Gave It Up
How they got me out here tryna play their game Of courting pain, then chasing after Novocain Wanted freedom, they just sold us golden chains Was drowning, now my focus floating, bro, I overcame (Like, like) Like, in my lifetime It don't add up just to roll the dice, I'm Dodging snake eyes, I'm in they sightline And I fall, lawbreaker, but he fight crime I got another shot, no running right back I get tired with baggage on my back But sin's all in my veins, that intravenous flytrap Like in arenas, I clap But it's at me and my king, he don't miss a beat, bro, I tap Tap, tappin', tappin', let me tap out, 'cause I ain't got it My debt can't be paid back with my wallet Was acting out these lines, and I tried But felt relieved when my character, he died, I gave it up Gave it up to get it back Open my hands, it's yours Laid it down, You lift that So we declare You, Lord Lost it to find it Gave it to gain it Gave it up to get it back I get it back Songtexte Could it be that I was chasing after vapors, gassed up? Now I'm thinking I was maybe backwards I realized that I lied to me, now it's looking odd to me Why not just ignore facades when they nod to me? Hold up, did I really mean it when I said that? I would follow hard, now I'm freezing where my legs at Scared to let go, what felt safe was really danger I made a mess though, then went up levels by forsaking Everything in my past, all that graveyard chasing, bro I'm thinking I'll pass, now my grave's all vacant, bro Even though I passed, the way I died to death, now living life Denied myself to visit light, now Trip is like, huh No more cold feet, can't go back to old me I know my soul's beat down, don't wanna OD, huh Give me liberty or just bury me so deep, huh I don't wanna live in soul sleep, so I gave it up Gave it up to get it back Open my hands, it's yours Laid it down, You lift that So we declare You, Lord Lost it to find it Gave it to gain it Gave it up to get it back I get it back Oh, how they try to drag me back Bait me with lies, pull me off track I bid my past adieu, each day I wave goodbye Brand new, my life is you Gave it up to get it back Open my hands, it's yours Laid it down, You lift that So we declare You, Lord Lost it to find it Gave it to gain it Gave it up to get it back I get it back Aus Songtexte Mania
