My Love - Ekoh, Grieves

They wanna take my love

They wanna break my love

They tryin' to hate my love

So I just fake my love

They wanna take my love

My team, my hopes, my goals

My dreams, my songs, my life

I fold but don’t give up

I won’t ever let go

Yeah, I’m ridin' solo in the whip

You roll too deep, you’ll drown in that shit

And I don’t trust anyone and you ain’t any different

And I don’t really know the type of me that you been picturing

The vision, I killed the ego and make the decision

Livin' with these issues in my head will kill the intuition

A human condition with an alien frame, I’m a Martian

I keep my heart up on my sleeve but it’s more like a target

I’ve fallen victim to a scene that let me stay to harvest

But I didn’t know that they had hidden poison in the garden

I’m just an artist with my view of this world and it’s Hell

I stand above the crowd and hope that they don’t see the stilts

I’m only fake 'cause they don’t pay attention to the real

It’s only what you show on Instagram or what they think you feel

Built the image for the glory and the fame

I just wish the picture told the real story, like Dorian Gray

Yeah, I been waiting to evacuate

Ten thousand hours, like, yeah, wasn’t worth the wait

Hey, it’s only cheesier than showing love

That’s why we talk shit sober and only feel on drugs

I catch your buzz and I’ll be gone 'til 2021

A master of the craft, an escape artist, magician’s son

Yeah, I give 'em sweat and the blood

But that still ain’t enough?

They wanna take my love

They wanna break my love

They tryin' to hate my love

So I just fake my love

They wanna take my love

My team, my hopes, my goals

My dreams, my songs, my life

I fold but don’t give up

I won’t ever let go

I put it on the line back in '07

Yeah, you don’t know the half, not a damn section

I shoveled through the shit and the snow

And the cold, and the little bullet holes filled with abjection

I came up with a code and a gift

The flow added a couple 0's to the drip, then it set off

Vermin tried to gnaw a little bread off

Dealt with both sides of the snake and cut the head off

Yeah, they talk like they did it

They talk like they walked in my shoes and they fit 'em

They logged in and blogged on the flaws of my rhythm

And act as if they could’ve done better but they didn’t

I told my truth, I still got the blood on my boots

And something that I’m falling in love with, abuse

Some just wanna see me succumb to the boos

And the pills, and tell me they always knew

But that’s not love, nah

That’s the flash and the flood

The cause and effect from the downs and the ups

The man in the middle with his hands in the mud

And it’s still not enough?

They wanna take my love

They wanna break my love

They tryin' to hate my love

So I just fake my love

They wanna take my love

My team, my hopes, my goals

My dreams, my songs, my life

I fold but don’t give up

I won’t ever let go
