From a Distance

Yeah
Uh huh
Yeah
This some shit from the soul
Feel what I'm sayin?
Real talk
Yeah

You see myself is the only picture that I ever learned to paint
Figuratively, literally, I'm mentally unconstraint
No I can't say I'm a saint
But I don't feel a restraint
So come on let's get acquaint with the truth
Something most don't wanna do
I came up most my life knowing what I wanna do
Expressed it many times, guess it never got through
And I don't boast and yell, shit I rather show and prove
What you believe is reality, I see it every time I snooze
Law of attraction, I put it out there til it's true
I came a long way from when I started with a crew
There's no stowaways, meaning your path is paved for you
And once you look back it shocking to see who you outgrew
Thought I knew the outcome but ain't really have a clue
The day they turned they backs on me is the day they gon' rue
How you go ghost then say 'boo'
Once you see me well without you? now you pop up out the blue
I see, you took me for a joke, trust me I'm never kidding
I'm locked in on my goals, ain't notice you was missing
Thought you really knew me, turns out you really didn't
That's why your left forgotten, that's how you were forgiven
It's all love from a distance

I've cleared my mind (yeah, it's all love from a distance)
And I opened my eyes (it's all love from a distance)
I've cleared my mind (it's all love from a distance)
And I opened my eyes

You see your sister took you in when everybody wouldn't
Have you ever stopped to think 'what if she said she couldn't?'
And Instead of tryna repay her, go and make her proud
No you ran off with a nigga, how that turn out now?
And though at the time young bound to make mistakes
Once you brought my name in it, yeah that took the cake
Oh she dead to you now? Aight say that shit
That just mean you dead to me and I don't play that shit
Always been a drama queen I really hate that shit
All the shit you said and done don't go away that quick
And i know some time has passed and Yal on good terms
I just only hope you learned, that ain't my concern
Ain't no fixing shit with me trust me that bridge burned
But she always looked for you, now it's your turn
Always wanted that bond with you, you busy buggin
Shit the only thing I lost was bonding with my cousins
I just keep my silence when you're within my vision
Thought we would be vibin, that ain't the life we living
The shit you pull is rotten, wish it turned out different
That's why you're left forgotten, that's how you were forgiven
It's all love from a distance

I've cleared my mind
And I've opened my eyes
I've cleared my mind
And I've opened my eyes
