Oh, where'd you get the thing from? (Thief and beggar) Uh, get it off me (Leash and chain) Ooh, they did you wrong (Oh, yes they did) Look at your heart broke (What's in your pocket?) You don't need it more than me, though (You a king, though) Come off your gold chain What's in your pocket? (Profit and wage) Come off that lil' tennis bracelet (Increase the pay) I'm takin' debit cards (Thief and beggar) Yeah, get it off me (Leash and chain)
Yes, lawd Someone hit me the other day for a rendezvous Long time no see was the line she used Bright eyes like the lights at the carnival Held convos, but never held accountable How's your Mama Duke? How ya papa doin'? Oh, me? I been freer than the sample food But like a sample loop, around and around I move Until it's clear, then I'm back to baggin' bags of loot Spent years tryna steer both hands on you 'Til I finally understood that I was spinnin' my hoop Rather spinnin' my wheels, gettin' up in my years But still I feel like a kid when I'm fuckin' with you Young nigga gotta live, that's the motto they use But all them niggas still live in they mama's backroom So I'm back in my stu', lookin' up at the stars When they reminisce over you, my God
That's when I caught light of myself (My God) Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself That's when I caught light of myself Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself That's when I caught light of myself Gotta be something more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself That's when I caught light of myself Gotta be somethin' more that I can't tell Breakin' you down to size There's gotta be more to life than myself
It won't fade Won't fade, won't fade It won't fade Won't fade, won't fade Yeah, yeah, huh
And if you would've showed me more than one time It wouldn't have been clear I would've just played it off like Alright, I'll deal with it when it gets here And I remember when I used to live for more Than just the useless fix, before the allure of sin Would cast the black mask over the consequence I did right by you from within, and all of a sudden After I run in, it all starts comin', comin' back To what love is And it don't fade (Don't fade) It don't fade (Don't fade) And it don't fade, don't fade (Don't fade) And it won't change (Won't change) Kinda like a dream away the way it all happened When all the laws of attraction Break all the walls I was trapped in I can see you comin' back to back with me I wanted to learn more (More) I wanna love more, more (More) I wanna get further (Move further) It's not too far from home (Too far from home)
