Because it′s hard to find your love, I found it out

Because you better not, you better not stay

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it outBecause but this song is so non-desirable

I′m from where too many lives, 25 years or fewer

Nothin' we receive is brand new, it's just newer

While brothers drop down to their knees and make do of

Popsicle sticks raced down the curb into the sewer (you don′t have to)

The next American hangman, sketch the crayon

Gangland all a façade, the truth persuade on

Killin′ birds with one stone is what we stay on

Wingspan never too wide for you to fray on (you don't have to)

The ways never seems to amaze or inspire

Illiterate, the signatures been forged, the fire

Broken spirit, some are simply required

It confirmed the door of no return at El Mara (you don′t have to)

Screamin' into the ocean for emotional support

We never won awards, we was boards to the court

Puttin′ swords to umbilical cords to cut 'em short

Translation, vacation is at a last resort (you don′t have to)

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it out

Because but this song is so non-desirable

We took shoestrings, lemon drops, and chips from the deli

Knocked 'em out the box with spinner tops and skelly

"Do it, you′ll get to it," what Mr. Woo Mac would tell me

I was locked, my celly read nigga, no Makaveli (you don′t have to)

This inheritance was negative, marriage is the devil's piss

State′s evidence, give us anything instead of this drama

In the mirror like, Yayoi Kusama

Had me turn into Muhammad, to Buddha the Dalai Lama (you don't have to)

If I would snatch a shoulder bag from somebody mama

Am I cancerous? Can′t discuss what the short answer was

Hungry as wars, take the money and run

Sometimes, simultaneously take the one of your lungs (you don't have to)

What I mean is I′ve seen everything that's under the sun

Niggas below the poverty line live under the gun

We all schemin', savages ain′t vegan, what the fuck is love?

Don′t need a reason to die, we die just because (you don't have to)

Because it′s hard to find your love, I found it out

Because you better not stay, you better not stay

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it out

Because but this song is so non-desirable

I was on 34 cruisin′ through Medina

I was just a Neo 'fore I had the Nina

I had the snapback with the tees on

Practicin′ my ollie, I could hardly get my feet up (you don't have to)

Had me hittin' the staircase just to roll the reefer, uh

Now, I′m smokin′ big Cohibas out in Costa Rica like Korda Frida

Havin' flashbacks, niggas gettin′ clapped at in front of the cleaners

On 34th street, until this day it haunts me (you don't have to)

It′s why I had to move raunchy

I know killers in Marcy, so please don't taunt me

I spent some summer times in Canarsie

Me and Quan gettin′ stopped and frisked by Hutch & Starsky (you don't have to)

They was lookin' for hard drugs in our movie

Mama told me not to let that shit bother me

Papa said to move cautiously

So, the streets would never father me

But you don′t know that part of me (you don′t have to)

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it out

Because but this song is so non-desirable

Yeah

My girl told me I should watch my tongue, my skin gets red too easy

She don′t wanna change her name like Washington

Wonders where I got it from, my parents' marriage was a toxic one

Mmm, oh well, I′m 'bout to cop a gun (you don′t have to)

Hope I get to use it, it'll help blow up the music

I know somethin' slightly off with me, drama is therapeutic

Ego hates feeling futile, sometimes, I move without scruples

Like havin′ Mrs. Perfect with me and still chasin′ approval (you don't have to)

From other women, I′m a glutton, I can't run from who I become

Dad′s around the corner, haven't seen him in like three months

We don′t speak much, I don't handle balance well, got a fragile shell

My money split the king and queen up, then the castle fell (you don't have to)

The tension in the air is still crisp

Sometimes I wish this game was over like I′m Lil Flip

′Cause sometimes, I'm wishing that my brain came with a kill switch

I don′t vacation, dawg, I guilt-trip, real shit, yeah (you don't have to)

Because it′s hard to find your love, I found it out

Because you better not stay, you better not stay

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it out

Because but this song is so non-desirable
