Tear Slave Songtext
von In Loving Memory

Yeah she′s blowing up my phone saying we don't talk
And I′m thinking we can't make this work if we don't walk the walk
Told her "Babe you knew the deal, this is how it goes"
Gotta put myself at number one when I′m out on the road
I told her, You knew getting into this that it wasn′t gonna be some easy shit, no
I can't apologize, I′m just tryna keep my eyes on the prize so
If you gotta go then go, I know you're feeling low
But don′t act like you didn't know

I′m a slave to the music that's in my veins
I'm gonna chase it until I go insane
Even then, I don′t think I′ll break away
The love for the game got me feeling like a slave


Yeah the homies on the block don't fuck with me no more
They be thinking I still got the time to mack and drink and smoke
They think this music shit′s a game but it ain't no joke
Tryna put us brown kids on the map because ain′t nobody know what it's like
To grow up insecure because everybody making waves don′t look like you
So we say it's impossible for a kid like us to make it through
A change is due, and I wanna be the start
So I gotta fight twice as hard

I'm a slave to the music that′s in my veins
I′m gonna chase it until I go insane
Even then, I don't think I′ll break away
The love for the game got me feeling like a slave

'Till I go insane
I′m a slave to the music

I'd be lying if I said it didn′t break my heart
That I gotta disappoint the ones who loved me from the start
And what makes it hurt the most is you just want what's best
For your little boy so he could have what you could never get
You immigrated across the world so I could flourish here
But I know that I could be much more than just an engineer
I'll keep you in my heart as I take my gift and run with that
If I let you go for now, just know I′m coming back

I′m a slave to the music that's in my veins
I′m gonna chase it until I go insane
Even then, I don't think I′ll break away
The love for the game got me feeling like a slave


'Till I go insane
I′m a slave to the music
'Till I go insane
