yeah the child in the mirror was homely
so he learned early on how to switch into low key
little person, observant and accurate
glue the skills to argue and the passion the back it withkick over the blocks just to rebuild 'em
cause mom and pop used to pop me, sound familiar?
daddy had to leave, but momma kept hurtin
so he stepped up to help to be an anger and a burdenand right around the same time
started noticing girls, but they wouldn't pay him any mind
and if they ever did, he got nervous
you shoulda seen him practice on his hand for his first kisseven though he was too young to hunt and gather
hungry puppy had to learn how to front and swagger
it didnt matter, it was all self esteem
at 16, you only needed one on your team
mom and dad was never gettin back together
so he was on some 'baby we gon' make it last forever'
basically married, right out of high school
five years of gettin high and fightin at a drive throughand when he hit 21, they made a son
but on his 22nd birthday the relationship was done
now hes got a best friend instead of a wife
but he feels like he stole the best years of her lifeafter that it was one co dependent to the next
a lot of love a lot of hate and a little bit of great sex
self learnin in between the self loathing
strangled in a cycle, cant feel yourself chokingsome of them would overlapse
some of them would double back
none of them deserved to be exposed
to all the troubled that he posed
strike one, not even out of fear
he dont even do rough sex, you bite him and hes outa here
make no mistake, he puts the man in manipulate
and hes attracted to the women that reciprocatey'all can kick karma till its gettin late
until mammas little drama is the topic of the big debate
and nowadays the confidence is off the page
cus women are attracted to that clown on the stagehe's only in town for a hand full of hours
but rupunzel wants to come down and dance in the flowers
wanna make her smile? want to make her laugh?
want to make up for the mistakes in the past?want to act like he doesnt know better
if payback's a bitch, he'll be in debt forever
insecure, impatient
temporary radification, self validationthats what its made of its all true
and its the only reason he's even talkin to youyou can try and fix my broken wings
you can know all the words to the songs i sing
but you dont need to know whats wrong with me
unless you think you're gonna come home with meyou can try and fix my broken wings
you can know all the words to the songs i sing
but you dont need to know whats wrong with me
unless you think you're gonna come home with me(come here)you can try and fix my broken wings
you can know all the words to the songs i sing
but you dont need to know whats wrong with me
unless you think you're gonna come home with meyou can try and fix my broken wings
you can know all the words to the songs i sing
but you dont need to know whats wrong with me
unless you think you're gonna come home with me
