R3trO Riq - In my place

If love's an emotion
Why can't I control it?
My heart's thumping over and over
Convulsions
It's way too late
For my heart to break
It's no more debates
I'm safe in my place
I've been through many women
Most of which just bad decisions
While they were condescending
I was tryna focus on how we could
Find comfort and settle
Without us burning bridges
Or maybe it's just my ignorance
Telling me that she'd actually
Grind harder then turn into
A "Ms. Independent"
Well tell me why I blow
she now dependent
Used to the stupid gimmicks
And fraudulent feelings
Formed from the fondest women
They told me "Watch who you picking"
Might have the wrong intention
We used to cop the pj
Never worried bout the distance
I passed my shorty grip
That's just incase we had to spin it
I put a grand in yo hand
100 thou for spending
She like the bread I get from rapping
Why she acting different
The hurt of being by yourself
No other pain amounts
Just tryna understand the business
what the fame about
I'm sick of simple flings
Consistently come hold me down
Come spark the flame and let it burn
No time for burning out
You were my muse
Now it's hard to be amused
All them nights we used to sit up thinking
Drinking, passing booze
I been feeling too confused
Are my thoughts just not in tune?
Cause even though our past was trauma
I'm still steady thinking you
I can't argue when I'm with you
I just think it's different views
Oh, you hanging with them boys tonight
I know that's just ya crew
Tryna sugarcoat the feeling
Of disloyalty from you
Either way it doesn't change the fact
I'm often misconstrued
You feel me?
Thought my heart was talking louder
But you couldn't hear me
You know the city that we from
That's why we kept the semi
She said I'd never be famous
I sound too much like Drizzy
That's probably why nobody else
In SC steppin with me
Yo love was so dope
Used to go toe to toe for
Now they asking "who?"
Like all y'all women work at Hooters
You get fed, that's why I look at 12
As inches on a ruler
So if love is an illusion
Tell me why I would include you
That's the journey I'm pursuing
If love's an emotion
Why can't I control it?
My heart's thumping over and over
Convulsions
It's way too late
For my heart to break
It's no more debates
I'm safe in my place
So how you feeling when you off game?
That's how I'm feeling right now
I try to tell myself "it'll be okay"
But I'm still hurting deep inside
I mean I lost a couple friends
And connections tryna find new direction
And I got tired of seeing failure
In my own reflection
I tried to shade my imperfections
Like I'm unaffected
Even though I'm safe in my feelings
I still feel unprotected
Even in the places you feel confined to
The darkest feeling always seem to find you
Down to the depths of your deepest thoughts
Are you still haunted by the love
That you lost too
Don't let evil prevail
Or your love grow stale
The best soldier for your battle is you
May "The High" Watch over
