[Hook: Shela]
Will the words that you say
Try to wage a war tonight
I'm just tryna be contrite
And the word around the town
Is you arrived here just to fight
Here we go again it's time to play the villain
[Verse 1: J. Han]
You’re scribbling a little sentence
Doodling a little figurine as your witness
Your notepad’s opacity’s really zero
I hope you see me as good fella, De Niro
Is it really hard to do that?
You’re looking at me like I’m hiding waves in a do-rag
Words old fashion.. like a medieval doodad
Who that, who that tryna be that lad
Who that, who that tryna be that lad
Man, I’m not tryna be a dad or even wear that hat
Cause I just wanna be your friend and brother and that’s that
And for my love .. you don’t need to play your hand, blackjack
I got your back.. why’d you question it and all that jazz?
In a flash, all that pedigree has all backtracked
If you’re mad, all that bitterness is all hazmat
But we just gotta get it moving, pack it up -- knapsack
[Verse 2: J. Han]
More often that not
We get ourselves tied up in a knot
Over trouble we see hanging and dangling on their facade
But when you break it down, it’s a lot smaller than you thought (fiat)
It’s so much easier to demonize you
And only think about just me and I (true)
Can’t see the other side of the wild zoo
Though I’m riding my high horse and (ahh-choo)
Excuse me, I’m sick from fighting all night
To stop the barking and avoiding every dog bite
This inner battle of forgiveness is a long plight
Long flight to never land (all aboard)
Or maybe hop on a blimp and fly over it
I don’t want my anger dying down and sobering
I want to relish it, believing that they can’t change
Maybe I’ll feel better since it’s me that I can’t blame
[Bridge]
You’re painting me the villain, can’t you see it?
Maybe it’s a blind eye you send my way
I just wanna let you know
Love is unconditional
Though you see me as your enemy
I’ll never let you go!
