I was mentioning to your name in rooms I barely got in
Just to show you how much I was locked in
And whenever you call everything I was dropping, yeah
Thinking outside the box it got me boxed in
Trying to buy your heart ain't realize what it's costing me
And I know you insecure, it's the boss in me
I know I act mature, it's the loss in me
It's the pain and the trauma I endured
[Verse 1]
You left before the paint dried, before the resin cured
I'm sorry that I made you wear a jacket that's not yours
I was shooting in the gym
But what happens when I get sore
This morning I woke up wrong side of the bed
Ignoring the demon that's on side of my head
Replaying conversation thinking about all the things that I said
How you treat me like I'm green
Then get mad when I'm seeing red
I'm moving on
Wearing gloves on my hands
'Cause I know every dog is bound to bite when it's being fed
Want me to follow blindly
I don't know I'm being led
You cut me to the core
I don't know how much blood was shed
I'm done removing the leeches, huh
Now I'm just picking up pieces
Just remember whenever you ballin
I was the one sitting there in the bleachers
I was the one sitting there in the stand, huh
During your off season
You gotta go get a bitch that's bland
When you had a young bitch who was still seasoned
Boy you was losing the goddamn plan
Man, I was the voice of reason
Meanwhile my shit blow up
All in the south
And all in the regions
Still trying to let you have your shine
I know your pride was doing the eating
I gotta drop my nuts
No, It don't make it right, but it make it even, ugh
