[Intro: gage] Amy was also strangely into rap And towards the end of her life told Salaam Remi "I can't help but keep writing gangster rap, like Wu-Tang sh**" Just so you know This for you, Amy! [Verse 1, 1st half: gage] This what you wanted, ain't it? The pain of crushin' and brushin' off all the pics we painted Complain and say it was overrated and complicated Then later contemplate and cut ties to the love we tainted But sh**, we almost made it Time to burn rubber, you spurned a cold lover Turns out you only learn to turn hate to more trouble I fell for you the hardest Blame the starving heart of an artist partially marred by cold remarks and taking charge [Verse 1, 2nd half: gage] When you leavin' me, its hard to let you go But when I'm leavin' you, you never show how hard it is to be on your own And it's 'cause you gave your heart on loan You not tryna love, you tryna waste my time Maybe I should find myself another guy We've been on the rocks and we can't deny But I think I crossed a line [Hook: gage] If you still care, then it didn't mean a thing to me But if you don't, it was over ‘fore I did a thing Don't make me love him when I should be loving you Don't make me love him when I should be loving you [Verse 2: Eli Arbor] Ain't this what you wanted? A relationship for you to flaunt and sh**? The way I painted you taught me to see my world was different In the midst of commitment, we ignored eviction from our homes Built the stones that we through Eyes on the prize, kept my mind off of you Mind in the sky, far under foot House in the ash now we yearn under soot And I'm nose-blind to the smell of your sh** But we was rosebuds when our petals was clipped Now it's heavy brush strokes and a canvas Your new man, gettin' tired of his antics But sh**, when I was with you I was thinkin' of her And you was thinkin' of him My heart was startin' to heart You really had to know in the ether where my heart was at Now I'm paintin' pictures of you hopin' I can draw you back [Hook]
