Brother Ali - Walking Away lyrics

Go ahead and wager that you never
Listen to another song of mine
I can't say I blame you either
Cause if you made records you ain't gonna
Catch me listening to that shit
But, if you do I just want you to know
I didn't make this to hurt you
God knows, you done hurt enough
Just I don't know, try to
Make some real shit, you know

Bye, you ain't never gonna see me again
If I can help it, little fellow take it easy
Fresh out of forced tears, kisses and hugs
You about to lose the
Company your misery loves
Ain't never did nothing but try
To kill your disease
At least help the symptoms
Instead you infected me
I'm not the kind of man to
Draw a line in the sand
If you gotta draw at all then
It's time for you to scram
PS, you can keep all this shit
And hang around your broke friends
And call yourself rich
The struggling I did with you
Was all for nothin' it was never enough
Your heart set on suffering
I admit that I was weak in the beginnin'
I wanted someone to need me
Instead of a friendship
I didn't think I deserved a true partner
So I transferred the arrangement I
Had with my mama

Since you never listen to a word I ever said
Maybe seeing this door slam
Will get it through your head
I don't love you, I don't think I ever did
And if you hadn't tried to kill me
I'd stayed for the kid

There's nothin'more for us to say
Got my mind made up, I'm walking away
Sometimes we just outgrow the
Role that we play
Hope you find a happy ending
To you story someday

Round and round and round we used to go
I never fucked you right
Or made enough bread, i know
If I'm such a bastard, and mistreated you so
Then how is it you're losing your
Mind to see me go?
Truth be told, I held you together
For all them years
And I cheated on you never
Defended your honor, took in your mama
When she tried to rehab and had
You back through the drama
You got a sick stone under your ribs
Where a heart is suppose to live
Sick, twisted and vindictive
With your windows dim
Baby, you're not wicked hard bull fish
You must shiver
How you threaten to kill the most precious
Gift that you'll ever be blessed with?
Unless you're twisted
Demented and depressed and shit
And alone cause you faithfully
Slayed your friendships
