Yrbk - Complicated Lyrics

How can I rap this without them getting concerned?
How come we have to push the envelope in order you to learn?
Why do we have to speak a word before we try to listen?
How come if something doesn't go our way, we end up distant?
Whatever happened to compromising for the relationship?
Instead of giving up so easily can we put faith in it? cause,
We idolize these 65 year anniversaries
And think that we deserve it when we're taking everything personally
Putting pressure on people based off our lack of patience
I see no harm in being humble and getting back to basics
We want commitment that's microwaved in an instant
And thinking that it'll work when we're just being idealistic
You pick and choose until you think you got it perfect
And then those years go by to realize it wasn't worth it
So can we fix the formula before it's too late?
I'm hoping someone out there listening can f*ckin' relate

I can't stress this enough
This perspective of love
We've got wrong from the jump
It's hard enough to sit back and watch
Everybody lose their mind with these things
I hope it'll change
But I know it's complicated...
I know that it's complicated
So, why not try out something different?
Won't we listen
To something different?
Something different

Why are we falling out of love when we know we shouldn't?
Why do we never make it work when we know we could of?
We sacrifice so much for surface level preferences
Destinies are shattered and disintegrate into deficits
Messages get deleted and pictures go up in flames
So much resentment until you learn to forget their names
When months ago y'all would of done anything to stick together
Having the nerve to promise a person your love forever
You don't know how much they mean it or what they really would of done for you
If y'all had a lot of issues and they didn't f*ckin' run from you
Then why did you dip? what if they're really not that crazy
What if they're just committed to never settling for maybe?
Half the time that's the case and you miss out on something special
And I understand that people grow and learn at different levels
But, people, the grass on the other side is usually turf
So think about it for a sec before too many of us get hurt
I'm not trying preach a gospel that I think is correct
I just think that when it comes to love we're lacking respect
I'm no expert on this shit but I've seen what works and what doesn't
Love is more than just a compatible person that you're f*ckin'
It's nothing that you can learn through our culture or the internet
You gotta feel it in you without anything that interjects
Real love doesn't happen when shit is smooth
Real love will be tested when you've got everything to lose
It's sad that it's for the few when everybody deserves it
So can we please stray away from the need it for it to be perfect
Generations behind me got me tensing up and nervous
Passive with purpose, sad when you should be practicing courage
Lower your expectations and focus more on acceptance
Get lost and find your way back naturally without directions
Never be afraid to be alone when you don't want to
It's better to face your demons instead of letting them haunt you
You don't wanna carry that into the next lover that comes
Don't have your cake and eat it too and leave them to pick up your crumbs
Expecting them to be fine while you twiddle your thumbs
No wonder why we keep developing a tendency to run
One slip and it's done instead of being supportive
This "quit while you can" culture is desolate and distorted
Self inflicted cause your stuck in confusion
You hop on to the next thing because it's comfy to have amusement
You love it then you lose it
You damn near kill yourself and them
And you don't got the frame of mind to realize that you're abusive
I spit the truth and catch the flack cause I'm putting it in the music
It feels so pointless but I know it's worth the patience
Cutting the chord on anything agitating the cadence
This peace is what I play with, not those emotions you're dragging
I pay little mind to your words and more attention on your actions
If you don't have the faith in me, then say less I'm gone
The only way you'll know is if I write it in a song
I'm protective of my heart and I'll be dammed if it gets cheated
If it's not tried and true then there's no chance I'll ever need it
If I have to be single until I know that it's right
Then I'll proudly lay up dolo in my bedroom every night
I'll feed myself the love that I deserve to have in life
Until another compliments that I'm not putting up a fight for real
