Echoes

What you know about Goin
Broke for what you believe in?/
Bein the better man when you
Know you coulda got even/
When was the last time my
Parents was proud of me/
Expect so much of myself
It take a lot outta me/
My habits be disappointing
Everybody surrounding me/
Or so it feels like
Doubters even got
Me doubting me/
I fear bein 35 still tryna pop
While my haters clowning me/
Because I’m tryna be
The man I vowed to be/
My friends don’t believe
In me anymore/
And I’m not tryna be stuck
With just any hoe/
Taylor had a baby on
Me but I never bitched/
So far the only girl I’ve
Loved I wish that’d switch/
I know I hurt her too Can’t
Say She went unscathed/
But how did I end up the one
That has to act unfazed?/
The more you go thru life
I swear the emptier you get/
I’m just mad you had to be
The One that I can’t forget/
Hook:
Pain make it so
Hard to let go/
But momma taught me always
Be the voice not the echo/
Pain make it so
Hard to let go/
But momma taught me always
Be the voice not the echo/
Echo
Echo
Always be the voice
Not the echo/
Echo
Echo
It’s probably best
For me to let go/
Friends come
And Go/
I’m at the point where I don’t
Care who walkin out the doe/
Y’all keep sayin I’m doin
Well but what I got to show/
But I guess Not movin at all is
Way worse Than just movin slow/
Jacob had a son
On the kid/
Wish I could say it didn’t
Make me distant but it did/
He got a family now and
I don’t want to interrupt that/
Me chasin hoes ain’t healthy For
His home I wish he’d trust that/
I can tell
GOD testing me/
Been tryna get this Spanish Girl to
Cheat and have bomb sex with me/
I should stop approaching
The situation aggressively/
Or wisen up and see that
That’s only the devil temptin me/
But —
Dominican girls
Got that flame/
That’s no excuse
I’m who to blame/
Gotta live for me tho fuck
What other people say/
People say they worry bout me
But Not worried nuff to Pray/
Hook:
Pain make it so
Hard to let go/
But momma taught me always
Be the voice not the echo/
Pain make it so
Hard to let go/
But momma taught me always
Be the voice not the echo/
Echo
Echo
Always be the voice
Not the echo/
Echo
Echo
It’s probably best
For me to let go/
