From Pieces
[Verse 1: Uncle TreY]
Sobered up from my last love
Well I'll drink to that
So put your glass up
To the past tense and being past tense
And being past dense, ain't looked back since
Though it's been forever since we were a pair
When reflecting, everything is closer than it might appear
I'm usually one for looking in the rear
Cause although I'm moving forward, hindsight is always clear
Yeah, 20/20, my mistakes were plenty
I'd be rich if for each one, received a penny
Then with that sense, I'd go and make change
To my relations with dimes this last decade
I'd apologize for all the things I said
I'd apologize for all the things I did
I'd apologize for times I know shoulda but did not
While accepting the ones I'll never get or never got
[Bridge: Kleio]
There's been a lot of lonely nights
Starry eyed
She came to me the silent type
Robbed me blind
I'm picking up and leaving
Believe me
[Kleio & TreY]
I'm building masterpieces from pieces
I'm building masterpieces from pieces
[Verse 2: Uncle TreY]
I'm familiar with the terms, bitter and insecure
The irony it's used when I've been hurt or most sure
Forever being called irrational for tryna forewarn
And that's fine with me, call me anything but wrong
I was down without a job, she only had one
Be my therapy and there for me, she chose to make fun
She coulda been a better friend in my pop's death
But instead said she left that job to my ex
Who showed up to the funeral, booze on her breath
And she cheated but thanks for coming I guess
My paranoia and temper, got me labeled me as a crazy
If I own that I am, will they own that they made me?
I mean I'm fine placed in that category
I guess people need antagonists to write their story
But there's nothin' to regret, I call em all lessons
Cause holding onto grudges leaves no hands free for blessings
[Chorus]
[Bridge: Kleio]
Clarity, won't you come sit right next to me?
I can take a shot of that
Pour it up
Drink it in
Make it two and I'll throw em right back
Make it two and I'll throw em right back
[Verse 3: Uncle TreY]
Sick of being taken for a ride around
Gotta be more careful in who I allow
To roll with this rider
Cause I'm gettin' tired now
But my eyes wider now
When I look and see where they be
Javi got a baby now, wow
At first, I thought I woulda hurled
But nah, nothin' but blessings to her and her baby-girl
Cause I promise there's no malice, even if they push T
I just need me a Teyana to do good by me
No more, tryin's what I would recommend
Solo flying till I'm over resent
So slow to trusting, I don't need new friends
No old flames, we ain't making amends
So cold's the feeling when I'm dealing with them
Although, nothing's ever set in cement
So, so, take another chance? It depends
I don't know, don't wanna have to do this again
[Chorus]
