I see it in ya eyes
Ya wish ya did right by me, wish ya never lied
Wish ya would've tried a little harder to keep me
Wish you would've never broke my heart and deceived me
Miss me always picking up the call when ya need me
Granted every wish. Ya falling star and ya genie
But because I did right to ya
It didn't mean that I would have the rights to ya
Tricky when ya misconstrue love for entitlement
And every story gonna havе more than one side to it
Your vеrsion of it may be different from how I view it
But I'm calling bullshit
Fooled me once and the shame on you
Fooled me twice should've opened my eyes
Three, four, five times down the line
I am no longer surprised. Took a while but I'm wise now
Players fuck up
You need someone to save ya, well I ain't got a cape on
I'm all out of patience and all out of favors
Got a lot of love for ya, and that'll never change up
But it's never going back to the way it was
No, I'm never going back to the way I was
Let em slide once and they ice skating
Let em ice skate and now the ice breaking
When the ice break, they fall and I save em
Look at me showing up again with my cape on
Had to bring it all to an end
Relationships, family, and friends
Crazy how I try to keep everyone around me from drowning
And I ain't never learned how to swim, damn
Gotta save myself for a change
And if it seems like it, yes I done changed
I asked God for a new deck of cards
He said nah, you just never really dealt with the pain
Gotta shuffle em better. Gotta cut em up better
And knowing when you soaring high you probably ruffle some feathers
But that's the price of elevation and striving for greatness
Let em take it how they wanna take it
You need someone to save ya, well I ain't got a cape on
I'm all out of patience and all out of favors
Got a lot of love for ya, and that'll never change up
But it's never going back to the way it was
No, I'm never going back to the way I was
With age comes wisdom
And after years of giving and feeling like my actions weren't reciprocated
I realized that things aren't happening to me
See, the universe is just reacting to what I put out
They say when you always put everybody first
You're only teaching them that you come last
See energy is real tricky
Always be aware and extra careful of what you're sending out to the universe
All good vibes ain't good vibes
I promise it's okay to love yourself more. Peace
