[Intro]
Late night
Brown skin, red wine
Said my name one time
Had me out my mind (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Met her by the corner store
Gold hoops, little tiny cross
Said she like her trouble raw
I said "baby, I'm the source"
Number in my cracked phone
Heart in her back pocket
She laugh when I talk loud
Said "I like you outta pocket"
Now I'm riding through the east side
Jealous of the street signs
Anybody text her
I be seeing red each time
First dude ran his mouth
Saw him by the bodega
One shout, tires out
He ain't see me pull the laser
[Chorus]
I caught a case for your love
Blood on my hands, you in my lungs
I did the time in my head
Long before the judge said what he said
I threw my life in your fire
Thinking I'd burn for your desire
But you ain't even mine, girl
You just turned off all my lights, girl (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Second boy, he from uptown
Posting on her page now
Comments with the flame signs
Had me wanna flame rounds
Pulled up, midnight
Hoodie tight, lips dry
Three taps, porch light
He ain't ever seen five
Third body by the projects
I was deep inside my pride then
Thought your heart was locked up
I was running every side quest
Whispers in the hallway
"Someone snitching, someone talking"
I ain't think that it was you
You the one I kept calling
[Chorus]
I caught a case for your love
Blood on my hands, you in my lungs
I did the time in my head
Long before the judge said what he said
I threw my life in your fire
Thinking I'd burn for your desire
But you ain't even mine, girl
You just turned off all my lights, girl (oh)
[Bridge]
Blue lights on the windshield
Cold steel to my cheekbone
You stepped out the shadows
Badge shining on your cheekbone
Said my real name smooth
Like you never even cared, like
"Boy, I never liked you
I just needed what you shared" (damn)
[Verse 3]
Handcuffs, heart cuffs
Same click, both shut
Court bench, empty row
You the one that don't show up
Lawyer whisper in my ear
"She detective, not your dear"
All that time I thought was fate
You was building up a case
Three faces on the wall now
I'm the villain in the small town
You the hero in the write-up
I'm the fool that couldn't wise up
Sitting in this orange suit
Thinking 'bout your gold tooth
You smiled when they took me
Guess I died for the wrong truth
[Chorus]
I caught a case for your love
Blood on my hands, you in my lungs
I did the time in my head
Long before the judge said what he said
I threw my life in your fire
Thinking I'd burn for your desire
But you ain't even mine, girl
You just turned off all my lights, girl
[Outro]
You took my nights, you took my name
You took my mind, left me the blame
I gave you war for a little kiss
Now I sit here counting everything I missed
