Only Once by Lestor Funkopop

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if being soft
counts for my weakness
Sometimes I'm quick to forgive
my patience's tedious

Level my head,
grounded like a rooted tree
but my trust it's earned,
convened by your loyalty

Break my loyalty once
you won't get second chance
So keep your stance
with your dull romances
I'm just fed up with the pain
that I feel
Too trusting they steal
reaping all the benefits I provide them

Gun cocked I'm ready again
losing my friends
broken up to the bitter end.
I promise you this is only the
time you get to see the real me
cause I cut you off of my life
you wont see me

[Chorus]
Aint get me twice
only get me once
Aint get me twice
only get me once

Aint get me twice
only get me once
Just a one track
one mind
mutha fucker I'm him

[Verse 2]
Just another day
all these bitches bold
Just a summer's day
but these people cold

Walking like they have me but
it's that true through
do they really have me though?
they dont have me ? No

Bet you been wondering how
I keep my brain sane
through these trials and errors
these lesson's ingrained
building up my walls around me
like a membrane
keep talking your shit
proving me you're insane

Come around once
think you got me now
come around twice
breaking silence how?

Keep up this narrative
that you got about me
So let me be
while you sulk in your debris

Walking the same path
people wanna cheat
be more discreet,
Be smart with what you retain
be more sustain
with yourself cause it aint
none of my business
Talkin about
other bitches and other mistress


[Bridge]
It's just all the same
I'm just too far gone
Reaching for the wheel
making all my runs
Can't waste all my time
thinking about the past
wounds heal fast
Strong enough to outlast you
