Been a long time
Since I last came back here
Left it all with a head so clear
Now I’m losing my mind
It’s been a long time
And I don’t wanna waste no more time
Talking with yo ass bout late last night
I don’t want no relationship with you
All you do is make nightmares come true
Making me believe I ain’t need no school
Making me believe I’ma be that fool for you
I’m fed up
Tryna have to clean your mess up
You was ‘posed to give me pleasure
You was ‘posed to be my treasure
So, please don’t cry
I don’t think I can take that shit tonight, tonight
Oh, please don’t lie
I see the wicked ways up in your eyes, your eyes
Just let me fly
(Let me fly)
Let me fly
(Let me fly)
Just let me fly
(Let me fly)
Let me fly
No, please don’t cry
I see the wicked ways up in your eyes
Don’t lie
Just let me fly
Let me fly
Too many times we both cried
Remember back then you were shy
Used to be in love
Now I've seen enough
Don't think you know better
Think you got me?
You ain't got shit
Play with my heart and
The money I spent
You were mine
You were mine
So please don't
Please don't cry
So, please don’t cry
I don’t think I can take that shit tonight, tonight
Oh, please don’t lie
I see the wicked ways up in your eyes, your eyes
Just let me fly
(Let me fly)
Let me fly

Just let me fly
(Let me fly)
Let me fly
No, please don’t cry
I see the wicked ways up in your eyes
Don’t lie
Just let me fly
