Ion do hoes thats the old me
When i shot my shot i felt like kobe
When i met u it felt like u know me
I be wantin for somebody to hold me
Never know ima make it at night
Some niggas wanna kill me slowly
Buh fuckit i move by my doley
Now i wanna buss down rollie
If u my brother you will never owe me
This what i think when im by my doley
Ill never play wit ya heart you not sony
I stay wit montanas like tony
If u rlly love me come and show me
If you love me you gotta show me
Ion do hoes thats the old me
When i shot my shot i felt like kobe
When i met u it felt like u know me
I be wantin for somebody to hold me
Never know ima make it at night
Some niggas wanna kill me slowly
Buh fuckit i move by my doley
Tbh you my first time fallin in love
I dont show emotion ima thug
But u it was a different typa trust
Sometimes i be needin a hug
Told u everything even if i thought it was dumb
Told my brothers bout u
Bro said you was the one
For you i would give it all up
When i say i love you ye i mean it
But i love you for so many reasons
I swear that ya vibe different and ya mind different
And thats only two of my reasons
For the rest u gon have two see em
And im sorry for the way i was treatin
But your love is like something im feinin
If you love me you gotta show me
Ion do hoes thats the old me
When i shot my shot i felt like kobe
When i met u it felt like u know me
I be wantin for somebody to hold me
Never know ima make it at night
Some niggas wanna kill me slowly
Buh fukkit i move by my doley
