[Intro: Cantrell]
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Huh
[Verse 1: Cantrell]
What do we do when we both feeling depleted?
The walk is amputating, we both feeling defeated
Some more, you say you needing, we both lookin' for peace
And we know it won't be found in this ship, throw my heart off a boat
I was drowning in Jack, hoping I'd stay afloat
I think I need a new uh, or something brown for the cope
But it's cold in them streets, you better pack a new coat
Even so
You gon' hit Twitter for the validation
I'ma hit my nigga for some conversation
Like am I trippin? 'Cause you've been distant
I feel I'm rentin' feelings and your heart been vacant
My friend said that I should know my place
I'm payin' over budget for other niggas' mistakes
I'm such an outfit, no matter the fashion is
We lately been passionless, I'm thinking of cashing in
I'm tired
[Chorus: Rex Evans & Cantrell]
Heavy heart, guilty conscious
Taking pieces of me, that's what you cost me
This is what love looks like when you've lost it
It turns to skull bones and crosses
Hold my breath, it gets toxic (Yeah, yeah)
Your love is skull bones and crosses (Look)
[Verse 2: Cantrell]
You was there for me back when nobody else was
I was there for you back when nobody stepped up
Then you went ghost when I needed you the most
Make me wonder if I'm really the one or slop seconds
Still fight for you, still give up my life for you
I'm making the time for you, I know that I'm right for you
Still carve my heart out, set it on fire for you
I'd swim in the mud for you and water the right soil
But I guess since I ain't famous or gangbangin'
Or chain swangin' or kinda poppin', I would
Get kinda jealous, admit it, but never sweat it
I get it, I'm just the nigga to catch you whenever dude fallin'
If I was 6LACK, you wouldn't act like that
If I was JID, you'd wanna have my kids
If it's one thing I learned from all this shit
Is to guard my heart 'cause life is a bitch
You make me sick
[Chorus: Rex Evans]
Heavy heart, guilty conscious
Taking pieces of me, that's what you cost me
This is what love looks like when you've lost it
It turns to skull bones and crosses
Hold my breath, it gets toxic
Your love is skull bones and crosses
Your love is skull bones and crosses
[Bridge: Cantrell]
Yeah
Yeah
Ayy, get your drinks up
Yeah
Ayy, fire your dank up
Yeah
Ayy, send your prayers up
Or whatever you aim for
[Verse 3: Cantrell]
Huh
When you was choosing everybody else, I still chose you
When you was fuckin' off, I said fuck it, I'll see shit through
When we in public, act like it's nothin', but you seem fool
I seen them dudes you choose, I know you like they jewels
I know you like they gold, but they ain't got no soul
You know that they'll get old, shawty, come on home
Ain't Macaulay with coping, ain't tryna be here alone
Getting better with God acceptin' all of my faults
You hear this, give me a call, I think that we need to talk
To the woman that broke my heart
The city I got my start
To the game I can't depart
To everybody and more
Thank you
Yeah
I needed it
[Outro: Cousin Uey]
What up, cuz?
This Cousin Uey bringin' you some light and a thought to think twice
You were down to your root chakra givin' all your energy
Overlookin' your crown to be crowned based off what niggas think
It's all good, though
Even the bad
It's just heads and tails of the same coin, remember that when you gettin' the bag
Exalt yourself and fall from wealth
Be humble with it, don't brag
When you give to God first
What God give you gon' last
And that's on God's word
But God's work is hard work
No days off, but it pays off
