[Intro: KB Mike]
I know I wasn't there for you
But I promise I care for you
I got you, it’s alright
[Chorus: KB Mike]
Sometimes I be wishing I could go back to my old life (To my old life)
I know you been hurting, I know I ain't there to tell you things be alright (Things be alright)
If I died right now, would you even care? Would you try to save my life? (Would you try to save my life?)
I know I wasn't there for you but I promise I care for you
I got you, it’s alright (I got you, it's alright)
Shit was so hard, we was stuck in them trenches
If I didn't have it, I had to go get it (I had to go get it)
They told me one day I'ma make it but I did shit I know God ain't forgiving
So stuck in this lifestyle (Stuck in this lifestyle)
Need my old friends right now (My old friеnds right now)
And I know that we cut each other so deep but I still need you right now (I still need you right now)
[Verse 1: KB Mike]
You said you lovе me, you didn't (Oh)
You said forever, I miss it (Oh)
And I just keep thinking one day we gon' fix it but I know the feeling's missing
And how we let it get this far? (Get this far)
I wanna leave you, but I need you ’cause I love too hard (’Cause I love too hard)
Evertyhing was perfect, was it worth it? You made us fall apart
Never trust a soul, all of my feelings gone
They say that they got me, I know that they don't
That they gon’ be here but they won't
I gave it my all, I took a few L's
My brother died from them shells (Died from them shells)
Wish I could bring him back and just take myself (Take myself), oh
I'm wishing that shit was the way it used to be (The way it used to be)
I ain’t have to worry 'bout all of this fake love, this so new to me (Oh)
I was there when nobody was and this what you do to me (And this what you do to me)
Should've peeped all the bad vibes and I know we had bad times But you can't keep fooling me
[Chorus: KB Mike]
Sometimes I be wishing I could go back to my old life (To my old life)
I know you been hurting, I know I ain't there to tell you things be alright (Things be alright)
If I died right now, would you even care? Would you try to save my life? (Would you try to save my life?)
I know I wasn't there for you but I promise I care for you
I got you, it's alright (I got you, it's alright)
Shit was so hard, we was stuck in them trenches
If I didn't have it, I had to go get it (I had to go get it)
They told me one day I'ma make it but I did shit I know God ain't forgiving
So stuck in this lifestyle (Stuck in this lifestyle)
Need my old friends right now (My old friends right now)
And I know that we cut each other so deep but I still need you right now (I still need you right now)
[Verse 2: Scorey]
Uh, uh
Everyone counted me out
I was down, I was out, you was right along with them
Tryna figure it out, I ain't fit in
Needed to vent, couldn't call you to listen
Left love scars on my heart
Told you I love hard from the start
From the slums, trappin' out cars
Where was love, when I had it hard?
I've been at it all day
Trapping 'til it's all straight
He took a shot of metal to the face
This .40 gonna rock a fella like Jay
Talking about love, you lied to my face
Tried to tell me what I need to hear
What I need to hear is the truth
And I couldn't seem to get it from you
Tell me you done with me and I'm through (Oh)
And I know it be toxic but I just can't stop it
Somethin' just keep dragging me into you
(And I know it be toxic but I just can't stop it
Somethin' just keep dragging me into you)
[Chorus: KB Mike]
Sometimes I be wishing I could go back to my old life (To my old life)
I know you been hurting, I know I ain't there to tell you things be alright (Things be alright)
If I died right now, would you even care? Would you try to save my life? (Would you try to save my life?)
I know I wasn't there for you but I promise I care for you
I got you, it's alright (I got you, it's alright)
Shit was so hard, we was stuck in them trenches
If I didn't have it, I had to go get it (I had to go get it)
They told me one day I'ma make it but I did shit I know God ain't forgiving
So stuck in this lifestyle (Stuck in this lifestyle)
Need my old friends right now (My old friends right now)
And I know that we cut each other so deep but I still need you right now (I still need you right now)
