Lyrics: Elsie Laureen-Nicole Swann
Music: Nick Gruttadauria
What make you feel love
You gotta love you 'fore you think of me.
I pray you find peace.
I hope one day that you see.
Peace
Finding the words seem so hard to do.
Ain't no discussion all you wanna do is argue.
I'm transparent tryna make it clear as possible
And you?
Just wanna split hairs to follicles
Ya happiness I'm not responsible that's all you.
I gotta handle mine too
That's what we here to do.
Self determination
Can't build a nation when you too busy blaming
Like I'm sayin shit to hurt you, I'm interested in your virtue.
We got shit to work thru on a personal
Egos bruised
I ain't dealin wit potential
The worth v.s. value
Ain't what you say its how you move.
And how you do one thing is how you do em all
If I can't trust your guidance then I gotta withdraw
I gotta be gone there's gotta be more than empty promises
And me taking you back like before.
Nah.
What make you feel love, could ever feel like anything but bein free?
You gotta love you 'fore you think of me.
You can't understand that then I gotta leave.
I pray you find peace. I pray you find peace. I hope one day that you see.
Peace
Ill play the bad guy.
I broke your heart because I didn't want to compromise
My growth and elevation take more than to fantasize.
This work ain't pretty there's so much of me I put aside.
To make somebody else the thing that I prioritize
Make no mistake there's no escape when hate's internalized
Be out here lying to yourself
Lookin for love like everywhere to no avail.
Thinkin it was but then it wasn't now its stale
Try to explain but to a hammer everything's a nail
To head the lesson mean we never fail
Wit all the bumps I start to feel like Braille
These babies gotta know that you can take the time to heal
And still feel
Bring to the table something real
This ain't no fairy tale, kill or be killed and that's the meal
You can stay front in but you'll end up with nothin and that's the deal
But I would rather tip the scales
What make you feel love, could ever feel like anything but bein free?
You gotta love you 'fore you think of me.
You can't understand that then I gotta leave.
I pray you find peace. I pray you find peace. I hope one day that you see.
Peace
