TAKES A VILLAGE Video (MV)

Yeah it takes a village to raise a child you make a case all alone
If I could build up my kingdom and put your face on a note
She basically told lies, on top of lies, she came for your throne
What good is all my accusations when they're based off of those
This shit ain't safe when we grown, quick disappeared
You left without a single trace in the cold
And it don't count as face to face on the phone
Last time I heard you was in the states by the coast
In a foreign place on your own, I get it
You needed to leave for the stage that you own
Even if I knew you would I prayed that you won't
But now it's flipped I'll tell you this, "look bitch you ain't coming home"
And I don't say shit to boast, don't get complacent you chose
That life you changed for the most, now I think
Was you right when you said that I've wasted our moment
And I won't claim that I know it
I'm on my fake shit I'm hoping
That you crawl back to me
Crawl back to me, tragedy
Actually so sad to see
What if that was supposed to be but I ruined my chance
You looked at me from on the floor but I didn't go dance
Like why the hell would I go for it, and risk looking so bad
If you and me was meant to be I know I ruined our chance
F*ck it wish I was the one who took it
I struggle to pick it apart, how you left me so brisk in the dark
Or maybe I left myself back there and I just forgot
You seem to go wherever I'm not
But I know that we'd talk if you came to the block
You like a full court when ain't shit on the clock
It takes a city to f*ck a child you make a case all alone
I can't lie I'd kill an empire just to save you from Rome
But knowing you, you just might betray me for dough
All these decisions that you've made on your own
I swear you're talented but your brains gotta go
A deer in headlights and you held me by the reins in the snow
Stuck there it felt like I went lame couldn't grow
But it's for you that I would stay in the cold
Still if you ain't perfect then you very f*cking close
Your friends thinking I'm this and that, we barely even spoke
I can play dumb but I'm fairly in the know
You are what I lost but you stay winning
I wonder if there's a broken heart for every country you been in
When you need to be fixed, come back to the village, yeah
