Powerful words. Especially the last five lines. . Posted @withregram • @aagwiththeeyes_5 Sentiments are great, until I call that bluff/ Can’t get the bat off your shoulder, when I ask what’s up/ No need in wondering, now I just laugh at the/ Way I thought things would be, guess y’all were masking up/ Couldn’t see the real, no wonder I can’t feel/ Numb to y’all’s emotions, now I’m numb to myself/ Dumb to y’all’s devotion, like I was dumb to my health/ Did things for those, that went unappreciated/ Found my place alone, no need to seek some favor/ Quiet places, uninspired when I sight these faces/ Asking myself, why’d I even write these faces/ Forging connections, instead of checking for invectives/ Seeing affection, turned to an infection/ Seeing my inflection, turned to rejection/ Got used to the sensation, the severed connections/ Nothing to rebuild, just a void to question/ #aaronglover #sentiments #16bars #part1 #80bars #lyricist #lyricism #lyricstogo #writersofinstagram #nycwriter #queens #thingsmisterhustleusedtodo #hiphop #rap https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIuZ0hJJyD/?igshid=1ddzsoq43875b

The truth, for the sake of those friends, what’s the use/ Because if we can’t be honest, I want nothing to do with you/ It’s not a hard road to choose, my actions make it easy to prove/ Gained guidance while unconscious, until my decision struck the same groove/ Nothing to think out, or debate, nothing left to choose/ No appeals to make, as to why you’d do/ Those things you’d do, or act as if/ I don’t exist, when it’d be easier to leave/ I used to ask what I’d need, to do, to prove devotion/ Or show dedication, at times forsaking deprivation/ Because I’d rather be there for you, when I’m able to/ Than be who would never choose to, or try and confuse you/ I didn’t send mixed signals, even when you constantly did/ I used to laugh it off, because I didn’t give a shit/ It was more important to be around you, than it was to get into it/ I was happier when I was around you, but your sentiment wasn’t getting it/ #aaronglover #sentiments #16bars #part5 #80bars #lyricist #lyricism #lyricstogo #writersofinstagram #nycwriter #queens #thingsmisterhustleusedtodo #hiphop #rap (at Queens, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIRTk3H1lr/?igshid=2luvk3v6n9he

So nothing surfaces, when you ask what’s up with them/ Attempts at deep conversation, lead to consternation/ I had constant patience, until a few ligaments came loose/ Gained a few screws, in more ways than one, the ones I had to choose/ Combined with my times being a patient, made it so I had to move/ Away from the things I loved, the people I embraced/ No reciprocation, didn’t seem worth the wait/ To see if they’d be different, when they were already showing me they’d be the same/ It’s a shame, I learned to embrace and not be so standoffish/ Only to realize, I was in the midst of repeating, what my misplaced trust would get/ Dealt with it with family, dealt with it with friends/ Dealt with it with enemies, got welts that won’t mend/ Replaying in my mind, is this really the end/ Figuring out how to say goodbye, concerned with who I’d offend/ As my reticence lost me even more, couldn’t really fend/ Off, those who chose sides without listening, guess I couldn’t bend/ #aaronglover #sentiments #16bars #part4 #80bars #lyricist #lyricism #lyricstogo #writersofinstagram #nycwriter #queens #thingsmisterhustleusedtodo #hiphop #rap https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIRKgCnA9-/?igshid=oppj4a6zg83e

Nothing left to score, my mind and my body sore/ Ripped apart, feeling heartless, what was I supposed to do with smartness/ While sparkless, no inspiration, no motivation, stuck being vacant/ With no vacation, more of a vagrant, than they’d understand or see/ Not realizing, with my words, to see is to believe/ And for me, to screed is to bereave, tears providing the ink/ Pen’s to make me bleed, missing parts of me, I’d just jot on the page/ Embracing being bipolar, I stopped blotting out rage/ And starting showing my age, and a wisdom to match/ So when I vision these acts, I flip to the next scene/ Where nothing gets recorded, and bluffing ain’t important/ Where instinct takes hold, and moves aren’t done for sporting/ Tired of playing games, with those who don’t know what it is to win/ Skipping steps, it’s all just a pretense to them/ Building blocks, what are those, maybe I’m getting under their skin/ I don’t care, honestly, it’s all surface with them/ #aaronglover #sentiments #16bars #part3 #80bars #lyricist #lyricism #lyricstogo #writersofinstagram #nycwriter #queens #thingsmisterhustleusedtodo #hiphop #rap https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIRA-qnovX/?igshid=yd6zsgmt429q

Watching how folks would avoid the questions, answers I had to guess with/ Went to the death switch, no anger or feeling breathless/ Learned to be adept with a deathwish, never made them feel neglected/ Yet, their prospectives, never matched with my perspective/ Could see I was headed, in a different direction/ Wanted to be down, but never when it goes down/ Loved the way I’d write, but not the way it sounds/ Could never embrace my truth, had to evade with their moves/ I learned not to chase, they’re gonna do what they do/ Even if every one of them leaves, no need to trace their moves/ Nothing to follow after, just made the happenings a hollow chapter/ Never would’ve thought it’d be at the time, but I was always behind/ Behind where I should be, behind where I could be/ If I were given a chance, to be more than a reason, why we should be/ Separate, when it matters most, went back to being ghost/ Just like before, when they departed, before you finished hitting the floor/ #aaronglover #sentiments #16bars #part2 #80bars #lyricist #lyricism #lyricstogo #writersofinstagram #nycwriter #queens #thingsmisterhustleusedtodo #hiphop #rap https://www.instagram.com/p/CIIQ20OHPW2/?igshid=isppqzq4nnfj
