I felt confined
Couldn’t find freedom and was tired of trying

You were tired too. If that’s one thing I knew
Miscommunications blues become blown fuse
People feel used, emotionally bruise
I’d like to be excused. I didn’t mean to hurt you

But see in the process I hurt myself too,
Cuz you break-in’ off a piece of yourself to start new
They’re called break ups - but they lead to breakthroughs
But your substitutes just given’ me deja vu

Sweet pea you called me. Like I was a broom.
We clean up real good, eh? Growing room.
Floating through space, I’m in the flume
Nights they can be manic but I learn from gloom.

When I went, I ignored any reason to stay.
I know I made the right choice, at the time, anyways
Rise and grind, wish you coffee and rays
20,000 mornings left in our days

Fresh snow on the streets and I know
Footprints in the sleet I’m not cold
Streetlights bring me peace so I go
Even though I don’t know where I’m going

Knocked down my wall I permitted it
You were so good at fixing but there’s no tool kit
I could justify it - or admit that I quit
Wasn’t healthy for us to be living like that

Not sure if I just let it channel
I know I’m never given more than I can handle
Feel burnt at both ends and I’m holding the candle
I’m a damsel on a mantle that comes with no manual

Can’t take it back I can’t put you through that
It’s a fact - people aren’t objects on racks
I step back - don’t react - see the progress you’ve stacked
Adolescents learning adult lessons with tact

Besides I’m happy on my own
Satisfied with progress I’ve grown
Passion plays out in ma headphones
I smile thinking bout all the milestones

Thank you for showing me strength within me
I get stubborn, It’s not easy
You went every length to do better by me
You showed me parts of myself I wasn’t ready to see

Old habits die hard, guess that you’re one of those
You’re the ace of the cards eternalize in the prose
At work last week, I saw a couple propose
I lost my composure saw my shadow

Tears of joy - looks off however
If I didn’t take off - could yo u have dealt me better?
Time seems still when you thinking forever
I’d kill it with you, don’t matter the weather

Been running lots. from my problems
If I keep running’ I won’t have to solve em
The days are getting shorter. I switch to the nights.
I remember I told you we’d be alright

Fresh snow on the streets and I know
Footprints in the sleet I’m not cold
Streetlights bring me peace so I go
Even though I don’t know where I’m going

Fresh snow on the streets and I know
Footprints in the sleet I’m not cold
Streetlights bring me peace so I go
Even though I don’t know where I’m going.
