Half A Man - Wiz Keitown
Still taste your goodbye on my tongue
Like bitter rain, no step for love
I tell myself I'm fine
The time I'm in the break
But doubting every breath
Feels like a mistake
How do I walk away
When my shadow still wants your name
I'm here holding pieces of a love that went up in flames
How can I love you
When I don't even love who I've become
How can I give you my all
When I'm only half of some
I'm a sick and shift this burden
Go and let go of my hand
Right now, right now
I'm only half a man
Half a man
Half a man
Half a man
Half a man
And it hurts to stand
Safe moves, still break
The heartbreak cuts deep underneath cover
Cause this pain hit different
Got me feeling half dead, nicks
I used to be the king, crown heavy, throne grown
Now I'm ghost in my own tread
Sitting on this broken bone alone
Metaphors in my veins like codeine in the straight
You left me half alive, now I'm rapping to the night
I was real G, over silent like lasagna layers
But you build me back, exposed the scars
Now I'm just prayers
Half a grip, half a clip, half a heart still beating
You took the other half and left me here to retreating
I'm swimming in my thoughts, stuck to festive memories
You said forever, up forever, came with penalties
Real talk, no cap, I was built for the smoke
But you under bridging left we joking on a rope
I'm half a man baby, half a damn pain
Find a rebuild from the ruins with a shaky hand
How can I love you
When I don't even love who I've become
How can I give you my all
When I'm only half of some
I'm a sick and shift this burden
Go and let go of my hand
Right now, right now
I'm only half a man
Half a man
Half a man
Half a man
Half a man
And it hurts to stand
I used to sit success straight, now I'm chasing no mixer
Now I'm facing shadows and you feel like a fixer
Trying to fix a heart on need
Running on fumes and bad decisions
You left the tank empty
Now I'm ghost riding collisions
Safe to say I'm endangered species
A one extinct to fashion
You took the key of my chest
Left the lock in reflection
Man was your stranger
With your lipstick still stained
I wiped it all every morning
But the ghost remains
Brush, scrub, love
But the bell never rang for round two
Saddle box and memories swinging at shadows of you
But king, half a clown, crown, put it close, dinner
Tapped the building in pound, but you left the winner
Real G's moving silent, but silent screams your name
Echo in my rib cage like a bullet with no aim
I'm half a man baby, half the fire, half the flame
But the smoke still lingers, call it love's remain
I heard you moved on, found someone new
And I wish her the best but God, it kills me too
I remember you said we make it through the storm
But the rain keeps pouring and I'm barely keeping warm
Sometimes I laugh in love
But sometimes you just need someone
Half a man
How can I love you
When I don't even love who I've become
How can I give you my all
When I'm only half of some
I'm a sick and shift this burden
Go and let go of my hand
Right now, right now
I'm only half a man
