Echoes in the Concrete

เนื้อเพลง

[Intro / Verse 1 — melodic, steady pace] They say love isn’t just expression of words And everybody say with time it heals But I really feel like it only gets worse I Can’t believe this is real And no I can’t get better no Momma say I be better off But I still got all this pain in my body Still unresolved Taking prescription medication Tryna ease my withdrawal All of my life not knowing who I wanna be Then look up times just gone [SLOW DOWN — beat opens up / vocals stretched] I’m just me I’m just me [Hold the slower pocket] Honestly, I mean honestly How much more damage Can a nigga receive My own heart grabbed its cap And abandoned me In due time we will see [Verse 2 — rhythm starts building again] How can I give ya my all If there’s no love left to give “ it’s time to grow up” “Man I’m sick of this shit” Man fuck you bitch Yea fuck you bitch Already know you was gonna switch n fold Never knew life could have you feeling so low, could have you feeling so alone [DROP BACK DOWN — long notes / emotional delivery] So ima go out the way I came in Ima go out the way I came in Alone [Verse 3 — beat returns / flowing delivery] Go walk and try to keep my life steady I’m done walking on a tight rope Because when my mind gets to roaming My thoughts start circling me Circling me yea [Melody stretches again] Inside not receiving your love was hurting me hurting me Begging inside pleading n crying cause I’m emotionally tired, fuck dat Emotionally gone [PAUSE / stripped-back transition] Look me in the eyes Bitch look a nigga in his eyes Tell me what you see What do you see [Verse 4 — tighter rhythm / courtroom run] You the judge and I’m the convict Tried to give you my love and you don’t want it You gave me a hearin but you ain’t hearing me and sentence you giving me Is telling me all that you did not receive And I can’t see how you could look at me as an ATM, so loveless cause at the moment I’m already knowin tryna love you is hopeless [SLOW DOWN — melodic refrain] Tryna love you is hopeless I just didn’t know it, yea I just didn’t know it You had to show me [OUTRO — instruments fade / almost spoken] They say just follow your heart Okay what piece do I follow when it’s in a million
