Yeah… mmh

Why you do me like that, boy?

Why you play me like that?

⸻

Boy, I loved you, put no one above you,

Then you started creeping, yeah you started cheating—

With Tiffany, Brittany, Keisha, and Lindsey,

Had me losing sleep, can’t believe you did me.

Kept it real, I gave you my trust,

Held it down when it got rough.

Now I’m staring at the ceiling, broken heart but I’m healing,

‘Cause your love just wasn’t enough.

⸻

I can’t seem to catch a break,

Don’t know how much more I can take,

But your love I just couldn’t shake,

Even when I knew it was fake.

⸻

You got me twisted, got me faded,

All that love we had, you played it.

Now I’m stronger, elevated,

You gon’ see me glow, can’t fake it.

All those nights I cried in vain,

I won’t let you bring me pain.

I’m too real, won’t play no games,

Watch me rise up through the flames.

⸻

Late nights, I was waiting on your call,

While you’re out there, entertaining them all.

I was blinded, thought you were my soulmate,

Guess I learned my lesson, never too late.

Now I’m sliding through the city lights,

Heart cold, but my future bright.

I gave you my all, now I take it back,

A queen on her throne, you can’t handle that.

⸻

Ooo, I was drowning in your lies,

But I see it in your eyes.

You gon’ miss me when I’m gone,

But I been strong all along.

⸻

You got me twisted, got me faded,

All that love we had, you played it.

Now I’m stronger, elevated,

You gon’ see me glow, can’t fake it.

All those nights I cried in vain,

I won’t let you bring me pain.

I’m too real, won’t play no games,

Watch me rise up through the flames.

⸻

Yeah…

Tiffany, Brittany, Keisha, and Lindsey,

All them names, but they still ain’t me.

Boy, you lost the realest thing,

Now I’m gone, watch me spread my wings.
