Exxxes

[Verse 1: Bless]
At six, I was ready to meet people; I was never ashamed of what I became
I needed someone to vent to, some how we’d be equals
I met you in class, and you were just beautiful
The usual girls were suited for living the life of a Nicki
And to me; that just wasn’t suitable
So, along we went as kids, I grew up far quicker than you ever did
But still somehow, you disappeared and I was in awe of how I felt
Yeah, I moved from Morris Jeff to a new school
New Orleans Free School, to be exact
And who knew, we’d end up back together?
But you were not what I’m used to
Surrounded by nothing but gangsters, killers, and bangers
And the most dangerous criminals
Please, that wasn’t you and I think you’d agree that it was a bit painful
Kill all your innocence, murder my feelings, and fail to remember that we were the same
Once you remembered, I was with Treje in 2008 but she cheated away
Dang, emotions are getting the best of me, I’m cracking up and my brain is racing
I’ve had enough, but there is no replacing either one of you
Look at me, I’m changing; you deserve it
You deserve it

[Hook: Bless]
Rewind the tape; give me an attempt to find a way
You’re leaving me limping around for safety
Vulnerable as a child to think of relationships
Around the way, I was just looking to find my place
But all of a sudden, I found a face accepting me
Your smile was so vindictive, but I was out of it
How did I not recognize it?
Whenever you would come around, I got this feeling
As if I’ve got to get away, but I could never get away
Bijan, Monica, and Treje
Honestly, I don’t know what to say
I feel betrayed, but what a display you put on

[Verse 2: Bless]
2009 was just obstacles
With an ill mind, she hops in, no stopping her
In the beginning, it was a bit shocking
But, I was winning; I mean my confidence was beginning to rise
It was obvious that Monica was different
Inside I thought, if I can make this last, it’ll hide my scars
Easy to think yes, but it probably won’t
Middle school memories, back when I wasn’t as cynical
I wasn’t typical, nor was I ridiculed
I was in critical condition; I guess I was wishing I could additionally
Wash away scars, admissible
We were so unsinkable, it was just peace
Stereotypical racial policing would not have a chance, had it seen us
You were Space Bound for me, but I Love the Way You Lie girl
It’s addicting, nah but to you it’s tempting
To say all these things that’ll make me feel I’m worth it, for you to diss me
And to add insult to injury, you’d text me saying you missed me
You deserve it
