Still choose you

this is angry rap with love still bleeding through it. Aggressive, raw,

“Still Choose You (War Love)”

(Intro — spoken/low)

Yeah…

This that love that don’t die…

Even when it should

(Verse 1)

Met you when I was broken, fresh out the wreck

Heart in pieces, pain sittin’ heavy in my chest

You talked different, yeah you treated me right

Only one who ever saw me past the fight

Had me hooked quick, yeah I fell too fast

Tryna outrun demons from my past

So I ghosted, yeah I ran from the truth

Didn’t think you’d stay if you knew what I been through

Came back like “fuck it, let’s roll these dice”

Didn’t know loving you would cost my life

(Hook)

We was fire, we was pain, we was never that stable

I was givin’ you love, you was turnin’ the table

I was fightin’ for us, you was cuttin’ me loose

And I hated myself… but I still chose you

Yeah I still chose you

(Verse 2)

Long distance, late nights, fightin’ through a phone

Me cryin’ to silence while you out on your own

Break up, make up, same cycle again

I was beggin’ for love from a half-lovin’ man

You lied, you played, you moved real slick

Had me questionin’ myself, made me feel like shit

I was dodgin’ red flags, tryna keep us alive

While you slowly let the real us die

Chose her, chose anything but me

Had me sittin’ dead last where I shouldn’t be

Still I stayed like I ain’t know my worth

Put your love over mine—that’s what hurt

(Hook)

We was fire, we was pain, we was never that stable

I was givin’ you love, you was turnin’ the table

I was fightin’ for us, you was cuttin’ me loose

And I hated myself… but I still chose you

Yeah I still chose you

⸻

(Verse 3 — darker)

Tell me how you slept when I was losin’ my mind

Pregnant, alone, you was nowhere to find

Carried your child with tears in my eyes

While you walked away like love was a lie

Texts behind me, calls I ain’t see

Women with your number, yeah that shit cut deep

Fake profiles, games, nothin’ made sense

Still I loved you through all that shit

I even almost left, yeah I had my chance

Old flame ready, I could’ve advanced

But somethin’ in me just wouldn’t move

No matter what… I kept choosin’ you

(Bridge — raw truth)

Yeah I ain’t perfect, I did my dirt

Gave attention away when you made me hurt

But even then I ain’t switch my heart

I just broke down tryin’ to play my part

Carried your bags to the door like “stay”

Hopin’ you’d fight for me just one day

But you let me stand there lookin’ like a fool

Still beggin’ for love I gave to you

(Final Hook — heavier)

Now you love me loud, now you all in

But where was that when my world was breakin’?

You built me up just to tear me down

Now I’m still here but I don’t feel the same now

Yeah I love you, that’ll always be true

But it ain’t that girl that was dyin’ for you

It’s scarred, it’s real, it’s somethin’ I grew…

But I still choose you

(Outro — quiet, emotional)

Seven years later… yeah I’m still here

Through the love, through the pain through the fear I ain’t the same but this heart is still yours
