Shame
Kiana Ledé feat. Blackway Lyrics

I always seem to get my way way too late
I tend to achieve what I want, but it's often too late for it to matter.

Say you wanna be a new man with your new lover
You claim to have changed for the better with your new partner.

Just remember who showed you that
Don't forget that I was the one who influenced you to become a better person.

Used to be about yourself, now you're selfless
You used to only care about yourself, but now you prioritize others.

Glad I could do that, but
I'm happy I could help you change, but...

I don't fuck with you like that anymore
I don't have feelings for you like I used to.

But I still think about that time in New Orleans, oh na
Even though I don't have feelings for you, I still reminisce about our time together in New Orleans.

It's kinda messed up she, don't have to see
It's unfair that your new partner doesn't have to witness the mistakes you made when you were with me.

How you messed up when you were with me
You made many mistakes during our relationship that impacted me negatively.

It's a shame she gon' know everything I taught you
Your new partner will benefit from the positive changes I helped you make, which is a shame for me.

It's a shame she gon' get to see all better you
It's unfair that your new partner gets to see the better version of you that I helped create.

It's a shame that I went through all that shit
It's unfortunate that I had to suffer through the negative aspects of our relationship.

It's a shame she don't even see the come up
It's a shame that your new partner doesn't recognize the progress you made as a result of our time together.

Yeah, I gave you time 'cause I was blind and I was patient
I gave you time to change even though I couldn't see the bad things and I was patient with you.

Tried to focus on the good times but the bad out-weighted
Although I tried to overlook the bad parts and focus on the good times, the bad parts were overwhelming.

I'm way too good, baby don't stress
I'm a good person, so don't worry about me, baby.

Had to let you go so you can be a blessing
I had to break up with you so that you could become a blessing to someone else.

Or another girl's lesson
Or be a lesson for another girl to learn from.

Look, you foul but never been cold as this
You're deceitful, but you've never been as heartless as me.

I pull your cards so much, I got an abundance of poker chips
I expose your lies so often that I have a lot of evidence to support my claims.

I can't front, I though about you
I can't lie, I still think about you.

Then I wrote a song about you
In fact, I wrote a song about you.

Two verses, recorded a bridge
I wrote two verses and recorded a bridge for the song.

And then got over it
After writing the song, I was able to get over my feelings for you.

So I ain't tripping, just look how cool my composure is
I'm not bothered by the situation, just look at how calm I am.

Ain't finna text you with all that 'I need some closure' shit
I'm not going to text you with all the closure-seeking behavior.

I can't tell if I'm still salty but don't post a pic with my ex pose
I'm unsure if I'm still upset, but don't post a picture with my ex.

Or I'ma have to expose the bitch, nah
Otherwise, I might have to expose you.

I've been out of it, gotta tear me some vitamins
I've been feeling low lately and need to take some vitamins.

For all that jazz, you be sounding like Mitchell Donovan
You talk too much and sound like Mitchell Donovan (a character from a TV show).

You be talking all kinda shit
You talk a lot of nonsense.

Still can't see that the problem is
You still can't see that you are the problem.

'For I got up inside, girl you didn't know what a condom is
Before we had sex, you didn't even know what a condom was.

If the fire burn out, don't trip, just let it
If the passion fades, don't worry about it, just let it go.

But I live that kinda life to make a bitch regret it
But I live my life in a way that will make you regret your actions.

I ain't gonna complain or vent to sound all sympathetic
I'm not going to whine or vent, trying to get your sympathy.

But whenever you ride his dick, make sure you give me credit
But when you have sex with someone else, remember that I taught you how to be better in bed.
