Shield Over My Heart

I feel like I ain't got no purpose I helped them out and help like I ain't
Tired of hurting got Tired of working Can't get to where I want to if I ain't and
That's for certain Turn off the lights turn up the music
And close the curtain And I don't think it's worth it what?

Chasing your love you stepping over me How could you treat me like a scrub
You say the love ain't real If we can't stay after we fuss
Then what is love?
No what is love?

I feel like I ain't got no purpose I helped them out and help like I ain't
Tired of hurting got tired of working Can't get to where I want to if I ain't and
That's for certain Turn off the lights turn up the music
And close the curtain And I don't think it's worth it

Can't express how I'm feelin' And I don't blame you I guess this how a
Nigga livin' I was feelin' alone wishin' times could
Be different I ain't even ask to live so why the fuck a
Nigga livin'

It's been a long time comin' It's been a long time comin
But I'm still runnin' But I'm still runnin
It's been a long time comin' I'm comin
But I'm still runnin' But I'm still runnin

No but I wish No it could all be so simple
It could all be so simple I know when it rains
So that bound to change But I'ma protect my temple
I'ma protect my temple And I'd risk it all if you could do the same

And Momma protect my dogs for me while I build up a name
And I'm just reachin' for the stars And I'm just reachin' for the stars
With a shield over my heart With a shield over my heart
Although I'm still feeling pain I can't let it faze me

Constantly waiting for change That shit be driving me crazy
But I know I'm amazing Boy you amazing
Still wanna get Ma than Mercedes Still wanna get more than Mercedes
They say you grown up They say you different

I wanted to be with them but that was in the beginning
Now I don't want them in my picture Understand they don't get it
Get mad when they around and Then they say I'm in my feelings
If you gon' come at me come at a nigga clean

And I'm still at the bottom with my brothers Chasing my dreams
Stop social living What you see ain't really what it seem
They treat us like we animals Like we ain't human beings
And love it ain't meant for me Cause I done tried over and over

I guess it ain't meant to be Ain't no convincin' me
One day they love you Next day they don't
Were the consistency? I'm gone I know you missing me
And I got a lot of questions But I don't have the answers

I don't know what I want Let me have a talk with the pastor
That lil' nigga gone grip that hammer Like Xray behind that camera
Behind that camera behind that camera He love money and dancers
I feel like I ain't got no purpose I helped them out and help

Like I ain't tired of hurting got tired of workin
Can't get to where I want to if I ain't And that's for certain
Turn off the lights turn up the music And close the curtains
And I don't think it's worth it

I don't think it's worth it
