Hard Break

No!

Didn't you hear?

Did I start to stutter?

Or just don't you care?

You're arrogant and selfish.

Time I put it out there!

How come I never have to repeat myself

When my answer is yeah?

You hear me just fine then.

Then, it's all crystal clear.

How come I can hear you

When the refusal is yours?

Yet when it's mine,

Have to shout it through a bullhorn?

Well, maybe it's my fault 

That I'm not being heard.

Perhaps I've nurtured bad habits

Instead of nipping them in the bud.

Whatever the case,

This beat's getting old.

Need a fresh spinner

And a table that turns.

I'm putting on a new record;

Gonna play a new track.

It's taken some time

But I've got my voice back.

With this realisation,

I am taking a stand,

Arguing with you

Feels like a battle through quicksand.

And I don't know how it happened

But man!

Somehow my feet have found their way

Onto firm land.

Away from the drama

I am loving the view

And I know you won't like it,

But we're gonna have to 

Change the dynamic between me and you.

Now just keep this right here;

Don't involve your mama.

Don't call up your crew 

Or your best friend, or your brother.

The business at hand 

Is an extra special brew.

Ain't no room at the table.

This is tea for two.
