Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna pop You another perk
I swear to god that shit won't work
That pain won't go away you can not put it in the dirt
Your mind is clouded you can't see
That pain is not your destiny
Hurt people hurt people you've been hurting me
But i just can't find myself to leave
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you gone be the death of me
I ain't sleep in weeks
Your love made me blind
So i can't see
My niggas tell me rap about parties something lit
But i ain't in no party mood
Your love got me feeling like shit
I've been posted like poster
Waiting for you to do what you suppose to
But you love them drugs more me
I called ya bluff this ain't poker
You asked me if i could weather the storm
I can try but i ain't Al Roker
Your love used to make me so warm
But them drugs make your heart colder
I'm toxic and you toxic
We such a bad combination
She said even if we don't last
Enjoy the ride is all I'm saying
God please help me let her go
I say on my knees while I'm praying
Cuz i ain't gone watch you die slow
It kills me to say i ain't staying
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you gone be the death of me death of me death of me death of me death of Me
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you gone be the death of me

Our relationship is a destructive combination
She said even if we don't last
She said that even if we don't stay together
Enjoy the ride is all I'm saying
We should try to make the most of the time we have together
God please help me let her go
I am asking for divine intervention to help me move on
I say on my knees while I'm praying
I am praying with a humble and sincere heart
Cuz i ain't gone watch you die slow
I cannot bear to watch you slowly destroy yourself
It kills me to say i ain't staying
It pains me to admit that I cannot stay in this relationship
My love for you gone be the death of me
My love for you may lead to my ultimate downfall
