Bad for Me

Yeah…

I swear I be tryin’ do right…

But it’s somethin’ ‘bout the wrong ones

You feel me?

⸻

I don’t know why I be choosin’ the drama

Pass on a queen, chase a problem

Good girl callin’, I decline her

Toxic one text, I’m behind her

I know she bad for me, I know

Still let her slide like a free throw

Say I’m done, but I reload

Same damn cycle, here we go

⸻

She too nice, always askin’ ‘bout my day

Cook, clean, tryna take my stress away

Say she proud, say she prayin’ for a king

But it feel too calm, I don’t feel a thing

Then the other one come in with attitude

Talk slick, got a whole different mood

Say she don’t care, barely pick up my calls

But when she come around, got me breakin’ my rules

I be knowin’ what it is from the jump

One gon’ build, one gon’ tear it all up

One bring peace, one bring chaos and lust

And somehow I keep choosin’ the one I can’t trust

Late night drivin’, got me thinkin’ it through

Why I run from the real, chase the ones that ain’t true?

Maybe it’s me, maybe I’m used to the stress

Maybe I confuse that pain for the best

⸻

I don’t know why I be choosin’ the drama

Pass on a queen, chase a problem

Good girl callin’, I decline her

Toxic one text, I’m behind her

I know she bad for me, I know

Still let her slide like a free throw

Say I’m done, but I reload

Same damn cycle, here we go

⸻

She got patience, she don’t yell, she don’t fight

Tryna build somethin’ real, do it right

But I’m bored when it’s smooth, I can’t lie

Used to storms, I be chasin’ that high

Other one wild, got me losin’ my mind

One minute good, next she switchin’ the vibe

Block me, unblock me, playin’ games with my time

But I still double back like I’m pressin’ rewind

Know I should leave, but I stay for the thrill

Heart say chill, but my habits say deal

She don’t treat me how the good one would

But the way she move got me feelin’ too good

I be tellin’ myself “this the last time”

Then she pull up, now I’m back in that vibe

All that growth I was talkin’ ‘bout gone

Soon as she hit me, I’m back in her zone

⸻

Why I push away the one that’s solid?

Why I entertain the one that’s toxic?

I see the signs, I just don’t stop it

Know it’s wrong but I still want it

⸻

I don’t know why I be choosin’ the drama

Pass on a queen, chase a problem

Good girl callin’, I decline her

Toxic one text, I’m behind her

I know she bad for me, I know

Still let her slide like a free throw

Say I’m done, but I reload

Same damn cycle, here we go

⸻

Maybe one day I’ma break that pattern

Find me a real one, build it after

But right now I’m stuck in my ways

Caught in the heat of these momentary flames

She told me “you gon’ miss me later”

I laughed it off, didn’t wanna save her

Now I see what she really meant

Peace cost less but I chose that rent

Toxic love got a hold on me

Feel like I need it, it controlin’ me

Even when I see it clear as day

I still turn back, I still go that way
