When I Tell You
Real Love's Cold Embrace
Lyrics
I keep my eyes closed, let these tears run down my face
I'm keeping my eyes shut while tears flow down my face.
I got pain I let it go, I watched my demons run away
I acknowledge my pain and let it dissipate, seeing my inner struggles retreat.
If I told you that I love you, you should know it's real
If I express love for you, understand it's genuine.
'Cause I don't tell no one I love them, love'll get you killed
I refrain from admitting love to avoid the risks associated; it's dangerous.
Put so much love into to many, cross out how I feel
I invested love in too many, so I'm suppressing emotions.
Swear my heart cold like Minnesota, been trying to shake the chills
My heart feels frozen and distant, attempting to overcome this emotional state.
I'm just being real
I'm expressing authenticity and honesty.
I stood ten toes through all my Ls, can't stop I need a mill
I've endured and persevered despite numerous losses; I strive for financial success.
I'd die before I fail, regardless got to keep a steel
I'd rather die than face failure; hence, I'm carrying a weapon.
I been on a long road, why you turn my heart cold
I've been on a challenging journey, leading to my heart becoming cold.
Shit I can't breathe, I can't breathe
I feel suffocated, unable to breathe.
Late nights sipping, trying to numb the pain inside of me
In the late hours, I drink to numb the pain within.
I've been tripping off my ass, you done took all my energy
I've been deeply affected and drained by my mistakes.
I've been sitting in the dark, I need someone to pray with me
Alone in darkness, seeking someone to join me in prayer.
I got demons trying to stop me, but my brothers'll spray for me
I face opposition from my inner demons, yet my friends support me.
Thought I'm balling like LeBron, shit I've been trying to duck the heat
Though I appear successful, I'm evading troubles.
Groupie bitches in the telly, I can't get 'em 'way from me
Struggling to avoid unwanted attention and associations.
Late nights tripping, ADHD, trying to fight the drugs that I take
In the late hours, I grapple with ADHD and the drugs I take.
Girl you caught me slipping, I feel for your love by mistake
I fell for your love unintentionally, caught off guard.
Thought you was the Bonnie to my Clyde, you stole my heart and run away
Believing you were my loyal partner, but you broke my heart and left.
I keep that .30, I can't let no nigga take my life away
I carry a firearm to protect myself from potential threats.
Sweaty palm, deep wound, but I'm alright
Despite wounds and stress, I try to convince myself that I'm fine.
And you can't save the fake for being real, that shit a lie
You can't mistake falsehoods for authenticity; it's deceitful.
I see he flexing on the gram, in real life that nigga dead inside
People may flaunt on social media, but their reality is empty.
Seen dead bodies, traumatized
I've witnessed death, causing deep emotional scars.
I lost too many, I can't even cry
I've experienced so much loss that I can't even express my sorrow.
I keep my eyes closed, let these tears run down my face

(Repeated line from #5)
Swear my heart cold like Minnesota, been trying to shake the chills
(Repeated line from #6)
I'm just being real
(Repeated line from #7)
I stood ten toes through all my Ls, can't stop I need a mill
(Repeated line from #8)
I'd die before I fail, regardless got to keep a steel
(Repeated line from #9)
You got to keep a steel
(Repeated line from #10)
They want to take my life away
There are threats to my life from others.
But my heart so cold
My emotions are distant and cold.
