Part of any transformation is understanding what went wrong and communicating it to oneself, and/or the opposing party. Along any relationship, we witness things that don’t come to light until we allow them to do so. In short, our rose colored glasses prevent us from seeing the Red Flags that presented themselves from the very beginning.
Lyrics
From the very beginning, Something was up
Couldn’t tell if you were real or a bluff,
I swear life’s like poker, just leave it to chance
Just make sure you focus, don’t fall to romance,
You told me some words
and I just believed them,
Later to find out that
you would deceive them,
and me,
why not just set me free,
you chose to continue
that shyt made me bleed
Internally,
no questions,
you were a leech to my blessings,
thinking of you is depressing,
cannot believe I was stressing,
about this and that,
about how I needed to cover your back,
about how i need to stack up my stacks,
so I could take care of your slack,
… Red Flags
Now I’m in some deep shyt
Now I’m in some deep shyt
Now I’m in some deep shyt
Wake up from this dream
You gambled,
....With my time
It took me way too long,
To get my five in a kind,
I’m way to strong
Don’t play around with my wealth,
Do me a solid,
And keep your hands to yourself.
... Red Flags
Red Flags
Red Flags
…
Red Flags
Devotion, understanding
That’s what I gave to you,
I gave you honesty
I spent my time with you,
Give me a reason,
So that I can understand
Why these petty arguments
I’m good, i’m not your man
... Red Flags
Red Flags
Red Flags
…
Red Flags
I should have seen
All of the red flags … you displayed to me
I didn’t believe it,
No it couldn’t be,
now I’m in some deep shyt
Wake up from this dream
You gambled,
....With my time
It took me way too long,
To get my five in a kind,
I’m way to strong
Don’t play around with my wealth,
Do me a solid,
And keep your hands to yourself.
... Red Flags
Red Flags
Red Flags
…
Red Flags
I’m sitting at this table,
I take a look around,
My cards are all up in your face,
My feet are on the ground,
I nearly throw my chips all in,
Hoping I can deliver,
This hand is looking like my time,
It flows just like this river
You gambled,
....With my time
It took me way too long,
To get my five in a kind,
I’m way to strong
Don’t play around with my wealth,
Do me a solid,
And keep your hands to yourself.
... Red Flags

Red Flags
Now I’m in some deep shyt
Now I’m in some deep shyt
Now I’m in some deep shyt
Wake up from this dream
