Guard Your Heart (feat. Earlly Mac & Wale)

I'm broken in pieces, down to the soul

I know the whole world can feel it

I know that they can see it (Oh)

Oh, I hate to admit that I need ya

I need you, I need you next to me

You said that you would ride for me

And I hear you, but right now

I need to feel you right next to me

'Cause this is all I got, prove that you got me

(Oh yeah) Oh yeah, yeah (Broken in pieces)

'Cause this is all I got, prove that you got me

Yeah

So if you say, "****", then I'ma say, "Is that a Ritz?" Mmm, ooh

50 **** deep (Deep), 100 **** step

Million Man march (Mmm), cracker don't you start (Yeah)

Hold your head, guard your heart, hold your head (Uh)

****, get your bread, light your spark, strike your mark, life don't stop

So hold your head, guard your heart, hold your head (Yeah)

Conflicted in this free based world of give and take (Take)

'Cause I always rather give than to be the one sayin' thanks (Whoa)

Conflicted like bein' signed to Ye and managed by Jay

Conflicted like bein' cool with Pusha and Drake (Damn)

Conflicted like reppin' a city where I hardly stay (Stay)

Or knowin' that you wrong, but it's too hard to say

Hold your head (Hold your head), guard your heart (Guard your heart)

In my life, those were the hardest parts (Yeah)

So many dark times I wish I caught a spark

Or learned not seein' eye to eye could be fixed with a heart to heart (God)

So many lost, I feel lost, got me feelin' like a real ****, Holocaust

Got me mournin' while its dark (Dark)

Life will eat you alive, we know how to be a meal

Shit, rather than see a mill to make it out you need a skill (Yeah)

Thought I was passed my past, but let's be clear (Clear)

Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear (Swerve)

Regrettin' everything in life is my only fear (My only fear)

And you know what they say about not conquerin' fears (What?)

If you don't then they'll always be near

As that reminder in your ear, shit that I ain't tryna hear (Nah)

Hold your head (Hold your head), guard your heart (Guard your heart)

In my life, those were the hardest parts (Swerve)

Oh, you mistake me for fallin' down for fallin' off (Whoa)

Or mistake me bein' soft for speakin' from the heart

I guess life hasn't taught you as much as you thought

Instead of pickin' up your missin' pieces, you pick me apart

Boy, hold your head, but guard your heart

Got tired of white silence so the riots started

And the robbers robbed, you wylin' 'cause your product gone

We mad that Eric Garner, Breonna, Gianna father gone (Yeah)

A lot of trauma, we tired, exhausted

Ermias the prophet said it'd be a marathon, look

Seen all my dawgs, shown me God was watchin'

Pandemic slowin' 'em down, they fastin', Ramadan

The land of fifty stars on Hollywood marchin'

White friends don't got us, I promise you I block 'em (Straight up)

I'ma count my bread, I defied the odds

And fuck the Saint quarterback, 'cause he ain't Saint Laurent

Boy, from here on out we on Pyer Moss

If we leave Reebok, we still bring 'em pumps and all the broads

I motivate (I motivate), I don't divide (I don't divide)

The 45 a coward for practicin' otherwise

A burnt nation, said it's under God

Not gonna throw the towel in, I'm by my brother's side

Your **** be your **** when you level up

You see that your **** and brothers different when luck is up

So I trust nothin', this industry's somethin'

My biggest rival is my mind protectin' my thoughts as well as my heart

It's 50 **** deep (Deep), 100 **** step

Million Man march (Mmm), cracker, don't you start

Hold your head, guard your heart, hold your head (Uh)

****, get your bread, light your park, strike your mark, life don't stop

So hold your head, guard your heart, hold your head (Yeah)
