Cover My Tracks

And I remember the first time
I laid my eyes upon you, it was so sublime
You had a thought-provoking mind
But did you notice mine?
Hell no you figured since I rapped
That I rolled around town with
My finger on the trigger of a gat
Now can you picture that? me selling crack?
Bumpin' Tom Wait's
Trying to diet and lose my belly-fat
I said "Hello" and you said "Hello Mac"
But I fell in love when I
Realized you’d been to Hell and back
And still walk around with so much poise
You could retreat with self pity
But instead u made the choice
To put the tears on hold
Kneel down and grab a shield
Grab a sword and take a
March through the battlefield
You're the only girl that I've
Been with that when i’m without
It's like I missed out on friendship
I used to be charming
Now I'm just a sharp sting
It's like you're looking for
A fingerprint on harp strings

If I could take ‘em all back, done
I would take 'em all back but one
I would take 'em all past the sun
And leave 'em like that
And cover my tracks so they could
Never make it back to find me

You know?

You know

And I remember the first time
I realized that sometimes
That you and I shouldn’t
Occupy the same confines for too much time
Or we share disaster
Cuz we share the energy to
Argue over shit that doesn’t matter
And nothing really matters
But everything, every cliche
Ever set of wings
I let you pull the weight, like a rickshaw
It's rude trying to trudge through the
Stream of my impulsive moods
See, you and I
We’ve fallen down a pitfall or two
And I got the thick skull to prove
But I am rarely honest
Cuz every time we discuss this topic
My guard is up and every
Word we exchange is toxic
I never say "you're right" to your face
But I'mma say "you're right" in this song
You’re right and I'm wrong
In fact, as I'm writing this song
I realize I'm sitting here
Alone tonight and you're gone
So I say if I could take ‘em all back, done
I would take 'em all back but one
I would take 'em all past the sun
And leave 'em like that
And cover my tracks so they could
Never make it back to find me

If I could take ‘em all back, true
I would take 'em all back but you
I would take 'em all past the moon
And leave 'em like that
And cover my tracks so never
Put 'em in a rap like I did you

You know
