Legends & Lies Lyrics

If love's a game, I'm a legend with no wins,

Truth hurts deep, but that's where it begins.

Chewing emotions, I'm drinking to think,

Pouring shots of wisdom while I watch it sink.

Love's a battle; I stay strapped with the pain,

Truth in my chamber, let it blast through the rain.

She's my light in this dark-ass storm,

But the stitches on my heart been ripped and torn.

Hour after hour, I climb this tower,

Built from compassion, fueled by power.

Does it satisfy you, watching me bleed?

Or will you take action to plant new seeds?

Deranged minds play games I can't play,

Judging on race, on gays—nah, not today.

I walk my truth; I don't cower in shame,

This is Detroit, where we call out names.

Sick of your lies, your fake-ass pride,

Tryna replace my ex as the mother of my child?

Bitch, you're trippin', feeding me dirt,

Six feet deep, let your sins revert.

Never had a smile in the first damn place,

A waste of air, a waste of space.

I broke from your chains, dodged my downfall,

Left you behind when I answered my call.

Deranged minds play games I can't play,

Judging on race, on gays—nah, not today.

I walk my truth; I don't cower in shame,

This is Detroit, where we call out names.

You prayed for my shame, but I rose from the weight,

Now I'm staring down the barrel of fate.

The waves crash hard, but I'm staying afloat,

You'd never understand the pain I wrote.

Pushed me to the edge, but I stepped back wiser,

Now I'm writing my life, no ghost, no advisor.

Love ain't a game, but I'm playing it true,

Detroit's in my blood; it's the path I pursue.
