My flow's so deep
You're drowning
This is not the kiddie pool
But I am clowning
On your head
I am pounding
KNOCK,KNOCK,KNOCK
Is there anyone there?
I think not.
You're blank
Like a sheet of unlined paper
But you're worn and tattered
Like a couple of bad acres.
Don't be tryin to get on me
Cause I'm like Shrek I have my layers.
You can peel them all off
But I still won't be bayer
Asprin is what I need
Cause you've given me a headache
I been on you for so long
That you're flat as a pancake.
Got your mind bent and twisted
Cause you don't know what's coming next.
I didn't for a while
and now it's my "bestfriend' and my ex!!
But I thank God
because I'm blessed!
With someone better than the last
I"m so happy I don't have to date your sorry
Let me stop before I have to blast you
Into outer space
Where time and movement get replaced.
You're trying to speak your words
but I'm just not hearin em.
I'm looking at your face
Thinking "I was delirious"
I'm pullin on some heart strings
Bringing out the pain
Pullin on some heart strings
Who's the one to blame?
I'm pullin on your heart strings
I'm tearing you apart
Got you cryin
Your rhymes dyin
Cause I'm pullin on yah heart.
Now you're hurt.
Pushed face forward
In the dirt.
I don't care if it's not fair
Cause it just makes it worse
On you to deal with the guilt
so painful and unable to be built in.
And now you're lookin at me
All sullen and gloomy
I really don't wanna help yah
Cause my flow's making you moody.
But it's time for me to stop
cause I'm
Pullin on your heart strings
bringing out the pain
I'm pulling on your heart strings
We'll never be the same.
Pullin on your heart strings
I'm tearin you apart
Pullling on the heart strings
Tuggin at your heart.
It wouldn't be so hard
If it never got this far
Could've left you alone
Could've stayed with my par.
But like stoop-kid
I stepped off the stoop.
And like Helga
I fell for a football head like you!
I was crying for a while
But that was that.
Had to get over it
it's a basic fact.
That:
You were not the one
Never will be.
I just had to believe
"Hey there's no more you and me".
I'm bringing up the past
Now it's time for the future
It's coming really fast
But there's no need for a tutor.
I'm planning all my life
Got it flat out
Put on paper.
But there's tribulations and strife
That could make it come a little later.
It's not that big of a deal
cause everyone makes mistakes.
But this is the one I always make
I'll be
Pullin on some heart strings
Pushin you in dirt.
Pullin on some heart strings
Making you feel hurt.
Pulling on some heart strings
Now I feel your pain.
Pulling on my heart strings
You don't have to hurt again.
I end up getting hurt
Every single time.
That's my very reason
for bringing out this rhyme.
Started clownin
Had you drownin
Trying to swim
But that's the very problem
Cause you couldn't comprehend
The words that I was spittin
Were like heaps of hot coals.
Eatin up your heart
and tearin up your goals.
I was tryin to break you down
just to bring myself up.
And now you're on the ground
You had to give up.
I told you I was deep
As the deep blue sea.
You should've listened
You should've listened to me
Cause I
Pulled on your heart strings
Brought out all my pain
Pulled on your heart strings
Now I can be strong Again.
