Shit, before you go, baby, I got somethin' I gotta ask you
And just to set the record straight I'm not accusing you, I'm just asking
My question is, would you be willing to leave your old feelings in the past tense
Cause if it ain't beneficial to my pockets, it's gon' get a little bit more casual
I intend on keepin' game in my life from the cradle to the casket
Same deal before you came into my life from prenatal until my ashes
I breathe this shit for oxygen, through my nasal and out my ass cheeks
From the look in your eyes, I'm the light of your life, a custom book of matches
I ain't gon' lie, that shit hit different, tryna break on my first love
But sorry, I gotta get this chicken, now that money come first love
Ain't no nursing back to life the old me, he in a hearse, love
Don't appreciate you for what was, but for what's next, and it hurts, huh
Don't get all worked up, toxic love never works, love
I tried my best, but still you did me the worst, love
F*ck uncalled for that type of sleaze is unheard of
So may your heart run empty, while we fill your new purse up
Know the game from the pavement to the constellations
Tryna pick my brain, can prove to be ostentatious
Everything you need to know about me can be learned in conversation
I also live out my truths, for the words lost in translation
I can tell a lie, like a baker can sell a pie
I can manipulate your mind to make you think that some shit can smell a fly
But it's different, when a nigga really living the shit he write
Truth is, you gon' get it wrong a million times until you get it right
Daily banter proves to be pretentious in my eyes
It's easy to be this focused pair through frequencies in the sky
It don't really mean nothing until you really incorporate it in your life
Which really is the reason that I been tryna get you by my side
This shit in me, like horsepower in a Hemi
This shit forever in me, like the chemicals in a Simply
This shit burning up in me, like bad kids in an assembly
I can't sit still, I gotta get it, numb your heart so you can feel me
I opened my eyes and now baby I can lead you to the promised land
I can teach you the lingo baby, better than hooked on phonics can
I ain't tryna come and go, I'm not much of a Sonics fan
You hungry, let's get some pasta then, while we plot on a plot of land
I can survive on my own, but I wanna thrive with you
I ain't getting no younger, but I'll spend some time with you
I'm the baddest man on land, but I'm so fly with you
I'm less intimate than a boyfriend, but I'm no side nigga
I'm only one man, there's only so much a nigga can do alone
I had one band, and I gave and gave until my last was gone
I give one chance, you know the risk of disloyalty, baby we grown
You gotta understand, them lands unknown, they turned my heart to stone, for real
