On the roadside There's a force stronger than nature, keeps her will alive This is how she's dying, she's dying to survive I don't know what she's made of, I would like to be that brave Don't know what she's made of I would like to be that brave She cries to the Heaven above Yo, it's still us They never showed me love They just showed me why I can't get close or trust And I'm broken, inside my head I'm torn, love or lust And I'm done with all of the gossip, I ain't got time, I just wanna go up Why me? (Tss) A gift and a curse You can't play with fire and not get burnt You can't swim and not get wet I'ma always settle for less, why? 'Cause none of my standards met I just pushed them man to the side, like, let me do what I do best All that shit that you said is stuck in my head I would have worn my heart on my sleeve, but I can't 'cause I'm wearin' a vest I don't forgive and forget I can't, you said you're sorry And I can forgive you, but I remember until I'm dead I'm still indecisive, I ain't got an escape route I can tell you about turnin' points, they can make or break you There ain't a return when you're paid in mind, I beg, don't let that phase you And I've been places no one goes to, only life can take you It's still us They never showed me love They just showed me why I can't get close or trust And I'm broken, inside my head I'm torn, love or lust And I'm done with all of the gossip, I ain't got time, I just wanna go up Why me? (Tss) A gift and a curse You can't play with fire and not get burnt You can't swim and not get wet I'ma always settle for less, why? 'Cause none of my standards met I just pushed them man to the side, like, let me do what I do best All it takes is one good year All it takes is knowin' you're close All it takes is doin' the things that you said that you will when nobody won't So long I've been stuck in this mode So long I've been up in my zone So long that I've been away 'Cause I went hard, never went home Tell me how, tell me why they never fed me, but they fed me lies I got scared when she read my sentence, it come like I'm facin' time Used to be a yes man, I'm my own, man, now I'm makin' them fall in line I'm in sight, but out of reach, you can't text or call my line It's still us They never showed me love They just showed me why I can't get close or trust And I'm broken, inside my head I'm torn, love or lust And I'm done with all of the gossip, I ain't got time, I just wanna go up Why me? (Tss) A gift and a curse You can't play with fire and not get burnt You can't swim and not get wet I'ma always settle for less, why? 'Cause none of my standards met I just pushed them man to the side, like, let me do what I do best (Prodigy)
