Everything here is here for today and gone by tomorrow
What them niggas gone do, when they coming for you 
Strict business here, keep it tween me and you
Proving to myself ain't left much to prove 
Dumb niggas watching ain't even got a clue
They just worry bout the things you ain't do 

Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
I just keep holding on, even times when I know it's gone
Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe

First of all, I'm first of all 
You do a couple things, and you think I'm reimbursing y'all 
When I was down, were you first to call
You don't wanna go there cause you know I'll bring the worst in y'all 
You criticize, can't be criticized, everyday I find myself getting rid of guys
I can tell when I'm finding out little lies, Time kills and you love killing time
Heard it through grapevine, what a wonderful time to reminisce 
A wonderful time that you would miss, putting all the pieces back together
But they say don't break it if it's already fixed, only time will tell
Lie to yourself you'll lie to anybody else
You feel a kinda way cause I feel a kinda way 
Two can play that game and you know I'm down to play

Everything here is here for today and gone by tomorrow
What them niggas gone do, when they coming for you 
Strict business here, keep it tween me and you
Proving to myself ain't left much to prove 
Dumb niggas watching ain't even got a clue
They just worry bout the things you ain't do 

Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
I just keep holding on, times when I know it's gone
Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
You been doing the same 

Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
I just keep holding on, times when I know it's gone
Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
You been doing the same

I just can't trust anyone, tell me when the henny come
I didnt see you pour it up, why it take so long 
I'm not just anyone
I can't do anything I don't know
I know you know that shit, everybody here noticing
Talk different when the hoes are in, and when they leave, you will leave that pose you in 

Knowing that I could've had you is better than having you
With that attitude, I can have anything I won't
Imma f*ck her good when she tell me that I won't 
Can't make love cause she fall in love
Wanna be friends but she calling me up
Ain't tryna play her like I'm some kinda player
You did it for revenge so you know what it was, talk to you later unh

Everything here is here for today and gone by tomorrow
What them niggas gone do, when they coming for you 
Strict business here, keep it tween me and you
Proving to myself ain't left much to prove 
Dumb niggas watching ain't even got a clue
They just worry bout the things you ain't do 

Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
I just keep holding on, times when I know it's gone
Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
You been doing the same 

Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
I just keep holding on, times when I know it's gone
Sometimes I make believe, the things that I may believe
You been doing the same

I'm outta line for this, I got some time for this
You already know what time it is
Been stomped to the dirt, pushed away and hurt
I forgot where the timing went

Cold world when they say they got confidence, in my confidence, turns out to be compliments
They will always be positive, and if I quit they will all turn opposite 

F*ck inside the same bed as your nigga do, pray to God that's the reason I won't get with you
Imagine what would happen if i ever did live with you
Hope he forget a Rolex in the living room, chill

Forreal, I keep spilling this tea, funny how the tea didn't spill on me
Can't have you niggas bullshit build on me
Keep it real low key, if you real, show me, yo

Paraplegic, I ain't running from my demons while I'm looking for Jesus 
Everybody does a favor and want someone to see it  
Tell you be a better person but they don't wanna be it 

Telling you secrets and they can't keep a secret 
Everyday I give my all, you can take or leave it
Either here or you not, ain't nothing between it
Tell you do what you dreaming but they never believe it 

Everything here is here for today and gone by tomorrow
What them niggas gone do, when they coming for you 
Strict business here, keep it tween me and you
Proving to myself ain't left much to prove 
Dumb niggas watching ain't even got a clue
They just worry bout the things you ain't do
