Courage

[Verse 1]

We're having a sword fight on a Friday night

Boy, your words cut me so deep

You stress me, I’m taking a long flight on a paper plane

When you know I been tryna quit the green

[Pre-Chorus]

You got some problems, you really do

And you abusing my empathy

And that's my problem as I'm seduced by a project

That’s so sexy to me

Drain my energy, yeah

[Chorus]

Ain't got the courage to leave

And I know, and I know that's on me

And I know, and I know that I'm weak

I ain't got the courage to grieve

And I know, and I know that I'm weak

'Cause you know that I need you to love me

[Verse 2]

You want me submissive, using Bible verses

Telling me all your false prophecies

Need you around, you addictive, but it's clear to see

That’s a codependency (Ah)

[Pre-Chorus]

You got some problems, you really do

And I’m confused

But I got clarity

And therapy

I know the problem is that I'm used

To a cycle of inconsistency

And draining energy, yeah

[Chorus]

Ain’t got the courage to leave

And I know, and I know that's on me

And I know, and I know that I'm weak

I ain't got the courage to grieve

And I know, and I know that I’m weak

'Cause you know that I need you to love me

[Outro]

I needed you to love me when I didn't love myself

So familiar, cut my inner child, we're used to hell, used to pain

Used to be drunk off your bitter fruit

Sow the seed, ignore the weeds

Just to see the good in you

"Man, what's a queen doing with a peasant anyway?"

They tried to tell me, but bro dick me off the chain

Maybe if you put the same effort into, I don't know, a career

Then you could finally leave mine alone

'Stead or oppressing me and stressing me daily

Tell me you love, but you treat me like you hate me

I took the pill so I never had your baby

'Cause you could never tame me, break me, are you crazy?

Yeah, you were burning me good on the slow cooker

And yet you had me addicted to your sugar

But I be getting clean while you be getting lean

And this time next year, I'll be doing me
