  • We may not know which way to go
    On this dark road
    (Mr. Duckworth)
    All of these hoes make it difficult
    Session ten, breakthrough

    One of these lives, I'ma make things right
    With the wrongs I've done, that's one of you now
    With the Father, Son, 'til then, I fight
    Rain on me, put the blame on me
    Got guilt, got hurt, got shame on me
    Got six magazines that's aimed at me
    Done every magazine, what's fame to me? (And I'm trippin' and fallin')
    It's a game to me, where the bedroom at?
    Sleep, I ain't had affairs with that
    What's fair when the hearts and the words don't reach?
    What's fair when the money don't take things back?
    It's rare when somebody take your dreams back? (And I'm trippin' and fallin')
    I care too much, wanna share too much
    In my head too much, I shut down too
    I ain't there too much, I'm a complex soul
    They layered me up, then broke me down
    And moralities dust, I lack in trust (and I'm trippin' and fallin')
    This time around, I trust myself
    Please everybody else but myself
    All else fails, I was myself
    Out done fear, out done myself
    This year, you better one yourself (and I'm trippin' and fallin')
    Masks on the babies, mask on an opp
    Wear masks in the neighborhood stores you shot
    But a mask won't hide who you are inside
    Look around, the realities carved in the lies
    Wipe my ego, dodge my pride (and I'm trippin' and fallin')
    Look myself in the mirror
    Amityville, I ain't seen nothin' scarier
    I fought like a pit bull terrier, blood I shed could fill up aquariums
    Tell my angels, "Carry 'em" (and I'm trippin' and fallin')
    Every emotion been deprived
    Even my strong points couldn't survive
    If I didn't learn to love myself, forgive myself a hundred times, dawg

    I love when you count me out (huh)
    I love when you count me out
    I love when you count me out (wah, woo, ooh)
    I love when you count me out
    Fuck it up, fuck it up
    Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuckin' it up
    How you gon' win my trust when the lies run deep? (Wah, woo, wah)
    How you gon' bend your love when the bad don't sleep? (Sheeesh)
    Beep, beep, crash our feelings in the middle of the street (vroom, vroom)

    Fuck it up, fuck it up
    Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuckin' it up (huh, huh)

    When you was at your lowest, tell me where the hoes was at?
    When you was at your lowest, tell me where the bros was at?
    Three-thirty in the mornin', scroll through the call log (huh, huh, huh, huh)
    Ain't nobody but the mirror lookin' for the fall off (Brrt)

    I love when you count me out
    I love when you count me out
    I love when you count me out
    I love when you count me out (wah, woo, wah, woo, wah)

    My name is in your mouth, shoo, shoo
    It's gon' take more than pride to stop
    Call 9-1-1, I caught a body
    Sun up now, yesterday is fadin'
    Healing's only 'bout a mile away
    Let me tell you 'bout the women I know (that's my baby)
    I know karma like to follow us strong (sheesh)
    I know millionaires that feel alone (sheesh)
    Anytime I couldn't find God, I still could find myself through a song
    Many find they life in a phone

    Fuck it up, fuck it up
    Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuckin' it up

    You said I'd feel better if I just work hard without liftin' my head up
    That left me fed up
    You made me worry, I wanted my best version but you ignored me
    Then changed the story
    Then changed the story
    Good energy in the room, drop the location, please
    Antibiotic for the womb, when I'm frustrated, please
    (Antibiotic for the womb, when I'm frustrated)
    Tryna keep my good conscious in rotation
    Thoughts in my head, they livin' there with no- (tryna keep my good)
    I made a decision, never give you my feelings
    Fuck with you from, fuck with you from a distance
    Some put it on the Devil when they fall short
    I put it on my ego, lord of all lords
    Sometimes I fall for her, dawg

    I love when you count me out
    I love when you count me out (sheesh)
    I love when you count me out (sheesh)
    I love when you count me out
    My name is in your mouth

    Fuck it up, fuck it up (true, true)
    Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuckin' it up

    Miss Regrets, I believe that you done me wrong (Miss Regrets)
    Miss Regrets, can you please exit out my home? (Miss Regrets)
    Miss Regret, I think I'm better off alone (Miss Regrets)
    (Miss Regret)
    Miss Regret, I got these deep regrets (and I'm trippin' and fallin')
    Some things I can't forget
    Lord knows, I've tried my best
    You said it's not my best
    I came up out my flesh
    Some things I must confess (ayy, ayy) (and I'm trippin' and fallin')
    Spoke my truth, paid my debt (ayy, ayy)
    Can't you see I'ma wreck? (Ayy, ayy)
    Let me loose, I digress (ayy, ayy)
    This is me and I'm blessed (ayy, ayy)
    This is me and I'm blessed (ayy, ayy)
    This is me and I'm blessed (ayy, ayy)
    This is me and I'm blessed (ayy, ayy)
    Anybody fightin' through the stress? (Ayy, ayy)
    Anybody fightin' through the? Writer/s: Dacoury Dahi Natche, Jason Kevin Pounds, Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, Mark Anthony Spears, Sam Dew
