(Ayy, yoh)
Everything I built, turned to dust
Five months, Cash Kunta, tell me why?
I saw the vision, I was painting the room
Buying little clothes, thinking 'bout the bloom
You looked in my eyes, told me I was the one
I was raising a child, thought the war was won
Five months I was living in a beautiful lie
Five months of love, now I'm watching it die
Oh, the pain cuts deep like a blade in the night
You told me it was mine, but you never felt right
Five months of trust, now it’s shattered on the floor
I don’t even know who you are anymore
Cash Kunta, you’re bleeding, you’re losing your mind
Left all the hope and the memories behind
Now I’m in the bottle, drowning the shame
I’m calling out shadows, I’m screaming your name
The drugs in my system, the smoke in the air
I’m looking for peace but there’s nobody there
Mayo, this heavy heart is too much to bear
I was just a pawn in your game of despair
Oh, the pain cuts deep like a blade in the night
You told me it was mine, but you never felt right
Five months of trust, now it’s shattered on the floor
I don’t even know who you are anymore
Cash Kunta, you’re bleeding, you’re losing your mind
Left all the hope and the memories behind
Was it ever real? Or just a cruel scene?
I’m haunted by the ghost of a child that was never seen
I’m falling down, I’m breaking apart
It’s a long, dark road for a damaged heart
I’m trying to wake up from this nightmare of gold
Stories of betrayal that never get old
I’m walking the streets, but I’m lost in the haze
Spending my nights in a toxic, bitter daze
Oh, the pain cuts deep like a blade in the night
You told me it was mine, but you never felt right
Five months of trust, now it’s shattered on the floor
I don’t even know who you are anymore
Cash Kunta, you’re bleeding, you’re losing your mind
Left all the hope and the memories behind
Yeah, five months gone
Just a lesson learned in the dark
(Yoh, Cash Kunta)
I’m moving on, but the scar stays
Still here, still breathing, but broken
(Ayy)
