Tired of the conversations, questions 'bout
Every time I leave the house, when I'm in or when I'm out

At the end of the day, you know yourself
And I'm tired of the times when you run your mouth
Time's only running out, baby, you made me take a vow
At the end of the day, you know yourself
Can't hear when you're talking loud
Oh, you do the most, this shit's getting old, we both said enough
Went through this moment once when, my GPS broke
Don't know where to go
Every time I'm lost, I'm found

He explains that he doesn't mistreat her, but he feels that she is the one making things difficult. She constantly complains and argues, but he has had enough. Brown accuses her of being drunk and unruly, and not taking responsibility for her actions.
He goes on to express that every time he feels lost, he finds himself again. He tells her that she is wasting her time playing games, and that their relationship is not a lost-and-found. Brown suggests that she is trying too hard to prove herself to others, while he is more concerned with his financial success.
Overall, the song is about Brown's frustration with a woman who he feels is not living up to his expectations. He acknowledges his own success and hard work, and suggests that she needs to work harder to keep up with him.
