[Intro]
Uh, yeah
Tell me what you know bout these niggas on the west side
Keep my pockets full, money got me on a dog tie
Bad bitches wanna lead me on for a good time

Uh, yeah, I know that this love don’t exist yet

Gotta turn me up if you wanna get your bitch wet
I been talking checks to these hoes on a reject
[Pre-Chorus]

Still ain’t ever got to find your love but ain’t lone

[Pre-Chorus]
South side niggas don’t play with these bodies in the club
Staring all night like you really wanna touch
Keep your heart closed I ain’t been the one to trust
Baby I been on a roll but I still ain’t did enough yet
Uh, I been OD
All my niggas from my city they been OG
All these bitches fell in love with the old me
I been stacking checks all day for a cold piece
[Chorus]
Yeah, and you know me
I ain’t ever found the dream that they sold me
Still ain’t ever found your love but ain’t lonely
I been keeping warm with the ‘42 and codeine
And I know to the bottom of my soul
Got this jewelry on my neck keep the memories afloat
Did I some things that I regret sins that I could not atone
Now I gotta a couple shows paying more than you could know
[Outro]
I ain’t ever found the dream—dream that they sold me
Still ain’t ever found your love—love but ain’t lonely
I been keeping warm with the ‘42 and codeine
With the ‘42 and codeine
