MERCEDES
Brent Faiyaz Lyrics

You don't really wanna be my lady (you don't, you don't)
You don't truly want to be in a relationship with me, even if you say you do.

You know it's more than just drivin' Mercedes (more than Mercedes)
Being with me entails much more than just being able to ride in a fancy car.

These hoes gon' call and drive you crazy (they gon' drive you crazy)
Other women will call and try to drive you and our relationship to the brink of insanity.

They just tryna f- and have my baby
These women are just trying to have sex with me and get pregnant by me.

My block too hot to have a lady (my block too hot)
My neighborhood is too dangerous to have a woman in my life.

All these detectives stay investigatin' (investigatin')
The police are always watching me and investigating me.

Play it smart, no hesitatin' (no hesitation)
We need to be cautious and think ahead in our actions, without any hesitation.

If they can't get to me, they'll try my baby (my baby)
If the investigators can't find any dirt on me, they will go after our child instead.

It's a party all night, sunlight (let it out)
We're having fun all night and the sun is shining bright in the morning, so let's enjoy ourselves.

(Don't want no one around when I'm comin' down) all of the good times
I don't want anyone to see me when I'm feeling down or less than my best, but we're having a great time otherwise.

Goodbyes still high, still right
Even though we have to say goodbye eventually, we're both feeling good and happy right now.

It's gon' rain here all day, girl (all day long)
It's going to rain all day, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves.

But we still have tomorrow
We have the future to look forward to, even after this moment passes.

Lady, I don't know how
I'm not sure how to proceed with you or our relationship.

You know me for a month, now you wanna be my b-
You've only known me for a month and you already want us to be in a relationship.

(That's the shit I be talkin' 'bout)
This is exactly the kind of situation I try to avoid.

You want me all to you, you don't know what I come with
You desire to have me all to yourself, but you don't know what negative aspects come with being in a relationship with me.

I don't mean to put you down, but I know you're down
I don't want to discourage or hurt you, but I know you're not feeling your best.

If you wasn't around (how do I know that?)
I'm not sure how I would be feeling or what I'd be doing if you weren't in my life.

Maybe I'm askin' too much, you offerin' love
I may be expecting too much from you, especially since you are only offering your love.

I don't think that's enough, mm (I'ma need more than that)
I don't think love is enough to sustain a relationship, and I will need more from you.

This shit ain't nothin' new, yeah
This is nothing new, and I am used to dealing with these kinds of situations.

I got too much I could lose
I have too much at risk if something goes wrong in our relationship.

Gotta be careful who you choose
It's essential to be careful when deciding who to be in a relationship with.

'Cause this ain't like the life you had with your old dude
Being in a relationship with me is entirely different from what you were used to with your previous partner.

And if you don't like bein' alone at night (yeah, yeah)
If you don't like being alone at night, maybe being with me isn't the best idea.

Then maybe I'm not your type
Perhaps I'm not the right person for you if you don't want to be alone at night.
