Black and White

[Verse 1: Dream Mclean] For my hunger Nothing is enough for my hunger A thirst that cannot be quenched Am I living out my dream or Am I just awake but stuck in a slumber? Uh, for my hunger Rock and a hard place squashed together I'm stuck living under I need a new nigga for this black cloud To follow Old hoes like "oh, you rap now?" New hoes like "oh, you rap? Wow" Me, I'm just here in the background Tryna keep myself to myself Steady tryna chase this wealth Steady tryna put myself on the shelf, just Tryna meditate, meditate till I feel intact Sorry, did I say meditate? What I meant to say was medicate Anyway, anyway I've just taken a pill so take what you will from that I told my girl I'm ashamed I broke her heart And she said "it's cool, just make sure you build it back" She never said it's cool, maybe I shouldn't paraphrase And maybe you should've ran away Far from here, far from here And wherever you go, just know when it's dark You can look up at the stars and see us Look at you crying already Cause you know as well as I do When you're looking at a star that it's died already Some things are too far to relate to And even when it's close enough to grab hold of Sometimes, you can't cause it hates you Do you really hate me? Hate is a strong word Appreciate is a long word Can't we talk about this tomorrow? I mean, I know it's getting late and you've got work I hate arguing, she knows that Sometimes I think it would all be so simple And balanced if she just got her own back Kidding myself, we both know that There's no way that I could forgive her I could forgive her Forgive her No, no, there's no way that I could forgive her If she ever found it in herself to get even And do me like I did her [Hook: Wallace Rice x2] I love it but hate you I love it, though, I love it But still search for something that ain't you I fuck around, I fuck up The blood is on you cause I blamed you No money now, or how we resemble A cut out of mother and father And they don't have love for each other I love it, though [Bridge: Dream Mclean x4] There's nothing for you here This was a bad idea, I fear But it's not too late to run along, run along, run along My dear, my dear [Verse 2: Dream Mclean] And she used to tell me how much she loved Aaliyah But she never loved a liar Something's burning, but not my ear She can smell pants on fire But you only smell smoke though you can't smell fire Only need I, don't ask why No need for Y, or you can't spell liar She said "you always have been a smart-arse But you can't work out emotions There is no black and white There is no right or wrong" I said "baby, that rhyme was wrong No, it did not rhyme at all And I'm tryna write a song Help me out here, help me out" She said "no, look at you showing off on a dinner date You're obnoxious, you irritate me To the point I am not to facilitate" I said "oh wow, you're not just a pretty face Cause you make em all laugh and they buss up You say the wrong thing and it's fuck ya" Yeah, it's fucked up Mum's looking at me like a fuck-up Cause I'm 23 and I can't make a meal from scratch Yet I'm sitting here telling her it's cool "Mum, it's cool, I'mma make me a mill from rap" Some things are too far to relate to And even when you feel that you can start believing Sometimes you can't cause it ain't true It ain't true [Hook: Wallace Rice x2]
