lyrics

There's no mistake
We can say I've changed
There's no doubt about it
I got sick of the same bullshit surrounding my name
Since the 25th year spent on this planet
The criticism, past judgments
Saying I ain't constant anymore when I'm playing my game
Close friends and family who always waited for me
To make things happen for them need to talk about me
Like something wrong with me
The way I need to be
It ain't the same with P
And on and on you see
I work too hard to let those I help
Discard my efforts and scar myself forever
Don't even ask for respect
Ask for people to stop and think
What this life could have been
I'm not responsible for today's lack of connection
My behaviour's the result of years of frustration

We share the same goal, the same dream
Nothing can come between us
Keeping this thing alive requires no special effort
You just know it
And you know what?
There's no room for second thoughts
I'll forever play my part (x2)

I woke up one day and realized that it was time
For me to move on with my life and leave the past behind
Along with the past
Had to leave some people too
Cause our relationship was somewhere far from equal
It's not that when I give
I wait for something in return
But when you give and only give
Sometimes it feels kinda awkward
In other words yo
Do you bring anything at all to the table
Or do you only feed yourself taking the crumbs too
I know it's hard for you to hear it like this
But goddamn it you're now at the bottom of my list
Because of this sometimes I don't answer my fucking phone
You sneaky motherfucker private caller won't get me on
I care about my friends
And I can count 'em on my one hand
Too bad there was a time I thought I had to use both
Now I just don't know
By the way don't wanna bother you with my chorus
But in a way you should feel concerned

We share the same goal, the same dream
Nothing can come between us
Keeping this thing alive requires no special effort
You just know it
And you know what?
There's no room for second thoughts
I'll forever play my part (x2)

I been nice through time, too nice
So from now on
If you don't participate in the creation of new shit
You can't say you're a Good Samaritan
You're a friend or someone we know
Interesting how people can come close
Knowing they know this boat can blow up and go off shore
Anytime, every line that we find
Gives a chance to anyone and the ones who can rhyme
So make your luck and get involved
Or simply shut the fuck up if you don't got heart

We share the same goal, the same dream
Nothing can come between us
Keeping this thing alive requires no special effort
You just know it
And you know what?
There's no room for second thoughts
I'll forever play my part (x4)
