ENCHANTING Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was home when I got a text with a screenshot from another bitch (oh)
He say, "She a homie from around the way, we don't even get down that way"
I know I'm not exaggeratin', some shit ain't addin' up (explain it now)
'Bout to pull up to his place now, don't give a fuck 'bout no neighbors (ah)
Know he gon' hear from me, if he don't pick up my FaceTime
That's when he started, so let me remind him
He knows it can get violent when I get to crying, oh-oh-ohOoh, he move ways that I wouldn't move
Ooh, can't be honest when I got the proof
Ooh, playin' games, he know he gon' lose
Ooh, can't do better if he wanted to
Tell me why, oh why? (Oh why?)
Tell me why do niggas lie more than once or twice (no-no-no)
They can't compromise
Tell me why, oh why? (Oh why?)
Tell me why do niggas lie more than once or twice (oh no, oh)
But I won't act surprised, yeah
It's killin' me (yeah)
He lookin' for sympathy, yeah (sympathy)
It's clear to me
He ain't movin' no differently (yeah)
Tell me why, oh why? (Oh why?)
Tell me why do niggas lie more than once or twice
They don't never compromise
Tell me why, oh why? Tell me why do niggas lie
More than once or twice
They can't compromise
Tell me why, oh why? Tell me why do niggas lie
More than once or twice
But I won't act surprised
