about

Very intense song. I remember EQ making the beat for a beat battle and me being there to vent over a strained working relationship (those who work in music know that this happens sometimes). The beat fueled the song cause all I could think of was the hook (which I will admit was slightly inspired from Lauryn Hill's Ex-Factor) the rest really wrote itself. I felt that this was my most clever and deceptive bits for writing. Such anger...

lyrics

oh its like that?

yea I fucked around but didn't you expect it?
the pain on my face I wear it like a necklace!
what has it been months since you and I connected?!?!
I look in the mirror and I feel disrespected
bailed on me one night and left me high and dry
she had the same problem with a dude and sympathized
loved the way I rocked the mic with passion in my eyes
she says "come over have a drink and we could improvise"
of fine we did it all night
that rhythm felt good and that pocket felt tight
"with me in your life you'll never loose a fight"
"just come over here silly boy hit the lights and let me bless the mic"
yea I found a hottie with a real nice body
a beautiful face and an ass that made me feel godly shit
when I was doing my thing
who would've thought she would've brought shit that you couldn't bring
who would've thought she would've coped shit that you couldn't sling
who would've thought she would've thought shit that you wouldn't think
hold on before you judge my song
you know the truth mother fucker you should sing along!

Cause you lied to me lied to me
told me you would ride with me
lied to me lied to me
put that on your life for me
so I'mma lie to you
but trust me I can while still telling the truth
Cause you lied to me lied to me
told me you would ride with me
lied to me lied to me
took the best side of me
so I'mma lie to you
but trust me I can while still telling the truth

Hitting the floor loving it more
rugged and raw
dropping the jaw when I pour passion
I remember being at your front door asking
"we started out so hot tell me what happend?!?"
tell me what you want
won't you tell me what you need
won't you tell me what I gotta do for you to want me
god dammit here we are fucking it up
gave you my word and my trust wasn't that shit enough
but nah you said you loved me
that was under your breathe
I gave you the best part of me there ain't none of it left
and I promised you I'd follow you until those last steps
but we detoured that road and we ain't make it there yet
oh fine
I understand some shits a safe bet
I'mma take mine
matter fact I'm gonna jet
oh shit
I was a waste of time?
well fine bitch after this I won't waste my breath

Cause you lied to me lied to me
told me you would ride with me
lied to me lied to me
put that on your life for me
so I'mma lie to you
but trust me I can while still telling the truth
Cause you lied to me lied to me
told me you would ride with me
lied to me lied to me
took the best side of me
so I'mma lie to you
but trust me I can while still telling the truth
