Shoutout to Karl for this one
I got you, you got me
And baby you can roger that like a copy
I like it when you talking back, you so bossy
Put you on my bad list, you so naughty
I’m not Santa, you still gon get a gift when you come home
Make sure the door’s closed, when you twist the lock
Don’t wanna see you wit your clothes on
Because I got you, you got me
I said baby what you see, she said you in me
I enter her facility, like it was Italy
I felt her fertility, without ability
I went inside her mentally, and put in imagery
So every time she think of me, she think of liberty
I set her body free
I prophesied the prophecy, would be a part of me
Can call me Cupid, but I struck 4 of her main arteries
And this ain’t science, cause you know you got me
Ain’t no you without me girl
If you were worried 'bout where
I been or who I saw or
What club I went to with my homies
Baby don't worry you know that you got me
Got me

And
And you can go anywhere
As long as you know I’m the one
Or You can be hanging wit the ladies
And I’m not worried
Just know that they not me
Talk to em
She not you
They not us
In God we Trust
We had trust issues
Alone when you cried, to dry ya eyes wit the tissues
I remember times, I had the time to say, I miss you
I wish I coulda kissed you, instead I broke ya heart
I wasn’t smart I didn’t meant to
And now I’m in the dark
Wondering why, I wasn’t by your side
When you let them tears fly, I could’ve caught em out the sky
And I apologize, if time were your tears I wouldn’t let the time fly
I realize, I wasn’t perfect
And baby you were worth it
And if I could rewind, the past of time I would reverse it
Then practice and rehearse
To kill all of that nonsense and put it in a hearse
But it keep reviving, time after time
But I can’t heal the hurt
Can’t repair the pain
I can’t stop the suffer
So I say let it rain( let it rain)
Aye
If you were worried 'bout where (if you worried)
I been or who I saw or (who I saw)
What club I went to with my homies (my homies)
Baby don't worry you know that you got me

Just know that they not me

They not we
Well I’ll be there in a minute, and you already that I’m in it, cause you know that I gotchu
