How many times did I have to prove we're not one and the same
How many nights did you have to work so you'd cover your stains
How 'bout relationships you would ruin to buffer the blame
How do I slide if you drop the ball when you come through my lane
Maybe my ties get it resolved and retained
Or it gets you all in the game
But keep it, don't call on my name
Build an image you couldn't maintain, fault in your cornerstone
I can imagine what's in your chest when you're all alone
I can imagine the look when judgement is on the phone
Judging off current matters
I made a move for the aftermath like I'm signing Mathers
I had invested my time to show you the wrong rappers
But I get a kick out of the return like a long snapper
You're moving backwards
We all eat with an enemy that we're calling a friend
If they press on an open wound, it's gon' happen again
And they'll wonder what did you in
Last night was the last time that I'd question it
Last night was the last time that I'd see it all the way through
And alas, be the one to pick up what's left of it
Last night was the last time I'd be hesitant
Residence in your feelings, you're out of line
How can I speak for you or finish your sentences if you did the crime
Figure a change in our story when all our stars align
But, we'll never see eye to eye if you don't look me in mine
I got Chase on the beat, just know it was years in the making
This the shit you couldn't afford with the payments you're making
I ain't had to load up to the friendly fire and accidentals
If you don't even light up when it's aimed at your temple
Understanding the mental when rivals spar
Understanding it's out of your league like she ain't give you the time of day
Your performance ain't up to par
You're relegated to watching them from afar and it's killing
Just like when you're the problem, I know it's hard to swallow
I know it's hard to resist and not suffocate in your sorrow
Know you struggle on giving back what you take and you borrow
I would say it gets better tomorrow
But everything inside me would rather some front seats
Would rather I come see
No way y'all was sonning me
The shit I'm on's running deep
Cain wasn't ever able to match with his brother's keep
So ready I'll be when they come for me
Last night was the last time that I'd question it
Last night was the last time that I'd see it all the way through
And alas, be the one to pick up what's left of it
Last night was the last time I'd be hesitant
Residence in your feelings, you're out of line
How can I speak for you or finish your sentences if you did the crime
Figure a change in our story when all our stars align
But, we'll never see eye to eye if you don't look me in mine
Hope this sets you free
Look after
Hope this sets you free
Look after me
