[Verse 1: Abstract]
I used to say what I wanted to hear
Now I look back and see how I got here
Without the sugar-coated raw emotion coastin' on a hope
It's clear, became the dopest from the coldest place you fear
A drop in my ocean
But that drop became a wave
And that wave became a storm, that storm became my hurricane
Now I'm coursin' through the States
To overseas, they know the name
But ever since that ship failed, I never been the same
All 'cause you chose popularity; I'm popular as fuck
You'll probably say "Get over it," but damn, I hold a grudge
I ain't perfect, not at all
But I was someone you could call
Loyal as loyal gets
In these days I'm not at all
What I used to be
'Cause what I used to be didn't work
Now every girl I'm with now never seems to work
The best way to do it was the way that I got hurt
I know I made mistakes, but hope life showed you what I'm worth

[Bridge: 12 Stones]
Our candle burns away
The ashes full of lies
I gave my soul to you
You cut me from behind
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
You're scared of the truth, I'm tired of the lies
'Cause who I am, is where you wanna be
[Verse 2: Abstract]
I was young, dumb, protective, but I always meant the best
Had a heart a couple sizes maybe too big for my chest
And you, you had the same till that shit became compressed
While mine shrunk within depression, you said, "Hope you learned your lesson"
Lesson that consisted of "fuck communication and attention"
I could make a huge jab, but I'll spare it the mention
All in all, I'm over it
But bein' back brings back some memories
Good to see my friends, but damn, it brings back enemies
Wasn't really treated with respect growin' up
But now I got the voice, so excuse me when I stunt
Used to be so blind but now look back and know what's up
Pretty fucked up that back then weren't many I could trust
It's karma that I'm here
See, it all comes around
'Cause now they say "What's up?" when I roll through town
They used to laugh at my dreams, homie, who laughs now?
And It's only the beginning, wait till I cash out

[Outro: 12 Stones]
You said you were there for me
You wouldn't let me fall
All the times I shared with you
Were you even there at all?
Nowhere to run and no where to hide
You're scared of the truth, I'm tired of the lies
'Cause who I am, is where you wanna be
