Sideshow (Stage One: Denial)

Its two sides to every story
This is my story
I was in denial
Our relationship just two titles
I was sleeping next to my biggest rival
Didn't know that I was the sideshow oh
I was in denial
Our relationship just two titles
I was sleeping next to my biggest rival
Didn't know that I was the sideshow oh

To tell the truth fam I ain't even see it coming
I was in love this chick wasn't that cunning
I was running from reality of physicalities
That made me overlook and see if this she was for me
I dove right in and put her on a platform
Should a got a warm towel soaked my face with chloroform
My sworn enemy disguised she a shape-shifter
I carried most the weight should a been a powerlifter
Figured anything she wanted it was worth getting
I was a love-stricken fool for a Lil kitten
Funny how I didn't think this could happen
My niggaz from 4516 know I ain't just rapping
Letter to the past yea I done settled down
But looking at myself I wish I was YOU now
Fuck growing up maturity is overrated
These women talk the shit we talk but say they degraded

I was in denial
Our relationship just two titles
I was sleeping next to my biggest rival
Didn't know that I was the sideshow oh
I was in denial
Our relationship just two titles
I was sleeping next to my biggest rival
Didn't know that I was the sideshow oh

Hard to portray the image til you get home
But I was the image 24-7 long
Stay strong even though my heart on my sleeve
But I ain't switching up nothing going change me
Now my vision tuned I could see you miles away
Ignore the smear campaign and walk the other way
I could admit that I fell hard but it's a lesson
And I'm still straight way past your projection
I kept doing more to try to stay in your favor
Instead of helping I was feeding all your bad behavior
But you keep on pushing until my view clear
I'm looking for you but this new bitch appeared
Or was she there all the time and I was just blind
Make me think that you was just a figment of my mind
That I created tryna find bliss when I'm idle
I still paint her like a saint cause

I was in denial
Our relationship just two titles
I was sleeping next to my biggest rival
Didn't know that I was the sideshow oh
I was in denial
Our relationship just two titles
I was sleeping next to my biggest rival
Didn't know that I was the sideshow oh
