Jus O - Love Don't Live Here

How can things be normal now when we ain't even cordial
Milked me til I spilled it all and all you did was spoil
I know things ain't what it was I truly thought that you was for me
Or maybe I'm blind or you just got a shitty way of showing me
We was posed to rise above but you won't even grow with me
Let you drive me crazy off of the thought that you would go with me
I been on my grind it's always you that's on my mind
You was in them rooms when I was tryna find a rhyme
Told me I could my flip two cents into a dime
I used to view you as a guide on days I couldn't find a sign
I even listened to your pops because I couldn't talk to mine
I ain't have a ladder in my hood just had to climb
Bro was finding loop holes but you would say I'm fine
So i would pass up the money train cuz shit I'm in my prime
Never once did I complain
Never did I point the blame
I just put my head down and worked in the snow and rain
Thinking with my heart when I shoulda been using my brain
Cuz you was moving on and I shoulda been doing the same
No reward for being loyal
They'll return you to the soil
Can't always trust the shine a lot of times it be foil
Funny how things work
Now I'm putting me first
My nightmares don't even scare me now because I seen worst
Keep a lot inside cuz I don't even wanna seem hurt
Plus I can't get no tears on this brand new McQueen shirt
I claimed to be a lot of things y'all but never perfect
Most of the cost for all my losses wasn't even worth it
Expensive pain can make you rich but they don't reimburse it
This life shit a movie but you can't rehearse it
Fuck a handout just wanna see the plans pan out
Was only 14 when pop died became a man child
Church couldn't tame my thoughts exactly why I ran wild
Was sitting on ideas tryna figure how to stand out
Starting selling trees in attempts for us to branch out
A few been moving funny so them niggaz ain't my man's now
The blessings gon come I'm just real enough to withstand droughts
Kept it real from day one hope my day ones understand now
Sometimes I pray our spark will reappear
Other times I truly couldn't even care
This the shit that be trapped in my head
Soon as we found a life together you left me for dead
No reward for being loyal
They'll return you to the soil
Can't always trust the shine a lot of times it be foil
Funny how things work
Now I'm putting me first
My nightmares don't even scare me now because I seen worst
Keep a lot inside cuz I don't even wanna seem hurt
Plus I can't get no tears on this brand new McQueen shirt
