Kevin is talking about a girl he was dating then broke up with. After an amount of time away from each other Kevin asks how she has been.
[Chorus]
If I call would you pick up? Be honest
'Cause I'm lost in my thoughts and my conscience
Baby I'm done with this bullshit and nonsense
You said you'd be there, why'd you break that promise?
God damn I miss the old you, exotic, sad and different from
Bitch I thought I told you that I ain't into different hoes
Bitch I thought I told you that I run on a different route
So I'ma hit your phone saying something like
[Hook]
"Ay, girl how you been?"
Can we make up, and fuck, and be friends?
But I guess if it's up, it's stuck, can't make amends
Is that too much to want, am I trippin'?
Pour a little too much when I'm sippin'
[Verse 1]
I pour a little too much when I'm lonely
And you must have forgot when you told me
That I was the only one
We took it slowly, then we took it fast
But you was too faded, swear you love that gas
And I was impatient
I needed you back, now I think I'm crazy
For needing you back, but I know you hate me
For shit from the past, and being like that
Back to the days I used to tell I miss you
I was so blind and baby and I looked past all our issues
Always thinkin' we straight, I always kept that shit simple
But I needed a change, I'm glad I made it official
[Chorus]
If I call would you pick up? Be honest
'Cause I'm lost in my thoughts and my conscience
Baby I'm done with this bullshit and nonsense
You said you'd be there, why'd you break that promise?
God damn I miss the old you, exotic, sad and different from
Bitch I thought I told you that I ain't into different hoes
Bitch I thought I told you that I run on a different route
So I'ma hit your phone saying something like
[Hook]
"Ay, girl how you been?"
Can we make up, and fuck, and be friends?
But I guess if it's up, it's stuck, can't make amends
Is that too much to want, am I trippin'?
For a little too much when I'm sippin'
[Chorus]
If I call would you pick up? Be honest
'Cause I'm lost in my thoughts and my conscience
Baby I'm done with this bullshit and nonsense
You said you'd be there, why'd you break that promise?
God damn I miss the old you, exotic, sad and different from
Bitch I thought I told you that I ain't into different hoes
Bitch I thought I told you that I run on a different route
So I'ma hit your phone saying something like
[Outro]
