Lyrics

I turned rams into bricks and mortar
Led a couple of lambs to the slaughter
Knocked on wood till it turned to sawdust
I pimped, I’ve been pimped

From the rubble, I built a castle too tall for y’all to scale
Isolated and hated, I had to burn it down to rebuild it, baby
They say looking on the bright side will leave a man blind
Reopen the wounds just to feel the connection

Wide awake, I feel the earthquake
Tracked but I ain’t broken
Hoping I got the tank to keep going
Digging deep into my reserve well of perseverance
They offer assistance but I’m stubborn
I’d rather do it on my own than say fucking

Bullies pride, lone ranger
The sign says danger, I’m going in blazing
I know no other way
put the weight on my shoulders cause I’m strong enough to hold it

I got the heart of a warrior
Baby, you’re such a warrior
You don’t gotta worry about me
I’m just trying to get by
You know that I’m fly
Coming back better, you’re gonna miss me
You’re gonna throw me for a little
But you do you
Get up in a little while and see what’s up
I’m here for you if you need me
Just like you’re there for me
Let’s respect the distance and not make any decisions
So much emotion flying around
Remember the good times, they were a lot of fun
In a little while it’ll all make more sense

When shit gets rocky, play the theme to Rocky
Standing at the crossroads with a crossbow
Pack ready to unload, reload and go again

I built different so that pop tart standing next to you poisoning your mind
couldn’t fuck with one grain on my grind
The time it takes you to figure it out
is the same time I’ll take to be ready
Let the confusion settle
Wipe away those tears, babe
I got you through this phase

Cupid shot me from point blank range
You’re my angel
I love you so I let you go
We’re my lowest ebb
We were in sync till we overstepped
Their perception of us was so wrong
We danced to our song
Only you and I know it was all a meme
And you’re the only one that’s gonna get that punchline
Remember?

Valentine’s and Joe’s
A dozen roses to curl your toes up
Smile all summer, then I’ll hold you all winter
I’m just dreaming, but it’s beautiful

I got the heart of a warrior
Baby, you’re such a warrior
You don’t gotta worry about me
I’m just trying to get by
You know that I’m fly
Coming back better, you’re gonna miss me
You’re gonna blow me for a little
But you do you
Get up in a little while and see what’s up
I’m here for you if you need me
Just like you’re there for me
Let’s respect the difference and not make any decisions
So much emotion flying around
Remember the good times, they were a lot of fun
In a little while, it’ll all make more sense
