I tried the very best I could
But that took me away from you
I didn’t want to go

This time I may be wrecked for good
That takes me away from you
My love, it hurts my soul
My love, it hurts my soul

All those nights
Huddled up together when we swore we’d fight
To leave this world better than the wars and plights
That our elders left for us
Left for us

All our lives
I know you remember how our bond’s been tight
Every storm we weathered helped our hearts take flight
Not a soul could sever us
Sever us

Held each other down even when fighting for survival
Yeah I know they’ve got me but what we’ve got’s ride or die, though
I’m just focused, used to think the people’s goals were my goals
Hate how deep this got, the only option’s shaking my soul

This is unprecedented
Just the cost of the choice made to go and get it
Later when they’re saying “yes, he did it”
Hope you speak of the toll of this whole decision

I still believe that you know my heart
Thanks for how hard you tried to protect what’s in it
Every move you make is a work of art
While you know that I’ve always been reckless with it
This is heavy, listen

I tried the very best I could
But that took me away from you
I didn’t want to go

This time I may be wrecked for good
That takes me away from you
My love, it hurts my soul
My love, it hurts my soul

It was never hidden
Not my true intentions
My initial vision
Kept up my resolve

The path to hit it’s
Just a bit different
Than what we predicted
When they breached the walls

I weighed the options
And I tried to listen
To the people saying this was not the call

But this is why I had to get involved
Just hate I didn’t say goodbye at all



This takes me away from you

It’s crazy
I hate this
I prayed I could
Stay with you

I’ve made it
But baby
That takes me
Away from you

It’s crazy
I hate this
I prayed I could
Stay with you

I’ve made it
But baby
That takes me
Away

Yeah
How're they hating when we didn't choose
To be born into systems that abuse
People who they raise to obey the rules
Let us perish so they can protect a ruse

World stacked against us
Kids indoctrinated to attack and kill us
Guess they fear replacement
Now they're acting senseless
But if I respond in kind it's bad intentions?
Least I have some kindred

Spirits down to ride the wave
They go hard for what I say
Even if they find their graves
Feds posture, they could save
Now the plan's annihilate
In their eyes the vibe is hate
They refuse to find their way
They feel fine if they get paid
Wish this paradigm's erased
So set my mind ablaze

It all has to change now
That's why I had to stake out
They stepped on us trying to gain clout
But they gon' see me on the way down

Thought we were close
To finding solutions
That let us live fulfilment
And that end the killing
We wanted both
Thought humanity
Could just supersede
Division they need
To keep us enclosed
But all of my hope
They blew it, it went up in smoke
I'll handle that the only way I know
But what hurts the most
Is

This takes me away from you

It’s crazy
I hate this
I prayed I could
Stay with you

I’ve made it
But baby
That takes me
Away from you

It’s crazy
I hate this
I prayed I could
Stay with you

I’ve made it
But baby
That takes me
Away
