Depression
The woman in my life, they hate my guts

I don't think I'm someone they can trust
Ain't fuck my baby mama in a month
Damn, I think we really growin' up
Sometimes I feel like pussy is a must

Then sometimes I feel like pussy too much
I'll find true love ain't really in a rush
I want that old school love, one touch could make a blush
But I'm stuck

No luck, no one to trust
If I can find
Someone like you to get me out of the dust
I can't keep doin' this shit, no, no, this shit got me feelin' in raw

All the things I told you before, I can't believe you set out your jaw
The things we talked about in the future, but this shit right here I never saw
Why you ain't give me a call, now I'm in a awe
Deep depression

Depression, depression
Deep depression
Depression, depression
Depression

Depression, depression
Recession
Progression, oppression
Yes sir

This right here gonna be the best shit I ever made, God

For the last time, for the last time
For the last time, go on my word
