Why you still ride with him?
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
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, 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
