Letra Truce Illy

Truce

Yeah, and it goes like this
Love at first sight, brought you on the greenest
You're music to their ears, symphony completed
You see it, and you believe
From top of your New Era, to the souls on your Adidas
You couldn't put a foot wrong even if you wanted
There's magic in your moves, they all tell you that you got it
But that vibe got a shelf life and the clocks ticking
You can tell when it felt right, then it didn't, and
They say it's gone to your head
Dammit, it was all love when you wasn't a threat
And scare yourself to death, expectations ain't met
Second guess every move
That paranoia don't mean it ain't true, it's on you
No one hear you calling for help
Battle lines in your mind, in a war with yourself
And you drown in the shots, ringing out all around yelling
"Man down, man down, man down"

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks
And I know, I know, I know, I know, it's all to lose
But I know, I know, I know, you are not your mistakes
So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce
Yeah, preempting my own fate
Feel me fading away at the going rate
Convinced and inevitable, fall from grace
Fear mixed, we're hating myself for shit that I can't change
For my opinion over anyone else
You think there's anything they're saying
I ain't thought of myself?
Fuck it I'm nothing, less that that
A fraud man, better if I wasn't here
Wrestle those thoughts to the floor
Like a fuck if I defeat myself, before my turn
I prefer to assume the worst, then to get hurt
When success is self worth, lines blur
Perfect storm of outside force, and self-saboteur
'Cause the world scratch the surface, barely sinks teeth in
But personal demons, could tear me to pieces
I know they say to know, 'you're not alone'
But no one else inside this fucking war zone
Like

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks
And I know, I know, I know, I know, it's all to lose
But I know, I know, I know, you are not your mistakes
So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

Yeah, so this it how it ends
Better getting by with a little help from you're friends
Going without, accepting what up within
Self-respect and self-forgiveness
That's a hell of a thing
And if it's out of my hands and control
Then I don't really talk about that anymore
Won't always be the good days, for sure it'll storm
But you can't feel the black cloud above 'til it's gone
Yeah but live and let live, Coup de grâce
I gets heavy but just know, this too shall pass
Man, solace is a promise land
Two hands, either end of an olive branch
And it cannot change without reason
My inner peace, still a long shot, but I'm reaching
I know what, when I say it's all good and I actually believe it
Believe it, believe it
Yeah

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks
(I know the breaks)
And I know, I know, I know, I know, it's all to lose (yeah)
But I know, I know, I know, you are not your mistakes
(You are not your mistakes)
So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know the breaks
And I know, I know, I know, I know, it's all to lose
But I know, I know, I know, you are not your mistakes
So I call, I call, I call, I call, I call a truce

And sometimes I'm like, "Fuck it, why even try?"
Then a message from a fan, will say I saved their life
So just know, inspiration has a two-way street
I drive myself crazy, then you save me
So let's see where the new day leads
Let the motor run, I know it can be hard trynna open up
But at the heart of the matter, man it's only love
And if you don't know your own story, no one does
