Straightface Forever - Sixteen lyrics

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
