Текст песни Token of My Affection - Nems

Yo
You'd think after all these years of
Being clean I'd get my feelings back
Right? So why it don't feel like that
It's like God built my heart with a shield attached
Shawty always wanna argue, I can't deal with that
So instead of facing my problems, I walk away
And I leave the relationship in an awkward way
I used to talk about rape like it was funny
And then they raped the woman that was close to me
Now I listen to those tracks and I can't believe
That a younger me could lack such compassion and empathy
And I would probably give a kidney
Just for my female fans they could forgive me
The younger me would probably think I was soft
But I look back at them days and I know I was lost, uh
Living life without a care in the world
So, how could I ever care 'bout a girl?
When I couldn't even care for myself
Tryna numb the pain, taking every drug on the shelf
How could you forgive me when I can't forgive myself? Uh
Thank you for your patience
All these years clean and I'm still isolating
I'm sorry I kept you waiting
Shit, fuck, run that back, uh
This a token of my affection
Wrote these thoughts down on this paper while you were resting
As you get older, your life takes a direction
When it comes to my love, know there's never a question, uh
This is a token of my affection
When you staring in the mirror, don't recognize your reflection
Just know you gonna be great like you always been destined
Keep me by your side you'll never need no protection
A little girl is waking up this morning going
To her stepfather that touched her last night
And she gotta smile in front of her mother, sister and her brother
Just like everything is alright when it's not
Baby girl, I wish I was there to make you feel special
I wish I was there to make him respect you
But overall I wish I could jump to that kitchen table
Sit right next to you and protect you
Just know half of the kids at school are going through the same thing
And it's not your fault, so you can blame him
He's gonna get whats coming to him
'Cause karma catches up with everyone and it knows what he's doing
How could you selfishly ruin a life and diminish it?
There's nothing more precious than a child's innocence
All the issues that stem from mental imprisonment
How could you stand yourself and live with it?
I promise you, if I ever catch him I'm a motherfuckin' finish him
Come here, nigga
No, no, I promise, no, I prom— I promise!
This is a token of my affection
Keep me by your side you'll never need no protection
I'm here to make right what is destined
I love you
