How you gonna-?
Mmm, mmm

Tryna show out for the 'Gram, that's we doin' now? (Doin' now)
Tryna act like you the man like you can do without (do without)
You was just up on my line like, "Can we work it out?" (work it out)
You done got around them n- now you showin' out
Like I wasn't just in your bed, ay
Chillin' all in your crib, ay
Like you ain't give me head, ay
Baby, don't front like that, ay
Like I didn't hold you down
Like I didn't make you drown, ay
Baby, don't switch up now
I just wanna know how

How you gonna front on what we had?
Like we wasn't with each other every day
Like you weren't callin' me bae
How you gonna act like I ain't have you sprung?
I thought we built a bond they couldn't break
So you tellin' me it's fake?
How you gonna act-

Like you ain't thinkin' 'bout me right now, boy, don't play
If I told you pull up on me you'll be on the way
Don't try to act like you don't love me I can tell by how you f- me
You say you over me, you're bluffin'
Boy, you know that you was just in

You was just in my bed, ay
Chillin' all at my crib, ay (oh)
Like you ain't give me head (you ain't give me head)
Baby, don't front like that (baby, don't front like that)
Like I didn't hold you down
Like I didn't make you drown (like I didn't make you drown)
Baby, don't switch up now (don't switch up now)
I just wanna know how

How you gonna front on what we had? (Front on what we had)
Like we wasn't with each other every day
Like you weren't callin' me bae (oh, oh)
How you gonna act like I ain't have you sprung? (Like I ain't have you sprung)
I thought we built a bond they couldn't break
So you tellin' me it's fake? (So you tellin' me it's fake?)

How you gonna act?
Baby, don't front like that




How you gonna act like that?
