Lyrics

I need to tell you something
There's no easy way to say this
But love is rarely worth the effort if it's painless, so here it is
I've been goin' through some changes
You said you'd take my name when I was nameless
Well, I'm no longer nameless
And I ain't on no A-list
But now that it's in sight, that's where my aim is
We met when I was aimless
Then I promised I would save us
So we started scrapin' quarters off the pavement
Now that's where my name is
I was gettin' tired of turnin' pages
Next chapter's in stone, I gotta go through the paces
First steps, family floorboards with stages
Feel like I've been doin' this for ages
Don't go, gimme your hand, let me hold hope
Would you walk alongside me?
If I was a stranger, let's face it
You'd leave me wanderin' like I'm lost at sea
Don't let me leave, um, baby
There's no easy way to say this
By the time we meet again, we might be strangers
So there it is, I don't know if I could face it
I'm haunted by our final conversations and all the time we wasted
I spent so many hours on these flights, they're like a day shift
Our work is night and day shift 'til I'm close enough to taste it
You said you want a life without complacence
But you don't want the man who's tryna chase it
I ain't changin' my pitch, now it's too late to forget
Starin' my vanity down, like, "What would you pay to be rich?"
I said, "I'll never see change," he said, "You'll never see change"
That's when my energy changed, causin' a paradigm shift
Watch as a pair of dimes flip doubles the chances I get
They'll say he's takin' what's mine, I'll say, "I'm takin' the fifth" (Uh-uh, ah)
Industry name's on the line, bank on me chasin' their debt
You want my name on the line? Why can't you name a percent?
Why would I pay for your sins? You couldn't pay me respect
I don't need anyone's help, I could build all this again (Yeah-eah-eah)
Ego's your capital vice, I pen a capital M
Y'all here to capitalize, so I put a cap on the pen (Eh, ah)
What's your capital get?
If I need it, I'll pay in sweat
The only thing out of reach is the part of me I just left (Don't go)
On my way to the settin' sun
Don't try and find me again, I'm a stranger to everyone
Uh, I'm a stranger to everyone
