Walk Away Lyrics

Yeah, this the one I had in mind for the intro

Or reintroduction at this point

Sometimes the anthology

Welcome

I told myself I'd only do this under one condition

Made a promise to be 100% honest from this moment going forward

If I jump back into rapping just to get up on here capping, fabricating

Well then what's the point

I think I tried to mimic every flow they ever made

If you pull the files for every track I ever laid

You'll hear hints of Nas, Hov, back in seventh grade

50 on Many Men, Eminem on Renegade, Gucci Mane on Lemonade

From 2010 to let's say 2014, everyone was trying to serenade, including me

I could do them to a T but didn't reach my final form until I finally started doing me

Is it too late? I mean my knees and back already ache

Or can a young man miraculously catch a break

Okay, if I was chasing fame, maybe I would be ashamed

But if you're following your passion it's never too late

Remember, time is man-made

We decide what to do with it

Only thing we don't decide is when we're through with it

20,000 hours I spent mastering the craft did the math, made about 250K

Not too bad, but when you put it in perspective, what you have

Is an average of around $10 a day

Only a fool would ever think I'm in this for the pay

When you in love, the hardest thing to do is walk away

I tried my best to give this up

I tried my best to turn and walk away

Convinced myself that maybe music, it just ain't for me

Then this hook came to me

I tried my best to give this up

I tried my best to turn and walk away

Convinced myself that this relationship ain't meant to be

But you keep texting me, huh

It was a simple, hey stranger

Seemed pretty innocent

From time to time, we would check on each other

Old friends, okay, maybe more than friends, but agreed to stay friends

You know, mutual respect for each other

Flew way across the country after we were done

Took a job in San Francisco, said she needed sun

Two bed, two bath, it's been a year and a half

Always extending invitations for me to come

Now in the past, I would pass, keep the skies clear

Cause if we're trying to make this work, well here's an idea

We could've fucking did that in the first place

Instead, you said you wasn't ready and you needed time

So I pretended to respect it

Trying to keep my heart protected, acting like I was completely fine

I guess you didn't have a clue on what I had in mind

Huge engagement party plans, hard for me to hide

Your friends knew, your mom too, they were all excited

Your step-cousins, step-cousins, they were all invited

30 days until the day is when you went and dropped the bomb

Every kiss begins with K, refund begins with R

Now I'm looking at my phone, thinking of replies

Do I tell her that I miss her or ignore her due to pride

The sucker in me hit her back like can we talk today

When you in love, the hardest thing to do is walk away
