[Intro]
...Without you baby, baby, baby, baby
No, I just can't see myself. No, I just can't see myself
...Without you baby, baby, baby, baby
No, I just can't see myself. No, I just can't see myself
[Verse One: Speed on the Beat]
You've seen me through the crazy times, when there was never a Ray
No desire to make it work through the end of the day
When Raquel and I split, when I found I was having a kid
When I lost several relatives over a 48-hour stint
When I lost all of my money, lost both my jobs
Lost my sanity, you never steered me wrong
Even when things were going quote great with Dezeray
Well, in my head anyway, you my friend stayed
Provided me with muted sympathy, empowered me with empathy
So I could craft these symphonies that DAR and #ShrugLife breathes
And all these others envy like an African Child
And WE'RE the only ones getting a morsel to eat
At least I know you'll never leave...
That's why I've gotta keep you living with these words and beats
And you get so many letters, that I know it's so cliche'
But miss music, never leave me alone, k?
[Hook]
But can't you see your love for me (I know it's a foolish thing, a foolish thing)
But can't you see your love for me (I know it's a foolish thing, a foolish thing)
I hear you beeping right next to me, with your symphonies and your silly beats
And I'm just wanna keep you alive, but I know that I may run out of time
[Verse Two: Speed on the Beat]
My first taste? I think it was pre-puberty
In between RP, and trying to run the streets
Moms was going through a hard time though she never showed her cards
It was hard, so I tried to let miss music speak for me
Writing little rhymes, talking about Savvy Wood
Thinking about all the things that Savvy did with the wood (whoops)
Tossing little jabs at her and her crew of dudes and chicks
But without it? Probably would've never worked with True
Fast forward a couple years, a few death threats
A few loves lost, and I hadn't even hit Treeka yet
It was Maranda, may she rest in peace...
That told me subtly that I should revive the heat
THEN came that #TREEKA shit, how well do we know it
Wore my heart on my sleeve, and let my Soul Glo and...
Even through all that, miss music kept saying (keep going)
So I never stopped writing, man, I never stopped flowing (and making these beats)
[Hook]
But can't you see your love for me (I know it's a foolish thing, a foolish thing)
But can't you see your love for me (I know it's a foolish thing, a foolish thing)
I hear you beeping right next to me, with your symphonies and your silly beats
And I'm just wanna keep you alive, but I know that I may run out of time
[Bridge]
Yeah, this is what you call an interlude. So, go ahead and get your dance on for a second
DAR, #ShrugLife, we're back up in this thing again
No I just can't see myself--no, I just can't see myself
[Verse Three: Speed on the Beat]
Miss music, if I weren't trying to work with Raquel
I'd ask your non-human ass to marry me as well
Call it a crime against nature but I love yo' ass
Enough to breathe cliche topics, out of my vocal path
And it's swell! A feeling I don't usually feel
But Miss Music, I know that you keep it real
Even though loving you is wrong
I gotta let my love flow through these songs...Songs For
[Outro: Speed on the Beat]
DAR, ShrugLife, Speedy
No, I just can't see myself
Without you, baby, baby, baby, baby! Ha-ha
I'm actually having a little bit of fun. And that's good, you know?
Speed
