[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
