T.O.N.E-z
A woman's love is worth a number non existent
And a mans shot for love is hidden behind ballistics
Hearts break shattering your whole infrastructure
Fake homies and friends searching for ways to * ya
Envy's prominent jealousy reveals the tear
Shows who you really are beneath that mask you wear
Phony hand shakes and hugs and plastic love
Screaming family treated me like a bad son

Ya hear me?

Ya hear me?
Happiness is something I never knew or felt
Searching for it too long almost lost myself
I stumble on it by accident or GOD's will
So I took my crumbled heart and started to build
Feeling good like the whiff of a scent of weed
Playing the game of love high score no penalties
This lucky lady got nothing but the best of me
Her true nature is slithering like a centipede
Listen

Ya hear me?

Hahaha
Plant a seed and water and you can grow a forest
Plant a seed of hate and love gets aborted
Good person now perceived as an evil demon
Crucified spit on with no rhyme or reason
But you're the one evil thoughts and evil ways
But GOD got my back real love will always find its way
Back to me where the truth will always prosper
