Walk Away

Yeah
This is the one I had in mind for the intro
Or reintroduction at this point
Sometimes the anthology
Welcome
I told myself I'd only do this under one condition
Made a promise to be a 100% honest from this moment going forward
If I jump back into rapping just to get up on here capping
Fabricating well then what's the point?
I think I tried to mimic every flow they ever made
If you pull the files for every track I ever laid
You hear hints of Nas Hov back in 7th grade
50 on Many Men, Eminem on Renegade
Gucci Mane on Lemonade
From 2010 to let's say 2014 everyone was trying to serenade
Including me
I could do them to a tee but didn't reach my final form
Until I finally started doing me
Is it too late?
I mean my knees and back already ache
Or can a young man miraculously catch a break
Ok if I was chasing fame maybe I would be ashamed
But if you're following your passion it's never too late
Remember time is man-made
We decide what to do with it
Only thing we don't decide is when we're through with it
20,000 hours I spent mastering the craft
Did the math made about 250k
Not too bad but when you put it in perspective what you have
Is an average of around $10 a day
Only a fool would ever think I'm in this for the pay
When you in love the hardest thing to do is walk away

I tried my best to give this up
I tried my best to turn and walk away
Convinced myself that maybe music it just ain't for me
Then this hook came to me
I tried my best to give this up
I tried my best to turn and walk away
Convinced myself that this relationship ain't meant to be
But you keep texting me

It was a simple hey stranger seemed pretty innocent
From time to time we would check on each other
Old friends ok maybe more than friends
But agreed to stay friends you know mutual respect for each other
Flew way across the country after we were done
Took a job in San Francisco said she needed sun
Two bed two bath it's been a year and a half
Always extending invitations for me to come
Now in the past I would pass keep the skies clear
'Cause if we're trying to make this work well here's an idea
We could have fucking did that in the first place
Instead you said you wasn't ready and you needed time
So I pretended to respect it
Trying to keep my heart protected acting like I was completely fine
I guess you didn't have a clue on what I had in mind
Huge engagement party plans hard for me to hide
Your friends knew your mom too they were all excited
Your step cousins step cousins they were all invited
30 days until the day is when you went and dropped the bomb
Every kiss begins with K refund begins with R
Now I'm looking at my phone thinking of replies
Do I tell her that I miss her or ignore her due to pride
The sucker in me hit her back like can we talk today?
When you in love the hardest thing to do is walk away
