LOST IN THE ECHO

Yeah, yo.

You were that, foundation, never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken, so conditioned I could never let go.
Then sorrow, then sickness, then the shock when you flip it on me.
So hollow, so vicious, so afraid I couldn't let myself see.
That I could never be held, back up, no, I'll hold myself.
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well, forget the rest, let them know my hell.
Damn, I'm back yep, my soul ain't sell, kept respect up the vets stay their.
Let the best be the tale they tell, that I was there saying.

And these promises broken, deep below, each word, gets lost in the echo.
So, one last lie, I can see through, this time I, finally let you, go, go, go.

Test my will, test my heart, let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up.
Y'all go hard, I go smart, how's it working out for y'all in the back, huh?
I've seen that, frustration, been crossed cross, then lost and told no.
And I've come back, unshaken, let down, I've lived and let go.
So, you can let it be known, I don't hold back, I hold my own.
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned, I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone.
I can't fall back, I came too far, hold myself up and love my scars.
Let the bells ring wherever they are, 'cause I was there saying.

And these promises broken, deep below, each word, gets lost in the echo.
So, one last lie, I can see through, this time I, finally let you, go, go, go, go!

No, you can tell 'em all now, I don't back up, I don't back down.
I don't fold up and I don't bow, I don't roll over, don't know how.
I don't care, where the enemies are, can't be stopped, all I know, go hard.
Won't forget how, I got this far and every time, saying.

And these promises broken, deep below, each word, gets lost in the echo.
So, one last lie, I can see through, this time I, finally let you.
Go, go, go (go, go, go), go, go, go (go, go, go)!
