Complicated Lyrics

How can I rap this without them getting concerned?

How come we have to push the envelope in order you to learn?

Why do we have to speak a word before we try to listen?

How come if something doesn't go our way, we end up distant?

Whatever happened to compromising for the relationship?

Instead of giving up so easily can we put faith in it? cause,

We idolize these 65 year anniversaries

And think that we deserve it when we're taking everything personally

Putting pressure on people based off our lack of patience

I see no harm in being humble and getting back to basics

We want commitment that's microwaved in an instant

And thinking that it'll work when we're just being idealistic

You pick and choose until you think you got it perfect

And then those years go by to realize it wasn't worth it

So can we fix the formula before it's too late?

I'm hoping someone out there listening can fuckin' relate

I can't stress this enough

This perspective of love

We've got wrong from the jump

It's hard enough to sit back and watch

Everybody lose their mind with these things

I hope it'll change

But I know it's complicated...

I know that it's complicated

So, why not try out something different?

Won't we listen

To something different?

Something different

Why are we falling out of love when we know we shouldn't?

Why do we never make it work when we know we could of?

We sacrifice so much for surface level preferences

Destinies are shattered and disintegrate into deficits

Messages get deleted and pictures go up in flames

So much resentment until you learn to forget their names

When months ago y'all would of done anything to stick together

Having the nerve to promise a person your love forever

You don't know how much they mean it or what they really would of done for you

If y'all had a lot of issues and they didn't fuckin' run from you

Then why did you dip? what if they're really not that crazy

What if they're just committed to never settling for maybe?

Half the time that's the case and you miss out on something special

And I understand that people grow and learn at different levels

But, people, the grass on the other side is usually turf

So think about it for a sec before too many of us get hurt

I'm not trying preach a gospel that I think is correct

I just think that when it comes to love we're lacking respect

I'm no expert on this shit but I've seen what works and what doesn't

Love is more than just a compatible person that you're fuckin'

It's nothing that you can learn through our culture or the internet

You gotta feel it in you without anything that interjects

Real love doesn't happen when shit is smooth

Real love will be tested when you've got everything to lose

It's sad that it's for the few when everybody deserves it

So can we please stray away from the need it for it to be perfect

Generations behind me got me tensing up and nervous

Passive with purpose, sad when you should be practicing courage

Lower your expectations and focus more on acceptance

Get lost and find your way back naturally without directions

Never be afraid to be alone when you don't want to

It's better to face your demons instead of letting them haunt you

You don't wanna carry that into the next lover that comes

Don't have your cake and eat it too and leave them to pick up your crumbs

Expecting them to be fine while you twiddle your thumbs

No wonder why we keep developing a tendency to run

One slip and it's done instead of being supportive

This "quit while you can" culture is desolate and distorted

Self inflicted cause your stuck in confusion

You hop on to the next thing because it's comfy to have amusement

You love it then you lose it

You damn near kill yourself and them

And you don't got the frame of mind to realize that you're abusive

I spit the truth and catch the flack cause I'm putting it in the music

It feels so pointless but I know it's worth the patience

Cutting the chord on anything agitating the cadence

This peace is what I play with, not those emotions you're dragging

I pay little mind to your words and more attention on your actions

If you don't have the faith in me, then say less I'm gone

The only way you'll know is if I write it in a song

I'm protective of my heart and I'll be dammed if it gets cheated

If it's not tried and true then there's no chance I'll ever need it

If I have to be single until I know that it's right

Then I'll proudly lay up dolo in my bedroom every night

I'll feed myself the love that I deserve to have in life

Until another compliments that I'm not putting up a fight for real
