Face to Face
Prod. Dior Lyrics

I ain't being nice no more
I have decided to no longer be kind or considerate

Try to be nice, you did me dirty
Despite my efforts to be kind, you betrayed me

Too old for that shit, baby, just turned 30
I have reached a point in my life where I no longer tolerate such behavior, even though I am still relatively young

Time to set boundaries, use the sermon
It is necessary for me to establish limitations and make use of the teachings

Preaching, hear the sermon
Spreading the word, listen to the message

God, I gotta hear a new word
I am seeking fresh guidance or inspiration

I'm tired of trying
I am exhausted from constantly making an effort

I'm tired of fighting
I am weary of engaging in battles or conflicts

I'm tired of asking why
I am fatigued from questioning the reasons

My life is this way
This is the current state of my existence

I pray I can't stay
I hope not to remain in this situation

At the same spot, I pray
In the same predicament, I beseech

I get what I can't get
I acquire what seems unattainable

Can't get from this place
Unable to obtain within this particular context

I gotta change my face
I need to alter my demeanor or appearance

I gotta change my ways
I must modify my behavior or habits

Cause I, I, I keep attracting the same
Because I consistently attract similar individuals or circumstances

I keep attracting these lames
I repeatedly draw in uninspiring or unimpressive people

And God, they know my name
And surely, they are aware who I am

But how can I forget that
Yet, how can I overlook the fact

How far I came on this journey
The progress I have made thus far on this path

They wanna turn me around
They desire to divert me from my course

And reduce all the progress
And diminish all the advancements

And I made in my sound
And in my musical style or expression

And I done came so hard
And I have worked extremely diligently

I done worked so hard
I have exerted immense effort

And I'm tired of feeling used
And I am weary of being taken advantage of

And I'm tired of feeling wasted
And I am fatigued from feeling useless or unfulfilled

And I'm tired of people pleasing
And I am exhausted from constantly trying to please others

And I'm just tired of them hating
And I am simply weary of their animosity

On me and my success
Targeting both me and my achievements

And I tried my best and I tried to put you on
I made every effort and attempted to support or elevate you

Tried to rep for the home team, West Africa
Endeavored to represent my homeland, West Africa

But, bro, I just gotta laugh at ya
However, my friend, I can only find amusement in you

Cause you did me wrong, you stole my gun
Because you treated me unfairly, you took away my power or advantage

You put them lies up under your tongue like a razor
You concealed deceitful words within you, ready to harm like a sharp blade

Had to forgive ya, I could never hate ya
I had to grant you forgiveness, for I am incapable of hating you
