On the closing track for his debut mixtape Enjoy, Mafeni, over catchy bass and electronic instrumentals, contemplates the vagaries of the modern dating experience, employing a change in perspective midway through the song to drive home his point that, in this area of life at least, what goes around...

[Intro: Mafeni]
If it's going up, it's coming down
If it goes around, it comes around
If you do it right, then you get it right
If you treat 'em wrong, they gon' treat you wrong
If it's going up, it's coming down
If it goes around, it comes around
If you do it right, you get it right
If you treat 'em wrong, they gon' treat you wrong
[Verse 1: Mafeni]
Shawty hit my DM dawg it's going down (of course)
Niggas call her karma 'cause she goes around (damn)
The past is in the past, fuck her body count (of course)
She love the music that I make and she so profound (damn)
Rolled a joint, now the convo's barking
Got the pearly white teeth, complement her dark skin
Man I found it so unique, fuck around and proposed
But that's not me, too many women in my phone
Goddamn, how many times have I told you baby girl
Please don't fall in love with a nigga (like me)
And I don't wanna stay at your place for the night
'Cause you'll probably think I'm looking for commitment (most likely)
I hate it when I leave the wrong impression
I hate it when she asks so many questions
I wonder what the fuck that I did in my past life 'cause all these girls be acting so possessive
Obsessive, I'm stressing
Way too focused on my goals
I work better when alone
Can't you see I'm in the zone
I might block you from my phone
Did the math, you're not the one
All I do is tell the truth
But sometimes I gotta pretend
I know that I said we'd be better as friends
But I was just tryna say "look mami don't ever text me again"
[Hook: Mafeni]
I know how you feel, to be honest I've been there before
You win some, you lose some, so baby girl please let it go
I told you already I don't need somebody to hold
You asked how I feel, I'm sorry I'm coming off cold
[Verse 2: Mafeni]
She cut me off, I've been moving on
Messing with these new girls, making newer songs
I met shawty at the party, she was hella turnt
I can't get her off my mind, I'm obsessed with her
Lonely at the crib with no text back
Said she always busy dawg I'm tryna respect that
But with no reply, man she just curved me
Like, what the fuck I do to deserve this?
Finally hit me back, "I ain't worthy"?
Didn't meet her expectations, I'm a disservice
If words could kill, nigga I just got murdered
She put some poison in whatever she just served me
Said we ain't got no chemistry
I'mma drown my sorrows in the Hennessy
I'mma love you long time, girl can't you tell?
And she was like, "Brush it off and take this L"
All my confidence went up in flames
Remembered when I used to play all them games
Hella fucked up 'cause the tables turned
And I ain't even mad, it's a lesson learned
[Hook: Mafeni]
She knows how I feel, to be honest she been there before
You win some, you lose some, I'm just tryna let this shit go
She told me already, she don't need somebody to hold
I asked how she feel, and now she just coming off cold
