Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Decisions, decisions put me in a bad place
I was caught up in getting into this rat race
I was so determined not to be in last place
Lost control of my soul, goals misplaced
Slave to the big face, I thought it'd never happen
Especially when I came to free my people when I started rapping
My own contradiction to the mission
The label held me to submission, had to tap out
I seen the light and walked towards it 'fore a **** blacked out
Lost black child with clipped wings, bet they flap now
Free as a bird, got not straps now
Anybody try and stop they might take off then they straps out
There's freedom in the choices made, I put it in these raps now
My independence day set fire to the page
I'm bored, I'll build a cage
Get your board and catch the wave, there's no more L's to take
Run and tell them that the champion on his way
[Verse 2]
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
[Verse 3]
I played it back to some lesser men
Put my pride to the side and tried to settle in
In this situation I wasn't set up to win
**** pretend to be a comrade
It's all a team sport until it's contact
It's all love and war until it's combat
I guess friendship comes with a contract
I'll take that L but they're lying and deceiving now
Take it well
I'm back on track, though
After slight the real
It's not about how you get up or how you fell
**** counting me out, they doubted me, now how you feel?
I'm back riding, I'm back frying this Stalley mill
To put it in your face to the ones that's trill
**** talk about real, like it's something real
Well, I've yet to grab ahold of it and me, I'm the only one
Close to it
[Verse 4]
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
[Verse 5]
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
I just want to love you
Make you feel like there's no one above you
[Verse 6]
I just want to love you
Love is just the reason I still love you
I just want to love you
Love you, don't you feel it, that you love me?
I just want to love you, girl
Cherish all the time
I just want to love you, girl
