Lastnight In Allentown (feat. Arsheen)

Last night was a rainy night
And if you knew it was our last time
I'm sure things would be different
I'm done making beds out of lies just to not live in them
I'm tired of playing games and tags on FaceTime
We disconnected because I finally understood
That we were always loving in two different languages
We try to make homes out of houses
When I was the only home I ever needed
He said you live and you learn
But sometimes my actions are completely opposite of those teachings
I continuously find myself in rotation
Making the same mistakes over and over again

The only goal was live it up while we're here
Rest In Peace my brother every now and then I shed a tear
Not being here for my love ones that's the only thing I fear
A house ain't no home if there ain't nobody there

Couple times I was wrong and honestly I didn't even care why
Shorty in Arizona text I wish that you was here now
Don't be out here checking where I'm at that shit get weird
Only time I'm checking is to make sure that shit done cleared

Father had a different look when he was walking up the stairs
Said he gave his man the L first time I seen his tears
Not being here for my family that's the only thing I fear
A house ain't no home if ain't nobody there
It's my last night in Allentown
Club packed niggas like where you was at
That was last night in Allentown
I'm at the park with my daughter
Niggas saw me like we love you way outta town yea

He said you live and you learn
But sometimes my actions are completely opposite of those teachings
I continuously find myself in rotation
Making the same mistakes over and over again

Said you live and you learn
That same vibe that you put out you gone get in return
If it ain't nothing bout my brothers it's not my concern
Niggas be jumping in that fire and they knew they would burn
Don't get a suit get an urn
I wasn't stupid I learned
Since mama used to go get that Doobie and perm
Right there on Bergen in Newark
They locked me up for the strap
Then they served me papers for court
But that was about my daughter you know damn well I take care of mine

Lehigh Valley
Pulled me over I'm like I just dropped her off
I just be tryna spend time
Lehigh Valley
Pulled me over I'm like I just dropped her off I just be tryna spend time
I know I may not pay fines

A felony that's pending tryna cross the state lines
This shit get crazy
Was gang banging before the fashion
Big 30s on my back FTD up on my jacket
You already know what I'm jacking you don't even gotta ask it

The only goal was live it up while we're here
Rest In Peace my brother every now and then I shed a tear
Not being here for my love ones that's the only thing I fear
A house ain't no home if there ain't nobody there

Couple times I was wrong and honestly I didn't even care why
Shorty in Arizona text I wish that you was here now
Don't be out here checking where I'm at that shit get weird
At the park with my daughter niggas saw me like we love you way outta town

Not being here for my love ones that's the only thing I fear
A house ain't no home if there ain't nobody there
Couple times I was wrong and honestly I didn't even care why
A house ain't a home if there ain't nobody there
This my last night in Allentown

Sometimes the people we love the most hurt us
the hardest
Silence my gut feeling just so I can hear you lie
Just to see how far you take things with your conditional love for me
Because we give the wrong people access to the deepest darkest pathways
You know I have three people on my list who I'd call to move a body with but I bet you with my all that I'm on a lot more people's lists
Take that in and count the people you can really count on how you surround yourself with empty vessels sucking out all that magic
We let people steer us away from our life purpose just because of their own fears
But eventually you have to see people without their superficial faces
Built on speculation and trust issues
We just never know where their heart is
