I can't be with you tonight
No I got to do the right thing
I'm picking my fight plan
You know I'll be right back
I don't want to fight
And I can't speak with you tonight
Said I'd give you a call but
I really got caught up
You know you're the source of the love in my life
This verse goes out to the one that I'm missing
Out there somewhere, off in the distance
I'm counting down the days until I get to see her next
Sucks that I got to talk to her through a text
'Til we're in the same room and I can hold her to my chest
'Cos I miss her laugh, and I miss her scent
She's trying to understand but it's hard, she doesn't see
Everything that's going on there in the daily with me
Tonight we got two gigs going back to back
'Cos we're trying to do our best to put the crew on the map
If it doesn't pop off soon, it could be a wrap
Don't want to choose between the two, a dude is feeling trapped
I'm still holding everything down on my end
She inspires all the words that come out of my pen
And I say it wholeheartedly, no doubt in my breath
Let's enjoy what we have before we got no time left

Yeah I'm sitting up in bed again, mad stressed
Tears lined eyelids, and silence is definite
Body language represent the words that I never said
Hit up, timing just couldn't be worse
'Cos I got to put in work with the crew to rehearse
And I can't give the time that you truly deserve

Girl, understand and please be patient
I know at times I leave in haste with these places
Realise the strangest thing is creating
With you by my side is when I feel safest
So, when I take off, baby, let us make sure
That we stay close and both of us will stay strong

I don't want to leave you but I got to go and trade songs

I got my bags packed, back on the road, dodge hatchback
Heading to the show, fresh clothes in my knapsack
Shorty back home all alone
Worrying her dome [?
So she fall asleep by the phone
Dreaming about a ringtone, but she got me dreaming about her skin tone
Counting every second from the car to the hotel
Back to the car, from the stage to the bar
Downstairs, cell phone, not a ring, there's no charge
No check, x next on my text, no bars
So, far as I know, when I get her on the line
It'll be
a lot of:
'Why you never call
'Why you lying?'
'Who you with?'
''Where you at now?'
'Who's in the background?'
Got to tell her sorry but my phone about to die
I know it sounds foul but it's true
Just let me make it up to you, next time you can come too but
I know it seems I ain't got time and it's hurting you baby
I know you're so tired of waiting
But understand that I got to do this for you and I, no
I wouldn't lie, oh
I hope you never leave my sight
So baby believe me I can make this right

I'm doing this for us
Baby baby trust, I ain't lying
Said I ain't lying
