Gave You My Love

[Intro: Sample 1]
I was just calling to say that it had nothing to do with you
You didn't change, it was me... I changed
There was nothing you could've done to make me stay
There was nobody else, I left for myself
It's just that... how do I say this?
One day things didn't feel the same

[Verse 1]
I showed you every level of my brain
Shared every error that I never should of made
Never said success was either treasure or the aim
But as I played each quest, I felt the pressure of the game
Never said I'd beat the best or be the best, I need to stress
I never need to reach for breath, or skip a beat or three to rest
I spit for leisure, pleasure, never censored how I feel or jest
But when you're listening to me each bezel on your screen is blessed
Get obsessed, get depressed, or be possessed by each finesse
Jay-Lee lyrics read correct unlike the Daily Express
My heart is in the music every beat in my chest
Feel it flowing through my veins at the beat's BPM
Chasin' what the system wishes we didn't know
That's the reason what I spit'll never sit in my throat
I seize on every chance to save a kid from a boat
But the demons in my past never leave me alone, so

[Hook: Sample 2]
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)

[Verse 2]
When I gave you my love, you took yours away
The more I cared about the art the less a shit you gave
Was it the messages of hate that made you want to stay?
Mow on the precipice of great, there isn't case enough to play
It's confusing
Because the more I give of value the less you want to pay
Is there nothing I could say or do to make a few remain?
I don't do nothing except lay the truth and
Make the booth a place to make a change
I just prayed a tune'd connect with you or led you through a phase
Where all you want to do is break and start again, escape the pain
I'm not the same as you, we're all unique in our pursuits
I wish that I could talk to you and ask what makes you 'you'
I'm chasin' all the answers that I wish I could know
That's the reason what I spit'll never sit in my throat
I seize on every chance to save a kid from a boat
But the demons in my past never leave me alone, so

[Hook: Sample 2]
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)

[Verse 3]
I've ate shit enough and now I'm back to spit it at you
I don't salute the British flag or praise no racist statues
Refuse to sit by dick in hand, I'll make a stand against you
Any man that tries to stop me I'm the greatest one to match you
I'm the enemy authority wishes they could mute
But they can't remote control me like the terror drones they use
This for anyone and everyone who bares their own issues
Who're scared alone and bruised, or can't share their home abuse
This is for anyone whose government won't let their people loose
Where their media and news are just dystopian produce
Or for anyone whose freedom's been refused
Ever hit with bullet wounds or arrested for their views (views, views)
You're why we take what system wishes we hadn't knew
You're the reason what I spit will always speak out to you
I seize on every chance to do what I couldn't do in the past
Because my demons never mean more than you, that's the truth

[Hook: Sample 2]
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)

[Outro: Sample 1 & Sample 2]
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)
Gave you my love, you took yours away (What do)
I understand if you hate me, I never imagined that I'd say this to you
You have to know though that I didn't plan for this
Why did you take your love?
I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to fall out of love with you
When mine was here to stay?
Because I truly did love you, I still do, but not in the same way
Gave you my love, baby
Not in the way that would make it fair for me to stay
I'm sorry things couldn't stay the same
You took yours away
Maybe we can be friends again someday?
