Pieces of Me
Joey Cool Lyrics

Honesty ain′t never been this easy for me
Being truthful has always been a challenge for me

Probably why people ain't believing in me
This difficulty with honesty may be why others find it hard to trust me

Running through this tunnel, it ain't easy to see
Navigating through life is difficult and unclear

Let me carry all your trouble, just release it to me
I am willing to take on the burdens of others to help ease their pain

I been broke and shattered, I'm a fraction of me
I have been through tough times and feel like I am not whole anymore

My heart been battered savagely, this my reality see
My emotions have been hurt badly and this is my current reality

And I said honesty ain't never been this easy for me
Reiterating that being truthful is a challenge for me

Since I been broken, I present remaining pieces of me
After being hurt, I am only able to present fragmented parts of myself

I been a sav, I been a dog, I been an ass, I been involved
I have not always been the best version of myself and have made mistakes

I got the number but I didn't call
I had an opportunity but did not take advantage of it

Yeah, I was wilin' when I was on tour
I behaved recklessly when I was on tour

I got a daughter named Lyric Amore
I have a daughter named Lyric Amore

I ain't been wit her since she was like four
I have not been able to spend time with her since she was four years old

That's cause her mom always kicking me out
The reason why I cannot see my daughter is because her mom does not want me around

Packing my shit and I walked out the door
I had to leave the house and the situation escalated

They on my head, I'm at they neck
People are criticizing me heavily

Be at the club and run into an ex
I sometimes see my ex-girlfriends when I am out at nightclubs

First she gon' act like she mad about hoes
At first, she will act angry about other women that I have been with

Next thing you know we be talking 'bout sex
Eventually, the conversation moves towards sexual topics

I was in love with this fucking little blonde
I was deeply infatuated with a blonde woman

She said I need to get off of her mind
She did not want to be with me anymore

That's how you feeling, we breaking the bond
I understand that our relationship is ending

Then I decided to make it a song, yeah, whew
I used my emotions to create music

That's what I'm on, bitches be loving to see me perform
People enjoy my performances

Then they get mad when I leave and I'm gone
Fans can become upset when I leave after a show

Tragedy happened, I'm leading them on
Personal events have caused me to feel lost and unsure of what to do next

That's what you call casualty, wars
These situations can be considered the casualties of my lifestyle and choices

Head in the clouds, eye in the stars
I am often caught up in my own thoughts and aspirations

I am the chaos and I am the calm
I am a mix of both chaos and calmness

I am the, I am the, I am the eye in the storm, yeah, whew
I am the person who finds peace and a sense of control in the midst of chaos

Yeah I’m too much, I had the groupie bitch all on the bus
I have a lot going on in my life and sometimes people become overly attached to me

I had my phone in the pocket for real
I had my phone in my pocket and did not realize what was happening

Next thing I knew, she was hearing us fuck
Suddenly she was overhearing me having sex with someone else

I think her thizz was texting me up, he was like 'Joey you know what you did'
Her friend was reaching out to me and telling me that I was in the wrong

I was in Vegas my nigga like what, really a piece
I was in Las Vegas and was caught off guard by the situation

It is what it is, yeah
I just have to accept what happened and move on

I still remember when I was with Ting
I have fond memories of being with Ting

I had to go, she had a dream
I had to leave her because she had other aspirations for her life

She would come swoop me and help me with cream
She would come to see me and help me in my personal and professional life

Gang in this thang, she rep for the team
She was supportive of me and my friends

Took her for granted now she got a king
I did not appreciate her enough and now she is with someone else

I can do nothing but be happy for her
I am happy for her despite my own feelings

That girl deserve it, I gotta support her
She deserves to be happy and I need to support her decision

Almost got close to this one I just met
I almost became involved with someone new that I just met

But then reality put me in check
I realized that I was not in a place to pursue a new relationship

A situation I had to respect
I had to respect the situation and not try to force anything

See cause my karma be piling up debt
I understand that my past actions have caught up with me

There ain't no way you can't tell me I'm fine
I know that I am not okay despite what others may say

All of these women try to tell me it's mine
Women often claim that I am the father of their child

Then they go blast me, I love with the net
Then they go online and publicly shame me on the internet

Goddamn it's sex, it works every time
People often use sex as a tool for manipulation

Bitches be wilin' and sendin' me snaps
Women often send me explicit photos on Snapchat

'Bout to delete it, I don't need the app
I am considering deleting the app due to the unwanted attention

Gotta keep going, I don't need a nap
I need to keep pushing forward and not give up

Writing the book and I'm reading the facts
I am reflecting on my life experiences and learning from them

I know sometimes I don't need to react
I understand that sometimes the best response is no response

My picture bigger, I see it intact
My success and fame is growing and I see it all clearly

The Devil be working, he come in the form of a skirt and a smile
Temptation can come in the form of a seductive woman

Believe it's a wrap
I know that I need to be cautious and avoid temptation

Answer my daughter, don't have an excuse
I need to prioritize my relationship with my daughter and not make excuses

I'm tryna set an example for you
I want to be a positive role model for my daughter

I'm not the man that I want you to be with
I acknowledge that I am not the best partner for her mother

I ain't the man that's gon' show you the truth
I am not always reliable and cannot always provide the truth

I can admit it, I gotta do better
I am taking responsibility for my mistakes and want to improve

Shouted like then threw a rock at the glass
I became angry and threw something at a window

And the best pieces remaining are you, yeah
Despite everything, my daughter is the most important thing to me and the best part of my life

Honesty ain't never been this easy for me
Reiterating that being truthful is a challenge for me

Probably why people ain't believing in me
This difficulty with honesty may be why others find it hard to trust me

Running through this tunnel, it ain't easy to see
Navigating through life is difficult and unclear

Let me carry all your trouble, just release it to me
I am willing to take on the burdens of others to help ease their pain

I been broke and shattered, I'm a fraction of me
I have been through tough times and feel like I am not whole anymore

My heart been battered savagely, this my reality see
My emotions have been hurt badly and this is my current reality

And I said honesty ain't never been this easy for me
Reiterating that being truthful is a challenge for me

Since I been broken, I present remaining pieces of me
After being hurt, I am only able to present fragmented parts of myself
