Chorus // Ari PenSmith
It's a simple equation
It's very clear you're the problem
I always give and you take
You're the reason
We're divided
Try to fight it
Try to fight it
Verse 1 // P-Lo
(Aye)
This not a diss
Wish you were something they missed
Turned to a risk (aye)
What we had turned to abyss
I cannot stress you
I gotta let you
Tryna be stress free
You made it stressful
You had your guard up
That was your best tool
Used to stay with you
Why the fuck temp up
Now we too distant (aye)
You had the truth missing (aye)
You wasn’t used to this (aye)
Gave you exclusive dick (aye, yeah)
More mad that I wasted energy
Now it’s a better me
Kept the silence up
You gone remember me (yeah)
Chorus // Ari PenSmith
It's a simple equation
It's very clear you're the problem
I always give and you take
You're the reason
We're divided (yeah)
Try to fight it
It's a simple equation
It's very clear you're the problem
I always give and you take
You're the reason
We're divided
And I can't fight it
No more
Oh yeah
You need to work on all your self issues
Might have to leave you on the shelf
If you don’t work on all yourself
Verse 2 // P-Lo
(Yeah)
This not a diss (yeah)
Though we had something you switched
You had a list (aye)
Not knowing but you was still bliss
I gotta let you free (aye)
You wanted less of me (aye)
You wanted more of them (shit)
I could afford a Benz
Your loyalty I questioned
I even asked my best friends
Have me feeling less than
Then you gave it to the next man
More mad that I wasted energy
Now it’s a better me
Kept the silence up
You gone remember me

Work on your self issues
And I get left up on the shelf (aye)
Oooh
Self issues (gosh)
Left up on the shelf... (aye aye)
