Breaking the Habit:
Memories consume like opening the wounds,
I'm taking me apart again.
You all assume, I'm safe here in my room,
Unless I try to start again.
I don't want to be the one who battles always choose,
Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused.
I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream...
I don't know why I instigate, and say what I don't mean...
I don't know how I got this way, I know it's not alright...
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit tonight.
Clutching my cure, I tightly lock the door,
I try to catch my breath again.
I hurt much more than any time before,
I have no options left again.
I don't want to be the one who battles always choose,
Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused.
I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream...
I don't know why I instigate, and say what I don't mean...
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright...
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit tonight.
I paint it on the walls,
Cause I'm the one that falls,
I'll never fight again,
and this is how it ends...
I don't know what's worth fighting for, or why I have to scream...
But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean...
I don't know how I got this way, I'll never be alright...
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit tonight.
Numb Encore:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waitin for
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, nigga make some noise
Get em Jay
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
Can't none of y'all mirror me back
Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime
I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I'm in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you Young, what the fuck you expect? Yep, yep
Grand openin, grand closin
God damn your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him
with cheap imitations for THESE GENERATIONS
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waitin for
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, nigga make some noise
What the hell are you waiting for
Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years (yea)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh'fucker if you want this encore
I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb
Can I get an encore, do you want more (more...)
I've become so numb
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
One last time I need y'all to road
In the End:
It starts with onIte thing/ I don´t know why
It doesn´t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind/ I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
The time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
(It´s so unreal)
You didn´t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on/ to didn´t even know
I wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried/
It all fell apart
What it meant to me/ will eventually/ be a memory/
of a time when
I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
One thing/ I don´t know why
It doesn´t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind/ I designed this rhyme
to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me/
I´m surprised
It got so (far)
Things aren´t the way the were before
You wouldn´t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried/ It all fell apart/ what it meant to me/ will eventually/ be a memory/of a time when
I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I've put my trust in you
pushed as far as I can go
and for all this
there's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
pushed as far as I can go
and for all this
there's only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn't even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn't even matter |
