[Pre-Chorus]
I'm a magnet for hella bad energies
Got a tendency to make a lot of enemies
I’m an a**hole when I get off the Hennessy
Prolly only do it 'cause somebody did that sh** to me
[Chorus]
Empathy, empathy, yuh
Empathy, empathy
Working on my
Everything, everything, yuh
I promise
[Verse]
They say you shouldn't cast stones from a gla** home
The whole world wanna see me fall, but I stand strong
I say what’s right, but they don't hear me 'cause my past wrongs
I got so down on my luck, I made it a dance song
Reflected that on the women I've loved and left, got a call from my ex
She forgive, but she can't forget, sometimes I disrespect
I was just keeping it a stack but all of my good intentions turn into bad press
And I confess if I sit and reflect on sh** I regret, I did this and I did that
I was bogus, I was wack, I was supposed to call you back
But I was trying to get some neck, fighting my urges
Strip club splurges and buying you purses
'Cause I know I'm doing wrong, rolling like a stone
Got wifey back at home, but I don't like to answer phones
And as a man, we don’t understand the damages we’ve sown
Just by stringing her along, and everybody heard the song
I f**ed up, admit that I f**ed up
But I ain't do that tho, so I wanna judge, but
I sound like an a**hole, holding my nuts up
We love to point the finger at everybody but us
Trust is fragile just like gla** broke
Put it back together but it ain’t gon' last tho
It's a vicious cycle, it's a Lupe Fiasco
She wanna hear the truth, but you ain’t true to your damn self
I know we need empathy
[Chorus]
Working on my
Empathy, empathy, yuh
Empathy, empathy
Working on my
Everything, everything, yuh
Empathy, empathy
Empathy, empathy
Empathy, empathy
Working on my
Everything, everything
Empathy, empathy
