faces of my lovers

over everything

Fell in love with you when I was ten
Before I knew about sex or thought of tatting up my neck
Butterflies in my abdomen, I know sometimes I act reckless
But girl, you leave me breathless
You know that I treasure you, thinking of you every second
A life without you, I can't imagine
Been thinking bout it ever since, back to the times when we were kids
Playing cops and robbers with stones and sticks
Now the hoes want prada bags and Kylie's lips
Never mind a rose with thorns that prick
Middle of the month, momma stressing
Pray to God that you come back
I can't live like that, in a frenzy of sadness
Depressed with my back against the wall
And the markets crashing, gotta stay ahead with my life on a thread
They put so much effort in following trends
I'm just tryna make it ahead, pay my amends back in cash
And if I get caught in a scandal like Janet,  I know you got my back girl
Toast to the days when we were lacking
Now it's straight up passion, obsessive to say the least
Always been possessive, even as a kid
Walk around in a wife beater and papercuts on my fingertips
Not to mention, the chronic's A-list
Who's to blame if we got the same hours in a day
But the unemployment rate rising's every single day
So, we now gotta act dumb, save up
Cause no one's saving us, the government's fucked
Not to mention the glocks that creep in the dark
Here I am falling apart, losing it all
To greed and lust, fiending for more
Wanna stack up my funds, disappear for some months
Party with some bitches on a yacht
Doing bar tricks, do a whole lot of drugs
Cause why not, honestly nevermind
I'll be fine dawg, I'm only doing this to make it right with God
The niggas that we grew up with seem to be losing it all
I don't know how to save em all
If I could, then I'd save em all
But its dark outside and the walls creeping in
And my thoughts are leaking through the seams
And from the top of my lungs
I'm screaming that I love you over everything
