Limits/Obsession

(album: The Black Blood LP - 2017)

Don't break me
I worked too hard just to build myself back up
Don't break me
I came too far just to let you hold me up
Don't break me
I worked too hard just to build myself back up
Don't break me
I came too far just to let you hold me up

And I did it
I know
I'm past the limit now I'm moving out my resting body
Oh, but in a minute
I'll go
I can't afford to make a stop I rev the engine passing all these other niggas
Woah-oh
We not in a competition I'm just running from the track
You niggas livid
Woah-oh-oh
And that's some shit a nigga owe

I got too much shit that's on my mind
I gotta zone out
I been trying to find a will or way I gotta know now
Lately I been thinking I should quit and take it home now
I'll just let her do it all, maybe I should slow it down

Lost to the sword, that's the way that a young nigga been
Don't break, don't fall, don't move, motherfucker, don't bend
I was thinking about the pain and the game and the way it don't end
I was sitting in the rain now nobody experienced with a pen
I been on the path to enlightenment
Whole-hearted with the way a nigga write this shit
If you don't like this shit it's not for you then
That wasn't all just fuck it, there's no comparison
If you compare me with
I'm not an average Joe
I try to speak from the soul and give you a tangible feel
If only ability ever made a connection that's real
I said it's all from the heart, no animosity here

And I did it
I know
I'm past the limit now I'm moving out my resting body
Oh, but in a minute
I'm gone
I can't afford to make a stop I rev the engine passing all these other niggas
Woah-oh
We not in a competition I'm just running from the track
You niggas livid
Woah-oh-oh
And that's some shit a nigga owe

I been trying to find myself, I can't, I feel alone now
I feel like I'm trapped and I don't have nowhere to go now
I can't seem to find my favorite way, my mind it flows now
Either way I'm moving on, ain't no time to slow it down

Lost for a minute, but I'm back, give it to you with a venge
I asses what I see [?] to beseech you again
I was searching for the meaning of it all, I'm wondering how it ends
I was looking for the way but never found it, self-doubting again
The words cut deep like blades of steel
I feel it in my soul like salt in my wounds
I gotta find a perspective so I can properly judge
Took a look in the mirror, I didn't like what I saw
It's like I'm masking the pain or a nigga wear a facade
Sounds like I'm speaking in tongues like I was talking to God
Let me live in the moment like it was Deja-vu
Call it "c'est la vie"
A gorilla glue
Ha-ha

And I did it
I know
I'm past the limit now I'm moving out my resting body
Oh, but in a minute
I'm gone
I can't afford to make a stop I rev the engine passing all these other niggas
Woah-oh
We not in a competition I'm just running from the track
You niggas livid
Woah-oh-oh

I came too far just to let you hold me up

Light at the end of the tunnel
I don't feel a love with it
Obsession is addictive, baby
Te-e-ell me about it
I don't push it far
Before everything (thing thing thing)
And the time been a [?]
I done lost my family and friends
To this bullshit
My love, my love, my love, my lo-ove

Lost in the dark, but I'm focused on the light at the end of the tunnel
I, must have lost sight right around the same time I lost touch with myself
Desperation stinks and I sense it
I've internalized and my emotions are senseless
In return I've found that I'm actually helpless
Somebody [?] and baby I can't yelp
My hands are tied in this situation
I'm a slave to you
I've catered to you
You kept me high when I was feeling low
You gave me a glimpse about a year ago
But you left quick and I been searching since
My addiction itches, gotta find me a hit

My love, my love, my love, my lo-ove

And I ain't been around the world but I been looking eternally
Turning over a new leaf to relieve stress
Find the meaning of success and redefine that
Any time spent and they're sure to make a comparison
Idolizing these niggas for every wrong reason
My rationale is irrational, rushing to a conclusion
My mind is under assault from the false and the pretenses
Keep it all together, avoid the mental regression
Progression in the realest sense
What you really want from this?
What's the end game in the plan that I can't proceed with
Trying to get a million like I was standing next to [?]
A quick recession and essentially I'm in your region
Trying to find balance, I need it
Lost in the work, motherfucker, not leaving

My love, my love, my love, my lo-ove
Too busy staring at the

Light at the end of the tunnel
I don't feel a love with it
Obsession is addictive, baby
Te-e-ell me about it
I don't push it far
Before everything (thing thing thing)
And the time been a [?]
I done lost my family and friends
To this bullshit

My love, my love, my love, my lo-ove
