Complicated

(album: XIV:LIX - 2014)

[Hollis:]
Who could blame you
I've made it so complicated
If I could change you
Cause working it out is overrated

Why are you so blind to see that
Truth and love
They could overcome

Why are you so blind to see that
Truth and love
They could overcome
Truth and love
They could overcome
Working it out is overrated

Where should I start
No fiction, these are all facts
Let's take it back to when we first cross paths
I was 13 you was 20 something
Deep in the game
Me...I didn't know nothing!
Took me under your wings, just a kid
No wonder why I worshipped everything you did
Pops said you was bad news
That's cool
Parents just don't understand
Sad but that's true
It's like I didn't have a choice
Cause without you, I wouldn't have a voice
You literally put the mic in my hand
Got on my grind overtime
We formulated a plan
World domination, that was the goal
2 decades later watch the story unfold
Now it feels like we've finally made it
But when did our relationship become so complicated

[Hollis:]
Who could blame you
I've made it so complicated
If I could change you
Cause working it out is overrated

Why are you so blind to see that
Truth and love
They could overcome

Why are you so blind to see that
Truth and love
They could overcome
Truth and love
They could overcome
Working it out is overrated

They say you've changed you ain't the same
Now you're all about the money, ain't that a shame?
That's just the half of it
All these accusations are they accurate?
Skip substance, you said just put some swag in it
Never knew what you would do to us
If you've changed, I guess that makes two of us
Grew up as a misguided youth
All you fed me were lies disguised as the truth
Views so distorted, now I see it all clearly
On two different paths, still I love you so dearly
Uh huh
Our past is undeniable
At one point I was ready to die for you
Mixed emotions running through my head
Couldn't even sleep when they said that you were dead
False alarm, reports exaggerated
I'm glad you made it through but man it's complicated

[Hollis:]
Who could blame you
I've made it so complicated
If I could change you
Cause working it out is overrated

Why are you so blind to see that
Truth and love
They could overcome

Why are you so blind to see that
Truth and love
They could overcome
Truth and love
They could overcome
Working it out is overrated

[Hollis:]
Last few years of my life I've thought about
What I'm taking and what I'm giving
Searching through all the pieces of myself
It all happened in 15 minutes
I took some time and I'm not sure about
What you're thinking and what you're saying
All I'm trying to do is be myself
Figure it out, it's complicated
It's complicated
It's complicated

Why are you so blind to see?
