Tragedy in Bassline

Intro – Travis Bentley (low, calm, almost spoken)] Yeah… I hear you… You keep askin the same thing… I just never answered it right… ⸻ [Hook – Dontayẽ & Maria T (Sisqó-inspired, silky + catchy)] What they want from me… (tell me what you see in me) Why they call on me… (when they feel that energy) Every time I leave, they come runnin back to me But it never feel the same, that’s the tragedy What they need from me… (is it love or just the vibe?) Why they lean on me… (only when they feelin tired) If it ain’t real, I let it fade eventually I been through it all… what they want from me? ⸻ [Verse 1 – Travis Bentley (DMX flow pattern, but smooth + reflective)] Look… I met her once, she said she liked how I talk Said I move different, how I carry my walk Couple nights later, now she callin me lost Said she need me… I ain’t see what it cost Then another one came with a story to tell Said she tired of the games, she been hurt for a spell I gave her time, but I ain’t give her myself Now she lookin at me like I’m somebody else I don’t play with hearts, I just move how I feel If it’s real, it’s real, I don’t force it to heal They be wantin somethin I ain’t promise to give Now they askin me questions ‘bout the way that I live ⸻ [Hook – Dontayẽ & Maria T] What they want from me… (tell me what you see in me) Why they call on me… (when they feel that energy) Every time I leave, they come runnin back to me But it never feel the same, that’s the tragedy ⸻ [Verse 2 – Travis Bentley (same cadence, deeper tone)] Another night, different face, same vibe She said she love how I think, how I ride Told me “don’t change,” but she wanted control Tried to hold me down, couldn’t hold my soul I ain’t cold, I just learned how to move Seen too many turn fake when you got somethin to lose Now I keep my distance, let the feelings breathe If it come back real, then it’s meant to be I ain’t here to break you, I just speak my truth If it’s love, it’s calm, it ain’t loud, it’s proof So if you ask what I want, I’ma keep it clear Just somethin that’s real… not just when I’m near ⸻ [Bridge – Maria T (soft, emotional, layered)] You don’t gotta say too much… I can feel it when it’s real… If it’s love, don’t rush… Let it show, let it build… ⸻ [Hook – FULL, more harmonies] What they want from me… (tell me what you see in me) Why they call on me… (when they feel that energy) Every time I leave, they come runnin back to me But it never feel the same, that’s the tragedy What they need from me… (is it love or just the vibe?) Why they lean on me… (only when they feelin tired) If it ain’t real, I let it fade eventually I been through it all… what they want from me? ⸻ [Outro – Travis Bentley (soft, reflective)] Yeah… Same question… different faces… I just needed a different answer…
