Recuperate

(album: Breaking Heartbreak - 2019)

J West

I just need some time, peace of mind to recuperate
If I keep going back and forth with you, I cannot elevate
Hold you down and keep me grounded, how am I gonna levitate?
Work so hard and satisfy you, tell me baby, where's my break?

Holding me, I still ache, it's what you do and what you say
If I speak up you spazz on me, don't give a fuck you mad at me
You telling me to keep it real, but really I can't be myself
I'd rather try with no one else
And keep myself just how I am
Don't love me, I don't give a damn
I'm not changing who I am
I tried to work on how I am and end up hating on why I did it
What you mean I still don't get it?
It's not the fact that I don't listen
Steady pulling every trigger, guess my hurt is ammunition
That's why you don't care to fix it
That's why you won't make a difference
That's why lately you been switching energy off all them bitches
Roll with me like you roll swishers
Have my back like all yo niggas
This the shit that make me iffy
I'm gon' need like 5 more minutes

I just need some time, peace of mind to recuperate
If I keep going back and forth with you, I cannot elevate
Hold you down and keep me grounded, how am I gonna levitate?
Work so hard and satisfy you, tell me baby, where's my break?

Leave you now and love you later, I'm not liking your behaviour
Love me first, hate me forever, how did we become so separate?
I'm the one that kept it real, loyalty and devil's deals
Playing cards you handed in, this is how I play myself
Still was right when you went and left
Now everything's been twisted since
Trading love with common sense, it ain't too late for me to deal
Not Ella Mai, so I'm gon' trip, don't tie me up with competition
I'm gon' leave then I'll start winning
You gon' lose with all your demons

I just need some time, peace of mind to recuperate
If I keep going back and forth with you, I cannot elevate
Hold you down and keep me grounded, how am I gonna levitate?
Work so hard and satisfy you, tell me baby, where's my break?
