about

I ripped a page out of the book of my life for this song. This, too, is self-explanatory. If you listen, you'll hear my pain. S/O to Lesley Guillory for turning this into one of my favorite songs.

lyrics

(LESLEY G.) where do we go from there?/ I used to be beat for it/ running all over the hood in the street for it/ like Wendy, bringing the heat for it/ in a 5-star penthouse suite for it/ but then I became blinded/ to the bullshit, absentminded/ for your love I gave up my time/ and for your love I gave up my grinding/ and I started making stupid decisions/ just so my world you would live in/ made a nigga give up pimpin/ all along you were out there trickin/ outta this world youre off my atlas/ and I cant judge like Mathis/ time moves slow like molasses/ except when you swipe my plastic/ cuz thats all im good for/ a couple fucks for a buck for a heart sore/ show a lil ass for a trip off the seashore/ I thought I needed you/ I needed me more/ and its sad when you got nothing to show for/ but barrels of pain for some, you bore it/ a perfect picture stained, now horrid/ serving a dear John letter/ I tore it up/ Ive had enough bleeding for losers/ beautiful liars and blatant losers/ blood sucking leeches and sex abusers/ my concoction, bullshit remover/ If I dont love me Ill live to hate you/ and blame every dude who used to date you to break you/ break through to the core of your lack of self worth/ release the hurt and just breathe/can I come up for air like im amel larrieux/ you send me swinging im in mint condition blind to the snake in you/ I need to know what youre feeling but you dont follow through/ trust me im living proof/ fuck what you heard nigga loves for the birds/ she ran your pockets nigga/ loves for the birds/ he knows thats his baby shawty/ loves for the birds/ I learned my lesson quickly/ loves for the birds nigga word/ when youre way past like/ they be lackin love/ in another club/ on the hunt for the next one/ and you sit lonely, heated and frustrated you could be on to the next one/ like jay-z final letter/ 26 notions and no pleasure/ and you could put that in your black leather/ if I was bad without you I could be better/ we all like the instant thrill/ the gratification the freaky skill/ the wrong intention that leaves you ill/ the failed euphoria from dainty pills/ we all fall victim to sex and pain/ the morning after that leaves you maimed/ catastrophic emotions that find you slain/ another snap shot for a broken frame/ you hide your tears amidst the rain/ head in your hand on your window pane/ waiting for perfection of love to find you/ but what if it never comes I must remind you/ we become so used to the games/ we just accept it for minute gain/ remainders of failed passion enslave you/ you think its normal when one degrades you/ your pockets empty, your soul is gone/ your heart has blackened/ a danger drawn/ and youll do anything for the validation/ resisting your own elation/ pick up your heart and put it back in your chest/ cuz thats where it belongs/ thats where it belongs/ shawty put me in a love song/ (LESLEY G.) now would you absolve me?/ absolve me of love/ how do we climb so high, so high/where do we go from here?/ and just breathe/can I come up for air like im amel larrieux/ you send me swinging im in mint condition blind to the snake in you/ I need to know what youre feeling but you dont follow through/ trust me im living proof/ fuck what you heard nigga loves for the birds/ she ran your pockets nigga/ loves for the birds/ he knows thats his baby shawty/ loves for the birds/ I learned my lesson quickly/ loves for the birds nigga word/ (LESLEY G.) now would you absolve me?/ absolve me of love/ how do we climb so high, so high/where do we go from here?
