Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I ain't never had it for you
(Cat this go crazy)
Had it for you, had it for you
I remember times that I was broke, I never had it for you
Down on my a**, I got the bag, I turned a savage for you
Cut off my hoes, all this for you, got rid the baggage for you
I took the fall, I did the dirt, I took the damage for you
You know I did this for us (And I)
Did this for trust (And I)
Did it for love (And I)
(Don't want no lovin' now)
I had you feel some typa way, when we be f****** uh
You know without me you ain't s***, girl you ain't nothin' uh
No you ain't s*** without me
Can't have no b**** around me
You know, all the s*** we did can't do that s*** without me
I use to pick you up late night, girl, and I would f*** you good
You said you cuttin' off yo man's, I always thought you would
But I never thought you could
He never do no good
You never wanted me, you say I'm Hollywood
You think I'm only tryna f***, girl I'm misunderstood
I opened up my heart for you, I thought you understood
But you'n never get it
I had my heart broke before i don't even sweat it
And all that shit I did for you I don't even regret it
And you know all the s*** I said to you I meant it
I don't regret it (Yea, Go)
I remember times that I was broke, I never had it for you
Down on my a**, I got the bag, I turned a savage for you
Cut off my hoes, all this for you, got rid the baggage for you
I took the fall, I did the dirt, I took the damage for you
You know I did this for us (And I)
Did this for trust (And I)
Did it for love (And I)
(Don't want no lovin' now)
I had you feel some typa way, when we be f****** uh
You know without me you ain't s***, girl you ain't nothin' uh
I risked it all this s*** for us
I was hoping for ya trust
I know it's, hard to see the good I wrote this song for you in blood
I know I, left without a word I took my heart and had to run
But in the end and after all just know I did this s*** for love
You got me wishing on a star, and now my roof is full of stars
Was kinda hoping you'd be happy just to, see me moving on
I let so many do me wrong and take advantage of my heart
I'm tryna show you all along that right here's where yo a** belong
And just to show you that I care, I woulda
Went half on a baby wit you
Say you drink to hide the pain
Well f*** it I'll get faded wit you
You think that my songs are meant to
Hurt you I could never diss you
Never felt this type of way but, girl I feel I made it wit you
I remember times that I was broke, I never had it for you
Down on my a**, I got the bag, I turned a savage for you
Cut off my hoes, all this for you, got rid the baggage for you
I took the fall, I did the dirt, I took the damage for you
You know I did this for us (And I)
Did this for trust (And I)
Did it for love (And I)
(Don't want no lovin' now)




I had you feel some typa way, when we be f****** uh
You know without me you ain't s***, girl you ain't nothin' uh
