Tug of War Lyrics

[Chorus]
Devil in my ear I take my halo off
Start a timer just to see
Exactly how long I’m sinning for
Fuck an L we winning more
So I celebrate, roll it up then levitate
Green on me like a sycamore
And I don’t like to fight
So knife on me like I’m in a war
Run up, that’s ya life
I ain’t no killer, but I still ain’t sure
And she could take a hike
When she miss me, she gon' get ignored
It’s way too many women
And she wanna play this tug of war

[Verse 1]
Life on the up
Shit is just crazy because I done made it
Back on to my feet and up outta the mud
Yeah, I remember a time when I was resigned
I thought it was what it was
That there was no picking it up
But baby — Ooh, how wrong I was
It got lifted
The expression, more concise
More authentic
The depression, something light
I done lived it
I done healed it
But the pain never go away
So I concealed it
Hoping that’d kill it
[Chorus]
Devil in my ear I take my halo off
Start a timer just to see
Exactly how long I’m sinning for
Fuck an L we winning more
So I celebrate, roll it up then levitate
Green on me like a sycamore
And I don’t like to fight
So knife on me like I’m in a war
Run up, that’s ya life
I ain’t no killer, but I still ain’t sure
And she could take a hike
When she miss me, she gon' get ignored
It’s way too many women
And she wanna play this tug of war

[Verse 2]
Too fast, too fast
Was told to tippy toe-it
But was moving like the flash
The world just kept on going
But my mind was in the past
I was rolling with the punches
'Til I caught 'em, threw 'em back
Had to say, "Fuck this stress"
Everything is chaotic
But I think I love the mess
If I’m being honest
I wouldn’t have any less
I done persevered — I passed every test
Yeah the person here, really only wants the best
Ain’t no burdens here, I’m thankful to be blessed
I was immersed in fear, purpose unclear
Hurting and searching for cheer
Now I am certain and clear
And I know I'm near a version of me I revere
I don’t sip beer, but I take 4 grams to the face
Please do not make a mistake
Sometimes I simply get tired of physical space
I went from minimal cake to looking at Franks
Different numbers in the bank
And this shit will only go up
That is a must
No matter what these niggas think
[Chorus]
Devil in my ear I take my halo off
Start a timer just to see
Exactly how long I’m sinning for
Fuck an L we winning more
So I celebrate, roll it up then levitate
Green on me like a sycamore
And I don’t like to fight
So knife on me like I’m in a war
Run up, that’s ya life
I ain’t no killer, but I still ain’t sure
And she could take a hike
When she miss me, she gon' get ignored
It’s way too many women
And she wanna play this tug of war
