Clyde is reminded of a ex, when he scrolls down his Instagram feed and finds out his ex who he hasn’t talked to in awhile is in a new relationship, planning her first
As the story continues he makes it clear that he thought his ex love portrayed by Eve in the song, would wait for his love
Intro: Clyde McKnight]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Clyde McKnight]
It’s been a while since I hit you up
I heard around you got a life now
Go on to the ‘gram, I see you got a nigga
Both plannin’ on your first child
When you was around, I was young and grindin' hard
Really tryna make it
I know it sounds selfish, I was hoping that you waited
I just knew from the jump you was the one for me
You was supposed to be the one I start a life with
I was so close to the top I could feel it
Now I’m sitting here like, “Damn, where did you go?”
What can I do? What can I say to get back to you?
[Chorus: Clyde McKnight]
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask – I think I learned my lesson
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask – I think I learned my lesson
[Verse 2: Eve & (Clyde McKnight)]
Guess you thought you woulda been leavin' me alone
Like a kid without a daddy, but guess what, I’m fully grown
I can bounce back fast, but that fact, you shoulda known
I was fly before I met you, always make it on my own, huh
Won’t lie, I cried, but I knew the pain’ll pass
No more livin' in the lie ‘cause the lies never last
No more thinkin’ you that guy, you just a guy from the past
No more baby talk or weddin' walk, you come up missin', bad man
Yeah, well, I guess it’s for the best
I guess we’ll try to be friends, I guess there’ll be a mess, huh (A mess)
Yeah, then we’ll be hatin' on each other
It was one time forever, now I guess we left with never, come on
(Please help me out)
[Verse 3: Clyde McKnight]
I was caught in between happy ever after and
A grasp of my dreams
Thought I could have it all if I balanced it
But life, life ain’t as simple as it seems
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Clyde McKnight]
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask – I think I learned my lesson
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
Can’t help but ask: Is this a blessin' or a lesson?
God, help me ask – I think I learned my lesson
[Outro: Clyde McKnight]
What can I do? What can I say to get back to you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
