Shay Speaks 2 Da Soul

I'm shackled, I'm bound,
Fighting freedom for myself
I'm fighting freedom from myself
Locked up no cuffs
I'm looking at myself in the mirror like
Enough is enough.
Bound by emotions
Listening to my heart
Not my gut.
Seeing people potential
Not the signs that be upfront
Getting lost within myself
Cause I just want to be loved.
Loyal love from friends
Who claimed we were friends
forever then
Drifted like the wind.
Want to have a sisterhood
Like the ones I share with my kin.
I deserve and desire
Wholehearted love
Unconditional love
Love you for you
Cause your you kind of love.
Want to be secure
I'm growing old and great
Kind of love.
Adventurous yet stable and trusted love.
So far I've been learning
People take it and dont return it.
Just sucks it up like Vampires on blood.

Backstabber

How many scars you want to
Put up in my back?
Stab me in my left
Let u still come right back.
Smiled in my face
Then when I turn around
You grabbing for the ax.
You said we was Ace Boons
But treat me like a jack.
Bent over backwards
How you gonna
Kick me in the ass?
Crazy s**t is I was reaching
To grab your hand?
Let u eat off my plate
When I only had a
Table spoon of this
And a handful of that.
Gave you rules of life
Everything I told you
It was real, never negative
it was facts.
You drop bombs
Gave me poison
The more I gave into you
You got what you wanted
Like a measuring tape
You quickly detract.
You said we were friends
What kind of a friendship
Is that?
You claim to be a loyal friend
That's big cap
My back is too wounded
From all the times you took
Your stabs.
