(Verse 1)
Tana put me on to Dom Kennedy
Taisha made me look inside myself to find a better me
Sofia gave me comfort, nobody came to check for me
Vic showed ambition and what could've been my legacy
Now I'm left to juggle pieces of what could've been
Taking you for granted was my greatest sin
Haven't been to church, my faith came and went
Too prideful, my gift was heaven-sent
That's the only thing I thought would get me in
Leaning on the accolades has never been
Beneficial to furthering self, nobody I grew up with was birthed into wealth
Had to convince you that what I could do was good for your health
But if my heart ain't in it, then I just get placed on a shelf
Like everybody else that you encountered on the way to yourself
Yeah
How many L's does one take before he asking for help?
After the second time, I'm only fooling myself
So many times I wish I could've done it different
It's always the little things that go and make a difference
(Hook)
Said I wanna grow with you but this ain't it
Hope that I'm forgiven for the childish shit
Watered you down, you is a fire pit
Chink in the armor I had to take a hit
Wherever you going, you gonna see it through
Ain't no other woman walking in your shoes
Kick em to the curb when you in a mood
N***** is laughable, what they do for you
(Verse 2)
I'm paying homage, these verses are overdue
I needed closure even if it's not coming from you
I refuse
To hold onto resentment
Treat the trials like a checklist
Move with caution when stepping
Gave me emotional intelligence
Ability to write these sentences
To represent how I'm feeling just like a delegate
I'm only getting better with it
Empathetic to how I was moving
Let me inside ya home so I thought I was shoe in
Always supported what I was pursuing so it's only right I shed the light on the women, including
What I took from the situations, I'm now aware
Now the outside looking in, you could tell I'm there
I keep it honest in my content, why they can't compare
Reflection of my life, way closer than I appear
A woman will have you all up inside ya zone
True love reveals itself when you out here alone
(Hook)
