I Rather Lyrics by NATE

2016

[Verse 1]
This room is getting filled with tension
I can’t be drawn to, false magnetism
All those memories, pent up depression
Go ahead and let it out, won’t mind the aggression

[Pre-Chorus]
We both made our mistakes
That we viewed as perfect ways
And no matter what we say
Dawn’s upon us, I’m on my way

[Chorus]
I rather be the one to leave
I rather be the one to lose
I rather be the one to set you free
I rather be the one to choose what’s best for me and you
I know, I know

[Verse 2]
In the heart of the city but I ain’t looking for no love now
Ain’t need pills to pop, happy that it stopped
Weighin’ heavy on my mind I knew I had enough now
Boomboclat rastaman buss up a pound
Square fumigated as I just bounce around
Chose this so I should not regret it
Might as well baptize my emotions and get wasted
I chose this
Was aware of the consequences
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
I rather you not worry about me
