West Hook - Delilah (feat. Youmadbud) Lyrics

Yeah look I be tryna dash like lightning
I don't understand why my vices keep biting
Wearing on my soul
But I keep fighting
I get knocked down I'm the opposite of Tyson
Where I gonna go
Back on my own
Sick temptations cuddle with my soul
Shacked up with her yeah Delilah
You were my love
Well only kind of
How come I only hate you when the lights up
Tearing my love down you would hold me
Chain to my shackles weight on me
Gave up the price of my soul for a screen
Now I pray every second hoping that I'm free
Looking for a light only wish I had three
But I turn back to her anyways yeah Delilah
You were my love
Well only kind of
How come I only hate you when the lights up

Lights off I'm a different human being
Sinked in the ocean lost between the scenes
Walked out feeling all disgusted
Burned in this heat caused by my greed
Trapped in this locked up castle
No way out though latched myself low
Lights on back to my Lord
Feeling all skinned knowing I sinned
Huh win no I said sin
Thought people out here feel what I've sinned
Thought people out here been in this skin
Though these teens out here seem pinned
I've been sitting on this throne seat
No lit candles it's all me
No lit castles it should be
Lights on everyone around sees
Jail door everyone around bleeds
Oh yeah
Relations ruined castle burning throne is turning
Uh yeah
New found victor silent winner deadly sinner
But hey

Yeah look I be tryna dash like lightning
I don't understand why my vices keep biting
Wearing on my soul
But I keep fighting
I get knocked down I'm the opposite of Tyson
Where I gonna go
Back on my own
Sick temptations cuddle with my soul
Shacked up with her yeah Delilah
You were my love
Well only kind of
How come I only hate you when the lights up
Tearing my love down you would hold me
Chain to my shackles weight on me
Gave up the price of my soul for a screen
Now I pray every second hoping that I'm free
Looking for a light only wish I had three
But I turn back to her anyways yeah Delilah
You were my love
Well only kind of
How come I only hate you when the lights up

What you wanna do with a fresh black young boy like me
I don't know why you pulled through
But I saw that
So take a seat
Look you caught me in a fleshy moment
When I saw the world in view was impressed upon it
And even being up in school puts some stress up on it
But I'm a young black man so the stereos on it
And I'm not talking about the radio even though it's bumpin oppression
Like men are playas and women should be dancing on the pole like
Get it all hot get it all hot
Please stop
My spirits too weak it'll crack on the spot
On the dot drop the needle
Swear you need to hear this record
God I'm sorry that Delilah and I were even together
Pains me to say it but I feel like there are moments that I miss
Addictive cycle to depression can be hard to quit it
Have a brother that I'm teaching so guilt comes with it
Have to try and teach him lessons with my gift to spit it
God I hate to be the villain so I pray that I can live without maintaining this percentage
Of me messing up and coming back and messing up and coming back
I really want to take the extra measures keep my soul intact
I'm running out of ways to say it
I was struggling just tryna make it out of boyhood and really be a man

Yeah look I be tryna dash like lightning
I don't understand why my vices keep biting
Wearing on my soul
But I keep fighting
I get knocked down I'm the opposite of Tyson
Where I gonna go
Back on my own
Sick temptations cuddle with my soul
Shacked up with her yeah Delilah
You were my love
Well only kind of
How come I only hate you when the lights up
Tearing my love down you would hold me
Chain to my shackles weight on me
Gave up the price of my soul for a screen
Now I pray every second hoping that I'm free
Looking for a light only wish I had three
But I turn back to her anyways yeah Delilah
You were my love
Well only kind of
How come I only hate you when the lights up
