A Poem to Myself

[Verse 1]
You told your friends I wasn't nobody special, yeah
You told your friends you just wanna go on dates without emotion
And, shawty, am I the one to blame for it?
And tell me why I'm the one to pay for it
I guess I just realized I'm finally gonna pay for it
I realized that
Maybe I, maybe, maybe I, maybe I
I shoulda let you go even sooner than I thought I would
I need some time to be by myself
'Cause I just really need some time
I just really need tough time
I just really need-

[Chorus]
This is a poem to myself, 'cause I need somebody like me
To gimme some advice, to gimme some advice
This is a poem to myself, 'cause I need somebody like me
To gimme some advice, to gimme some

[Verse 2]
"I just want your lovin'", all my niggas they been sayin'
Then, man, what did you see?
You know that I just want you for my safety
And, baby girl, what are you saying?
I just need some time to get you off my mind, need recovery
Tell me what I been missin'
I know I been hurt the fuck
You should know I been hurt the fuck
I know I been hurt the fuck (Yeah)
Man, you did me dirty but fuck (Yeah, yeah)
'Cause you did me dirty, you gave me pain
I don't think that I love the same
Fuckin' with your best friend
You broke my heart, you broke my heart from the very start

[Chorus]
This is a poem to myself, 'cause I need somebody like me
To gimme some advice (Yeah), to gimme some advice
This is a poem to myself, 'cause I need somebody like me
To gimme some advice, to gimme some-

[Interlude]
Why you just don't [?] me?
It's not coming off with you, just 'cause I bring it up now to the [house] [?]
But I mean, it's like two years already in, like, everything's been going good, I don't know
I [?], that's just not good, do you want me to [?]
No, I don't want you to hide it, [?] that you tellin' me this, so now that I know I'm not just walkin' around here thinking that one thing leads to another

[Outro]
I beg you
I beg you somethin' special
What happened to me if I would play the part?
What happened to me if I would play the part?
Yeah, woah-oh
Oh no, no, no, no
