You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart
Praying to a sky all black
Looking at my phone like she finna call back
But last night I feel like probably ended all that
'Cause by now she woulda sent a text in all caps
Then another one tryna take all back
Saying fuck you, I miss you or I hate you so much
'Cause girls only say "hate you" to the guys they love
I know, I know, I know
The highs, the lows it comes and goes
You say "be real" I try, I don't
'Cause you take anything and just make it everything
Kept my phone on silent ever since you got a ring (funny right?)
And I never cheated (I mean, maybe once, twice)
One time don't change everything
She ask why I don't feel the same, I'm still the same
She's still insane and now she's saying
When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart
Okay, skeet, smoke
Sleep, call
Miss, text
Woke, spoke
Lie, feel, Lisa ew
Time, kill, months, still
I got somebody baby mama calling me daddy
I drank too much, please call me a cabby
Penthouse after party hoes want that addy
Fuck they can ride with us, crawl in a Caddy
Third row is when you call, I hit cancel
Really? I hit answer, fuck I hate when that happens
Phone in my pocket for the whole night
And you heard bitches screamin' 'til my phone dies
Then she text me like "why you still talk to my mama?"
How the fuck you run around with condoms?
Why you make me get this tattoo?
Man, fuck this tattoo you the reason I wasn't single in college
What? all because I had you
Nigga I don't even have you
How am I suppose to get past you?
And she called the next guy spillin' some real shit
Now they problems he got to deal with
When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart
Girl, don't believe them hoes
'Cause they don't wanna see us together
And you already know you're too fly
But baby, don't get your hair caught in the propellers
I be tryna tell her these hoes is jealous
You know they never like it when you never say never
Long hair, red bone, but her pussy is hairless
Muah, I french kiss it like we in Paris
I be screaming out, "ain't no woman like the one I got"
But she be always worrying about the one I fucked
She said it's gonna be me, myself and I
Damn, that would make me a one-eyed fuck
Sch, I was so mad
Damn, you used to ride a nigga like a moped
But players fuck up, my bad
And just to keep from crying, I laughed
When you said it was over
You shot right through my heart
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Ooh, I was so mad
I could've seen this coming right from the start
You should beware, beware, beware of a women with a broken heart
Baby, last time calling me baby
Last time calling me crazy
Crazy, crazy
Baby, last time calling me baby
Last time calling me crazy
Crazy, crazy

Line by Line Meaning
When you said it was over
When you ended our relationship
You shot right through my heart
It hurt me deeply
Why you let these hoes tear what we had right apart
Why did you allow other women to ruin our relationship
Ooh, I was so mad
I was very angry
I could've seen this coming right from the start
I could have predicted this outcome from the beginning
You should beware, beware, beware of a woman with a broken heart
You should be cautious and wary of a woman who has been hurt before
Praying to a sky all black
Feeling hopeless and lost
Looking at the stars like they finna talk back
Desperately seeking guidance or a sign
Looking at my phone like she finna call back
Hopeful that my ex-partner will contact me
But last night I feel like probably ended all that
Realizing that it is unlikely to happen
'Cause by now she woulda sent a text in all caps
If she was going to contact me, she would have done it by now
Then another one tryna take all back
Then she would try to take back what she said
Saying fuck you, I miss you or I hate you so much
Expressing mixed emotions towards me
'Cause girls only say "hate you" to the guys they love
Girls sometimes say they hate someone they love out of frustration or confusion
I know, I know, I know
I am aware
The highs, the lows it comes and goes
Relationships have their ups and downs
You say "be real" I try, I don't
You want me to be honest, but it's difficult
'Cause you take anything and just make it everything
You blow things out of proportion
Kept my phone on silent ever since you got a ring (funny right?)
