[Intro: Jhenè Aiko]

I think that you know, for me, I just sort of write to express myself to get through whatever I'm going through. And I just figure, you know, when I'm going through something, to turn it into art. It's like the best therapy, you know? And so, it's not, you know, it's actually easier for me to talk about the things that are harder to deal with just because I want to release it and I want to transform it into something that can be looked at as positive or something that can be looked at as art. But, it's harder for me to write about when Im happy

[Background: Stract]

Falling for you, I can't keep away

Are you listening? I want you to stay

Before you go I want you to know that

I'd die

Die for you

[Verse 1: Stract]

Yeah

I state my case again

Feeling like I never wanna see your face again

And them other guys, I wanna bust their faces in

Definition of destructive relationship, ugh

The situation is it's been getting difficult to maintain this shit

It's like I need a miracle to escape this shit

I need to disappear and go like a vacation trip

The ship has sailed again

Now I'm off to look for where consideration went

Tripped and fallen too hard and hit the gray cement

When it gets into my head, I go insane and vent

You conversate with friends

It's a shame it's everyone I'm in this race against

I'm fighting every single day to win this game, I can't

Our time is running even lower than my patience is

[Refrain: Stract]

The truth is that I'm breaking, we're moving with no destination

If I could rewind the time, I would find that I'm fine and leave

Behind the fights and face this

The truth is that I'm breaking, we're moving with no destination

If I could rewind the time, I would find that I'm fine and leave

Behind the fights and face this, huh

[Verse 2: Stract]

I hate this

Any minute and I'm gonna go ape shit

Push my limit and I hit it now I'm finished with this scrimmage

I can't live, I need to quit, I can't take it

I'll make the most of it

I'm not the type that makes a scene or ever throws a fit

We can build it back together when explosions hit

But I need you to sit and listen 'til you notice it (notice it)

[Verse 3: Stract]

I gotta ease this pain

I wonder what I feel, somebody please explain

The reason why I'm feeling like we need to change

It's getting kinda difficult to beat this game

Now I feel ashamed

No matter what is done it wouldn't be the same

It's keeping me awake

I cannot get away, I need some breathing space

But we need to make a difference, now we need to make a change

We may be afraid

But we're only getting better, it's the healing phase

We gotta keep this faith

In either case, we gotta take a shot with a strategic aim

When we reshape, we elevate in levels and alleviate

We're living and we're building like it's real estate

We're beginning on the mission toward the real escape

And true love doesn't leave you, if it's real it stays

If it's real it stays (if it's real it stays)

True love doesn't leave you, if it's real it stays
