Tough Love - Aja, Gess

I don’t really wanna know

If it’s true you reap what you sow

Full capacity, I’m 'bout to blow

And I gotta do this on my own

I can’t be what you want me to be

You still see what you want to see

So I scream

Head as hard as iron, stubborn, and I’m not desired

My rage set all my enemies' heads on fire

Can’t hit the bricks, I’m burnin' rubber on them tires

If I said I’m okay, then I’d be a liar

No smile, I’m not expressionate, big attitude, I’m checkin' it

This lifetime is indefinite, so I’m no impressionist

You can’t hold my hand, nah (Bitch), I’m not affectionate

I’ve been burned before, that’s why my love is deficit

I’ve been tryna forge this, I can not afford this

Every single scream, I mean, how can you ignore this?

Your view distorted, I should be awarded

For that to happened, I’d need to be supported

I don’t really wanna know

If it’s true you reap what you sow

Full capacity, I’m 'bout to blow

And I gotta do this on my own

I can’t be what you want me to be

You still see what you want to see

So I scream

Close my eyes and see

I feel that vulnerability

Phobic of the feelings I hide

Like the thoughts of me killin' me

Time stick and I can’t even think

Thought I could float, I’m startin' to sink

Had no sleep, I ain’t even blink

Just my shadow and me in the ring

I thought this was my catalyst

From the looks of the analysis

I’m stunned from the paralysis

Of the world bein' too damn adamant

«You should be this, you should be that» Uh

«You known for this, you can’t be Black» Ooh

«You was right, we ain’t see that» What?

I almost died, you ain’t see that?

Uh

Who I gotta be to win this?

Ooh

So many miles, I’m winded, yeah

But the game still won’t end yet, yeah

I’ma put «crown» on my checklist, uh

I’ma fuck it up, I’m reckless, yeah

So sick, my flow infectious

I don’t need to give 'em smoke

To leave these niggas breathless, uh

I don’t want no tough love, if it really ain’t love

I don’t want no words like daggers in disguise

Nothing you say can stop my rise

Funny how I don’t ask, bitches still got feedback

Rose from the ashes, loved by the masses

Now I’m a diamond built from the pressure, yeah

I don’t really wanna know

If it’s true you reap what you sow

Full capacity, I’m 'bout to blow

And I gotta do this on my own

I’m so alone
