We had a romance now it's over
Worked the hardest got burned
Treated wrong did nothing but right
Tried harder than most went all out
Did everything possible to make it better
Looked at with hate feeling regret
Angered because the loss of self respect
Told the truth got nothing but lies
Moving forward no turning back
All the betrayal left with broken trust
Silence with an emotionless start
Feelings are numb no longer phased
The good times fade away all the pain
Lingering bad intentions trying to escape
Damage is done no longer fun lost virtue
Can't make it right love yourself again
Time to find another way start over new

Fire in the belly ready to burn through
Not going back or staying down
Rising up let go of the past
Going forward head up going strong
Avoiding another downwards spiral
Toxic people not the place anymore
Meant for better loose from anguish
Shame on this face disgust seeping out
Wrestling pain bad memories remain
Taking back control trying to live
Dealing with the unknown surviving
A life outside this building
Change the situation save yourself

Jab with lead had and reset
Power hand thrown and reset
Shift to the left out of the pipe
Shift to the right step throw a jab
Recoil and unload the hook
Weight shift to distribute power
Lower level explode up
Throw the the uppercut
So much to work on
Technique is keep to improving
Foot placement forward back
L step cause separation
Holding pads drilling through
Repetition going through the motions

Lost in the music being creative
Playing the bass making fussion
Jamming stay on key energy
Feeling the vibe soul is alive
Connecting with the other person
Sress melts away from within
Trying to stay on beat key note
Keep the count on time
Sounds vibrate the strings
Echo through the speaker
Hit the notes be precise
Stay on tempo consistently

Went backwards took a few L's
Did the work came up short
People trying to change the rules
Can't waste anymore time
Getting older trying to hang
Stay modern while everything fades away
It was your times it's changing
Constant changes hard to keep up
Things that made sense hold no value
No value is given more credit
Old rules are replaced with new
One best friend not many loss loyalty
Cheating is accepted the new norm
While right is overlooked excluded
Left in the void standing against wrong
Perks of a relationship no commitment
Lust is the new love broken trust
Honesty is rejected for ongoing lies

Always trying my to blend in
But end up standing out
Trying to be mindful keep the peace
The silence causes a mouthful
Coming up with new material
Over the internal struggle within
Focused on bettering the situation
Improve with personal growth
A new perspective on life
Stopped feeling into the bad
Focused on what's right
Not wasting time anymore
Taking on the hurt as punishment
Learn the lesson grow into better
Over lowering myself to be accepted
Good vibes on the rise big brown eyes
Focused on doing more making it happen

I respect your title wheres the worth ethic
Don't knock my hard work
You have a title it means nothing
Since you have no respect for the team
Blame last minute communication
Don't bring me down meant for more
Fighting for mine quick to square up
Squash this beef Don't care for drama
Since you chose to settle Gave up
Did the work quick to cut off liars
Turned my back betrayals not welcomed
Not looking ahead living in the moment
Spoke up got ignored its crumbling down
Now smiling in silence rising up
