Don't You Dare (feat. Julian)

Angel in my eyes You can't fly when wings are broken You must show what goes unspoken Don't you dare tell me I didn't try When I just wanted peace of mind You can't carry them much longer You must know that love is stronger Don't you dare fail to remember who you are Look me in my face and tell me Stop telling me what's for me Don't give me all them stories How can you throw away everything How you gon' ignore me You'll never find another, told your brother Leave you this message when you get home Cus I'm steady trying my luck but it won't be for long I'm singing songs just to get through these walls But I'm having withdrawals And I love you but that's nothing to you You always ran away from it Watch as you and I plummet, from the summit I failed to collect the pieces You used to boast all my features What happened I did all I could to make sure you were good But what happened I've expired in potency What I'd do so you notice me I was fighting family for us Poppa had seen the skin I saw gold that made them support us Yet with going through hell I saw a light when I gazed upon you Nobody could pawn, nobody was on you Nobody could stop us, knock us Off balance, no malice Remember feeling those lips for the second first time You resign when the going gets tough I decline, I was calling yours bluff You're the coldest but a diamond in rough Could've poured you all I've got as if that's enough But darling enough Can you let me in for once Can I finally quit the stunts Or are you hiding something from me Did you find another bitch for you Or think you found the answer When you say I flipped the switch on you We ain't even scratch surface Tomorrow transcended the road they got us riding It's probably karma coming out of hiding I can't accept that it's just you deciding And if you don't look me in my fucking face I swear to God I can't believe you, I never deceived you I can't even read you nigga, fuck you nigga I'm sorry I might just drown just like that shit that you're rapping I might just **** to see what happens I'm not a prisoner of this moment But even though you think it's not written Boy don't you ever question all that I've given My love will last a lifetime Angel in my eyes You can't fly when wings are broken You must show what goes unspoken Don't you dare tell me I didn't try When I just wanted peace of mind You can't carry them much longer You must know that love is stronger Don't you dare fail to remember who you are They're tripping over them wings That you seemed to have grown You seem to have nothing in mind but your own Seems you think you have it all figured But this is far from it You're still the seed from my stomach Although you're acting is seamless The cleanest I've made your quarters Meanest I've made your dishes I mean it's switches, my skeleton's aching for you And for your brothers, your sister follows From every step you're taking But this new road you're treading I don't see your purpose making What you're deeming as your purpose As if you have a calling I can not figure How you figure my accomplishments Your father and I been trying to show you Where the knowledge is Compliments forcing your confidence beyond my lectures I guess it's the time Where you just become your own director But don't even get started with you taking off from classes You'll only regret it after every birthday that passes You'll only remember after who you're loving surpasses I heard who you're loving's a decent woman When you gon' bring 'em so I can assess it, address it You used to test it everyday on me like I could press it But I don't know where you're going these days I hearken back to overseas when you ain't know of these ways I'm going back in time I'm selfish, I felt it I've dealt with more in my life than you can imagine I've shaped your future, forsaken my passion We've taken some lashings, I take it you're thankful I just haven't heard you say in a while You don't know I pray that you don't see your grave in the wild I don't know the last time you told me you love me I need to hear it, you're just like him Damn if you hate comparison I could relate your arrogance Even know journey that's right beside you But who am I kidding You couldn't understand from my shoes Should've have seen it coming to my way From back in high school I'm sure you would own it And even though you think it's not written Boy don't you ever question all that I've given My love will last a lifetime Angel in my eyes You can't fly when wings are broken You must show what goes unspoken Don't you dare tell me I didn't try When I just wanted peace of mind You can't carry them much longer You must know that love is stronger Don't you dare fail to remember who you are I thought I stayed in line applying your value Said to not settle for what they allow you I can never grow out of you, I'm proud of you And I am only better by way of you And if I leave, I'll only take a day or two It's recognizable The margin's sizable But I haven't been adequate Inhaling all I can to remind who I had it with The right lines that I'd say to my lifeline But know it's reciprocated, you'll last a lifetime You'll last a lifetime
