lyrics
Verse 1: Another rainy day on the block Woke up in the middle of the night Yea I heard the sirens But you was on mind So I had no intent to comply With Mr: “If you would just surrender sir I promise that we’ll go easy on you But first confirm That I’m arrestin the killer Who ripped out the hearts Of this bitch and her sister Then smashed all that shit With some gravy and taters While they was bound Beggin you for some mercy” I did it But I swear she rehearsed All the combo’s of buttons To see if I’d snap on her ass Like Ford doin crack Or be mellow as shit Like some blunts after Church Naw fuck that shit Cuz the violence is inside of me It’s like every time I close my eyes The beast inside he hides from me And gets tangled up in my hearts That’s why I see hatred over everything But if I wrote this all down And got you the letter I hope you’d realize I ain’t bad as you think tho Chorus: And so the story goes You stay on my mind And I don’t mean to sound psycho But I’ve been creepin Facebook and Twiiter And I cried a little I just cried a little Cuz I can’t let you go I see you’re like a refugee Safe with the next nigga And you probably ain’t comin home Verse 2: Is it wrong that I get excited When I’m rhyming And you be fightin To get my hand from off your throat I fuckin love to hate you But in my heart I wanna save you And put that ass upon a pedestal Like I’m Mario and you the Peach tho Cuz often when I’m hidin Instagrammin yo body Touchin myself and shit I be getting jealous of these niggas And I swear I’m tryina fix it I know you always wanted different That’s why I tried forcing you to stay with me Oh yeah, sorry for that shit Bridge: And I know it’s my fault That you done packed up and gone Now I’m sittin all alone Tryina find vindication For every, everything I’ve done wrong
