[verse 1]
Yeah, can i be honest with you? i see the larger issue
Now i can feel my heart beating as i start to miss you
I miss the days when i could do this in like infinite ways
But now the clock is ticking on me just to start to get paid
I wish i could start over, my heart is growing colder
I feel myself just losing passion as i'm growing older
But that ain't true, 'cause at the same time, i'm here just to talk to you
Treat my life like a jump shot, hold the follow-through
Just get this, no, i don't know no difference
I'll always go the distance
I can't imagine what it's like to just not be persistent, 'cause that's the way i was raised up
I don't know anybody doing this where i came from
I weaved all in and out of labels that they put on me
They said that i couldn't leave, feeling like i couldn't breathe
It's getting late, but i just need to write this letter
To the music that inspired me to make myself better
[chorus]
Every reason to leave it behind
But yet i'm coming right back
But yet i'm coming right back to you, oh, yeah
[verse 2]
Yeah, maybe i'm narcissistic, or am i just a misfit?
I never liked to take sides, but i'm partialistic
But now these people got me riled up to run up in the battle
And they claim that i'm the best that's ever came out of seattle
It's in my dna, but they don't wanna see the wave
I be riding verses like it's drills, now i feel the wave
I'm just escaping from the mess that i was making in my old life
Aiming for the spot that i be taking
I'm riding verses trying to change life
But the funny thing is, to go do that, the first, i gotta change mine
Never let them go suppress your opinion
And don't you ever take advice when they just don't seem to listen
They're way too ignorant, sorry, i need to vent
But this is not the way i thought that i would represent
I keep on coming back to you when they be saying that you're bad for me
Day that i retire from the music is a tragedy
[chorus]
Every reason to leave it behind
But yet i'm coming right back
But yet i'm coming right back to you
You're giving me every reason to leave it behind
But yet i'm coming right back
But yet i'm coming right back to you, oh, yeah
