Foundation

Yeah my first lesson in love was 952
Supposedly your family would do anything for you
Unconditional typical
The same ones who love for no reason even more when you be difficult
And that's where it all started
Foundational intimacy is where I go to unpack everything in my heart that I just so happen to be keeping guarded
Relinquishing that shit before I'm dearly departed

I found a woman that gave me comfort in truly loving
Until she want me to share my feelings I don't need her judging
Thick skin for thick times I always had it
Less emotion more logic the opposite an addict
Public image of my relationship is mad different
People always want what we got but never know what's missing
And I just roll with the punches cause we so beloved
When I can't even tell my girl how I wanna be loved

I see it coming
Claiming you ten toes down but know I see you running
Tell me what you want from me
Boy be honest
Tell me where it hurts so we can share the burden
I promise

Yeah she said she see it coming I know she see me running
Shorty always got my back even though I'm always fronting
And my mistake was bringing over expectations
I call her my little mama but there's no mother relation
Brought over toxic behavior I'm acting like it's nothing
Feeling overwhelmed I'm just suppressing shit ain't no confronting
Both assuming we mind readers nobody talking
Pretending we pitching ideas we really balking

But all my baggage from the past are from my exes and previous realities that I never healed from
She showed me all of her scars and in return let me pretended a nigga had none
But the past shouldn't solely shape the present
Cause you really a present girl so I gotta be present
I know it's too easy to hide but I can't keep it inside cause all the pain I got is truly depressing
But

How I be everybody therapist I'm the one needing healing?
How I tell you how I feel but girl not really how I'm feeling?
How I pretend to be the strongest I'm weak inside?
How I'm supposed to be your man but can't even provide honesty and emotional stability?
We scared to turn into our parents that's emotional fragility
How can I be so blind to the self-sabotage?
How can I manage my own pride not even knowing that they coincide?

Tell me how do I do it
How do I love someone who's winning knowing we both fucking losing?
How can undo all the trauma without moving backwards?
How can unlock happiness if I don't got the password?
I see you roll with the punches because you in love
How can you love me when we both don't know how to be loved?
I hope you see why I'm asking
Thought my foundation was solid but that shit really collapsing
Baby

I see it coming
Claiming you ten toes down but know I see you running
Tell me what you want from me
Boy be honest
Tell me where it hurts so we can share the burden
I promise
I see it coming
