Empathy

Mark Edmond, if you didn't know Never, never know what people's going through Be joking and laughing, so it's hard to tell what's true Plus, if you're the go-to, any problems they're calling you Forgetting, that you're only human, too Ever had so much on your mind? Not suicidal, but wouldn't mind dying I been there, all these nosey ass people acting like they care Can't wait to run their mouth, watch how fast they share Keeping it real'll probably be my downfall Between that, and showing love'll be a tough call It'll never be enough for some 'til you're left with none And, they're on to the next one So inconsiderate Wait 'til the day of, to ask for help to pay the rent Be coming through still Then, next day, it's their phone bill It's always something Complaining, but can't nobody ever tell them nothing Losing friends over what they owe They think it's about the money, when it's really about the principle Won't expecting nothing in return But, since you said you got me, let's see if you gon' keep your word Be surprised if they do Rarely in my feelings, shit, it's really nothing new Then, they got the nerve to call me selfish Or, act like I'm the one that's acting different Like, it's my fault, they're in their predicament Say anything, to justify their actions, play victim When all you did was uplift them Meanwhile, got problems of my own Want empathy, not sympathy, can use some time alone No telling who's who, will pull a switcheroo Seen it happen with family, and friends from grade school In my face, it's all love and respect But behind my back, niggas be plotting on my ex Ignoring calls and text, y'all can't be serious Then, see me out, and got a bunch of excuses Or, they be acting like nothing happened Edmond EP, I gotta make adjustments Moving on, letting go of grudges But I'd, be a fool, if I didn't make adjustments All and all, still want y'all to do what's best for y'all But, at least communicate, so I know how to operate Seeing now, most relationships, ran their course A genuine bond, something that can't be forced But, I'm not mad, or out here wishing bad Knowing one day, I'll look back, and I'll be glad But, wishing that I would've seen it sooner Apologies to self I, gotta do better The results, when you're loyal to a fault So much, love in your heart Be, overplaying your part And, still they want you looking out Assuming that you even got that much in your account Meanwhile, got problems of my own Want empathy, not sympathy, can use some time alone Can use some time alone Want empathy, not sympathy, can use some time alone Can use some time alone Want empathy, not sympathy, can use some time alone
