You can't even sit in peace
'Cause all of these niggas be on you
I'm just sayin' I can be (yeah)
The one that you call and you talk to, girl

I'll share my world with you
If you're gonna waste your time (yeah)
Then waste your time with me
I mean, honestly
Open your eyes and see, who's givin' you what you need

If you're gonna waste your time
Then waste your time with me
You could have all the space
More than you need
It's no pressure, girl
If they got time to waste (waste)
Waste it with me

And I ain't worried 'bout them (oh)
Girl, you all that I see (all that I see)
And I am who I am (oh)
And I be where I be (where I be)
If you ever hit me on the late night (yeah)
I'll give you a clear mind
Might give you some insight

I'll share my world with you
If you're gonna waste your time (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Then waste your time with me
I mean, honestly
Open your eyes and see, who's givin' you what you need

If you're gonna waste your time
Then waste your time with me
You can have all the space
More than you need
It's no pressure, girl
If they got time to waste (waste)
Waste it with me

Don't close your eyes to get away (ooh)
Just bang my line and I'll arrange it (ooh)
Beautiful, girl, you're stainless
You'll be fine, I'll be painless, yeah
All I'm drinkin' is champagne
All you want is the same thing

Yeah
The Ten Thousand Building, get your ass an apartment
Put you inside a G-Class, that's just a starter kit
Plenty things count in life, but none of 'em is a thought of it
New piece around my neck, it's chest games
'Cause shorty stay with calculated moves like Beth Harmon
Swear I'm more "Purple Rain" Prince than Prince Charmin'
Disappointment, I stay expectin' it, the pessimist
Gold medalist, flushed the Magnums just so they not collectin' my specimens, damn
The way she with papi, man, you would think she's a veteran on remembrance
Cleanin' lady sweep the room daily for all the evidence of everything I ever did
Do they have a pool there? Do they have a gym there?
You used to do skincare, but now you do swimwear
Your ex-roommate got a condo that's downtown
But she got no furniture in the crib, I been there
Checkmate, even though you hate that I even check her
I'll still get an E for effort
Only time I play the back and forth is Aaliyah record
If I let you talk first, then nobody is speakin' second
Fluent in passive aggression, that's why you actin' dismissive
Hearin' me out for once would require you actually listen, damn (damn)
The boy is back, I never turned my back
I just lapped 'em, so now all that they see is my back
Say that then, Maybach Benz with me in the back
When I was in Acura, I still couldn't clean up my act
Whenever I tell the truth, you feel like you bein' attacked
But that come with bein' attached, so how 'bout we leave it at that?

If you're gonna waste your time
Then waste your time with me
You can have all the space
More than you need
It's no pressure, girl




If they got time to waste (waste)
Waste it with me

Jesus is the way to Heaven , there is no other way. We have to do what God demands of us. So if you believe in God , but don't pray. Don't know the Bible. You can start today , theres no use in just treating God like he's an after thought. That is if you truly love him and wish to go to Heaven. If it takes humbling yourself will you do it ? If it takes studying the word and praying, if you love God you will do these things.

Jesus is the way , love to all here.

Take thought of what I said. Also Imagine we believe God but we say what is right for us to do as if we are God himself. We make our own rules for our life and claim to love God, we claim we are going to Heaven by default. But the way we think and what we do has been effected by the environment around us and the nature we are faced with being humans that are sinners. We go against God, everyone has.

So it is no surprise that we humans can claim things and be wrong. We cannot make the rules that we want , we are below God. We're all guilty , we have to do What God says is right to love God. We have to love his rules and what he says. We can't play by our own rules and win in the end if those rules don't apply to the game. Just because we say we will go to Heaven does that make it true just because we said it. We need to check with God and his word.

So do some thinking and think about it. Have you truly seeked God ?

Are you completely transparent with your own faults and shortcomings?

Do you suffer with pride , talking about others , not forgiving people, anger. Sadness. Im sure many relate to me and how I've acted then. And the things I've felt.

I'm just like everyone else , a sinner in need of Jesus. I made mistakes I still struggle sometimes. *I'm not defending anything I've done wrong I'm only being honest.

Honesty is key , your real thoughts and feelings. What you go through and are dealing with.

Get to know Jesus, you don't have to. But if you love God and Heaven is something important to you then there's no better thing to do. Literally

I have to say this , Hell is real and people do go there. Till this day and until the end of revelation takes place.
I have to be honest because I don't want anyone to Be tricked into going there. See , satan has to trick us to go to Hell. It's when we believe him and his lies *like Adam and eve

we get pulled away from God and in the end humans go to Hell if they don't listen to Gods Warnings and accept his mercy and grace.

This is a warning and a reminder out of love. Because God cares where we end up.
