Big K.R.I.T. - Words To Me lyrics

What's the true measure and worth of a man? No credit if you weren't present at the birth of his plan Pledged to the pleasure, treasure is never given But ripped and taken from the seams, awaken from the dreams, be driven Believe in your power to reap your own seeds Fulfill your needs and desires Empires built higher and never considering the fall Still minds stuck in a never-ending stall And the ever-standing walls built by you Limited the view and perception k**ed by two sides of the same coin Witnessing pride and shame join Praise and blame joined at the hip Lies and truth coming from the same lip Tongue twisting while wishful thinking That the relationship isn't sinking Asking how much more can the spirit, feelings, and heart take So you set yourself up for failure and heart break And the daily fights take up weeks, and it starts to take Years of tears streaming, fears and demons teeming, seeming sick Dreaming you weren't weak Maybe a little stronger, asked for another chance, a little longer The devil dance to angels song or Humming, strings strumming And heart beats drumming to its own tune Too soon you fear, and nights dragging the moon near And the ruin is obvious and I'm in this Going nuts like almonds is, Ominous crow craning its crooked neck Symbols simply here, and sympathizing is fear of being alone Sitting at home, out of the zone Prone to start bouts of a memory Wondering about if you remember me Saying you'll never do better since you met her You can't forget her despite empowering rhetoric Until it makes you sick Apparent that the fear is a tattered pattern Flawed karma flowing happening Harming future harmony and happiness
