Let 'Em Leave Lyrics

Wake up, the sun's not shining

Is there any way out of here?

Alive, but feel like dying

I'm only dreaming nightmares

Where everybody leaves

No one believes in me

I used to beg and plead

Now I just watch 'em leave

Yeah

If you don't wanna be around

Then don't be around

Just don't run your mouth after you shut me down

And when I'm breaking out

Don't you dare make a sound

How many fake motherfuckers gonna come around when I make a name for myself?

If you weren't there from the beginning, I don't need you now

You jumped ship back then, why'd you swim out now?

Acting like a life raft, but it's too late

You left me to drown

If they question your integrity

Treat ya like a thief

Let 'em leave, let 'em leave

Let 'em leave, let 'em leave

If they make ya question everything

You're begging on your knees

Let 'em leave, let 'em leave

Yeah

Let 'em if they wanna leave you

Yeah

Leave you before you leave me?

Nah

Believe me, I'm barely breathing

Yeah

'Cause I'm always looking for signs, but signs deceive me

I tried to believe in you, but you don't believe me

And then you'll leave me this evening

And I hate all this screaming

I'm bruised and I'm bleading

This time I'm conceding

That this was never gonna work in the first place

And you didn't want me, you just couldn't say it to my face

I get it, I say that I get it

But I don't get it though

'Cause every single one of my intentions was gold

But you won't know that now because you didn't know it then

And once the money piles up, I bet I'll see you back again

But fuck that, that's a bad friend

I'm tying up the loose ends

I'm cutting off the dead ends

I'm leaving your ass on read

If they question your integrity

Treat ya like a thief

Let 'em leave, let 'em leave

Let 'em leave, let 'em leave

If they make ya question everything

You're begging on your knees

Let 'em leave, let 'em leave

Yeah

Let 'em if they wanna leave you

This is gonna be the last time I say this

If you wanted to speak up, you would've

But you never said shit, so

It doesn't matter if you're watching in the distance

That's a fraud crossed off the guest list

I can feel the energy of your judgment

I'm handing you my craft

The basement rats will judge it

Like they're above it

But I know they ain't above me

Bitch, I've been doing this shit since 2003

Since I was a kid recording tapes in my bedroom

Now I'm 25 hoping imma get outta debt soon

I know you got a target on me watching my next move

And I know it's hard to shoot when I keep moving past you

You don't think I'll make it, that's fine

Who asked you?

The risk, I'm gonna take it

Passed time

Paid my dues

Maybe one day you'll see I was one of a kind

But if you're packing your things to leave

I'ma leave you behind
