Promised Land

[Verse 1]
All I know is you don’t know me
We not close and you can’t hold me
Give me trust? Give me love?
I don’t need none of your trophies
I don’t need you below me
Feeling rushed, so Adobe
Got just one too many things
I remember when you chose me
Acting like you figured me out
Keep my name up outta yo mouth
What you tryna get me to talk about?
I’ve been doing just fine without
Pardon me if I got some doubts
You told me that I can’t amount
Took me in and threw me around
Now you mad cause I made it out
You can tell me that you understand
But I don’t think you do
Always try to get thе upper hand
Whenevеr we argue
Now it seems like you don’t give a damn
‘Bout anything that’s true
‘Fore we make it to the promised land
I need to speak my truth

[Chorus]
I wish that you understood my emotions
I wish that you wanted to
I wish that you was the way that you used to
I’m trying to move on from you
I wish that you understood my emotions
I wish that you wanted to
I wish that you was the way that you used to
I’m trying to move on from you

[Verse 2]
Now I see all the games
I done learned you through and through
Never found a way to win
We only play within your rules
Finally tried to call you out
I think I’ve heard every excuse
Said that things just aren’t the same
But I know this is nothing new
Now I know that you don’t understand
All the things that I say
Probably thinking that I’m emotional
Too sensitive for your taste
You told everyone that I know it’s my fault
And I should take all the blame
Never think about or even care for
How you disrespected my name
You can tell me everything’s okay
And try to make a move
Maybe promise me it’s bout to change
But never follow through
Why does everything still feel the same?
With everything you do
‘Fore we make it to the promised land
I need to speak my truth

[Chorus]
I wish that you understood my emotions
I wish that you wanted to
I wish that you was the way that you used to
I’m trying to move on from you
I wish that you understood my emotions
I wish that you wanted to
I wish that you was the way that you used to
I’m trying to move on from you

[Outro]
Cole, where are you going?
