I Thought You Were Fate Lyrics

[Verse 1: Oddisee]
I had to be this way
We don't vibe anymore
Tension in the room, couldn't breathe, had to leave this space
I'll survive on my own
Only now could I take a look back on relief I made
Took a [?]
Hard choice when I heard your soft voice telling me to stay
Had to [flee?] out, yea I had to be out
It's a big city, not enough for us to split it
I can make a living anywhere that I can visit
Didn't know it 'til I packed the rental with the vision
That became reality the more that you were distant
Saw you as a nest, now I see you as a net
Cause you saw me as a catch, now I see you as a prison
Of my own making, [?] made it, now I'm different
Had to turn an is into an isn't

[Chorus: Olivier St. Louis and Oddisee]
I thought you were fate
I was wrong all along
I thought you were fate
My mistake, had to make
I thought you were fate
It ain't it, just pretend
I thought you were fate

[Verse 2: Oddisee]
I don't read my stars Though I came from the source
Not a plot in a chart, to unlock and unleash my cause
Not a game on a board
Read a card, see a flaw, now it's law
My belief, my loss
I ain't playing in a sport
Made a bet, played the fool, nothing left but to beat my odds
Yea of course, I'ma breach my flaws
Had to come back from a few things
This is not a new thing
Strapping up the boots with [?] shoestring
I think I can move things, with my, mind
Like my hands and my feet, no magic to produce things
Finding it amusing when you in control
And we say let's get the bread, we got a way to get a roll
I ain't with a few things, writing in a stone in a top
And I only break the mold when [?]

[Chorus: Olivier St. Louis and Oddisee]
I thought you were fate
I was wrong all along
I thought you were fate
My mistake, had to make
I thought you were fate
It ain't it, just pretend
I thought you were fate
