Price Of A Life 221

It took so long, it took so long, see It took so long, cause I didn't wanna let go But I came too far, now, now I gotta press on To everything that I prayed for, it's breaking my heart Cause I didn't wanna let go, no The harder I loved, the harder I fell I felt like I was living in hell And calling it love didn't sit too well with me Nah, nah, when she died, I died, I cried Cause you didn't know the price of a life And I would neva do it Cause the price is too high It was getting crazy, I don't fit in Looking all around, had to play pretend I was always down in my feelings, waiting for justice Something that I would never get As long as I held space for them My patience went right out the same as shame came in I didn't even know my name, I had to forsake Everything that happened from that day I couldn't fathom that it would go this way I'm restrained by the faith Gotta let it take its place in the natural order of things You made choices that distorted emotional change The missions aborted, I'm loaded with forces That'll wipe that smirk right off they faces Bitches be certain till they drown in the waves I say put them all in the ground, if they seeds I'm a fountain The hate they gave was building a mountain And it's been rough, it really fucked me up The harder I loved, the harder I fell I felt like I was living in hell It took so long, cause I didn't wanna let go But I came too far, nah, nah, nah, nah I gotta press on To everything that I prayed for It's breaking my heart Cause I didn't wanna let go, no When she died, I died, I cried Cause you didn't know the price of a life And I would never do it Cause the price is too high and I couldn't This is breaking my heart Cause I didn't wanna let go I want everything I prayed for I guess I gotta move on and I should How can I look in your face? Better how could you look into mine Knowing I've been crying since I was little I got shot but I didn't get the riddle I'm not fine, everything's broken They took me as a joke but I'm well spoken Feeling the yolk break They strangled her with a rope and raped her My whole life I've been violated They wonder why I don't celebrate Ain't nothing fake about my DNA It costs me every time I rise I cannot stay or ride with snakes Keeping me stuck, cut the cord And let me fade away Before I f*ck em up Calling me mad bitch I'm mad crazy And I just wanna talk in person What did we learn from this? I'll burn the mystery And glide throughout the turns and twists You should've played nice If you wanted to win Stop all that tricky shit If it don't fit, I'm dipping Spirit gon' shift me through the sticky shit Before I trip Nigga I'ma get lifted And mind my business Cause it's been rough This really fucked me up The harder I loved The harder I fell I felt like I was living in hell And calling it love didn't sit too well wit me It took so long Cause I didn't wanna let go But I came too far Now now I gotta press on To everything that I prayed for It's breaking my heart Cause I didn't wanna let go No The harder I love The harder I fell I felt like I was living in hell And calling it love didn't sit too well with me No, no When she died, I died, I cried Cause you didn't know the price of a life And it took so long It took so long Cause I didn't wanna let go I want everything I prayed for I guess I gotta move on And I should They don't know the price of a life They don't know the price of a life They don't know the price of life They don't know the price of a life And I came too far Now I gotta let go Imma just let go Imma just move on And I should The harder I loved, the harder I fell I felt like I was living in hell And calling it love didn't sit too well with me No, no When she died, I died, I cried Cause you didn't know the price of a life
