A LESSON OF FUTILITY

from BROWARD COUNTY (Part 2) by ARONE

/

about

You know... I been meaning to get this off my chest for a while now
See there was a time where I allowed you to get the best of me
There was a time where you made me feel less of myself like I wasn't worth anything
Always accommodating to your benefits tssk...
But now that I recognize my worth (I don't need you, I don't need you nah)
I'm over you and yo bullshit

Ah! I find it funny when you take
A look at certain things
Reminiscin about a lesson of futility
You always made it about you
It never came to me
Despite the weight on my shoulders
You carry selfishly

Ya never loved me
You just loved what I could do, who knew
Ya never saw me
You just saw what I could prove, it's true
Wit no direction, second guessin
What a test, then bet
I gave ya all of me
And you just gave me less

It's over. I'm focused. You know it
Don't need you. I don't want it
Ain't lookin. I spoke it. That's honest
I ain't sorry. Believe it. I'm off ya
I cut you off. It's needed. I mean it
You offered. I promise you

It's over. I'm focused. You know it
Don't need you. I don't want it
Ain't lookin. I spoke it. That's honest
I ain't sorry. Believe it. I'm off ya
I cut you off. It's needed. I mean it
You offered. I promise you

Ah! See it's funny when you take
A look at certain things
Resolution about a lesson of futility
All I did was give
And you drained all my energy
It's sad to think that I was nothin of reality

Ya never felt for me
You felt for what I had, how sad
I got myself together
You stuck in the past, and with that
You compared me to my worst days
Worst ways, dark times, no shame

The audacity of some things
The audacity of some ways
And ya let me sulk in my pain
Only time ya ever really wanted me
Is when I'm lookin good for yo name
You know the image of course
And back and forth, ya let it be known
Ya only lookin for what I can provide
Cause deep inside, ya ex ting
Had to screw things, and ya feel like
You entitled to it all, a lie
Who? How is that true?
Funny how ya feel like
Ya got it together too
Always be the first
To criticize and chastise
But I know misery has
A disdain for the truth
Ya claim the lies
Such as ride or die
But tell me how can ya ride
When the past never died
Suck up the pride
That's why ya bitter inside
And maybe later in time
You'll realize...

I promise you...
It's over. I'm focused. You know it
Don't need you. I don't want it
Ain't lookin. I spoke it. That's honest.
I ain't sorry. Believe it. I'm off ya.
I cut you off. It's needed. I mean it.
You offered. I promise you

So I just want you to know
If it wasn't clear, if you didn't comprehend it correctly
If you really didn't get it, you're a lesson of futility
