Your Benefit

Once there was a man, he said
I need to quit, quit
Playing myself, quit
Being there for anyone but myself
He told me
See my eyes are open
Ain't no way I close em
Told em not to hold on
To the things
They're used to I do
The people I thought I knew
I didn't change, I grew
Y'all better get used to
The new

New phase, long days, hard work
Live less and more at the same time
He said
It's a first, a first, a first
Time is all mine

Did you love me for the things I did?
Did you manage loving me beyond your benefit eh
Are you sad, cause I gotta go
Are you happy, cause my dreams are being followed
Did you love me for the things I did?
Did you love me for the things I did?
Did you manage loving me beyond your benefit eh
Are you sad, cause I gotta go
Are you happy, cause my dreams are being followed

So he continues his story
Gotta be doing more for me
Everyday working on my goals
Thriving on every success that I postponed
Counted the people that really got me
Got plenty on my hand, no need for feet
Lost one in the process, ain't got no sleep
It's true, what they say, it's lonely at the top

But I don't drop, I only elevate, I do not hesitate
No more, no longer, I'm stronger
I told them, you can ask, please, don't bother
He said, I'm ready to do me

Did you love me for the things I did?
Did you manage loving me beyond your benefit eh
Are you sad, cause I gotta go
Are you happy, cause my dreams are being followed
Did you love me for the things I did?
Did you love me for the things I did?
Did you manage loving me beyond your benefit eh
Are you sad, cause I gotta go
Are you happy, cause my dreams are being followed
