Love is what you make it
I'll give you my heart if you promise that you won't break it
I'mma keep it real with everyone, it ain't no fakin'
I was trying to give it to you, you was trying to take it
And you cannot run from reality, gotta face it
I been trying to do everything for you to just make it
Don't care what people say, especially when they talk crazy
Don't play with me, I'm baby

I'm watching in plain view, you caught up entangled
In a web of the world, I wish I could save you
Deep down you're an angel, but street life, it trained you
Now listen to your girl
Don't let the game keep playin' you

Take a breather nice and slow
I know it feel like they got they eyes on the skull
Why you balanced on a tightrope?
Tryna get the crib, you and I can go to
Come and smell the roses (roses)
You can have it all if you focus
House, feelings flowing lovely 
But first thing you gotta trust me (yeah)

Baby, when the hype get cold
Superficial people in your life get ghost
Same ones say "I hit you right back bro"
Told you there wasn't on the right tracks, so
But I kinda like that though
Ain't no distraction, get your sight back yo
I think you wanna fight back so
Let me shut up, I'm talking in circles

I'm watching in plain view, you caught up entangled
In a web of the world, I wish I could save you
Deep down you're an angel, but street life, it trained you
Now listen to your girl
Don't let the game keep playin' you

(Gang gang gang) oh oh oh
(Gang gang gang) oh oh oh
(Gang gang gang)

Something I adopted
If they won't buss an eighth, then they flip like an omelet (flip)
Environment toxic
I can't breathe, haters make me nauseous, ew
Get that Gucci office
Get a couple outfits, bags, and the boxes (yuh)
Find him in the commons, while we shine like diamonds, yeah

Baby, when the hype get cold
Superficial people in your life get ghost
Same one say "I hit you right back bro"
Told you they wasn't on the right tracks, so
But I kinda like that though
Ain't no distractions, get your sight back yo
I think you wanna fight back so
Let me shut up I'm talking in circles

I'm watching in plain view, you caught up entangled
In a web of the world, I wish I could save you
Deep down you're an angel, but street life, it trained you
Now listen to your girl
Don't let the game keep playin' you

(Gang gang gang) oh oh oh
(Gang gang gang) oh oh oh

Mama told you not to go down that road
Brother told me not to tell on your bros
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Sister told me never these hoes
And these niggas just as bad, I'll never trust a soul
I heard you been playin' with your nose
You know that type of shit against the code
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know you was supposed to be strong
You know glitter ain't gold, what the f*ck is going on?
Lil D' and 'em tryna get back they life, they coming home
The lawyer gotta keep it above, and still be wrong
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
They came and got you fired from the pent from off his phone
And it's crazy 'cause this time he ain't even do nothin' wrong
Talking chills
Ever since he answered the appeal, f*ck a deal
I go down in history being real
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Never squeal, never played the victim and I probably never will
I just wish that you was here (yeah)
