liar
Abigail Asante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A-B, at times Iβ€²m burning, books wide open, girls ain't learning
(Biggz the Engineer, baby)
If my man donβ€²t respect then I just dash when I can bad him

A-B, at times I'm burning, books wide open, girls ain't learning
I sense that Iβ€²m discerning, hunger, manna got tables turning
Got bars and Iβ€²m so chocolate, I'm so good, Iβ€²m so bueno
If my guy is so trash then I say "Bye" when he says "Hello"
Don't come β€²round here with bullshit
Don't come β€²round here with games
I don't fuck man so loosely, I beg a man, please say names
I add but you're subtracting, you always take, not adding
If my man donβ€²t respect then I just dash when I can bad him

One boy said run their Pβ€²s, things got hot so I blew that fire
Don't bring me no engagement, had your back, more time youβ€²re a liar
Had girls there talking shit and I heard that prior
Oh no, what a big mistake, that boy's a well-known liar

One boy said run their Pβ€²s, things got hot so I blew that fire
Don't bring me no engagement, had your back, more time youβ€²re a liar
Had girls there talking shit and I heard that prior
Oh no, what a big mistake, that boy's a well-known liar

One ting I had was acting, big cap, you ain't on budget
Donβ€²t try and pull my strings, it would be hard, I ainβ€²t no puppet
I told you "Once, not twice", just know I ain't no muppet
This one is for my ex, I know you see this finger, suck it
Iβ€²m bad and I'm so good and Iβ€²m so misunderstood
I know you move all mad 'cause your boy just wish he could
Gotta spot that clean and clear, want me back? Wait right there
Boys move dumb when they have good girls
And I donβ€²t know why, gotta make that clear
I move sick, I'm on my ones, this ain't no COVID, A-Bβ€²s won
I do shit all by myself β€²cause I don't need man, gotta get that done
I lost friends from boys and misters
They move mad like they ainβ€²t fake
Was an act, no sister-sister, I thank God I dodged that snake

One boy said run their P's, things got hot so I blew that fire
Donβ€²t bring me no engagement
Had your back, more time you're a liar
Had girls there talking shit and I heard that prior
Oh no, what a big mistake, that boyβ€²s a well-known liar
One boy said run their P's, things got hot so I blew that fire
Don't bring me no engagement, had your back, more time youβ€²re a liar
Had girls there talking shit and I heard that prior
Oh no, what a big mistake, that boyβ€²s a well-known liar
