It's The Way
B.O.P. Lyrics

All I wanted wasn't much
I didn't have big expectations or demands.

I don't even feel a rush no more
I don't get excited or thrilled by things anymore.

Validation from the lust
I used to seek validation and acceptance from women I had sexual relationships with.

I don't think it's gonna come no more
I don't believe I can get the validation I used to seek anymore.

But you, do
But you seem to understand me and my past experiences.

Had some women that I blew, through
I had some previous sexual relationships with some women that didn't last long.

I'll be fine if I lose, you
I think I can handle it if I end up losing you.

It might take some getting used, to
It may take some time for me to adjust to the change.

But I've been used all my life
I've been taken advantage of and used by others for my entire life.

Can't afford to pay the price
I can't afford the consequences or costs of my actions.

Told each woman on my phone
I've communicated this intention to multiple women I have contact with.

Yeen nothin but a vice
You (women) are just a temporary pleasure for me, not meaningful relationships.

All they see is what I did
Women only see my sexual actions, not the emotional toll they took on me.

But they don't see the shit it does
They don't see the negative impact it has had on my mental and emotional wellbeing.

You can't tell me what it is
You can't truly understand or empathize with my experiences.

Cuz you don't know the way it was
Because you haven't lived through my past experiences.

I could talk about my BBC
I could talk about my sexual prowess and physical attributes.

But you did it when you walked in the room
But you already know how I am and what I'm about.

Every time I hit it you just glow like the moon
You really enjoy the sexual encounters we have.

But you get hot like the sun
But you become jealous and possessive of me when other women show interest in me.

When the other women get to choosing me
When other women express interest in me.

It ain't rocket science that you losing me
It's not hard to see that you're pushing me away with your behavior.

Why you accusing me?
Why are you trying to blame me for our problems?

Told you what it was from the jump
I was honest with you about my intentions from the beginning.

This is how it used to be
This is how I used to live my life.

I don't love em, I don't chase em, I duck em
I don't have feelings of love or affection for women, I just ignore them.

Wiz Khalifa taught me that so it's fuck em
I got this attitude from rapper Wiz Khalifa, who has a similar outlook on women.

I don't wanna get too close to each other
I don't want a deep or meaningful connection with any one woman.

I won't hit it unless I got a rubber
I won't have sex without protection.

Cuz my feelings to raw for you
Because my emotional vulnerability is too much for you to handle.

I really can't give it all to you
I am unable or unwilling to give my full emotional self to anyone.

Never healed from what I used to do
I never fully recovered from the negative effects of my past sexual behavior.

I told Ceo open fruity loops
I told my friend the producer Ceo to use a music software called Fruity Loops.

No bluescado
No blues guitar or similar instruments in the music.

But this the only way that imma get through to you
But making music is the only way I can truly express myself to you.
