You say what you need, baby, let it out
But I've been movin' in silence, full of doubt
Caught you flexin' in the mirror, shades on cool
But it's the lies in your vibe that made me a fool
We were vibin' deep in the midnight scenes
Leather seats, cheap perfume, and a broken dream
You say the right words, but your moves ain't clean
Now I'm still takin' hits, findin' what it means
Ooh, when you pull me closer, I lose my breath
But I'm learnin' that's love and I regret
Say my name, but it's hollow, I can't feel the depth
Still I'm caught in the fire, can't escape it yet
Recognize a real, nigga, don't play the fool
Baby, I gave my all, now I see right through
Hold you down, give you light, now I'm breakin' loose
Recognize I'm real, one, I'm done with you
Recognize I'm real, nigga, don't play the fool
Baby, I gave my all, now I see right through
Hold you down, give you light, now I'm breakin' loose
Recognize I'm real, one, I'm done with you
Had me talkin' to God 'bout your heavy lies say
Forgive me, but that love, my alibi
Now I'm searchin' for myself in the space you left
While your promise faded with every breath
Caught you standin' in your glory, unashamed
But your gold don't shine, it's a counterfeit chain
I was blind by the thrill, now I feel the pain
Got me singin' my truth through the pouring rain
Oh, when you pull me closer, I lose my breath
But I'm learnin' that's love and I regret
Say my name, but it's hollow, I can't feel the depth
Still I'm caught in the fire, can't escape it yet
Recognize a real, nigga, don't play the fool
Baby, I gave my all, now I see right through
Hold you down, give you light, now I'm breakin' loose
Recognize I'm real, one, I'm done with you
Recognize I'm real, nigga, don't play the fool
Baby, I gave my all, now I see right through
Hold you down, give you light, now I'm breakin' loose
Recognize I'm real, one, I'm done with you
