Don't You Dare Lyrics

[Hook: Julian]
Angel in my eyes
You can't fly when wings are broken
You must show what goes unspoken
Don't you dare tell me I didn't try
When I just wanted peace of mind
You can't carry them much longer
You must know that love is stronger
Don't you dare fail to remember who you are

[Verse 1: Sommy Lovell]
Look me in my face and tell me
Stop telling me what's for me
Don't give me all them stories
How can you throw away everything?
How you gon' ignore me?
You'll never find another, told your brother
Leave you this message when you get home
'Cus I'm steady trying my luck but it won't be for long
I'm singing songs just to get through these walls
But I'm having withdrawals
And I love you but that's nothing to you
You always ran away from it
Watch as you and I plummet, from the summit
I failed to collect the pieces
You used to boast all my features
What happened?
I did all I could to make sure you were good
But what happened?
I've expired in potency
What I'd do so you notice me
I was fighting family for us
Poppa had seen the skin
I saw gold that made them support us
Yet with going through hell
I saw a light when I gazed upon you
Nobody could pawn, nobody was on you
Nobody could stop us, knock us
Off balance, no malice
Remember feeling those lips for the second first time
You resign when the going gets tough
I decline, I was calling yours bluff
You're the coldest but a diamond in rough
Could've poured you all I've got as if that's enough
But darling enough
Can you let me in for once?
Can I finally quit the stunts?
Or are you hiding something from me?
Did you find another bitch for you?
Or think you found the answer
When you say I flipped the switch on you?
We ain't even scratch surface
Tomorrow transcended the road they got us riding
It's probably karma coming out of hiding
I can't accept that it's just you deciding
And if you don't look me in my f*cking face
I swear to God
I can't believe you, I never deceived you
I can't even read you nigga, f*ck you nigga
I'm sorry
I might just drown just like that shit that you're rapping
I might just **** to see what happens
I'm not a prisoner of this moment
But even though you think it's not written
Boy don't you ever question all that I've given
My love will last a lifetime

[Hook: Julian]
Angel in my eyes
You can't fly when wings are broken
You must show what goes unspoken
Don't you dare tell me I didn't try
When I just wanted peace of mind
You can't carry them much longer
You must know that love is stronger
Don't you dare fail to remember who you are

[Verse 2: Sommy Lovell]
They're tripping over them wings
That you seemed to have grown
You seem to have nothing in mind but your own Seems you think you have it all figured
But this is far from it
You're still the seed from my stomach
Although you're acting is seamless
The cleanest I've made your quarters
Meanest I've made your dishes
I mean it's switches, my skeleton's aching for you
And for your brothers, your sister follows
From every step you're taking
But this new road you're treading
I don't see your purpose making
What you're deeming as your purpose
As if you have a calling I can not figure
How you figure my accomplishments
Your father and I been trying to show you
Where the knowledge is
Compliments forcing your confidence beyond my lectures
I guess it's the time
Where you just become your own director
But don't even get started with you taking off from classes
You'll only regret it after every birthday that passes
You'll only remember after who you're loving surpasses
I heard who you're loving's a decent woman
When you gon' bring 'em so I can assess it, address it
You used to test it everyday on me like I could press it
But I don't know where you're going these days
I hearken back to overseas when you ain't know of these ways I'm going back in time
I'm selfish, I felt it
I've dealt with more in my life than you can imagine
I've shaped your future, forsaken my passion
We've taken some lashings, I take it you're thankful
I just haven't heard you say in a while
You don't know I pray that you don't see your grave in the wild
I don't know the last time you told me you love me
I need to hear it, you're just like him
Damn if you hate comparison
I could relate your arrogance
Even know journey that's right beside you
But who am I kidding
You couldn't understand from my shoes
Should've have seen it coming to my way
From back in high school
I'm sure you would own it
And even though you think it's not written
Boy don't you ever question all that I've given
My love will last a lifetime

[Hook: Julian]
Angel in my eyes
You can't fly when wings are broken
You must show what goes unspoken
Don't you dare tell me I didn't try
When I just wanted peace of mind
You can't carry them much longer
You must know that love is stronger
Don't you dare fail to remember who you are

[Verse 3: Sommy Lovell]
I thought I stayed in line applying your value
Said to not settle for what they allow you
I can never grow out of you, I'm proud of you
And I am only better by way of you
And if I leave, I'll only take a day or two
It's recognizable
The margin's sizable
But I haven't been adequate
Inhaling all I can to remind who I had it with
The right lines that I'd say to my lifeline
But know it's reciprocated, you'll last a lifetime
You'll last a lifetime
