Lyrics: A Heartfelt Expression of Love and Trust
[Intro]
(Leor, light it up)
[Chorus]
You say I ain’t your nigga
You told me you weren’t my person
But I feel I’m somethin’ deeper
I feel like we are more than just a relationship
I’m a softly spoken creature
I’m not a person who shows my emotions
And I know you wanna see me fly
I know you want me to do well
I’d die for you, you know
I can do anything for you
Hope you don’t switch up neither
I hope you don’t leave me
[Verse 1]
Gotta stay protected, so I stay suited like Steve Harvey
You should always be prepared, wear a suit like Yoo Jae-suk
Huh, turnt up, then I took off on these niggas like I’m Lori
I gained momentum and achieved success quickly like Lori Harvey.
And I came from EBT, no award won from BET
A guy who lives off of the Sangsaeng card, still hasn’t won an award at BET
Tryna keep my peace, but them niggas shot at me only for to say they got at me, oh, oh
I tried to keep the peace, but they attacked me just to say I was being rude.
Why they blockin’ me? I ain’t have not a pot to pee
Why are you bothering me? No one used to do that.
‘Less I stay with Three at my grandpa house, I can’t stay with moms ’cause we up in beef
I had to go to my grandfather’s house, because I wasn’t on good terms with my mom at home.
She ain’t wanted me to stay up in her house ’cause I stay in trouble and be smokin’ weed
My mom wouldn’t let me out of the house because I was causing trouble and smoking weed.
She couldn’t do a thing when police roll me out, hope you happy now that I achieved
When the police dragged me out, my mom couldn’t do anything, but now she’s happy about my success.
Don’t fold on me, I won’t fold on you
Don’t give up on me, I won’t either
That we don’t do
Let’s not betray each other
I just want her to be my friend, she got a dude
I just want to be friends with her, even though she has a boyfriend
I don’t know why you wanna be with me like I want you
I don’t know why you want me like I want you
Try for to put my pride to the side and hope we make it through
I put my pride aside and hope our relationship goes smoothly.
I got this shit up in order, woah
Now that everything is sorted out, let’s move on
They want a verse, I’ma charge ’em
Now if people want my lyrics I get paid
I buy her a new car, ain’t buy her no starter
Buy my girl a new car, not the crappy one.
You know that I pop out with diamonds an awful lot
I often show up wearing diamonds
Her body brand new like I bought her from off the lot
She’s perfect as a new car, like she just came out of the dealership.
Shawty and I brand new, my brodie pop out a lot
Me and her start a new life, my friend lives outside
He jump out and pop it, he makin’ your body rock
A strong-willed friend, he can turn his opponents upside down
I’m screamin’ out, “Murder,” like “Welcome to Jamrock”
I’m screaming murder, like Welcome to Jamrock
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
If you say you love me, I got it
If you say you love me, I will accept it
Can you quit that clubbing? ‘Cause I don’t like it
But can you stop going to the club? I don’t like this.
I don’t know why they be with all that typing, knowing they ain’t like it
I don’t know why people say things they don’t mean, even when they don’t want to.
I don’t even know why most of these niggas even dislike me, just as long as they don’t try that
I don’t even know why most people hate me, just don’t do anything directly against me.
[Verse 2]
I feel that it’s nothin’ too high
It’s not too difficult for me.
If you low, then I’m bringin’ you high
If you’re feeling down, I’ll cheer you up.
On your own, you got it right
You did your job yourself, well done.
Congratulations, I’m proud
Congratulations, I’m proud of you.
You know I got some trust issues from all my past relations
You know I have trust issues because of my past relationships
If it go down now, you know I’ma shoot, I ain’t doin’ no contemplatin’ (No)
If something happens now, I will face it right away, without hesitation.
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus]
