[A.B. Original, Thelma Plum - I C U lyrics]
True yo
I never hesitate to burn a bridge
Sometimes I just remind 'em what a furnace is
And with the burners lit
It feels like the perfect gift
I could see the future
Figure out what your purpose is
You're like a burden on a certain tip
And the iceberg's lurkin' to pull the
Curtain on a virgin ship
You ducked out while the work was thick
So now I point out to these
Clowns where the circus is
I am what you pretend to be
That might offend you
But, I been through, might end you
With no one to avenge you
Friends come and friends go
That fucks with your mental
Until it's just benzos and endones
In your friend zone
So don't ever call me lucky
You don't know what I done, what it was
Who I lost, or what it cost me
If our next meeting's kind of frosty
Its 'cause you were taking too much
Time trying to watch me
And you're too busy watching me
When you need to watch yourself
Choose your words more carefully
But play the hand you're dealt
'Cause you come around with
Your runnin' mouth call me stupid, I see you
'Cause you come around with
Your runnin' mouth call me stupid, I see you
I never hesitate to burn a bridge
I lift a pint glass then watch
The Reichstag when the curtains lift
On the right path to end
Up in that wrong place
With the Reaper, in deeper than Dantes
Yes, aching in my chest is
What I'm living with
Stress, youth incarceration's my privilege
Death on the cards since I was a youngling
Paul Kelly with the big belly
Did them dumb things
I hit twenty, they said he might be lucky
Guess that funerals are beautiful
And life is ugly brothers and my sisters
Love 'em and I miss them
Stuck within the system, can I get a witness?
I get the feeling that me
Breathing is a bonus
But, if I'm taking anything
I'm doing what they shown us
So when you call 'em and you
Wonder where the cops be
It's 'cause they taking too much
Time trying to watch me
And you're too busy watching me
When you need to watch yourself
Choose your words more carefully
But play the hand you're dealt
'Cause you come around with
Your runnin' mouth call me stupid, I see you
'Cause you come around with
Your runnin' mouth call me stupid, I see you
My brother, you gotta watch your health
When they come around
You better watch yourself
My sister, you gotta watch out for me
I'll watch for you while
You're watching police
My niece, my cousin, my nephew
Understand that your fam won't forget you
You gotta get up, breathe, get up, breathe
Get up, breathe, get up, get up
And you're too busy watching me
When you need to watch yourself (Get up)
Choose your words more carefully
But play the hand you're dealt
(Get up, breathe)
'Cause you come around with
Your runnin' mouth call me stupid, I see you
'Cause you come around with
Your runnin' mouth call me stupid, I see you
I never hesitate to burn a bridge
Sometimes I just remind 'em what a furnace is
