Betrayal
D.E.Life Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You thought you could save me
You thought you could play me
The mood stopped, you betrayed me
True thoughts made you hate me
You thought you could save me
(But you're the one who needs it)
You thought you could play me
(I gave you what you needed)
This went on for too long
It ain't right
But I know I don't need you
I'll do better on my own now
You never found me
I don't need nobody
Don't need you around me (Yeah)
It ain't right but I know
That I'll do better on my own now
(Whoa, uh)
Ridin' too fast in the whip
You could say that I'm coming in clutch
I used to rock with her heavy but I cut her off
Cuz I heard she be doing too much
I had to learn through the years that these hoes for everyone
And niggas be fake, never trust
Not tryna go fall in love with nobody
Hard to tell the difference from love and the lust
They be saying I'm spazzin' too much
Now I got everyone hitting me up out the blue
To congratulate me cuz I'm up now
They be taking my kindness for weakness
Not with disrespect, you can really get shut down
I just looked at my left, as I looked at my right
This plane bout to go, got to buss down
Took a while to realize that nobody's solid on Earth
I don't know who to trust now
Things done changed (Yeah yeah)
I been looking at my life
Thinking bout how far I came
New hoes texting me a lot
They used to playing them games
I ain't asked for no umbrella
When I went through the rain
I don't do it for fame
You thought you could save me
You thought you could play me
The mood stopped, you betrayed me
True thoughts made you hate me
You thought you could save me
(But you're the one who needs it)
You thought you could play me
(I gave you what you needed)
This went on for too long
It ain't right
But I know I don't need you
I'll do better on my own now
You never found me
I don't need nobody
Don't need you around me (Yeah)




It ain't right but I know
That I'll do better on my own now
