      Hurt is a backfiring risk
      Missing someone you don’t wanna miss
      Thinking about the memories you can’t dismiss
      Knowing this rhyme should really be a diss
      And hurt left behind like a shackled kiss
      Don’t know why I keep putting myself in the same situations
      Don’t know why I’m repeating myself in the same way but with different quotations
      Boomeranging mistakes like I’m stuck in the same stations
      Because I didn’t think
      I believe why it’s so hard for me to let go
      Is because I constantly see my father walking in and out the door
      I promise you it just seems like he’s taking his time at the store
      But I know they’re dumb in love and do but don’t wanna let go
      My problem is I like to say forever
      Pain in my heart only leaves it severed
      Picking up the pieces broken by you trying to get it together
      My thoughts for you as cold as a basement cellar
      Not knowing if I can recover at all
      Is Makaila just trying to stall because she doesn’t know how to move on
      Momma said leave these dumb little boys alone
      But did I listen? Nawl
      Broke it off over text like a hit and run
      You didn’t hit so I guess you thought I was no fun
      Rumors spread my arms wrapped around other boys
      But you and I know that was just a decoy
      A scapegoat to get away
      Now I’m glad you neither came back nor stayed
      Your literacy was amiss
      Vocabulary wasn’t at all crisp
      Even if you can comprehend this rap you will see it as a diss
      Missing the person who did you wrong
      Feeling like you’re constantly making the same rap or the same song
      Finding a piece of them in everything that comes along
      Wanting everything associated with him just to be gone
      All the words in my mouth taped shut and unsung
      Right now I’m just too young
      Starting to listen to the words that come from my mother’s tongue
      Hurt is a backfiring risk
      Memories leaving with nothing to reminisce
      Now this rhyme is classified as a diss
      Who is the dude I use to miss?
