In Failure LP PT.2’s 3rd lead single
ShiVam’s pays an ode to an unknown woman in his life. It serves as a love letter to her.
She a Open Book seems to be an entirely different side of him never seen before by his listeners and critics.
[Intro: ShiVam]
Where them white doves at?
How long does this love last
This is just a slight love tap
Our love is unmatched
[Chorus: MellyX]
I wear my heart on my shoulders(heart on my shoulders)
I gotta watch out for clowns(clowns)
They the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
I put that pain in my cup(pain in my cup)
Mix it and then I'll drink it down(drink it down)
They the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
No they the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
Ain't nobody was around(nobody was around)
No they the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
Ain't nobody was around( nobody around yeah yeah yeah)
[Verse 1: ShiVam]
There ain't no holdin' me down
No laughs, ever saw a sobbin' clown?
My days when nobody around
Can't see my face in my sorrows I drown
Went from sad to drinkin'
Snakes and me have no business
I point 'em out like a witness
Most bitches be a near miss(miss)
I been goin' through her texts
Our relationship's rekt, we cryptic
We see each other, we bust tecs
Make up and then rough sex
She got all o've 'em
I ain't got no fucks left
Tryna figure out what comes next
Things we both said, yeah no regrets
Pickin' up of what's left
Secrets we both kept
From both of us, tho my girl knows best
She my whole world, ever since I been sober
I'm blind but so's love, oh Girl
Yeah we got this old hurt
No girl, I do no dirt, I'm like J. Cole umm
Tryna get my bread in this cold world(Sigh)
Oh I'll climb the charts, sighin' my bars
This song's kinda farce
A bitch broke my heart, all night I sobbed
Chopped my balls off, I ain't never fuckin' again
Cut my phone off, I ain't duckin' your calls dawg
Had to be said, shit's like my battery's dead
Let them know, I'd never hit a bitch up for nothin' again
Fuck blowjobs, I'd never let a thought like that get to my head again
[Chorus: MellyX]
I wear my heart on my shoulders(heart on my shoulders)
I gotta watch out for clowns(clowns)
They the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
I put that pain in my cup(pain in my cup)
Mix it and then I'll drink it down(drink it down)
They the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
No they the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
Ain't nobody was around(nobody was around)
No they the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
Ain't nobody was around( nobody around yeah yeah yeah)
[Verse 2: ShiVam]
Carry this page on my shoulders
Half my pain noone knows but
That's why we so fucked, soaked up
The world did me bad, she was all me had
Then why we end up doin' same ol' crap(Yeah)
Then I light up a smoke
We might have some hope
Ye the night was dope but fuck I have to go(Yeah)
This habit is too rogue, maybe Im just too woke
My nose I kept clean
These hoes be threatnin'
Haters? Bro can you let me
Prepare a shot o' ketamine
Heart's palpitatin' like the emperor(hah)
Gotta get on my Alpha shit now
Old me goes in the beta bin
All o've 'em used me and I never said a thing
Ridin' my wave still they can't catch my drift
All they had on me was my skin
Like that time when I was 8 and broke my chin
Mom was all over me scoldin'
"You wouldn't talk again normal kid!"
Yo mom, hold my beer
Now I get what she meant, I can't hold my tears
Damn look at all these years, I lived in constant fear
Babe I took my L's, now 'fcourse I'ma win
Even if we really ain't together on the sofa
I'd like to say you kept me floatin'
With all my self loathin'
You're the reason I feel alive
It's cuz of you I'm still breathin'
[Chorus: MellyX]
I wear my heart on my shoulders(heart on my shoulders)
I gotta watch out for clowns(clowns)
They the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
I put that pain in my cup(pain in my cup)
Mix it and then I'll drink it down(drink it down)
They the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
No they the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
Ain't nobody was around(nobody was around)
No they the ones holdin' me down(holdin' me down)
Ain't nobody was around( nobody around yeah yeah yeah)
[Skit: Carl Denhem + Journalist]
What does it matter? Airplanes got him
It wasn't the airplanes
It was beauty killed the beast
