When I was 16 and the scene was lil bit brighter
Before the bills and rent set fire
To the time we'd have shared if we had it
If my chest hadn't blackened
And the feeling in the air wasn't sadness
On the same page with this nonsense
I would try to spit a couple bars after that you'd tell me
"Baby you're an artist"
That's how this situation started
Split up regardless no one tried to tell us about the hardships
Go ahead and run to that fool who you claim ain't a tool
That you use just to get a couple grams for the pull
Tellin all your friends that I just couldn't give you what you need
When it's obvious you had all of me
Set fire to my back witcha teeth
While you claimin it was never meant to be
It wasn't hard for you to see my lady
Now you happy you no longer have to be my lady
And your lifestyle shady
Lately I don't really understand where the past went
I mean it may have been a little plastic
Everything is static
Sinkin to the bottom of your past tense
I need a little piece of that action
Never more than a dream in the seams
Let me drown in the stream of our memories
k**ed cause the cream really means what I wrote in that elegy
Gotta get the cashflow steady cause the world need savin
Really wish one more chance you would to me
But the fact that I'm livin this means you wasn't feelin me
Just asking me to help you is a sin to me
But I'll do it cause of everything you meant to me
Now Im after the things that you promised give
I looked up towards the sky in my back was a shiv
Now I ask how you live knowing we should have it all
Not a dime in the bank would you answer if I called
While you drown in the stank of the smoke and the smog
I'll be climbin up the mountain bet you wishin I would fall
Gave my all to this now we sit and we pretend we both over it
We never spoke of it
I know that life is game
And I was never in it for the wealth or the fame
Whose to blame for the pain that we caused in our youth
Sacrifice is the name of this artificial truce
You be happy
I liked it better than the hate when you attack me
Even better than the wall we had crashed in
Living with the dreams we were savin
Right down to the name of our baby
Really wish one more chance you would to me
But the fact that I'm livin this means you wasn't feelin me
Just asking me to help you is a sin to me
But I'll do it cause of everything you meant to me
