Borrowed Breath

[Intro] Empty room, empty files Thought we was tight, now it's just denial Demo in the wind like borrowed breath Trust turned to dust, yeah, that's what's left [Verse 1] Thought I knew you Derek, thought we had a bond Till you took my soul and put it on your hard drive, dawg Now my truth floatin' through the streets without me Like you breathin' with my lungs, how you do me? Samples scattered like my thoughts, all distorted Trusted you with gold, but you just extorted Every line I wrote, every beat I made Now it's out there naked while my spirit fades [Chorus] They say revenge is cold but trust is colder Every day I'm gettin' older, chip on my shoulder Can't breathe right knowin' you stole my air Borrowed breath, borrowed life, tell me is it fair? Damn, is it fair? [Verse 2] PhD in the game but failed Psychology Should've seen the snake behind your mythology Got me analyzin' every single memory Wonderin' if any of it wasn't forgery Late nights in the studio, now feel different Every track I lay down got me hesitant Used to flow free now I'm second-guessin' Every move I make, yeah, that's the lesson [Bridge] Fragments of my art scattered in the wind Pieces of my soul that I can't defend Now I'm breathin' shallow, trust wound deep Every collab feel like enemies in my sleep [Chorus] They say revenge is cold but trust is colder Every day I'm gettin' older, chip on my shoulder Can't breathe right knowin' you stole my air Borrowed breath, borrowed life, tell me is it fair? Damn, is it fair? [Outro] Empty files, empty room Thought we was tight, now there's nothing to prove Just borrowed breath in the midnight air Ghost of what we had, but you didn't care
