GRADIENT

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Maybe
Maybe, yeah

[Verse 1]
Maybe I was too tough, treating your ass like tumor
You traded all your humor for jaded and cartoonish
The pressure often too much
Too many eyes are on me
Too many nights of coughing and I'm often sleeping poorly
Yeah, maybe I'm too soft on your ass
I built a wall between us just so I won't stomp on your ass
And what's it to you, but I still am having thoughts about the times of when we sneakin'
Public speaking never too good for you
You actin' like I would for you, could for you
But look what you did to yourself
That couldn't be good for your health
Well look at the records we made
I bet that look good on a shelf
But all of the questions remain
Is there any good in your self?
Or could you help it? Nah

[Bridge]
Couldn't count on you, so I double down on me
Why you go and switch up, yeah
Why you actin' criminal, wanna walk free?
Why you got me mixed up, yeah

[Chorus]
Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent
Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant
Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent
Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant

[Verse 2]
I don't feel the need to talk about it
I just keep it private
I would like to see you go and try
For you it's auto-pilot
Keep it in your climate, I'm not trying to be the one to try you
'Cause you love the conflict, 'cause your soul don't know peace
'Cause your whole life like a small fight just to feel like a piece
Spent too long trying to prove wrong when the world at your feet
Your buzón like it's Tucson 'cause it stay in the heat
But you never defeatd
But you never conceded, yeah

[Verse 3]
I want a part in my play
Two times I've been played, yeah
I want them all out the way
Faux friends and them fakes, yeah
Retreating my circle these days
Keeping it all in appraisal
Stay with the ones that are stable
Never too much at the table
I gave away all my information, took about 1400 of my days
You should pray I get lucky, find missing patience
Fit for the grist you been dishing, I'm wishing you warrant a war-ish behavior
Doubtful on what I'ma say to you
Hours I spent on the gradient
Wishin' you never betrayed me, I'm wishin' I'm gone

[Chorus]
Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent (wishin')
Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant
Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent
Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent
Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant
Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent
Used to be my homie, used to be, yeah

[Bridge]
Couldn't count on you, so I double down on me
Why you go and switch up, yeah
Why you actin' criminal, wanna walk free?
Why you got me mixed up, yeah
