[Lyric] Loose Strings (Ali X (Hip-hop artist))

Yea I hurt

Cause I want better for myself

You won't be there when I need you

I'd rather do it myself

I know better than to ask your for help

I ain't saying I'm the man

I just play the hand dealt

I gave my all and you ain't care how I felt

Down count me out I keep few tricks up under my belt

My heart is cold

I don't think it could melt
Feel like you'd fold

I'd rather do it myself

I gotta do it myself


Fuck you

Bitch I did it for me

I broke my heart to save my soul

And keep my demons at peace

I can't understand the mind of a thief

How you gonna take my love and think you better than me

I just bet the world look better off without me

Don't it?

And bet your body probably feel better without me on it

Now you only rent space in my mind
You used to own it

Built a house

I guess we both out grown it

But I still wish the best for you

Fuck what you wish me

I let my mind drive the boat

And keep my thoughts at sea

Honestly know I hide behind my analogies

I never could just say what I mean

I've been traumatized by everyone I've counted on

Cause if I love you

I'm with you

Fuck if you right or wrong
But if you wrong ima tell you bout yourself

And I'd hope you'd do the same but I'd rather do it myself

I know better to than to ask for your help

That's for whoever

You honestly just playing yourself

Don't think you clever

Cause I'm the type of person that'll be there if you need me

Girl If honesty's the key

That's the reason you never see me

I'm closing the door

Girl I ain't stupid I've been here before

I ain't good at sneaky links

Always want something more

But I tend to seek attention whenever I'm bored

I keep settling for less

I deserve more


Honestly just expressing shit I think on a daily

I've been thinking bout more me and less about you lately

Giving up on the idea that only you could save me

Putting you first I played myself more that you ever played me

Had to learn to put myself first

Still ain't learn my lesson

Count blessings

Like It don't hurt

Try to distract myself with women but it don't work

Always thinking they'll be different

Always end up hurt

Sometimes it feels like I got no one looking out from me

And when they do it kinda feels like they want something from me

And I know the ones I give to

Rather take it from me

Don't really blame them though

It's harder to think when you hungry


Is it fair to measure love based on sacrifice

And if you snake someone you love

Can you make it right

I'm a victim of the serpent

Bit the fruit of life

Been overthinking bout my life

I hate it when I'm right

Love and hate are very different and a lot a like

I don't think that I hate you but then I again I might

Used to pray for love I realize there's more to life

Love made me hate you

Yo I told you they a lot alike

Biting on my tongue is something I had to get used to

They say they don't want nothing from you

Just so they can use you

And this is something I got used to

When I fell in love It probably knocked a couple screws lose

They won't see your worth until they want to take it from you

Feeling alone and I don't know how much more I can do

Feeling lost and I don't know how much more I can lose

Only got myself and that the only thing I needed too

Cause I know better than to ask for your help

I gave my all and you ain't care how I felt

Feel like you'd fold

I'd rather do it myself
