She my number one, I don't need nothing on the side Said that I was done for good and don't want no more lies But my phone be blowing up, temptations on my line I stare at the screen a while before I press decline But she plants a seed and it still lingers in my mind Told myself I'm strong enough to shake it and I'm trying But I'm only human, I know loving you's a crime If I take this cookie now one day I'll do the time Slip me a xanny at once (somebody) I got the earth in a blunt (smoke) I get the skirt when I want (skrrt!) I get the skirt when I want (skrrt!) Due to the money aroma (somebody) My girl she got a diploma (smoke) She got wife written all over She got wife written all over All a nigga know is how to f*ck a good thing up Run from the pain, sip lean, smoke tree up When I'm in your town press pound hit me up When I'm in your town press pound hit me up Only if you down and you slurp good D up If the work good I'll be back for the re-up Hate when I creep and the phone wake me up Fake like I'm sleep knowing damn well I be up Monkey on my back and I walk a hundred miles Guilt make a nigga feel fake when he smile Love get confused in the mind of a child 'Cause love wouldn't lie like I lie and it's wild Wanna have my cake and another cake too Even if the baker don't bake like you Even when the flavor don't taste like you So I'm back mobbing with the late night crew All in your mind with fears that would come true The back of my mind, the back of my mind was you Wishing that I could blind myself from view And only have eyes, and only have eyes for you Slip me a xanny at once (somebody) I got the earth in a blunt (smoke) I get the skirt when I want (skrrt!) I get the skirt when I want (skrrt!) Due to the money aroma (somebody) My girl she got a diploma (smoke) She got wife written all over She got wife written all over I'm a fake nigga and it's never been clearer Can't see myself when I look in the mirror Can't see myself when I look in the mirror Can't see myself when I look in the mirror I'm a fake nigga and it's never been clearer Can't see myself when I look in the mirror Can't see myself when I look in the mirror Can't see myself when I look in the mirror She my number one I don't need nothing on the side Said that I was done for good and don't want no more lies But my phone be blowing up, temptations on my line I stare at the screen a while before I press decline But she plants a seed and it still lingers in my mind Told myself I'm strong enough to shake it and I'm trying But I'm only human, I know loving you's a crime If I take this cookie now one day I'll do the time I love her, I don't want to lose her I'm selfish, I know that I use her My ego get stroked and I bruise her My ego get stroked and I bruise her My actions I know they confusin' At home I look happy as usual On the road I'm a mack, I'm a chooser I'm a addict, I'm maskin' that Kevin's Heart They tell me "What's done in the dark Will find a way to shine" I done did so much that when you see you might go blind What's done in the dark will always find a way to shine I done did so much that when you see you might go blind
