34/M/Canada My writing comes from a place I connect with my soul and heart
Intro: (soft instrumental) Verse 1: It only got harder, I swear to you Everything I was doing wasn't to hurt you Sitting on the couch, pulling out my hairs Wondering when things will change, feeling like it's all in vain Day after day, asking myself How much more do I need to change? I did everything I could, all that I knew how to do But the arguments never ended well, our hearts pulling us closer Yet our minds drifting apart, beyond our reach It was never supposed to be this way I tried to hold on, but couldn't stay Chorus: Those promises You had me living out promises Those promises Were they ever real to you? It only got harder, I swear to you Those promises you made Had me waiting, standing still Those promises were never real anyway Verse 2: Got us the house we both wanted, dreams shattered in the end The love we once had, couldn't withstand the pain Why didn't you just walk away? Instead, chose to stay, repeating the same mistakes I just don't understand, what more can I do? To make you see, I don't want you here, I can't go through it all again It's hard enough for me now, I can't stay Chorus: Those promises You had me living out promises Those promises Were they ever real to you? It only got harder, I swear to you Those promises you made Had me waiting, standing still Those promises were never real anyway Bridge: (Instrumental break) Chorus: Those promises You had me living out promises Those promises Were they ever real to you? It only got harder, I swear to you Those promises you made Had me waiting, standing still Those promises were never real anyway Outro: (softly fades out)

Broken Promises

Magical ain't it I'm running with a crown Wasn't born into it this way Nope, didn't steal it But I ain't no Saint either Just worked it up from the bottom Looking up to a ceiling Then putting my head down, I told y'all I told y'all I wasn't gonna be the same No not after all that I've been through Not after I dropped all the pride for y'all Not after I walked off with my head up strong Oops now I am seeing a flock Throwing bread crubs look at em follow Yah I'm a beast with it Guess growing up wasn't so easy Maybe that's the story you can't hear it Many dark moments have me remenising Painkillers just isn't cutting it now is it Had to break off this vision Had to look beyond anything I could invision Nothing new dark roads will tell you This one has some light Must be the flashlight I'm holding Magical ain't it I'm running with a crown Wasn't born into it this way Nope, didn't steal it But I ain't no Saint either Just worked it up from the bottom Looking up to a ceiling Even when they left me Even when they doubt me Even when they smiled at me It didn't mean anything Saw it for what it was to me Headed up a mountain no strings Never looked down I forgot it Quiet up here ain't it Hearing echoes all around me Maybe all those heavy feelings Finally lifted me Magical ain't it I'm running with a crown Wasn't born into it this way Nope, didn't steal it But I ain't no Saint either Just worked it up from the bottom Looking up to a ceiling Skies in reach clouds are now beside me Every lasting freedom that I seeked Sweated off calories for years Didn't even notice it was for me Go and buy it I don't need to see Like it, I take it now it's free Everything in my hands or just in reach Chose to walk away you see Lost it all for me What's the point with no depth Felt like I was reaching blindly Creative soul burning deep with hopes Uneducated goals reached them all Presidented stance welcoming everyone Come in come in with a soft tone Magical ain't it I'm running with a crown Wasn't born into it this way Nope didn't steal it But I ain't no Saint either Just worked it up from the bottom Looking up to a ceiling

Yesterday I woke up, Felt the fresh air, Had me going crazy, Haven't had a breath fresh air. Looking back thinking, Putting my hands in the air, Giving my self a good stretch, What it is to be alive again! I am always here, As long as I'm Alive, You are not alone, You'll always have a home, Since I am here, Keep it in the past, And don't you ever look back, Then again even if you do, I'll always have your back. You've been surpassing everything, Learning it from falling deep, You didn't want anything. Just looking at a fiend, Waking up reaching the alarm, Do I even have to ask? Yes you had another sleepless night. Walking up hating life, Another day carrying regrets from ur past Another day another bag, Another hour and I know your calling, Demons had you under, Looking at you now, I see you reaching up, High as the ******* stars. Yesterday I woke up, Felt the fresh air, Had me going crazy, Haven't had a breath fresh air, Looking back thinking, Putting my hands in the air, Giving my self a good stretch, What it is to be alive again! I am always here, As long as I'm Alive, You are not alone, You'll always have a home, Since I am here, Keep it in the past, And don't you ever look back, Then again even if you do, I'll always have your back.

Fresh Air
I just want to stay down, Everytime I'm falling, I don't want to come back up, Why is it that everytime I fall, I fall so dam hard... So dam hard hitting the ground, Oh It justtt makes me never wanna come back up, Never want to get back up. Yet everytime, I have you here at my side, Like a fallen angel from the sky, You've touch me see inside, Engraved deep in my life, Oh oh oh oooohh I am not staying down anymore. Keep reaching out, don't stop Because I have no one else now, Ohhh oh oh oh... You never turned around, You never walked out, Always picking me up off the ground. Then more and more each time, Just having you by my side, I will never again, Never again fall that far downnn. Ohhh I was walking in the dark, How I couldn't see anyone, Your eyes are what lead me out. And nowwww, I will never never again fall back down. Never fall downnn. I'm determined to die now Nothing will make me fall Fall as hard as I have.

No one else
Maybe i got to much spice for yah Or you just ain't a fan of spicy food Not sure why your starving me There are plenty of spices too choose You got me on that mood I dont wanna be fighting you Never wanted to, but you digging in Was too low from you Somebody else has dirter hands in all this Who finally stepped up to take care of you Its just perfect all at my expense Wouldn't want it any other way Maybe it was my mistake. What are you going to do? If your counting now Start count with the people close to you Figure out which one helped you. But whats the past I'm just following the future That's something you knew from day one Didn't you? Where are you?

