Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Aye, where’d you get that thang from? (Thief and beggar)
Get it off me (Leash and chain)
Ooh they did you wrong (Oh yes they did)
Look at your heart broke (What’s in your pocket?)
You don’t need it more than me though (You ain’t payin for those gold chains)
What’s in your pocket? (Profit and wage)
Come off that lil tennis bracelet (Increase the pay)
I’m taking debit cards (Thief and beggar)
Get it off me (Leash and chain)
[Verse 2]
Yes lawd
Someone hit me the other day for a rendezvous
Long time no see was the line she used
Bright eyes like the lights at the carnival
Held convos but never held accountable
‘How’s ya momma Duke? How ya poppa doin’?
Oh me? I been free’er than the sample food
But like a sample loop, around and around I move
Until it’s clear then I’m back to baggin’ bags of loot
Spent years trying to steer both hands on you
Til I finally understood that I was spinning my hoop
Rather spinning my wheels, getting up in my years
But still I feel like a kid when I’m fuckin with you
Young **** gotta live, that’s the motto they use
But all them **** still live in they momma’s back room
So I’m back on my stoop, looking up at the stars
When they reminisce over you, my God
[Verse 3]
That’s when I caught light of myself
Gotta be something more that I can’t tell
Breaking you down to size
There’s gotta be more to life than myself
That’s when I caught light of myself
Gotta be something more that I can’t tell
Breaking you down to size
There’s gotta be more to life than myself
That’s when I caught light of myself
Gotta be something more that I can’t tell
Breaking you down to size
There’s gotta be more to life than myself
That’s when I caught light of myself
Gotta be something more that I can’t tell
Breaking you down to size
There’s gotta be more to life than myself
It won’t fade
Won’t fade, won’t fade
It won’t fade
Won’t fade, won’t fade
[Verse 4]
And if you would’ve showed me more than one time, it wouldn’t have been clear
I woulda just played it off, like “alright, I’ll deal with it”
When it gets here
And I remember when I used to live for more than just the useless fix before the allure of sin
Would cast the black mask over the consequence and I did right by you from within
And all of a sudden, after runnin, it all starts comin’ comin’ back to what love is
And it don’t fade (Don't fade)
And it don’t fade, don’t fade (Don't fade)
And it won’t change (Won’t change)
Kinda like a dream the way it all happened
When all the laws of attraction break all the walls I was trapped in
I can see you coming back to back with me
I wanted to learn more (More)
I want to love more, more (More)
I want to get further (Move further)
It’s not too far from home (Too far from home)
