Away From You

I tried the very best I could But that took me away from you I didn't want to go This time I may be wrecked for good That takes me away from you My love, it hurts my soul It hurts my soul All those nights Huddled up together when we swore we'd fight To leave this world better than the wars and plights That our elders left for us Left for us All our lives I know you remember how our bond's been tight Every storm we weathered helped our hearts take flight Not a soul could sever us Sever us Held each other down even when fighting for survival Yeah I know they've got me But what we've got's ride or die, though I'm just focused Used to think the people's goals were my goals Hate how deep this got The only option's shaking my soul This is unprecedented Just the cost of the choice made to go and get it Later when they're saying yes he did it Hope you speak of the toll of this whole decision I still believe that you know my heart Thanks for how hard you tried to protect what's in it Every move you make is a work of art While you know that I've always been reckless with it This is heavy Listen I tried the very best I could But that took me away from you I didn't want to go This time I may be wrecked for good That takes me away from you My love, it hurts my soul My love, it hurts my soul It was never hidden Not my true intentions My initial vision Kept up my resolve The path to hit it's Just a bit different Than what we predicted When they breached the walls I weighed the options And I tried to listen To the people saying this was not the call But this is why I had to get involved Just hate I didn't say goodbye at all This takes me away from you It's crazy I hate this I prayed I could Stay with you I've made it But baby That takes me Away from you It's crazy I hate this I prayed I could Stay with you I've made it But baby That takes me Away Yeah How're they hating when we didn't choose To be born into systems that abuse People who they raise to obey the rules Let us perish so they can protect a ruse World stacked against us Kids indoctrinated to attack and kill us Guess they fear replacement Now they're acting senseless But if I respond in kind it's bad intentions Least I have some kindred Spirits down to ride the wave They go hard for what I say Even if they find their graves Feds posture, they could save Now the plan's annihilate In their eyes the vibe is hate They refuse to find their way They feel fine if they get paid Wish this paradigm's erased So set my mind ablaze It all has to change now That's why I had to stake out They stepped on us trying to gain clout But they gon' see me on the way down Thought we were close To finding solutions That let us live fulfillment And that end the killing We wanted both Thought humanity Could just supersede Division they need To keep us enclosed But all of my hope They blew it It went up in smoke I'll handle that the only way I know But what hurts the most is This takes me away from you It's crazy I hate this I prayed I could Stay with you I've made it But baby That takes me Away from you It's crazy I hate this I prayed I could Stay with you I've made it But baby That takes me Away
