dadeft - Betty Ross Lyrics

Keeper; way deeper

As long as you're happy, I'll be fine
Even if it means removing myself from the equation

Yo! It's been a ride, wanted to rhyme
Wanted to write a song about you for the longest time
But I didn't back then, no words in ma pen
No flow with the tide, no Glock on the side but now
It's way too different, looking back, hindsight, perfect envisionment. Uh
I'm no longer lost for the words and the fact of the matter is, I bleed, and I hurt. Uh
No lie, I'm telling as it is, this is all truth, never cover up in this biz
That's the thing that really drew us in vogue
I believe to be so, hope you agree with me tho - Re - Me
Was looking for Betty Ross in the stern but you were at the bow
Whipping up a different turn
Funny thing tho, we were still moving forward
Both hopefuls, and 'cause we're not cowards
We did flinch tho, still said, "Go." Chanced it, romanced it, we had it
Took it real slow, approached with caution, both slow danced into the wrong mansion
Worth the mention, no pretension, slight apprehension, sought out wisdom
Well, at least for one of us tho, the other one of us, deems himself to be reckless: ME
This is something that I gotta live with, gone too soon, the tale of two misfits
We were the same, and yet we were so different. Opposite attracts?
That is now an understatement
Chasing Pavements, Loving in the Dark, Letting It all Go, Battling the Scars
Falling All Apart, right down to the core, and this is how I cope with the cuts, and the sores

I'm a man of ma word, I will not revert, whatever I said to you is truth, in spite of the hurt
You were the only one really, after 3 years, after 5 in fact, whom I treated with respect
I tried my best, just thought you should know, when I talk about you, all good things for sure
When I reminisce, I could've been more than venomous
And I thank the Lord He did keep myself from us-at the time
But now, we look at our time, and I thank the Lord, we even had a time
Albeit, no doubt, short-lived it was. Reckoned it was all caused for a cause
No such thing as coincidences. No random acts of incidences
Everything Divine, Providential, orchestrated with its fullest potential
But again, I was looking for a Betty Ross. Probably a cause for discourse
Stark differences; scratching the surface. This is how I will choose to remember us
My prayer, not for me, in fact, but for you at that, wherever you're at
Is that you'll find peace within your soul; unshackle the shackles that be keeping you low
Coming to grips with the powers that be, and finally, setting your own self free
Looking back at it all... Would I have chosen you for the fall? YES
If I had to do it all over again, I'd gladly choose you again
Even though we can't be lovers, we can still be friends? DAMN

This is way harder than I thought it'd be-real talk
I've learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages
