Illy - Truce lyrics

Yeah, and it goes like this
Love at first sight
Brought you on the greenest
You're music to their ears
Symphony completed
You see it, and you believe
From top of your New Era
To the souls on your Adidas
You couldn't put a foot wrong
Even if you wanted
There's magic in your moves
They all tell you that you got it
But that vibe got a shelf
Life and the clocks ticking
You can tell when it felt
Right, then it didn't, and
They say it's gone to your head
Dammit, it was all love when
You wasn't a threat
And scare yourself to death
Expectations ain't met


Second guess every move
That paranoia don't mean it ain't true
It's on you no one hear you calling for help
Battle lines in your mind
In a war with yourself
And you drown in the shots
Ringing out all around yelling
"Man down, man down, man down"

And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know the breaks
And I know, I know, I know, I know
It's all to lose
But, I know, I know, I know
You are not your mistakes
So I call, I call, I call, I call
I call a truce

Yeah, preempting my own fate
Feel me fading away at the going rate
Convinced and inevitable, fall from grace
Fear mixed, we're hating myself for shit
That I can't change
For my opinion over anyone else
You think there's anything they're saying
I ain't thought of myself?
Fuck it I'm nothing, less that that
A fraud man, better if I wasn't here
Wrestle those thoughts to the floor
Like a fuck if I defeat myself
Before my turn i prefer to assume the worst
Then to get hurt
When success is self worth, lines blur
Perfect storm of outside force
And self-saboteur
'Cause the world scratch the surface
Barely sinks teeth in
But personal demons, could tear me to pieces
I know they say to know, 'you're not alone'
But no one else inside this fucking war zone
Like

And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know the breaks
And I know, I know, I know, I know
It's all to lose
But, I know, I know, I know
You are not your mistakes
So I call, I call, I call, I call
I call a truce

Yeah, so this it how it ends
Better getting by with a little
Help from you're friends
Going without, accepting what up within
Self-respect and self-forgiveness
That's a hell of a thing
And if it's out of my hands and control
Then I don't really talk about that anymore
Won't always be the good days
For sure it'll storm
But, you can't feel the black
Cloud above 'til it's gone
Yeah but live and let live, Coup de grâce
I gets heavy but just know
This too shall pass
Man, solace is a promise land
Two hands, either end of an olive branch
And it cannot change without reason
My inner peace, still a long shot
But I'm reaching i know what
When I say it's all good
And I actually believe it
Believe it, believe it yeah

And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know the breaks (I know the breaks)
And I know, I know, I know, I know
It's all to lose (yeah)
But, I know, I know, I know
You are not your mistakes
(You are not your mistakes)
So I call, I call, I call, I call
I call a truce

And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know the breaks
And I know, I know, I know, I know
It's all to lose
But, I know, I know, I know
You are not your mistakes
So I call, I call, I call, I call
I call a truce

And sometimes I'm like, "Fuck it
Why even try?" then a message from a fan
Will say I saved their life so just know
Inspiration has a two-way street
I drive myself crazy, then you save me
So let's see where the new day leads
Let the motor run
I know it can be hard trynna open up
But at the heart of the matter
Man it's only love
And if you don't know your own story
No one does
