Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He say he love you, you say it back
Even though you just the-
Even though you just the-
Why you still ride with him?
He say he love you, you say it back
Even though you just the side woman
And all yo dreams when you confide in ′em
You heard he planning out a sneak way
Yeah, y'all got this weekend
But his main bitch got the weekdays
Text him after work while she making dinner for him each day
Vibrations when it′s silent
He creep out of his lady room
To send you back emojis for replying
Yo' name is saved as something else
Incase she check his phone for other women
He don't want his shawty wilding
And you okay with that
You think the test you took gon′ make his switch his stance
He′ll probably say he doesn't know you
When you press him with authority
Confessions to his shorty as a woman making him forcibly
Deny it could be his
How that make you feel?
How that make you feel?
Deny it could be his like
How that make you feel?
Why you still ride with him?
He say he love you, you say it back
Even though you just the side woman
You love to tell him your secrets
And all yo′ dreams when you confide in 'em
You heard he planning out a sneak way
Yeah, yall got this weekend
But his main bitch got the weekdays
Text him after work while she making dinner for him each day
And I don′t want come between you and your man
But you know you need love better than he planned
I can't help but wait
Till you find someone
Who won′t break your heart
(You have "2" new message)
Honestly, you got some fucking nerve
To be talking to me like that
We not about to be fucking doing this
She used to Prada, she used to have nada
She used to using me for eulogies of niggas prior
She used to slide on me & die on me until I revive her
She used to lie, but I'm too liable for honest
She used to use my mama to get to me
Hit me like "she remember me?"
Maybe old you, maybe you before the Protools
You may be old news 'till new stories expose you
I reminisce bout what I owed you before the cold dude
23 with bold moves & no dude to hold you
I used to envy the evil you would hold too
You felt important, I fell for sorting
Your shortcomings like
The long game was something I had humming
But I was fronting, that shit was nothing
Parked car conversations & patience
I′m used to waiting, maneuver satan the face of Sanaa Lathan
Telling my niggas fuck y′all, hating
Can't leave her though
Her eyes vacant when I gaze in
And I phase in and out of love and lust
So seamless
Couldn′t fathom the phantom without you in that seat and
Riding down the shore on the weekends
And fucking that evening
Until you feel it peaking and let me leave in
I'm leaving
She use to Yeezy, you wouldn′t believe me
Bad and bougie, she ball like Lori consumed by it freely
Misabuse this house as a home every noon when she see me
I been her scapegoat for insecurities brewing uneasy
Excessive purchases cover depressive worthlessness
I see the surge of her effort grow from the permanent
Scars she might tent to hide, but I constantly see resurfacing
Purpose to break the cycle, but demons serve as disturbances
I've been
Praying you find yo′ way outside this labyrinth
Staying here by yo' side since you destructive
Knowing that I can't save you from yo′ madness
Laying here as yo′ crutch and such
I've been
Praying you find yo′ way outside this labyrinth
Staying here by yo' side since you destructive
Knowing that I can′t save you from yo' madness
Laying here as yo′ crutch and such
Reminiscing on conversations we carried up
Premonitions on promises where we married up
Demolition cause honestly, we was scared as fuck
Prepared to let us die before infidelity tear us up
Spare a peace of yo' mind to find your tranquility
Love is not a topic designed to fit yo' ability
Struggle for stability, and hopefully we see it clear
′Cause death can′t do us part
If we can't make it through this fuckin year
I′ve been
Praying you find yo' way outside this labyrinth
Staying here by yo′ side since you destructive
Knowing that I can't save you from yo′ madness
Laying here as yo' crutch and such
I've been
Praying you find yo′ way outside this labyrinth
Staying here by yo′ side since you destructive
Knowing that I can't save you from yo′ madness
Laying here as yo' crutch and such

She used to lie, but I'm too liable for honest
She used to deceive me, but I am too trustworthy for her lies
She used to use my mama to get to me
She used to manipulate my mother to gain access to me
Hit me like 'she remember me?'
She messaged me asking if my mother remembers her
Maybe old you, maybe you before the Protools
Maybe the old version of you, before you started using technology to manipulate me
You may be old news 'till new stories expose you
You might be forgotten until new revelations bring out the truth about you
I reminisce bout what I owed you before the cold dude
I remember the debts I owed you before I became emotionally distant
23 with bold moves & no dude to hold you
At 23, you were independent and didn't need a man to support you
I used to envy the evil you would hold too

I had a strategy in mind for a long-term relationship
But I was fronting, that shit was nothing

I am accustomed to waiting and navigating difficult situations, even if it feels like dealing with Satan in the form of Sanaa Lathan
Telling my niggas fuck y'all, hating
I am defending you to my friends who criticize our relationship
Can't leave her though

Her eyes vacant when I gaze in
Your eyes appear empty when I look into them
And I phase in and out of love and lust
My feelings for you fluctuate between love and desire
So seamless
So effortlessly
Couldn’t fathom the phantom without you in that seat and
I couldn't imagine the absence of your presence in that seat next to me
Riding down the shore on the weekends
Driving along the coast on the weekends
And fucking that evening
And having sex that night
Until you feel it peaking and let me leave in
Until you reach your climax and then allow me to leave

I am aware that I cannot rescue you from your insanity
Laying here as your crutch and such
I remain here as your support and aid
Reminiscing on conversations we carried up
Reflecting on the meaningful conversations we had
Premonitions on promises where we married up
Foreseeing the commitments we made to each other
Demolition cause honestly, we was scared as fuck
Breaking apart because honestly, we were extremely fearful
Prepared to let us die before infidelity tear us up
Ready to let our relationship end before infidelity destroys us
Spare a piece of your mind to find your tranquility
Allocate some of your thoughts to discover the peace and calmness within yourself
Love is not a topic designed to fit your ability
Love cannot be tailored to suit your capabilities
Struggle for stability, and hopefully we see it clear
Struggling to find stability, and hopefully we can understand it clearly
'Cause death can't do us part
Because death cannot separate us
If we can't make it through this fucking year
If we cannot survive and overcome the challenges of this year
I've been praying you find your way outside this labyrinth
I have been hoping that you can escape from this complicated and confusing situation
Staying here by your side since you destructive
I have been staying by your side even though you are self-destructive
Knowing that I can't save you from your madness
I am aware that I cannot rescue you from your insanity
Laying here as your crutch and such
I remain here as your support and aid
