Te Vi
Arysta feat. castleurbano & Khriiz Lyrics

I just need some time, I'm tryna think straight
I need a moment to myself to clear my head

I just need a moment in my own space
I need to be alone for a little while

Ask me how I'm doin', I'll say "okay, " yeah
I'll tell you I'm fine when you ask, even if I'm not

But ain't that what we all say?
Don't we all pretend we're fine sometimes?

Sometimes I think back to the old days
I reminisce about the past

In the pointless conversations with the old me
I remember talking to my past self and realizing it was useless

Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me
I miss the comfort of being held by my mother

I wish somebody woulda told me
I regret not having had someone warn me

If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain
Love requires enduring hardship

If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change
Developing yourself is necessary to find love

If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away
You need to be willing to take a risk and build trust

Yeah, as a kid I used to think life
I recall my childhood perception of life

Is moving so slow, I watch it go by
Life seemed to pass by gradually

Look out the window on my bus ride
I'd stare out the window on the bus

I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes
I once believed the world was limited

I've always tried to control things
I've had a tendency to want control

In the end that's what controls me
But ultimately, it's what controls me

Maybe that's why I'm controllin'
Perhaps that's why I seek to control

The older I get, I feel like I'm always tryna save time
As I age, I feel like I'm always in a rush to save time

Talkin' to the voices in my head, they make me think twice
The thoughts in my head give me pause

Tellin' me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right
My thoughts challenge me to consider going against what feels wrong

I'm scared that one day I wake up and wonder where the time go
I'm afraid of losing track of time

Talk about the past like it's the present while I rock slow
I imagine reminiscing about the past while moving slowly

I'll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own
I envision a future with my own children

And tell 'em
And I'll say to them

You gon' have to give
You have to be willing to give

If you want love, if you want love
Love requires effort and sacrifice
