Bad Ties
[Verse 1: Gnedds]
Yeah, it used to be just you and me and now it seems to be
That the only thing you pretended to be
Is the only one that cared for me
And now I been changing up good for me
Packed up my bags and I write these raps
And I make these tracks for the people in the past
Used to really treat me bad
They weren’t good to me
I really gotta leave it all behind
I’ve been trying to work it out but it comes up out in rhymes
Reminiscing ‘bout the times when the hatred wasn’t mine
Either way you heard me say that I was fine
I’ve been here
No friends, no end, work don’t depend
On people who tend to wield the knife that slices your skin
They deceive like Satan
The ones that are grieving your life and it just don’t make sense
It don’t make sense
Cause your enemies will play friends
Either way, you’ll see the evil when the day ends, intense
Nightmares, keep you when the night fares
Even when you’re praying friends will seek you, yet they don’t care
It’s almost like they never did
Win or lose with them you’ll never win
Try to convince yourself that they’ll ever care
You wanna convince yourself but you never can
[Verse 2: Brian Richard Griffin]
Yeah, you never can
Heart’s not here — is it evident?
This is nice here, can I settle in?
“Uh no, but I’ll tease you — be affectionate”
I just thought that you’d let light to the bottom
Canopy of trees, let life come in and blossom
Everybody got seasons, I never have forgot ‘em
This feelings to me just getting all too common
Getting all too common

[Verse 3: Brian Richard Griffin]
I don’t understand this
How you plan to redeem or you stand in defeat
As you fight the only piece that is feeding your needs
Son of Man, please come release this fatigue
As I plead on my knees, now I feel like I bleed from my heart
From the start, this was no good for me
On standard of good like I’m Adam or Eve
Bit the tree, so much death that I sow destiny
That I sow destiny
Back on the path that I asked for and it would come for me
From the start been looking for something I can grasp to comfort me
Didn’t realize the trash growing underneath
Do you see the act and how it’s tough for me?
What can I say? Yeah, I haven’t got the best belief
What can I say if you say it’s love for me? Dang
