Lyrics

Commitment

[Verse 1]

Uh, the blamin' game is super lame, who signs up just to suffer?

My name's my name, your love's cocaine, you sniff it, turn a sucka

Girl your sex is everything, don't mean a thing if you don't trust her

Lift her, drop her, broke her heart

Somewhere along the way, I must've had a karma visit

Life's a blizzard and it's gon' get colder

Rolled a fuckin' ace, consecutively just wantin' to hold ya

Told ya I would make a change, feel like the only one that dig ya

Signal's out of range, I'm losin' you slowly, this shit's a bit hard

To be focused with the wrong interferеnce, no way to live

Can't trust a motherfuckin' soul out hеre, rather just play the crib

I'm havin' memories of trauma, was hard to remain a kid

And you can cut the tension up with a razor blade and I slid

Down an alcohol river, tryna drink 'til I sleep it off

I'm imaginin' new success, as sweet as your weak remorse

Made a promise to shake it all, I will never repeat the loss

'Cause ain't no room for cruel distractions, have you driftin' off the course

[Chorus]

It's time we have a talk about commitment

I thought with that, everything could be different

I'm tryin' to lead you in direction

Thought if I give you some space, things would get better but they didn't

The line between reality, you gotta know the difference

Important that you separate what is from what isn't

There'll never be progress if there ain't no room to listen

One minute is calm, next minute you're trippin'

[Verse 2]

Uh, I'm hopin' to leave enough good stories for you to tell about me

If I didn't go through all of these issues, who the hell would I be?

I miss my OG, I apply all the things that he taught me

This life is costly, they won't even lay you in that box free

I sense the hateful intentions, no need for the track devices

Pulled myself so many times, hard to count up the sacrifices

When the bullshit just don't add up, nobody'll match the prices

Do too much trippin', never really get to know what paradise is

No gain in holdin' pain inside, it's worth it to be realer

The foulest route is homicide that time divides a killer

Don't you ever close your eyes on me, rather sleep on chinchilla

Villa days and night, something ain't right I hate a thriller

Was told I often come off too cold, there you go shiverin'

Had to tell you no for once, guess I'm a piece of shit again

You used to treat me like, "Oh, now we're rememberin'?"

Ain't nothin' worse than the point you gotta pretend your friend

[Chorus]

It's time we have a talk about commitment

I thought with that, everything could be different

I'm tryin' to lead you in direction

Thought if I give you some space, things would get better but they didn't

The line between reality, you gotta know the difference

Important that you separate what is from what isn't

There'll never be progress if there ain't no room to listen

One minute is calm, next minute you're trippin'