I turned my phone off to avoid getting in trouble with my partner
And I never cheated (I mean, maybe once, twice)
I was unfaithful to you, but I'm downplaying it
One time don't change everything
One mistake does not define a relationship
She ask why I don't feel the same, I'm still the same
My ex-partner wants to know why I am no longer attracted to them
She's still insane and now she's saying
She's still crazy and causing problems
Okay, skeet, smoke
Having casual sex
Sleep, call
Contacting someone after sleeping together
Miss, text
Missing someone and texting them
Woke, spoke
Awakening to talk
Lie, feel, Lisa ew
Lying about feeling disgusted by something
Time, kill, months, still
Time passes by slowly during a breakup
I got somebody baby mama calling me daddy
I am in a complicated relationship with a woman who has a child with someone else
I drank too much, please call me a cabby
I am drunk and need a ride home
Penthouse after party hoes want that addy
Women at the party want to come to my penthouse
Fuck they can ride with us, crawl in a Caddy
They can ride with us in a Cadillac
Third row is when you call, I hit cancel
I ignore your call when you are not a priority
Really? I hit answer, fuck I hate when that happens
I accidentally answered your call
Phone in my pocket for the whole night
Ignoring calls all night
And you heard bitches screamin' 'til my phone dies
Women are calling me non-stop
Then she text me like "why you still talk to my mama?"
My ex-partner is jealous of me talking to her mother
How the fuck you run around with condoms?
My partner believes I am cheating on her
Why you make me get this tattoo?
My partner got a tattoo of my name because I pressured them into it
Man, fuck this tattoo you the reason I wasn't single in college
I regret making my partner get a tattoo, and it caused problems in our relationship
What? all because I had you
I blame my partner for my relationship problems
Nigga I don't even have you
I don't even want you anymore
How am I suppose to get past you?
How can I move on from you?
And she called the next guy spillin' some real shit
My ex-partner is talking to someone else about our relationship
Now they problems he got to deal with
Now that guy has to deal with the same issues I did in the relationship
Girl, don't believe them hoes
Don't listen to what other women say about us
'Cause they don't wanna see us together
Other women are jealous of our relationship
And you already know you're too fly
You already know how attractive you are
But baby, don't get your hair caught in the propellers
Don't let haters bring you down
I be tryna tell her these hoes is jealous
I try to reassure my partner that other women are just jealous
You know they never like it when you never say never
Women hate it when you say you will never do something
Long hair, red bone, but her pussy is hairless
My partner is physically attractive, but has no pubic hair
Muah, I french kiss it like we in Paris
I am sexually attracted to my partner
I be screaming out, "ain't no woman like the one I got"
My partner is special to me and I value our relationship
But she be always worrying about the one I fucked
My partner is always concerned about my past infidelity
She said it's gonna be me, myself and I
My ex-partner is moving on and focusing on herself
Damn, that would make me a one-eyed fuck
If my partner leaves me, I will be alone
Sch, I was so mad
I was extremely angry
Damn, you used to ride a nigga like a moped
My partner was sexually active with me
But players fuck up, my bad
I made a mistake and I am sorry
And just to keep from crying, I laughed
To avoid showing emotion, I laughed
Baby, last time calling me baby
My partner is ending our relationship
Last time calling me crazy
My partner will no longer put up with my behavior
Crazy, crazy
Repeating the fact that my behavior has been wild and erratic

@@notdon5007 These souls, who are the most deeply in the lies, shall have the most powerful testimony's if they come to REPENTANCE.
Every one, EVERY ONE is called to repentance, to born again, to count the cost of becoming CHRISTIAN.
For we all are HUMAN BEINGS and sinned and fallen short in the glory of GOD, therefore to us all a way to SALVATION is given, THROUGH CHRIST goes the only way, WHICH IS NARROW not wide.
"people are uncomfortable speaking about this" - that`s because they SIN that bad.
And if truth hurts us that bad, we then better pray, that we never gonna know nor understand how badly sick and evil we have become all these 3 times:
- before the flood,
- before the burn up city,
- now, before the fire.
3 blown up chances. Why are we worry about climate changes? No climate change. All we do witness is THE (RIGHTEOUS) WRATH OF GOD. Why? - cause we`re SICK AND EVIL. Were WICKED.
Souls, time to stop using all these emojis and hand signs, for all these origin from masonry and do so in both places: online and offline.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
All the famous and rich names give up being a CHRISTIAN (if they, a FTMs and MTFs even were ) on that very moment they signed the contract or as they also admit, that they did made the deal with the devil.
