Love For You (feat. Emanny)

Just gotta get these thoughts off real quick

See I'm a thinker, it's like thinking shit

It's when you got

You sittin' there reflecting shit

I peep it though

Look, you liked me better before you knew my history

Before you knew who I was

That's when reaching our potential felt likely

Nobody like me

Besides see if I stop bein' who I am

I'm straight to it, who I might be

But you gotta look inside each song

That's where I proved it was really inside all along

Bear it all so the privacy gone

Grab the pen, sit down and right these wrongs

Just how i write these wrongs but look

You liked me better when i spoke using censorship

Before you knew I was really insensitive

That was back when it was you and me

Then curiosity had you killed, you had to Google me

Now I won't call the headlines a liar

Some are true and some are false, that's for y'all to decipher

But look, on rare occasions some of what they say'll bother me

I liked it better when the 'net was still a novelty

'Cause now people who ain't found themselves

Get an outlet, yet don't know how they sound themselves

They like me better when I'm silent and don't have an opinion

Pretendin' to blend in like I'm a minion

Say if Joe keep talking that shit, he'll get him shot

But if rappers can't tie my shoes, how can I not (shit)

Thought I had my city's support

I couldn't believe, Jersey City like me better when I couldn't leave

I take it back, that ain't set in stone

They moreso had weapons drawn 'cause I left alone

I liked it better when I had nothing to loose

The days that I felt I had something to prove

Shit, even for me that's unusal

If you don't give a fuck then who you got to prove it to?

Just the world that I was born in

You gotta learn to form wins against the storm wind

They like me better when I fuckin' never call again

Without it, they don't know what kind of box I belong up in

They like me better without reality television

Guess they didn't need to witness the hell I was livin'

In my shoes, you too, will steal a fate

Poppin' 20 pills a day, somebody gon' feel a way, look

And so these hoes just to pass time

After the past time, they don't even pass my mind

You like me better before you got lied to

But that don't really matter when you want me inside you

Your friends sayin' leave, they don't know that you tried to

You can't speak to them, I'm the **** you cry to

I liked it better when nobody ever heard of me

'Fore pop had to get that knee surgery

Guess that effected his bladder

So when Jackie called me nothin' else really mattered

Was scared, sounded frantic, I ain't want no parts of that

Said the ambulance came, might be a heart attack

Was leaving work, nearly crying on the phone

I'm in rush hour traffic, just seeing you die alone, look

I just pictured all the places that we never went

All the texts that were never sent

All the words we never spoke

Time we never shared, rewind so we can repair

Such an inspiration, all the holes that you dug through

Then you got released, god was watching above you

I'm thinking you healing, I don't wanna disrupt you

So i'm right back to never tellin' you that I love you

And I don't want to act that way

If I take something for granted, I don't want to give it back that way

For real, that's how shit get lost, let me chill

I like it better when I'm not talking over my thoughts, now listen

I done been down, been down, it's all for you

Said it's all for you

And I don't wanna get in your way

And I don't wanna get in your way

Said this love is all for you

Said, this love is all for you

Look, now the singers wanna rap, the rappers wanna sing

Personally I liked it better back when rapping was a thing

'Cause now if you wanna get the high notes

When the hook comes, you gotta hit the high notes

The label wanna sell singles

I'm selling a story and that'll just taint the message

Bad marriage, we don't got the same objective

Still I'm here cause real **** in the game respect it, look

They like me better when I let them live rent free

I never knew that once it stopped we be enemies

And though I come off as heartless ****

In spite of yourself, I got love for you regardless ****

Now listen, I liked you better when you wasn't in the spotlight

Was too addicted to it, said some shit was not right

So when you work so much I couldn't complain

'Til I learnt she was gateway escapin' from the pain

The strippers talk to me like I'm their therapist

That scares the good girls away, don't know the hell I get

Whatever thoughts you contrive, I can't help you with

But you've been tossin' it for a year and I derail the shit

I'm self-made, I don't do what I'm told

The type that needs free range to be outta control, for real

'Cause when that's gone, I'm lost, let me chill

I like it better when I'm not talking over my thoughts, word

I've done been down, been down, it's all for you

Said it's all for you

And I dont want to get in your way

I don't want to get in your way

This love is all for you

This love is all for you ooooh

Said this love is all for you
