Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think it's better if we just stay friends
Cuz You be makin shit so complicated
Baby I told you I've had enough i'm done playin
Trippin cux my phone off and you can't check my location
(She like) what ever happened to our love
The shit you did behind my back really fucked me up
Now I got that 1800 liquor in my cup smokin up a blunt
Tell me that it's real but Ik you gon front
When I told you I loved you, girl I meant that shi
The way you threw it back, girl I miss that shi
You only call my phone when you miss this dick
You fuckin wit me now cux I'm filthy rich
I can't trust no bitch Talk about self love I had to sit down
I'm on the road still feeling alone in yo city soon I'm boutta touchdown
Baby you was my best caption
Sayin that you fuck wit me but I don't fuck wit you
Cuz You always be tellin lies you never tell the truth
Always tryna argue baby I'm not really in the mood (I'm not really in the mood)
I'm a real ass nigga man fuck what you heard
(Say) you don't like drama, yet you listen to the birds
I been in my zone, why would I be concerned
Getting to the bag yeah I really earned it
Remember when we used to hang and I made you nervous
Broke my heart, Let's be real, did I deserve it
We Here for a reason, tell me what was your purpose
You don't gotta be insecure, we still learning
I got all these hoes on my line but I'm still swervin
Tell me what's on your mind I don't even wanna waste yo time no more
I don't even wanna waste yo time I just want you to be mine
We should go back in time just so I can change your life
And Make sure I make you a friend
Instead of tryna make you my wife

Instead of tryna make you my wife
I think it's better if we just stay friends
Cuz You be makin shit so complicated
Baby I told you Ive had enough im done playin
Trippin cux my phone off and you can't check my location
(She like) what ever happened to our love
