Lyrics:
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more I'm somebody's reward
Yeah, I gave a good vibes
Oh, you had a good run
I'm far from a regular person
All my cars parked in my garage
I give them six thousand, they have a ball
My wrist freaky like in that waterfall
I'm preaching to you so listen up
Only real ones with me, no mirage
She use her brain like curriculum
Money keep calling, I'm picking up
I'm in Manhattan, going up
I'm 'bout to give her the wicked love
I'm at the top, at the pinnacle
Only you haters get ridiculed
I'm at the gold Fendi shoot
Been 'bout that paper since middle school
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Yeah, I gave off good vibes
Oh, you had a good run

All my cars parked inside my garage
You know I would never leave you guessing
You know I could never have you stressing
You don't even ever have to question
I'm invested so I put my best in, ah
Baby, my love unconditional
It's about more than material
Don't leave me hanging out in the cold
Some things I don't need to know but
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
I deserve more
I'm somebody's reward
Don't leave me in the dark
