Third release from “The Competition.” It seems this song is about the expectations of society interfering with the relationship between Jana and a parent (or maybe a parental figure). It also features Baltimore musician Elon Battle ( :3LON )
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
You could have had me
But you wanted a daughter
Could’ve had me
But you wanted the same old song
[Verse 2]
Why can’t we be with the ones we were made to love?
I live as instructed
No way thru
No place in me for you
I drive at night
[Verse 3]
We could’ve been family
(When you knew all along you had to let this go)
But you fucked up
(And you knew all along our bond was losing hope)
Could’ve survived
(Can we survive? Can we survive?)
But you want it all
[Bridge]
I wonder why, do I have to make a sacrifice?
I hear you cry in the middle of the dead of night
I wonder why, do I have to make a sacrifice?
I hear you cry in the middle of the dead of night
[Verse 4]
Why can’t we be with the ones we were made to love?
We live as instructed
Why can’t we be with the ones we were made to love?
We live as instructed
Talk is cheap
And everyone’s police
I drive at night
[Verse 5]
Why can’t we be with the ones were made to love?
We live as instructed
We had streets
But now there’s just police
I drive at night
