nix one - if i should lose you (produced by kas3)

in rotation: joe budden - the padded room

my mate kas3, who is one of the most talented beatsmiths i know, recently got some life breathed into him which resulted in his triumphant return to the beatmaking world. two nights ago, he put together this crazy, nice beat which in turn breathed light into me. with that being said, i took it upon myself to come up with some fitting rhymes to compliment it. download the finished product here. the appropriate information for this short track can be found below. props to kas3 for bringing that dope shit. welcome back homie.

samples:
aretha franklin - this bitter earth
bill evans trio - how deep is the ocean

lyrics:
yo, i'm just sitting here thinking about how much i fucking love you and hate at the same time. it's doing my fucking head in so just hear me out...

yo it seems that i've gone from i love you to take five,
to unmoved and dazed like i must move and aim high,
to fuck you i hate life! to trust proves it's pain right?
i'm stuck boo, if i don't suck you, i ain't high,
once you displayed light, i'd take a deep breath,
from krush groove to stage-fright, our fate was preset,
and your taste was deepened when i craved your sweet scent,
it just proved my brain's site was stained with each step,
my flame, the reason i lived life - enjoyed it,
when lit right, shit you were just like some poison,
i spent mad cash so you'd live like a spoilt bitch,
plus i loved how you always did like your joints licked,
this time my point is - yeah we're possibly through,
although you claim you always did what i wanted to do,
but honest to kool herc, that was the problem with you,
when i wanted to move, you were psychologically cruel,
pompous and rude, dominant too,
so tell me, is it responsible to even bother with you?
what do i do? should i just swallow the truth?
or abolish my youth like what a shotty'd do?
honestly boo, you've been playing with my soul,
by following you i thought i was taking the high road,
not saying we're dipoles or as stable as time's flow,
but because of your fumes, i'm unable to side-scroll,
changing all my goals is the way to disengage,
i hate to think and say our relationship was fake,
you were often seedless but still laced with different strains,
just a crazy chick to date that created disarray,
so take it as you may past the jaws of your kind,
even though i miss the laughs and stories we scribed,
so i'm sorry that i said my heart was yours when it's mine,
and that if i should lose you, the stars'd fall from the skies...

...and that's it. you know, i feel like i've gotten everything i wanted to get off my chest, and i guess that means that it's time for me to make some sacrifices if i want to get somewhere in life and i can't do it with you by my side, so i guess this is goodbye. i'm sorry. goodbye...
