The Love - Intellectual

[Intro: Locksmith]

I mean, everybody's selfish

Nobody believes it but everybody is

[Verse 1: Locksmith]

Wasting these moments, emotions motion my motives and most of it molds my character

Married to my ego, fornicate with hysteria

Starring back like I'm back on the back of my black diamond

Back tints is balling, the spokes racing from sirens

Defining my findings, finally finding my faith contested

Unbeknownst to any ounce of jealousy that was sequestered, detected my own thoughts

Acknowledged my arrogance, look back at my past tweets

Felt this sense of embarrassment

Barring with my girl leaving, been six months but I'm still coping

Still holding onto this front

Punctured it spills open, people stop and chat like nigga your life's in tact

Give a swift pat on the back

Rather conceal than reveal its broken, still promoting this image of true perfection

Soliciting different women, just hoping they using discretion

Bad habits of old and not easily controlled, you know the more you fell depressed

Less likely you are to use protection?

Raw emotions evoking under this comforter

After she wakes up, I know she wants me to comfort her

Coming from being deeply committed for four years to looking at my ex's Instagram page, barely can stomach her

And the girl I'm fucking now is looking at me ashamed

Will I ever take her back? I'm sort of deep in the game

And it's true the possibility be dancing in my mind but when you cross a certain line, you never see them the same

And a part of me has change, I ain't playing like i once did

Reminds me of the time I got a message from this one kid

Who said, "Lock just know that my words are indication

That music that you making is truly an inspiration

You're fueling a generation don't you ever lose sight

No matter how hard it gets you better take time to write

You better take time despite the bullshit that they been feeding us

They do it for attention you do it because you believe in us"

[Hook: Jarell Perry]

Where you go, on the road is never to far from home and you should know

When you given your everything, you get back on your feet again

All on your own, its hard to see what its for but you should know

Through the highs and lows, do it all for the love

Do it all for the love, do it all for the love

[Verse 2: Locksmith]

And lately everything is just a blur and i can't go a week without someone mentioning her

And I can't even speak without someone pinching a nerve, so i try and keep my distance whenever this does occur

And every day proceeding is bleeding one to the next

And now its to the point i don't even look at my texts

And people get upset when you try and tell them direct that you don't have time to chill

And this builds a disconnect and this billed as disrespect

When its nothing more than just truthful

And I can't help the fact I don't look at things like I use to

Blame myself for the isolation is true but when you burnt so many times to survive, what would you do?

'Cause everything ugly has some beauty

Regardless how you view me, I'm still here; the new me
