The Cost

[Chorus]
So wrapped up in a point of view
You can't see the truth that's right in front of you
As long as you can keep em' all around
You can keep em' all around
You can keep em' all around, right?
(right? right?)
So wrapped up in a point of view
You can't see the truth that's right in front of you
Sideways, talking out your mouth
Disconnected from reality
There's no one left to doubt, yuh

[Verse 1]
Time is never lost, time is always crawlin'
Baby's first steps, now he think he ballin'
Life is so long, lie for so long
How'd you even know what you really call it?
You think that you been trickin' 'em
All you do is trip yourself when you ain't quick enough, yuh
You wish this shit was simple now
Sittin' all alone cause' you can't get it down, yuh
It can't be all your fault, they got you flippin' out
Trust was not an option, how's it different now?
Everybody changе on you, everybody flake
Nobody rеliable, ain't nobody say it
Circular in nature, never want to learn
Deaf to all your failings, you ain't never heard
The song sang bout' everyone around you
Caught up in yourself, you never found you, huh

[Chorus]
So wrapped up in a point of view
You can't see the truth that's right in front of you
(Sideways, talking out your mouth
Disconnected from reality
There's no one left to doubt, yuh)
As long as you can keep em' all around
You can keep em' all around
You can keep em' all around, right?
(Sideways, talking out your mouth
Disconnected from reality
There's no one left to doubt, yuh)

[Verse 2]
Only asking for advice to hear reflections back
I am no mirror on the wall, you think I'm less in fact
You think you fairest, and its unfair that I would question that
You should be embarrassed that you haven't learned this lesson yet (for real, for real, for real, for real)
You're too grown not to take on responsibility
Your drawn to victim's in your path that can't see toxic energy
You try control, you try to plead, you still can't find no inner peace
You think it's them, you think it's me, we must be plotting your defeat
How often does it happen where it just happens not to be your day?
You get to talking and to acting then believing what you fake
You stay blind to it, as you bind to it
Fill in the shape
Just to walk another circle on display

[Chorus]
So wrapped up in a point of view
You can't see the truth that's right in front of you
(Sideways, talking out your mouth
Disconnected from reality
There's no one left to doubt, yuh)
As long as you can keep em' all around
You can keep em' all around
You can keep em' all around, right?
Sideways, talking out your mouth
Disconnected from reality
There's no one left to doubt, yuh

[Outro: Spoken]
Uh- e- yeah like- I'm not "the one" you don't have to treat me like that, and I don't think I'm going to teach you any lessons, you're probably not going to change. The lesson I am teaching you right now is get the fuck away from me
