Took My Time

“What We Had” is a street rap about love lost and all the complicated feelings that come with it. Mid-tempo, low vocals, dark urban vibe, just real emotion

Song Lyrics -

(Intro)
Yeah…
funny how love go from fire to smoke.
you still in my head, but we ain’t even talkin’ right.

(Verse 1 )
Used to ride through the city, your hand in mine,
now I’m solo, same streets, feelin’ the crime.
You said forever, but that shit expire,
I got cold words now, spit ’em like fire.
Ain’t mad, just hurt, yeah, I admit,
but don’t mistake my pain for some little bitch shit.
You wanted calm, I was thunder and rain,
now I ride these blocks just to numb the pain.
Text me at 3, sayin’ “I miss you” soft,
next day ghostin’ like you alway been lost.
I still love you, yeah, but don’t get it twisted,
heart raw, chest heavy, and my pride ain’t lifted.

(Hook)
What we had, I still feel it in my chest,
you say love, but girl, we both know the rest.
I ain’t soft, I ain’t cryin’ on this beat,
but I replay your name in every street.
What we had, still burnin’ under my skin,
don’t need you back, but I can’t let it dim.
Say it’s love, but your actions lie,
so I ride these nights, let the bass testify.

(Verse 2 )
Remember nights we laughed till we cried?
Now it’s smoke and mirrors, truth denied.
You said you loved me, but not like that,
I’m the same man, still carryin’ the past.
I’m angry, yeah, but I keep it in control,
don’t let nobody see the cracks in my soul.
We made rules, broke ’em, still stayed in line,
now I spit this verse like it’s a landmine.
I ain’t bitter, just sharp, pain turned to steel,
ride or die feelings that you made me feel.
DMX in my chest, Pop Smoke in my flow,
I move through the pain, still let the world know.

(Hook)
What we had, I still feel it in my chest,
you say love, but girl, we both know the rest.
I ain’t soft, I ain’t cryin’ on this beat,
but I replay your name in every street.
What we had, still burnin’ under my skin,
don’t need you back, but I can’t let it dim.
Say it’s love, but your actions lie,
so I ride these nights, let the bass testify.

(Bridge)
It’s crazy, we still love, but don’t really love,
you call me soft, I call it enough.
I ain’t askin’ for closure, don’t need your hand,
I just spit my truth, try to understand.

(Outro)
I ain’t mad.
Just still remember what we built,
and how it burned when it left.
Still love you, yeah - but I move different now.

(Hook)
What we had, I still feel it in my chest,
you say love, but girl, we both know the rest.
I ain’t soft, I ain’t cryin’ on this beat,
but I replay your name in every street.
What we had, still burnin’ under my skin,
don’t need you back, but I can’t let it dim.
Say it’s love, but your actions lie,
so I ride these nights, let the bass testify.

What We Had

Heartbreak hit the club. Pain in the bassline, memories in the lights.
