Rep Epic - Instead of Me lyrics

Bill Cosby Sample: "...The same dream. She was running backwards, and I was chasing her" Verse 1: I've been spending time just an*lyzing human behavior Because the bitter taste of heartache ain't exactly my most favorite flavor But I'm stubborn, explains these rug burns. My knees are covered Friction with the fiction of us being lovers But you won't stop me. You love the thought of me You love my heart but just far apart, and that's what's haunting And even though I'm rotting, you'll never toss me in the trash Despite the fact that you won't admit that you need my a** So here I am - Pissing a take Contemplating if I'm capable of making your mind change Or maybe you can just keep the change And walk away with something more than before me ever showing my face But girl please, spare me the slow dance I've got so much more going for me than a few failed romances But you know emotions... You can't get the goddamn things to stop focusing On the bogus that leaves you f**ing broken But it was that choking that helped me embrace breathe As hard as it was to watch her hop on a friend - So easily, despite not wanting an ounce of sympathy You still f**ing tease me, seeing you two gets me cringing But I'm giving you the obligated clearance A grasp on a friendship, ingurgitating this experience I'm digesting the bullsh** and absorbing the nutrients But don't think I'm not new to this [Chorus] ...Ahhhhhh Still Independent, and that's how you ended it Still offended, that you went and chose a friend Instead of me. Instead of me X2 Verse 2: Time was the best healer, but time would never heal it all Especially when they were undressing on the bed wrestling on just the opposite side of the wall But I cozied up in the luxury of rock bottom Compression against the cement, my roots and stems had not a bit of room to blossom So I tossed em, and lost em, so they could be found The perfect way to resurface it, and refertilize the ground And used the clouds the past attracted like magnets I glued back my fragments, that were once pryed apart Just thirsted for some patience And precipitation. And god forbid some music in the makin' In the 10,000 lakes, and Wisconsin for some education But let's avoid the specifics Cause misery's got a weird way of mixin', when you can relate to the b**hin' [Chorus x2] La da da, da da da da, da da da La da da, da da da da, da da da Instead of me, Instead of me (Record Scratches) - Pryed Apart (Bill Cosby Sample) "And created what is called... WOOman Now, why is a "WO" in front of a man to describe this human being, I don't know I thought about it and thought about it, and the closest I could get to it is that God after creating woman, saw her body... and said WOO! MAN!"
