Why you only say you love me when you need sumn?
Yes-it matters, should be nothing-if it means sumn……
Oh-you tryna get some money-don’t you feign dumb…
You know what I’m saying-i would never risk security- for freedom….
Never been a chump, been observant from the jump-
(Uhhn-)
(Look-)
I know what I’m doing-so don’t tell me what to do,
I been painting pictures-tryna bring some color into view,
I been city after city-it’s not nothing brand new
I been seeing thangs…..
Found some introspection, starting carrying protection,
I’m a product of the section-guess I I’m tryna-circumvent the pain,
Taking shots-that’s a couple dollars worth of lidocaine
Shit-Am I to blame?
For all of the times, when you felt,
Like you morphed to someone else,
Tryna getaway from everything-but nothing ever seeeemssssss- to help?
Please be patient-know it’s hard to learn to love your inner self!
Gotta teach yourself to swim from out the water,-Michael Phelps-
[Hook]
I-Tried to re, design the way, I see….
learn, to practice, what I preach
Challenging…….my knees , are getting weak…
Balancing, the wants, and all my needs…

[verse 2]
Why you say you down, for the ride-you ain’t mean it,
Everytime-telling lies, in my mind-I believe it,
Se-cond-time,
Fighting overtime-ima leave it
Alone, that shit really childish-and I’m way too-groooownnnn-
-whoa-!
Face to face, yet hardly seeing me,
Silent whispers, now my voice is drained,
Touch my shoulder, say you miss me-babe?
I can’t take your words-to mean a thang!
I swear-I think that we been down this road,
Gave it everything I had-you know?
Losing hope-it’s time to let it-gooooo-
Look….
[music distorts-skit begins]
[Her]
“So that’s it?”
“You not even gon’ say nothing now?”
“You really just gon’ sit there like I didn’t give”
”you everything I had?!”
“You think I’m crazy, huh??”
[Him]:
“I ain’t say nothin’…”
“You speaking loud enough for both of us.”
[Her]:
“Wow—so I’m just trippin’?”
“That’s what you tell yourself now?”
“You really gon’ act like I ain’t tell you I was at Tia’s house?!”
“That’s my cousin. You know that!”
[Him]:
“Your cousin live in Miami.”
“You was on Georgia Ave last night.”
[Her]:
“That’s not what it looked like!”
“I was—I was just…”
“Look, it wasn’t like that, okay?!”
“I was with people, but it wasn’t what you think!”
[Him]:
“Nah…”
“You just mad I stopped asking questions.”
[Her]:
“OH MY GOD—!”
“So now you think you perfect?! Like you ain’t ever lied before?”
“You wanna act holy all of a sudden—Mr. “I need space to myself”?”
“You lost me while you was busy finding you!”
[Him]:
“You lost you when you started lying to my face…”
[Her]:
“You think I don’t feel shit?!”
“I was holding you down when nobody else gave a fuck!”
“I prayed for you—cried for you—
AND THIS IS HOW YOU DO ME?!”
