Jiah
He saying I'm fucked up
I might be
Okay
One thing about me I cannot beg no one to stay
So, I need some alone time
So I can meditate

When I get to cloud nine, I'll be there to stay
Why you can't ever be the one to ask me about my day
It's a lot on my mind, I just need you to listen you ain't even got to say nun
Can't even give a reason that you here to stay
Every-time you need sumn I don't hesitate
You get whatever you need, baby I got it
You know you can do as you please, cause I took off like a rocket
Brand new baguettes in the face
Foreign's ready to race
Everything fell into place
Woah, woah, woah, woah
I can't get distracted
For this music I think I'm an addict
They tried to subtract me
Clearly wasn't thinking rational
Depression's a battle
Won't let myself stay too sad for long
No, no
Now I gotta ball on em'
All the niggas that said I wasn't on nun
If one day it's all gone you know who everything gon fall on
I keep my head strong, if you don't know trust you dead wrong
Before I write a wrong, I'll just put it in a song
And if it ain't for me, then I gotta let it go
But that was my shorty, I'm pouring my heart in all these flows
They don't realize that this shit really within me
I got real eyes, I see love don't see no envy
But what's the rush girl you only 20
Tryna stack the Louie duffle 100, 50's like
New coupe, no roof
You lose, boohoo
You gon' fuck around and miss your blessing
When it's all said and done you'll learn the lesson though
Too bad, we're good
I left like I said I would
He saying I'm fucked up
I might be
Okay
One thing about me I cannot beg no one to stay
So, I need some alone time
So I can meditate
And when I get to cloud nine, I'll be there to stay
Why you can't ever be the one to ask me about my day
It's a lot on my mind, I just need you to listen you ain't even got to say nun
Can't even give a reason that you here to stay
Every-time you need sumn I don't hesitate
Baby I got it

You get whatever you need
Thats just me, that's just who I am
