Rico Xyy - Catharsis

{intro:}
Aye
Illkay
I never needed you
As a matter of fact, i don’t need nobody
Yeah, yeah, yeah

{verse 1:}
Look
I disregarded what they said, and put myself first
I realized to love someone else, had to love myself first
I started letting people believe what they wanna believe
I’ll never let them see that weak side of me they been wanting see
Got real reclusе cuz my nikes the only ones that chеck for me
I don’t get involved in shit no more, unless there’s a check for me
They be so envious, tasteless and so bitter
I had to plus size on ‘em, be so bigger
You never loved me how you said, just wanna have sex with me
No boxing but i k.o niggas, might hit the referee
That manipulative shit in casket, it’s dead to me
How i feel right now, one wrong move will get you blasted, don’t step to me

{pre-chorus:}
This the catharsis, to protect yourself gotta be heartless
Uh, i been trying my hardest to maintain my mentality regardless yeah
This the catharsis, to protect yourself gotta be heartless
Uh, i been trying my hardest to maintain my mentality regardless

{chorus:}
Yea i know, yea i know it’ll eat you up if you don’t let it out
But i don’t and think i’d rather thug it out alone and sweat it out
And if im being honest right now, i ain’t nowhere near who i use to be
‘cuz i’m too far along on the road to who, i’m soon to be
Yea i know, yea i know it’ll eat you up if you don’t let it out
But i don’t and think i’d rather thug it out alone and sweat it out
And if im being honest right now, i ain’t nowhere near who i use to be
‘cuz i’m too far along on the road to who, i’m soon to be

{verse 2:}
They’ll never thank me for the shit i did
But they ain’t even thank the man who died for our sins
Busy thinkin’, “how could we get under rico’s skin?”
You’ll never get the benefit of doubt ever again
They be so ungrateful, the vision be so painful
Tryna keep it together, and stack up my paper
Even tho’ that shit held up, by one staple
When i said leave me alone, i ain’t mean betrayal

{pre-chorus:}
This the catharsis, to protect yourself gotta be heartless
Uh, i been trying my hardest to maintain my mentality regardless yeah
This the catharsis, to protect yourself gotta be heartless
Uh, i been trying my hardest to maintain my mentality regardless

{verse 3:}
Go on and leave tho’, i ain’t never gave a fuck
You ever lost somebody who gave a fuck
Backstabbing me, they got the knife to my neck
Don’t give a fuck until they got the knife to they neck
Like a dick up it, love is a fucked up system
How you kill of my intimacy, then play the victim
Words will never explain my vehemence
I put a bandage on my heart, and had to reinvent
Ain’t no c in tent, but i had to see intent
I had to switch it up and show ‘em who i really am
I don’t be in tents, but i have to be intense
Prevented bullshit from proceeding, had to play defense
Call me a dickhead, who gives a fuck anyways
Was there for you, you weren’t there for me through any phase
The thoughts i got been eating me up for so many days
But like i said, who gives a fuck anyways, nigga

{chorus:}
Yea i know, yea i know it’ll eat you up if you don’t let it out
But i don’t and think i’d rather thug it out alone and sweat it out
And if im being honest right now, i ain’t nowhere near who i use to be
‘cuz i’m too far along on the road to who, i’m soon to be
Yea i know, yea i know it’ll eat you up if you don’t let it out
But i don’t and think i’d rather thug it out alone and sweat it out
And if im being honest right now, i ain’t nowhere near who i use to be
‘cuz i’m too far along on the road to who, i’m soon to be

{outro:}
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
