Someone once told me
That truth without compassion is brutality
So I'm gonna try to be as honest as I can
With compassion...
F*cked up (F*cked up)
I'm talking mad years in the past
Real bad (Real bad)
Way back there in the past
Learned from it (Learned from it)
Next 8 years I ain't crash
Never told my friends
But I've cried tears in the past
Almost daily
Starting to take a toll on my health
Heartbreaking (Heartbreaking)
Had nerve broken downs myself
Back before I was a dad
26 Year old me did dumb shit
So ashamed of it
Spent the next 8 years running from it
I admit I lost my way
I was on some real lost hope shit
That was where I was back then
Now I'm tryin not to lose my focus
I'm focused on you and us
I won't let this ruin us
I need that u in us
It's not just the two of us no more
Let's not bring Mali into it
Let's not bring Mya into it
Just know I did learn from it
No next time I won't do it
And if sorry's what you need
Than sorry's what I'll be
Cause sorry's what I been
Since at least
Back then
I get depressed just reflecting back
I don't want a hall pass
I need that let the depression pass
Never meant to let you down
Never meant to cause you pain
Always meant to hold you up
Not put out your flame
Still want the two of us
I still need that u in us
Decided to bury that mistake
Cause I knew for certain it'd ruin us
I'm sorry
So sorry
I can't
Tell you
How much
Please
Let it go
