H.B.K

My heart broke a thousand ways, breaking out those chains
Free at last, that's how I felt, first time I ever made
A girl feel like she was mine, but I never felt the same
Sit back and watch all them seasons go by, the feelings fade
You know the pain, you can see it by the Scarface
Fell in love in August, and by December it was heartbreak
Damn, swear this life ain't fair
I fall in love so quick
I'ma make my own path, and don't you follow me there
I've been alone for quite a long time now
Won't know what's on the other side until you go and find out
Used to put up with bullshit, but now I got a spine now
New Year's resolution, baby, so it's time to grind now
I keep my head down, but that don't mean I wind down
When I get to where I'm headed, I won't ever climb down
They start to call me insane, cause I've been moving different
And when the money had came, suddenly I'm prolific
I keep it real, no gimmicks, I do not rap for no image
I know my people depend on my pockets turn to deep ends
My heart been in the right place, but still it feels so misplaced
I see the pain in her face, memories that I can't erase

My heart broke a thousand ways, breaking out those chains
Mama, I'm the heartbreak kid, look at the boy you raised
We know the stakes of the game, yet we still play the game
So when we hurt when one another
Tell me now who's to blame
I was 18 when I had my first taste of love
That shit tasted like heaven gates with the paystub
Love or lust, I could care less about what it was
Long as I was inside something, something to warm me up
I was 19, driving through the burbs with my high beams
Felt like 12, arriving at the crime scene
A couple shots from the back, and then hear lady screams
So focused on killing pussy, forgot about killing dreams
I was 20 when I had my first shot at redemption
A pretty little light skin, focused on my complexion
Could see right past the front that I put up for protection
So when we fell right in love, she only asked me one question
What does love mean to you
What does love mean to you
Say, what does love mean to you

Yeah, yeah
The heartbreak kid responded, always been cold-hearted
Maybe just misguided, and he tried his best to hide it
He knew he owed it to this girl to keep it real and honest
He searched inside himself for truth if he could really find it
He used to pray to God that one day he would fall in love
Love like he had seen on TV screens when he was growing up
Type of love that get you high, but you don't ever sober up
Wonder if that shit was real
Wonder how that shit would feel
Yeah, wonder if he deserved it
Yeah, wonder if he deserved her
Wondered if a day would come where, a day would come where he would hurt her
The heartbreak kid responded, now speaking true and honest
I got you, I promise
I got you, I promise
