Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let you get close to me
What did I do
Was it a mistake
Me wanting you
But still I love you
Fuck yea I do
Can't understand why
You do what you do oh
I put no one above
I just wanted to show you love
And now I'm screaming fuck you
Lucky for you I'm still in love
All you gotta do is
Be real with me
Oh boy yea
Be real with me
It's so easy
Why can't you
Keep up oh boy
Why can't you
Why Why can't you be real
Cause
You was out here creeping on the low
Wifey during the week
On the weekends you was a ho
You was keeping secrets
So secrets I kept fasho
Your friends telling all your business (quick)
Man how you think I know
You want me to keep it real with you
But shit I couldn't even build with you
All this drama when I chill with you
On god you got real issues
But hey karma gonna deal wit you
That's real
I did my dirt
You did your dirt
And if that shit was worth it
Well then tell me what it's worth
You telling lies or the truth
Man I don't know what's worse
Out of sight out of mind
I don't think this gonna work
You don't understand that
No one
Could've fucked it up but you yea
You fucked it up yourself yea
You fucked it up yourself yea
Ooh uhh
I gave you so much time
Let you control my life
Yea
And all you had to do is
All you gotta do is
Be real with me
Oh boy yeah
Be real with me
It's so easy
Why can't you
Keep up oh boy
Why can't you
Why can't you be real




Why Why can't you be real
Why Why can't you be real
