[Big K.R.I.T. - Red Eye lyrics]
I'm trying to find out what's
Going on with our relationship
Why am I the only one that's always calling
Making an effort? I
Understand that you're busy on the road
You have to do what
You have to do for your career, but I
Feel like if you really
Want this relationship, you
Do what you have to do for us also
Like I'm always, always the
One doing everything
And I'm just tired like call me back baby
I'm like what happened to us
Maybe I'm rapping too much
I been missing your touch
Sometimes I'm out and I lust
What if love ain't enough
And all we have is this trust
What if I'm fucking that up
So you don't trust in me much
I'm wasting your time, to say I'm straight
I'd be lying
It's either you or this music but
I can't make up my mind
I'd throw you a line, I'd give you a sign
Right now I'm through with the trying
I think you ready to fly
I settle for less so when I'm tired of stress
I go through the motions pretending
I'm at my best
Fall victim to flesh, I live to be fresh
But this ain't what I expect because
My life is a wreck i run out of breath cause
I ain't taking the steps
Money comes and it goes 'til
Family's all I got left
I'm seeing my growth
But I'm still from myself
You'll be hollering out next because
You're ready to fly
I can't find the words so you'll
Just fill in the blanks
I'm doing the norm and not what it takes
I'll keep folding my cards and
You'll keep raising the stakes
'Til we forget about us and what
We have is too late i know in your heart
You ain't conditioned to race
So I steady the wheel
Forever pumping the brakes
Resort to the bottle
That's how I deal with the shakes
Pray for these haters
That's how I deal with the hate
Look to the sky
Don't be content with the now
You ain't concerned with the why
You just wanna know how
I didn't give it a chance
When you just wanna be down
And save me from myself
But I'm wanting to drown
King is much more than the weight of a crown
As good as it feels
That ain't the way that it sounds
Being single is cool 'til ain't nobody around
Then I'm chasing you down
Cause you was ready to fly
I can't be what you want me to be
You're shooting too high cause you
Ain't aiming at me
One minute you're calling out for the D
Then the next minute you wanna be free
Then the next minute you hollering out peace
Although I know it's a war and
There'll be blood in the street
If you call don't be frustrated at me
Just leave you're heart at the beep
Cause mine is harder to reach
Cause mine is harder to see
And that don't make it harder to cheat
Being friends would make it harder to breathe
So if you ready to fly, just forget about me
But, if you willing to try
Then I'm willing to leap
Out of the window of pain and
Fall in love at your feet
I ain't the man you want me to be
I guess that's what's been bothering me
Going on with our relationship
Why am I the only one that's always calling
Making an effort? I
Understand that you're busy on the road
You have to do what
You have to do for your career, but I
Feel like if you really
Want this relationship, you
Do what you have to do for us also
Like I'm always, always the
One doing everything
And I'm just tired like call me back baby
I'm like what happened to us
Maybe I'm rapping too much

And all we have is this trust
