Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama told me you were getting sicker
Daily she'd call me, say it's my name you were calling
I mean, I was your favorite, I was named after your father
You were the sweetest aunt, never had kids of your own
But you made me your own
Busy on the road, I couldn't make it back home
You couldn't make it that long
I'll never forgive myself
I think I love just the hurting fact
I think I love when you hurt me back
Till we under the dirt, I keep you close, yeah
Under my shirt, under my shirt
I keep you tucked to the side, I'm Mr. Jekyll, I got something to hide
I fancy love, but I get stuck off of pride
I hope you understand
[Verse 2]
I got a list of daily lovers, succumb to the beast or become it
Live from the belly of it
Just tryna survive, I'm searching for any others
Let's get together, make the whole world believe us
New world allegiance, fiends living our dreams out, **** believe it
Seen the world three times, **** believe it
They out here selling you peace signs, **** believed it
I don't
[Verse 3]
My behavior's unbecoming, my neighbors look at me funny
Like I should move out, ****, you get a new house
This shit ain't easy
Multiple choices I had, turned into voices I have
Nowhere to run, I'm moving forward and forging a path
Feeling alone in this path
****, this shit ain't easy
So spare me the front and the fake
You ain't put shit in the pot, fuck is you touching the plate?
