Mike Broadway - Defenses (feat. Liam) Lyrics

Everything I have I earned
I went hard got through the mud
Been through war came out untouched
Did way more than I thought I could
Sweetness lacking in my blood
I feel momentum piling up
F*ck niggas stay out the way
Pure destruction of my trust
See I know why
You keep love so close and don't go out
You get emotional and try to show out
You can trust no one and don't it know why
Don't wanna look inside but wanna out
Don't wanna lose things that make you so proud
But sometimes you gotta lose pride in order to grow

At I needed you, yeah
As you watched me drift away
When I thought I needed you
God put me in my place

So I can't look to somebody, when God put that load on me
So I won't try to trust nobody, when God put they trust in me

Gotta drop my defenses sometimes
Gotta drop my defenses sometimes yeah, yeah
Gotta drop my defenses sometimes yeah
Gotta drop my defenses sometimes

Gotta drop my defenses
People try to catch ya slippin'
Situations getting hard, niggas gettin' a lil different
It ain't really nothing to me though
I get a whole wave start it like a movie whoa
You hang with niggas and do what they doing
I'm with Yah so you already know what I'm doing
I'm praises up with every breath
Don't mention names around me, like I need them
I keep my D up, like a shell
Fences all around me, Denzell
Get them out your life if it's dead
Don't waste no time, it's a gift
Contribute to your life you the time
If it's in you then you gotta know it

At I needed you, yeah
As you watched me drift away
At I needed you, yeah
As you watched me drift away
When I thought I needed you
God put me in my place

So I can't look to somebody, when God put that load on me
So I won't try to trust nobody, when God put they trust in me

Gotta drop my defenses sometimes
