When You Love Me
I.D. Lyrics

It always be the ones you love you gotta watch em close
People you love the most are the ones who can hurt you the most, so you have to keep an eye on them.

They snake you out behind yo back and you don't even know
People you trust can betray you without you being aware of it.

I'm getting high like everyday to keep from feeling low
I use drugs to avoid feeling sad or down.

I put my feelings in a bottle till it overflow
I hide my emotions until they become overwhelming.

I'm finna do this off the top so it might take a minute
I'm going to rap without a script, so it might take some time.

I gave them everything they had but they gone say I didn't
I sacrificed a lot for others, but they deny it.

And all I ever been was true like it was my religion
I always remained honest and authentic, just like a religious belief.

So I'm confused I watched my brothers turn to competition
I'm puzzled to see my close friends becoming rivals.

And you gone miss me when I'm gone
People will realize my worth when I'm no longer around.

Lately I been on my own
Recently, I have been alone and independent.

Put my shit on dnd so they stop blowing up my phone
I ignore calls and messages by putting my phone on 'Do Not Disturb' mode.

It's like since I left group i ain't been right but I ain't wrong
Ever since I left my music group, I feel different, but I made the right choice.

Records labels can't come looking for my soul because it's gone
I won't sell my soul to record labels for fame or success.

That might be place you stay but you ain't happy that's not home
The place you live might not be your true home if you're not happy there.

I'm not talking PPP but I just wanna be alone
I don't refer to the Paycheck Protection Program, but I just want to be by myself.

I was always taught to Hustle I got love for Nia long
I was taught to work hard to achieve my goals, and I admire Nia Long.

Talking to my self like no biggie we'll be notorious
I talk to myself, reminding me that I could be famous like The Notorious B.I.G.

Hoping off the flight with them hoodies and they recording us
We get off the plane wearing hoodies, and people record us because of our fame.

Only time they'll mention me a bust is if I'm touring one
They will only talk about me failing if I'm on a failed tour.

Grammy conversations I'll prolly make it in four of em
I'm confident that I will be nominated for four Grammy Awards.

Now do they love me do they love me not
I question whether people truly love me or not.

Not twenty one but imma savage I been through a lot
I'm not yet twenty-one years old, but I have experienced a lot of struggles.

And I'm just talk about my pain they think I'm sending shots
When I express my emotions, people misconstrue it as an attack on them.

We had the story figured out until you changed the plot
We had everything under control until something unexpected happened.

Trust me I'm aware this love shit dangerous
I know that love can be risky and have negative consequences.

I just want the money for my fam fuck being famous
I don't care to be famous, I just want to make money to support my family.

Shit that broke my heart I'm still adapting to the changes
I'm still adjusting to the painful experiences that have impacted me.

Peep they moving weird I just fall back and never say shit
I observe them acting in strange ways, but I choose not to confront them.

Back to back we been official
We have always been honest and respectful towards each other.

Was taught to play the cards I'm dealt that's why I'm dealing with you
I learned to accept the circumstances I'm given, which is why I'm still connected to you.

They only say my name for fame or if it's beneficial
People only mention me for personal gain or to gain fame.

You gotta be down on yo last to see who really with you
When you're struggling, you will see who truly supports you and stays by your side.
