WalkOnBy

When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it

Yeah, nah, I don't cry
It's sad, but shit happens sometimes
What's harder, finding happiness or family time?
In the loop, it be the beauty with the tragic behind
No one has a clue what we had to do to survive

We brothers, so it's nothing when we argue and fight
It's us, against the world until the world unite
Sometimes, I hear your voice, but ain't no one in sight
When you talk, words cut like a knife
But nah, I don't cry

I can't see 'em falling down my eyes
Everybody got a therapist, I'd rather get high
When they ask me how I'm doing, I feel guilty inside
Nigga's dying, meanwhile, I'm having the time of my life

When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it

You mad I made lucrative ties
You in a bind
I'm not, so you feelin' tight
Exuberant heights, the flight long
I'm too busy fried for you and your plight (I'm high, for real)

Stupid advice I piled on you
Who was frugal and light, spent too many nights booted
Lived too many lives
Removed from the strife
You was in tune with, I rise, I rose

I suppose what you doin' with your nose in the white, ain't nobody business but your own
Whole time I'm livin' by the code
Roll tide, crimson spillin' out of my soul
'Cause a fissure in the mold
Nigga's different, that's just how it go

When you walk on by, you've got shades to hide your eyes
I know you're crying, you was dying
And the pain inside, it got you chasing the same old highs
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it

I feel like ain't nobody caring
Everybody's scared
Is there anybody here?
I feel like everybody's staring
But they don't see me here
Am I really by myself?

I feel like ain't nobody caring
Everybody's scared
Is there anybody here?
I feel like everybody's staring
But they don't see me here
Am I really by myself?

When you walk on by (everybody scaring)
You've got shades to hide your eyes (I feel like everybody's staring)
I know you're crying, you was dying (am I really by myself?)
And the pain inside (everybody scaring)
It got you chasing the same old highs (I feel like everybody's staring)
You couldn't fight it, can't live without it (am I really by myself?)
