lyrics

"I can't do it all for you
I can't take the fall for you
I keep getting the call from you
Just take what i offer you
Was there for you, you needed me
I rescued you repeatedly
Save that, you wouldn't speak to me
How you forget so easily
You do not know how tired I've been
You don't care what you put me in
I've been through hell to pay your sins
I'm up against the world again
You've taken the best of me
And turned it 'gainst the rest of me
I'm trynna live my destiny
I don't think there's much left of me"

"Damn damsel...You got me in distress
Damn damsel...You got me in this mess
Damn damsel...I'm given it my best
Damn damsel...I won't give up just yet"

"Why must we be tied together
Told you would be mine forever
Said we would grow old but never
Did I think I would regret her
I'm your knight in shining armor
Hatred for you I still harbor
I run from you i must get farther
I'm through with you, I won't be bothered
I will not come back to your rescue
My sword will not raise in your name
I will not lie, I won't forget you
But i refuse to die plain in your game"

"Damn damsel...You got me in distress
Damn damsel...You got me in this mess
Damn damsel...I'm given it my best
Damn damsel...I won't give up just yet"

"Damn girl, you been done did it again
Just when I done thought that everything was good, we at it again
Thinkin bout how the hell we keep on goin then I think about u moanin..
Sexy as hell, but really why cant we just both act grown,
And stop with the petty shit use benevolent rhetoric
So it ain't like we talkin to layers in the earth sediment..
At certain times, seem like you heaven sent
Others, overly evident knowin that it would end if for no help or no medicine...
Kush prescriptions, that jetison mental waves, up out my skeleton
While I keep on inhalin' them exhalin when I'm calm
(and) like deja vu its gone never knowin who's side you're on
Keep trynna play me like a pawn..then like the flick of a wand or dial,
Of a reciever change your whole damn demeanor
Like you up and healed from fever, but me,
Not a believer, your procedures lead to siezures
And me, im just to eager for change, I rearrange my frame
Until the drain don't hit the same and lustful urges feel lame
No one but you got cause for blame, ain't that a shame?
We came so far but in essence only sub par
So my message: be who you are if you trynna shine like a star
But see me, im takin this right I see you buckin left
Hit the gas pedal, like grand theft ain't nothing left
A damn damsel that's in distress i tried my best,
The method was monumental but it failed to manifest, so bless"

"Damn damsel...You got me in distress
Damn damsel...You got me in this mess
Damn damsel...It's true that i have left
Damn damsel...You did this to yourself"
