Her vs. Music

Nenzo, I really don't understand
How could you be disappointed I moved on to another man?
You were all that I wanted and you never really understood
You were so focused on this rap game and repping your hood
If you ever grew up and actually looked around
You'd see there's so much in your world besides music and sound
I know that it's your world, but there's been clouds in your face
Responsibility is just like something you can't face

No, it's all about the rhythm, harmonies
And samples on your planet
If there's a hopeless girl begging for your love
She can't have it, god dammit
You closed yourself in a dome and then talk about free birds
Your intentions have always been different from home
I'm in a relationship and I feel on my own
How can I look up when my man ain't standing there in my zone?

Well, I'ma catch this moment just like you told me
And remember that all the affection I give
Will never be as good as that damn guitar riff
You continue to equalize your vocals
But when will you realize the locals
The ones that live with you and give you everything that you have?
You rap like a pro but you talk like a passing fad
Where the social skills at?

How about me? I'm always there for you
Even when your best friends started hating on you
You call them a crew, but I've been there by your side
You wanted ride or die, but never there with the ride
The tide is shifting, my spirit uplifting
I'm sick of you, child, all I did was assisting
Like I'm a fucking agent

'Cause you can't handle your shit
Every sucker who tried to hurt you, I through a fuckin' fit
I was your badass bitch, and a sweetie to your family
I left it all behind, I deserve better than this tragedy
Humanity needs you, you've got a good heart and I know it
But how 'bout a partner that's also a poet?

I'm not disrespecting your music, but hell yeah, it's competition
She ain't got a physical form but you're locked up in her prison
She tagged your back and your wrist with a tat, better than that?
She's taking all your time and pulled you away from your stat
I know that she saved your mentality, but I saved you from dying
You're suicidal without therapy and I'm exhausted from trying

You gotta take care of yourself, always throwing yourself off the shelf
Myself is not the one who has to handle and I hate her!
I pulled you away from the tracks, the rope and the skyscraper
Like the music give you reason to live but you don't wanna
All you can do is complain and smoke marijuana
I know you loved me more than anyone and anything
But you're a constant fuck up and you can't seem to learn anything

Any string I held that maybe had a chance
You tore for your music so those strangers can dance
You don't know them, they don't love you, you're not a legend
You could come home tonight and everything is mended
Just me and you time, and I'm, I'm picking the playlist
But instead, you're on an empty stage acting famous

You're dangerous, and mostly to yourself
You're a ticking bomb, oh, and so is your health
I don't want tear for tear, I'm done with this shit
You make me look like I was the one losing my grip
Well, I did
My hand is now open and free
And never will you have to wonder if music is better than me
