Jay Ant of the Invasion - Ascension lyrics

[Verse] Lyrically I could be Talib Kweli Said f** following whoever decided to leave God's speed, Rocky at the top of the steps Give everything I have in me, 'till it's nothing left A man's defined by his words, quiet as its kept Keep your third eye open, no paying intercept Son, what's the meaning of life? Trying to stick to the code, I'm not reading it right Uh, so one can be a sign Feels like everybody around me is living a lie Enough water that I could drown all the tears of my eyes Wanna make the world a little better, before my demise Feel like the gap is getting longer, the higher I climb Having to put myself right again time after time Line after line I'm elevating the collective conscious Skipped over college, took my tuition, I made a direct deposit Into the school of hard knocks, I'm majoring in my dreams And now my wallet is so big that it can't fit in my jeans God, family and music, won't let the sh** intervene I had a dream when I was younger, I was winning that ring I had to switch up my roster, switch up my mantra Hard to stay humble when they're praising you at concerts Stupid, occupied so I divide up my attention Thought she wanted me to blow, how you can't do with my ascension [Hook] I thought you loved me (I do love you!) I thought... I thought you were the one for me (Baby, I'm the one for you I know it!) Like, forever? (I want this sh** forever) What happened? (I don't know, I was tripping) (I was on the, I was on the bullsh** like) (The insecurities in my mind just kept working in) (It's was just the b**hes and the I don't even know) (I was tripping please) (It doesn't even matter like) You're all I want, I'm sorry no (Wait no, come back) (Don't, don't walk away from me) (Cause I need you, I love you) (I'm sorry, please, I'm not good without you) (Don't leave me) [Chorus] I thought you loved me I thought you love me You said I thought you loved me I thought you loved me No, no, no, it's not love, no
