Description
Yeah, let the horns breathe, keep it tight, this one for us
We both been there, relying on another human So much so they say they got us
And we got trust like stupid dumb fucks, some people in hoes
And fake ass people cheatin' on us, beatin' on us, lyin' to us, stealin' from
Ain't got no job, but always makin' moves, we payin' cell phone bills
And they textin' everyone but us, they talk to us like they at their core
Haters and we standin' here all dressed up, smellin' good
Made sure the entire house and the car is clean, waitin' to take you out to dinner
But we gotta wait for them to quit playin' the game with the friends
Or in the bathroom for two hours, two hours now, past the time we was supposed to be there
Now we don't even wanna be there, we look so beautiful but we don't feel beautiful
And now since we don't feel like bein' around other people, now they wanna be mad at us
And tellin' us this is on us and it's our fault, makin' us feel like shit lit on fire
But we either comfortable, reliant, or ignorant
Cause we stay and say they ain't always like this, sometimes they really good
And we remember the good, so we look past the bad
But if the bad is present, odds are it will always be there
And we was never innocent, we always guilty of somethin'
But the shit we go through, it leaves here, me and you
Don't nobody ever deserve this shit and never damn sure the kids, they don't never deserve this hurt
We both have one or two of the clowns to push us to defend what we got
But we may try to leave where we at just to be met by some jolly green giant sized hoes
Standin' in the frame, blockin' the door, you ain't goin' nowhere
You better move, bitch, you ain't settin' me up
They callin' the cops to notice, if I knock you out and attack you like Blagg, you be goin' jail with me
We had clowns tryin' harm us with weapons and even had clowns doin' clown shit
That could have or have harmed our babies, our once was babies
Now they left and hate us, but they was our babies
And we fought and won every fight for them, even though again they left and hate us
But we both still here, most importantly, neither of us has ever met someone
That is more in tune with more in the other's minds, teachin' each other this is factual as fuck
That's all I got, you the cow, I'm the squirrel
We held the nights and the mornings when nobody would stand
We stitched the wounds and we held on with our hands
Ain't nobody know the way that we move when it's land to land
You the cow, I'm the squirrel, we steady, we plan
Painted smiles on the ride out, city lights under glass
We learn to keep our distance from the ghosts of the past
They try to box us in the doorway, try to clip where we grew
But every time they test our edges, me and you stay true
We trade scars for stories, trade the ache for a song
Jazz in the alley, hip-hop pulse keepin' us strong
Kids in the corner sleepin' safe from the storm
We promise better mornings, keep each other warm
All the threats and the terror, all the nights we survived
Turn them into verses, let the testimony ride
We don't glorify the hurt, we testify the truth
From the rubble we assemble, rebuildin' our youth
We held the nights and the mornings when nobody would stand
We stitched the wounds and we held on with our hands
Ain't nobody know the way that we move when it's land to land
You the cow, I'm the squirrel, we steady, we plan
This is factual as fuck, that's all I got
We keep our vows, keep our souls, keep the plot
If they block the door, we'll find a window and climb
You the cow, I'm the squirrel, till the end of time
