Текст песни wants&needs - ikewyd

Had a dance with death some times before
I never liked how it knew my name
Spent a long time thinking nothing mattered to me
It never crossed my mind to put you in the frame
Why would I?
Already have enough to hold myself to
I'm at the point where I'm putting my mind in another life, life
Still don't complain cause I know they'll call me ungrateful
Since when was it wrong for us to wonder what it's like
What it's like
(It's a lot of things that I wish I could've told him)
(You'll be good, nigga, keep your head high)
Made the world mine for another step forward
Know it's always been way more than me
There isn't one promise I don't hold close
Just trust I remember, nigga, you gon' see, you gon' see
Nigga, you gon' see
It's a fine line between wants and needs
Sorry if I didn't think you add to my life
It's about what you are and not who you'll be
Heard the same lines, but I really don't (I could never)
Blame you
Very different spaces, you like niggas who enable
And there ain't nobody to shame you
Swimming in the comfort they gave you
Hey, Britney
Wouldn't change a thing when you were with me
I became a student in that short time
Had no other choice with how the energy was shifting
Plenty not to realize in the moment
When there's pride on the line, it get risky
I know that shit too well, things are said to sell
Like an audience is watching our existence
Everybody wanna coexist with tens
No one says it, but it's always been that simple (Facts)
I learned to never let it be that simple (Why?)
Or it'll go left quick, nigga, simple
Pride my self-respect if it's quits, who's next?
More at peace when I'm not dealing with residuals
Deaded that before it ended up habitual
Fair trade to make for the strength to continue
Move on cause
Nigga, you gon' see
It's a fine line between wants and needs
Sorry if I didn't think you add to my life
It's about what you are and not who you'll be
Heard the same lines, but I really don't (I could never)
Blame you
Very different spaces, you like niggas who enable
And there ain't nobody to shame you
Swimming in the comfort they gave you
Never outran a mistake to this day
The result never changed, always stayed a non-factor
Even when fault never fell on the people to blame
Started thinking they might turn to ash first
How could it be? Why always me?
These niggas and bitches live life with no standards
Rage and confusion stepped up for the questions I had
Since everyone prefers not to answer
Burned a few bridges and blocked out some blessings
Swear it wasn't me, but I got the hint after
My gaze wasn't met by the people I'd never betray
And it made my heart rapture
Sin was my captor
Nigga was hitting new lows that no one had seen before
I knew to put that resentment behind me
Couldn't have any messing things up more
Don't wanna tear down the stage that I stand on
I know everything can't be in my hands
Urge to control holds too many for ransom
Your choice to understand
Live and let life run its course
It's never easy to admit when you've lost
But choose it every time, don't run up the cost
(Don't make a choice you'll regret)
I put an end to the end
They've held me up from the start
Hear me out before it's over
Don't let them ruin your heart
