Eli Arbor - 5 Lines lyrics
[Act I] What's his name? Please, why won't you say it I know he thinks this a game Well I ain't gon let him play it I'm just-- I'm just tryna help I'm tryna do this for you, no this ain't just for myself I'm tryna teach him a lesson like why you blaming yourself Your health he violated so now his life's on the shelf Black hoodies, Black Timbs, Black ski mask I'mma catch him in the dark Run up as unseen as the shadow of d**h I bet that he'll be catching his breath And if he try to scream that's gon be his last one left So please, tell me who he is and where he stay at I'mma catch that b**h n***a where he lay at Right where he say his prayers at I'mma catch him in the dark Scaring him where he safe at I promise ill make it right Stop following, please hang back I'm ski masked up I know that he's ga**ed up Bet he's bragging to his friends bout how he had that a** up I don't give a f** what they said, he can't do this I'mma prove it No please, I gotta do it Cause I won't let him escape his transgressions I gotta send a message I gotta go teach him a lesson Your body is a temple he entered without your blessing Divine retribution with what's holy he's messing Just let me go Stay here, just let her come and sit with you Promise I'll be back, but right now I got some sh** to do I can deal with him, I promise I'll be ok Try to break for the door, but she won't let me get away I can deal with him, I promise ill be ok Try to break for the door, but she begging me please stay [Hook] Cause I'm crying I'm scared and I don't know what to do I'm crying I'm scared and I don't know what to do I'm crying I'm scared and I don't know what to do If I can't handle him, how can I take care of you Cause you're crying, you're scared and you're holding on tight You're crying, you're scared and you're holding on tight You're crying, you're scared and you're holding on tight But you gotta let me go cause I gotta make this right [Act II] Sorry I got mad, this ain't about me Can you tell me what you're really feeling? Just tell me what you really need Can I get you some water, can I get you some tea? I don't know what to do to overcome this uncertainty Should I give you some space, just tell me where should I be Would you rather talk to a woman about it instead of me? Talk to me baby, please dry your eyes Or maybe cry a river if the waters will keep you alive I know you feels like you feel like you died inside just a little bit And it's gonna take a lot of time to try to heal from it Oh, you can't sleep? Then let me sit awake with you No, please: just stay where you are, I'll find you another tissue Don't have to say your issue, just know I'm here if you need me You're a book but now you're closed to the reading No James Brown and I don't know your feelings You don't have to be ok now, that's the beauty and the curse about healing It can only happen when we've been broken It shouldn't have happened to you But now you feel like your power is stolen You're not alone [Outro]
