LYRICS
[Verse 1]
I promised that I wouldn’t stress about you
Feeling better now i’ve learned to live without you
Can’t believe it’s been some months without your name in blue bubbles
Texts faded cause these old habits brought on new troubles
The projection was exhausting, I was forced to find my fortune
Why i suffered many losses, think depression was accosted
I was skinnier
Looking back, I barely ate my share without me tearing up
My momma aint around, but somehow I feel I’m hearing her
Telling me to distance from this girl, I grew to be with her
She aint like my brother or my best friend, why i’m feeding her?
When the money came in, I put dollars on a dream wit her
She would beat me down, while any girl would wanna see me up
Crying on the phone with cuz, I can’t believe she’d keep me up
Accused of me some s*** I didn’t do, and that would eat me up
Know she date a legend, but she treat me like leukemia
I was down bad, and now there’s visions of me leaving her
You said it was my fault because somebody stole my bike
You hated, and the truth is there is much I did dislike
I’m fighting intuition, bitching how I sleep at night
Assaulted my emotions, wasn’t kosher or polite
You treat me like a dog, and try to pigeon hold my plight
Pillow-talking, peace-offerings, put restrictions on my price
And I ain’t mad, I got a million overnight
Now I’m back out on the market, shorties talking to me nice
And I was never petty, girl I’ll never spill the beans
Imma say, you can’t love, you let somebody intervene
Whats the verdict?
Had to shake this residue, cause my new girl she don’t deserve it
I’ll be ready if she really want the smoke again
Even tried to put a wedge between me and my closest friend
[Verse 2]
This kinda s*** don’t really happen so I had to wrap it
Had to circle back on shorty, surely put the plan in action
I’m at the yard, I told my mans, this black girl she had me tranced
Then a couple months later we at Berries holding hands
I’m feeling like you found me
Ain’t have to set no boundaries
My AM in the AM, every night you spent around me
It was chemistry
Shorty something sweet just like this melody
Your smile complete, pulling back them sheets, your kisses settled me
My last was in a spiral, wouldn’t be here by a long shot
Made me a mimosa when my song dropped
Off top
She better than my last, she don’t smoke but got me gassed
Sense of humor like my brothers, ain’t afraid to peak a laugh
And God brought you to me, I prayed for such a loyalty
She walk with grace, every girl replaced would look disorderly
Theres more to me than Coachella—
Played the stage, a go getter
You the one that drove me there
Your presence made me perform better
So intense, open hands, your family mine, won’t go against
Im overjoyed, she ain’t have to drive me there on both weekends
Spicy food, there ain’t much I’d like to do, outside of you
Give you space, to concentrate, on yoga moves
Chest big, fit physique, a Virgo like Beyoncé, sheesh
Showered at her crib, ain’t have hot water for a couple weeks
Intelligent and not a bitch, my ride or die and i love her speech
Knew you were somebody special cause you been the common theme
She my jigsaw puzzle piece
She would bring me love and peace
She the one I’m waiting for, im glad i am the one you meet
(Glad I am the one you meet)
