L1 and Toni Smoke - You

I don't need a boyfriend, I need a shrink
I need somebody to fix how I think
And that should be me but it probably won't be
I am too busy perpetually floating
Find it hard to commit to life
I get scared when I get it right
Incase I get attached and it's ripped away
What if I take a shot and it ricochets?
I don't know what I want most days
Cant grow if I don't see light
I'm buried up under a pile of mistakes
I dig my own grave for a place to hide but

You - gotta be the one that I want now
You - gotta be the one that I hunt down
You - gotta be the only one to pick me up
When i'm drunk and i'm looking for bud now

At war with my inner child
Have been like all my life
But all of a sudden I'm feeling discomfort
Cos if I don't do then the dream will die
Never wanted it that bad
Never could see that far ahead
Choices are limited, I gotta live with them
Maybe I'll make myself smile instead
See I write to make sense of the madness
I don't process things when they happen
Push it aside, then months gone by
Before I let go of a small interaction
I cannot write an album right now
Need to get my behaviour in line
Before I can settle, say something of worth
Instead of just giving a piece of my mind
What can I do when it comes in fragments?
Get put off and I can't look at it
Something's wrong
Gotta kill old habits
Say that I will but it may not happen
Same thing on a different day now
Same kid on a different playground
Life get rough when it kick you in the guts
And you try to get up while it scream out "stay down"
Wanna throw my phone in the bin
Wanna kick it with people who know how I think
I wanna get on a plane to Berlin
I wanna fuck with my brain till it's fixed
I will not be manipulated, if you wanna fuck me over better get creative
Best bet Imma fail if you test my patience
Whole life everybody underestimated but

You - always be the one that i want round
You - always let me in when i'm locked out
You pull me up when I take it too far
When my head's in the clouds and I don't wanna come down

You - gotta be the one that I want now
You - gotta be the one that I hunt down
You - gotta be the only one to pick me up
When i'm drunk and i'm looking for bud now

You - always be the one that i want round
You - always let me in when i'm locked out
You pull me up when I take it too far
When my head's in the clouds and I don't wanna come down

You - gotta be the one that I want now
You - gotta be the one that I hunt down
You - gotta be the only one to pick me up
When i'm drunk and i'm looking for bud now

That's alright, I don't need validation
From people who get off on victimisation
You're sick in the head and I don't have to take it
I wish you the best but i'm hoping you changing
I reserve the right to evolve
Been down, been depressed since 12 years old
Heart pound through my chest
When I sense an agenda
Kiss the envelope and return to sender
Been bitten twice, it will not be a hat trick
Believe your own lies
I don't get down with that shit
I laugh mother fucker you tragic
A terrible actor, so save the theatrics
I appreciate the inspiration
You know nothing get me going like some indignation
Fuck a bad bitch, this a good woman
Go above and beyond for the people I shouldn't
Suddenly strong now i've dealt with the hard part
Fought with myself and it forced me to grow up
Torture yourself if you must but i'm so done
No skin off my nose if they don't show love
You can shove it where the sun don't shine
You either coming with me or you left behind
I'm running late, I am now 28
And I barely remember like half of my life but

You - gotta be the one that I want now
You - gotta be the one that I hunt down
You - gotta be the only one to pick me up
When i'm drunk and i'm looking for bud now

You - always be the one that i want round
You - always let me in when i'm locked out
You pull me up when I take it too far
When my head's in the clouds and I don't wanna come down

You - gotta be the one that I want now
You - gotta be the one that I hunt down
You - gotta be the only one to pick me up
When i'm drunk and i'm looking for bud now

You - always be the one that i want round
You - always let me in when i'm locked out
You pull me up when I take it too far
When my head's in the clouds and I don't wanna come down

I'm not gonna waste the rest, no
Never even given fuckin 80%
I'm sick of waking up dead, sick of hating my head
I'mma change it right now, start making amends, yes
Its, feeling good to be better, still get it wrong
Fuck up harder than ever
But I never stop tryna fix what I damage
One thing at a time straight line, find balance
Everyone wanna be savage, everyone gotta be callous
Everyone holding the almighty gavel
They throw it around like a kid with a rattle
Tell me what my problem is?
I'm not tryna make hits, I'm just tryna live
And that bothers them like it bothers men
When it's more than that but I call us friends
Terrified to get hurt again
I got fuck all left and give everything
And get nothing back, because love is wack
So attacking them is my best defence
I aint ashamed to admit it
I deal with the pain when I say it with rhythm
And I love to write but I hate all the critics
The fuck out my face if your kiss is a hindrance
I know he love me a little
Tattoo on his chest with her name in the middle
And I know he miss her, won't play second fiddle
What's love got to do with me keeping it simple?
What's love got to do with me keeping it simple?
What's love got to do with me keeping it simple?
