My Love

(albüm: The De2our - 2020)

They wanna take my love
They wanna break my love
They trying to hate my love
So I just fake my love
They wanna take my love
My team, my hopes, my goals
My dreams, my songs, my life
I fold but don't give up
I won't ever let go

Yeah, I'm riding solo in the whip
You roll too deep, you'll drown in that shit
And I don't trust anyone and you ain't any different
And I don't really know the type of me that you been picturing
The vision, I killed the ego and make the decision
Living with these issues in my head will kill the intuition
A human condition with an alien frame, I'm a Martian
I keep my heart up on my sleeve but it's more like a target
I've fallen victim to a scene that let me stay to harvest
But I didn't know that they had hidden poison in the garden
I'm just an artist with my view of this world and it's Hell
I stand above the crowd and hope that they don't see the stilts
I'm only fake 'cause they don't pay attention to the real
It's only what you show on Instagram or what they think you feel
Built the image for the glory and the fame
I just wish the picture told the real story, like Dorian Gray
Yeah, I been waiting to evacuate
Ten thousand hours, like, yeah, wasn't worth the wait
Hey, it's only cheesier than showing love
That's why we talk shit sober and only feel on drugs
I catch your buzz and I'll be gone 'til 2021
A master of the craft, an escape artist, magician's son
Yeah, I give 'em sweat and the blood
But that still ain't enough?

They wanna take my love
They wanna break my love
They trying to hate my love
So I just fake my love
They wanna take my love
My team, my hopes, my goals
My dreams, my songs, my life
I fold but don't give up
I won't ever let go

I put it on the line back in '07
Yeah, you don't know the half, not a damn section
I shoveled through the shit and the snow
And the cold, and the little bullet holes filled with abjection
I came up with a code and a gift
The flow added a couple 0's to the drip, then it set off
Vermin tried to gnaw a little bread off
Dealt with both sides of the snake and cut the head off
Yeah, they talk like they did it
They talk like they walked in my shoes and they fit 'em
They logged in and blogged on the flaws of my rhythm
And act as if they could've done better but they didn't
I told my truth, I still got the blood on my boots
And something that I'm falling in love with, abuse
Some just wanna see me succumb to the boos
And the pills, and tell me they always knew
But that's not love, nah
That's the flash and the flood
The cause and effect from the downs and the ups
The man in the middle with his hands in the mud
And it's still not enough?

They wanna take my love
They wanna break my love
They trying to hate my love
So I just fake my love
They wanna take my love
My team, my hopes, my goals
My dreams, my songs, my life
I fold but don't give up
I won't ever let go
