Issues
Perri Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You might think I′m selfish I can't help it
You know all the drama I don dealt with
And... that amount of stress can break the core
You say all the pretty girls are insecure
And you know I got.issues
That why I take my time with you
No, you worry about my health
Ask if I need help
When I′m dealing with my health
I do better by myself
Now you gettin defensive
Talkin all of that bull-ish
I ain't trying to go through this
You know I can get stupid
I don't really know if we gon make it
Better stop actin crazy
Cuz you know I got ...Issues
Sometimes you forget all the things that we been through
I′m just trying to chill why you trying to push the issue
Know we got... Yeah, you know we got...
Know we got... ISSUES
Sometimes you forget all the things that we been through
I′m just trying to chill why you trying to push the issue
You know we got... Yeah, you know we got... Ummmm
It's like when I talk... you don′t listen
Tell you the problem... you can't fix it
Why do you act like... you don′t get it
I'm not wit it at all
Cuz how many times, how many games you done played
You outta line you better stay in your lane
Watch yo tone when you all in my face
Disrespecting my space, you get put in your place
Now you gettin defensive
Talkin all of that bull-ish
I ain′t trying to go through this
You know I can get stupid
I don't really know if we gon make it
Better stop actin crazy
Cuz you know I got... Issues
Sometimes you forget all the things that we been through
I'm just trying to chill why you trying to push the issue
Know we got... Yeah, you know we got...
Know we got... Issues
Sometimes you forget all the things that we been through
I′m just trying to chill why you trying to push the issue




Know we got... Yeah, you know we got... Ummmm
