T.I.V.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gotta keep my focus
Tell me when this shit all end
Will I still be unnoticed
They got these secret feelings
The unspoken truth
I was drug dealing
Hanging with the broken youth
All my respect is over due
Ain't showing love baby
'Cause I think I'm over you
I'd rather be alone then deal with the shit we goin through
Searching for my zone
I don't think I really got a clue
I wanna pop I close my eyes and see it in my sleep
When this drop they feel my rhymes when I preach
For my brother who done died I need another drink
For my brother who done died I need another drink
Baby steps turn to leaps
Progress and repeat
How you gon' get blessed catching Z's
I confess on the beat
Nothing less nothing neat
Tryna see a check for my grief
Baby steps turn to leaps
Progress and repeat
How you gon' get blessed catching Z's
I confess on the beat
Nothing less nothing neat
Tell 'em no rest till the peak
Gotta monetize
Gotta monetize
Be close to the goats that you idolize
Been feeling undermined
Spittin' these quotes look you in ya eyes
If ya feel me turn ya speakers up
Yeah I know they got some need for us
The game lacking little skill and grace
Tryna contemplate who be real or fake
Sitting back and let the pressure rise
Serving sacks me myself and I
Cause these niggas quick to testify
I took a risk for them extra fries
Still never seen a whole plate
City never seen a gold plaque
Shawty off the xannies and the prozac
Came from dark days now the show packed
When we part ways I don't phone back
You was in the picture just to distract
Sippin' liquor tryna detach
Yeah I know I'm gifted don't need ya feedback
Writing scriptures serving tree sacks
Used to trap out Teresa's house
Rapping on the stage with the speakers loud
I'm on a wave and I need it now
I told you before I guess I'll tell you again
Stuck in that moment and sending condolences
I can't let anyone in
Treat me like I'm ya homie but act like a phony
You do not want me to win

Through the mirror of my mind
In my thoughts, I often reflect on our relationship
Time after time
Repeatedly, I revisit our past experiences
I see reflections of you and me
My memories are full of thoughts about us together
Reflections of
Memories of
The way life used to be
How much better our life was before
The love you took from me
The love that you stole from my life
Oh, I'm all alone now
I'm alone and lonely since you left
No love to shield me
I have no love to protect or comfort me
Trapped in a world
I feel stuck in a distorted reality that you left behind
That's a distorted reality
My view of the world is warped without your love
Happiness you took from me
You stole my happiness by leaving me
And left me alone
You abandoned me and I'm by myself
With only memories
All I have left are memories of us together
Through the mirror of my mind
In my thoughts, I often reflect on our relationship
Through these tears that I'm crying
While crying, I look back on our time together
Reflects a hurt I can't control
My reflection shows the pain that I can't manage
'Cause although you're gone
Even though you're not here with me anymore
I keep holding on
I still cling to the memories of us
To the happy times
To the moments when we were happy together
Oh when you were mine
When you were still with me
As I peer through the window
As I look into my past
Of lost time
Of the time that has passed
Looking over my yesterdays
Reflecting on my past experiences
And all the love I gave all in vain
All my love was given to you for nothing
(All the love) All the love
All the love that I had to give
(All the tears) All the tears
All the crying and sadness I experienced
That I've tasted
That I have endured
All in vain
All for nothing
Through the hollow of my tears
Through my tears I see
I see a dream that's lost
I see a lost dream
From the hurt
Because of the pain
That you have caused
That you inflicted on me
Everywhere I turn
In every direction I look
Seems like everything I see
Everything I observe
Reflects the love that used to be
Reminds me of the love that we shared
In you I put
I entrusted you with
All my faith and trust
My complete faith and trust
Right before my eyes
I witnessed
My world has turned to dust
My life has fallen apart
After all the nights
Despite all the nights
I sat alone and wept
I sat alone and cried
Just a handful of promises
All I have left are a few promises
Are all that's left of loving you
That's all that remains of the love I had for you
