Don’t Take This Personal

[Hook]
Please don’t take this personal
Cuz baby it ain’t you it’s me
I gotta take some space from you
So I can try figure out me
Had to be alone, cuz I was going thru things
Had to lose myself, just to find my being
Tryna keep the hope, it’s getting hard to keep
It’s not what you know, it’s about what you teach

Please don’t take this personal

Tryna keep the hope, it’s getting hard to keep

[Verse 1]
It ain’t you it’s me
Everytime I be with you
I don’t feel likе I feel like me
And I don’t what it is
But I do know what it means
And I don’t know what I want
But I do know what I need
And what I need is mе
That’s why I can’t be with you
Why you always question me
Feel like i'm in a interview
How you say you can’t trust in me
When all I do is tell truth
I Been fighting w myself
You think i wanna fight with you
But please don’t take this personal
You know that my intentions good
I never meant to hurt a soul
I’m careful bout the things I do
If I hurt you it’s gone hurt us both
And everything we going thru
It’s part of the process of growth

And If it’s worth having then it ain’t gone come easy
It ain’t worth revenge I ain’t tryna get even
Came to my senses and that’s why I’m leaving
If I give you my all at the end you gone need me

[Verse 2]
It be the happiest people that be depressed
People think my life is perfect cuz they never see the mess
Used to think crying was a weakness
Never let em see me stress
They wouldn’t know how I’m doing
They don’t even bother to check
All they care about is the check
All I care about is I’m blessed
I’m just tryna help heal your soul
I'm just tryna help you progress
If I show you you could be more
Why would you settle for less
Can't even settle to be great
Cuz I’m gonna be the best
Even when I do what’s right
I feel like shit be going left
And if you focus on the now
You wouldn’t worry bout what’s next
I never acted like my age
I always been a step ahead
Had to get used to the hate
And choose to love myself instead
We all get what we deserve
Depends how you pass ya test
And It’s not about what I Said
It’s about how you read the text
If I ain’t have nothing to say
Then imma yo ass on read
I hope you don’t take this personal
Can’t live with no regrets
