Don’t Care Now

Don’t care now, now that I am up and you’re on bare ground,

You’re smilin’, girl—what happened to the stare-down?

All the sudden, I ain’t bein’ fair now?

You told me, that you wanna let your hair down,

You said it confidently—don’t be scared now.

You were just hot stuff, where’s the flare now?

You got it mixed up, I’m aware now,

Time to pare down—

Don’t care now.

⸻

I know you wish you never broke bad,

Now you’re lookin’ hungry with your broke ass.

Dead the bullshit, get the toe tag—can’t go back,

And you know that.

Too bad that you had to lead with pride,

Too bad you thought I was full of lies.

You flipped it—’cause you’re guilty in your mind,

Ain’t care at the time, Don’t care now

(add vocal stacks, stronger drums here)

Don’t care now, now that I am up and you’re on bare ground,

You’re smilin’, girl—what happened to the stare-down?

All the sudden, I ain’t bein’ fair now?

You told me, that you wanna let your hair down,”

You said it confidently—don’t be scared now.

You were just hot stuff, where’s the flare now?

You got it mixed up, I’m aware now,

Time to pare down—

Don’t care now.

I bet it’s hard to sit and watch me take off,

I told you I’m the one—what can I say, doll?

You were slow pitchin’, this is baseball,

The sport’s switchin’—why the late call?

Voicemail first ring—stayin’ strong,

Predicted better days, we were way wrong.

You audibled to trick me, throw me way off,

Now your game ain’t workin’—you got laid off.

⸻

Playin’ those games never helped,

Tried to sell all them lies—you should’ve kept them to yourself.

I ain’t buyin’ it—keep that shit on the shelf,

Thought I had something nice, not just a notch on my belt.

But it’s no thang, no pain has been felt—

Well, it burned for a minute, but I ain’t gon’ melt.

In fact I’m gonna grow from this

remind you like a grocery list

That when I’m in to stroke a bitch I make that pussy belch but this ain’t even bout the coochie

Heart is no doubt what drew me

Into a place I never thought I’d be—

Hopped out that space quick memories erased ‘em—

Now I must replace miss with a couple freaks.

She is now in my past—I can sit back and laugh

Like fuck a better half and a couple

It’s just me—ain’t gotta see that glare now,

I ain’t gotta share now—

More comfy in my lair now—

It’s nice to be free, so don’t care now.
