​shoulder Lyrics by redveil

learn 2 swim

2022

[Chorus: Mekdelawit]
Sit and watch my youth wash away
Wish that I could say that I know things will be okay
Look back over my shoulder now (Look back, look back, look back, look back)
Wish you could've stayed
But I'll make do with the pain, uh
I'll make do with the pain, pain, uh
(Look back, look back, look back, look back)

[Verse 1: redveil]
Alright, look
I ain't looking over my shoulder, I keep my blood around
Keep my temperament colder, don't need a hundred rounds
Power structure gon' see my brother and try to gun him down
Learn to maneuver, we swimming, we never drown
Progression never came easy as hollow tips splitting faces
I face regret for my formative years
The debt that I hold is close to my heart still
Nevеr let my heart spill
A nigga nevеr got to play, but played my part still
I earned the buying power, but I kept my cart still
'Cause all I know is how to get it off my own will
Analytical from the pain felt
But ignorance is bliss, I wish that doubt was in my heart still

[Bridge: redveil]
But if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know
And if I find you gon' switch for a grip, let me go
Said if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know
And if I find you gon' switch, if I—
Said if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know
And if I find you gon' switch for a grip, let me go
Said if you finding a fix to that shit, let me know
And if I find you gon' switch, if I find

[Chorus: Mekdelawit]
Sit and watch my youth wash away
Wish that I could say that I know things will be okay
Look back over my shoulder now (Look back, look back, look back, look back)
Wish you could've stayed
But I'll make do with the pain, uh
I'll make do with the pain, pain, uh
(Look back, look back, look back, look back)

[Verse 2: redveil]
Looking back, I'm a piece of shit for not picking that phone up
Wish I gave you a chance to see how my ideas grown up
Long time since we spoke like the phone screen Motorola
Long time I evaded, it took a minute to own up
They said fame was a reach, then I'm dislocating my shoulder
Now I'm spilling my thoughts and I'm looking over my shoulder
Niggas say I inspire 'em even though they way older
Everything feel surreal, I never was the appeal
And suddenly I'm defeating the jagged edge of the boulder
And you ain't see the potential blossom that I had just shown you
But that's out of my hands and my legacy, I'm controlling
So when I'm in your position, then I can show 'em a soldier, uh, yeah
So when I'm in your position, then I can show 'em a soldier
Them vibrations is cold, but I know the world even colder

[Chorus: Mekdelawit]
Sit and watch my youth wash away
Wish that I could say that I know things will be okay
Look back over my shoulder now (Look back, look back, look back, look back)
Wish you could've stayed
But I'll make do with the pain, uh
I'll make do with the pain, pain, uh

[Outro]
We're sorry