Never to look back
Yah and I bought it cuz I can I bought it cuz I want it Got like how many tags? I told you over and over I am not playing a game Waking up day to day I'll show everyone I'm not the same Gaining everything my way How many times till you understand I am the man, I'll say it again and again I am the man I am the man Good luck finding another Now you see me blowing up Trying to stop me is your plan Only to see for yourself I'm not to be messed with No, I don't want to be your friend Keep whatever love is left Yes just point me to my fans Hahaha there I go again Laughing to the bank Cashing in another cheque You still waiting on another one Didn't I tell you before I don't wanna hear it anymore. Hoped in my new ride Baby did you forgot? I told you in time I will get what is mine Better off moving out my way Or I'll just make one Nothing will stop me Today to tomorrow Got the reach at my hands I'll get it all Now just move along, move along I'm starting to yawn Is it from being bored Or maybe from the grind Either way I'm good And I know your behind.

Impenetrable
Funny how I see you losing control Yet I'm still loving you more Nows the time its been to long Forcing you out of my heart Your even colder then before Only to know what your going to do next Over Lilyanna our blessing Sick ******* women you ended up being Jesus come get this demon Fearless with my sequence Disturbing your inners Flexing making a living Your getting all caught up in it Haha I'm cheesing Left the spot for a min Need to escape your feelings How come your still bleeding To much negative energy Step out my circle I'm leaving How long has it been Still seeing me focused Liquid water hypnosis Swimming under an ocean Sitting on a coast Your so far you don't even know But I was raised to not over look So you may still get a chance Don't expect it again though

Your out
I was really doing it, focusing in on the ring Now again I can't even think, how come you don't wanna link Again and again, pride is over coming what your feeling Then again I shouldn't be surprised How long has this been going, when will you stop draining it So dam sick, gonna puke all over this place Plans you and I made, I'm still on the same page For some reason you just wanna let it all go Not even looking on what's changed, give me the facts then Every time the honest truth comes out, you decide to run away **** it okay. **** it okay Surely you've showed me you haven't changed Okay okay. Time will tell but you know I won't forget Think it over, was it really worth taking it all this way? Money we both spending yet not for what we were discussing Aren't you a shamed? I know I am and I don't have to hide it from them You already knew what the vision was, we all make mistakes You have been forgiven, yet you still fronting Don't you remember, of course you don't your just complaining Now that I made it, rose about it everyday Don't you go and tell me I ain't changed Was I supposed to just Was I supposed to just let you consume me Nah that's why you hating, nothing left for your finger hate Put it all on your plate, mines clean now I'm too full My heart is finally stitched hole, you were so close But I will never lose myself, gotta let you know Your efforts could have been used to build a new road Even in the drivers seat you can't compromise Anything else you want to make more difficult Maybe you should have let me utilize After I left you to decide **** it okay **** it okay Now you and I both know, so much work to keep this going 6 months on wait, only to watch you try to take what is mine Figure your own self out cuz I ain't got the time Its her and I now, Yes you heard it, it's her and I now No matter what you do she knows what I'm all about You keep trying but your hitting walls, why bother anymore What happened to all your love, your getting colder But it ain't gonna rub on me, less in my life pulling me down Just throw on my winter coat, zip it up to the neck Keeping you out, cashing in my cheques When this is all over, you will be in your rags Your on the verge of making yourself a chapter in my book Flipping pages back to the unknown, I'm burning this flow Its coming from inside, I know your feeling my words You tell me should I let it burn You tell me should I let it burn Your in control but you can't even come around All that talk from before, ended up being a joke All your lies now they are getting close What will you do then, everyone will see the truth Oh oh I'm driving home. Enjoy dealing with what you've planned Took me a min but now I understand. Oh oh I'm driving home. You could have taken my hand.

I'm just as simple as I can see myself being, People complicating my intuition, Disregarding my suggestions, Like I ain't nothing to consider, But I know they looking back now, Making sure I don't move up to the front row, I ain't even worried though, Got a focused plan I been working on, Oh don't tell me, don't tell me, Don't tell me! You didn't know, I'm the one changing on the low, Of course there coming after me, I'm the one aiming for a goal, They cant even recognize there own, Gotta come around and try taking, What I've planted to grow, I just keep on the move to make it home, Keep going on, keep moving strong, Ain't worried about nothing at all. Each step I've taken to this day, Its all been mutually plan my way, Never let the route get distorted, Got that 20 20 vision, Good luck giving that a go, Better off visiting your ophthalmologist, Cause I'll just tell you adiós, Heads up to the ones building there own, Scratch the rest off the list, Right out my soul, Ain't never done anyone wrong, Probably why your ahead and I'm too slow, Probably while you get left, And I still bring it home. Always been me to keep everything real, Always be straight with it and unique, Watch me do it better any day of the week, Love putting actions into what I'm all about. Escape me now run for your life, While I'm around I'll stomp you on the ground. People talking about what they got, Others talking about what they bought, Just as a warning, I don't care about any of that. Ambition running thru my veins, You wish you could be this good, My heart is soft but my mind is not, If your thinking you can walk over it, Better turn around or I'll break you on the spot, Now I'm sounding cold hearted, But I told you my heart is much more. Ain't got the time this I know, Looking forward to catch the sun, Staying away from all these ghosts, That are trying to creep me off this track, I don't even see them anymore. All I see is me, A family man I plan on being, Along with the success of the business, That I've been putting on each day of the week, You won't ever stop me, Momma raised me to not give up, Drain me of my blood, I'll find a way to keep moving on, Drain me of my thoughts, I'll give you a piece of my mind, Drain me of my love, I'll always love more. Finally figured it all out, Never needed y'all Just needed to understand who I am, That's most important than all.
