[Verse 1: AUGUST 08]
You been on my mind for a while now
I feel like we been lying for a while now
Your body shine like gold and I can't help when I touch you
Waiting on my soul weighs you down
We should let it go, I stuck around too long
The thought is on my mind to get away from you
With karma on my back, I only lose
[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Should've never been so quick to give my love away
I'm involved with two girls, I can't
I've got this blood on my hands
I've got this blood on my hands
Give me all the things that we're afraid to talk about
I've been waiting for my heart to break
I've got this blood on my hands
I've got this blood on my hands
[Verse 2: Smino]
Ayy, mmm, uh
Quick trippin' to Japan, yeah, to fly away
Met a bad Asian thang, had to—
Neck on ice age, in the car tuned in
I just don't know what she saying, yeah, uh
But this love, she so bad
Yeah, yeah, mmm
I said, fuck it, we still get the Rosetta Stone
Know when I'm a king, I'll live with my Coretta though
Pussy got me high, Laffy Taffy, it's like an edible
Ooh, my bitch know she is spesh
Wish we could all just collab
Chrissake this blood on my hands
I understand I—
[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Should've never been so quick to give my love away
I'm involved with two girls, I can't
I've got this blood on my hands
I've got this blood on my hands
Give me all the things that we're afraid to talk about
I've been waiting for my heart to break
I've got this blood on my hands
I've got this blood on my hands
[Bridge: AUGUST 08]
Ooh, I don't wanna die alone anymore
You're all that I want, ooh
Ooh, I don't wanna die alone anymore
You're all that I want, ooh
[Breakdown: AUGUST 08]
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
Oh no mmm
[Chorus: AUGUST 08]
Should've never been so quick to give my love away
I'm involved with two girls, I can't
I've got this blood on my hands
I've got this blood on my hands
Give me all the things that we're afraid to talk about
I've been waiting for my heart to break
I've got this blood on my hands
I've got this blood on my hands
