Said he tried to phone me, but I never have time
He said that I never listen, but I don't even try
I got a new place in Cali, but I'm gone every night
So I fill it with strangers so they keep on the lights
She said she told you she knows me, but the face isn't right
She asked if I recognized her and I told her I might

See, everywhere I go
I got a million different people tryna kick it
But I'm still alone in my mind, yeah

I know you're dying to meet me
But I can just tell you this
Baby, as soon as you meet me
You'll wish that you never did (You'll wish that you never did)

Unh, look
I'm a real rare individual
I'm in the physical and the metaphysical
I know you need your alone time, that's critical
But I need some of your time, is that hypocritical?
Damn, you know I relate to you more than fam
So I won't sit around and let you sink in quicksand
Look, I know you got million dollar plans
And you tryna build a brand, live a life in high demand
Swerving big b's, your bag got little G's
Gucci down to the socks like Biggie and Little Ceas'
Let's hit the Maldives and hide behind palm trees
Little red wine, weed, and a calm breeze
'Cause, baby, you been living life inside a bubble
When the last time you had somebody hug you?
Hold up, when the last time you had somebody love you?
Hold up, when the last time you love someone who love you?

You know that everywhere I go
I got a million different people tryna kick it
But I'm still alone in my mind

I know you're dying to meet me
But I can just tell you this
Baby, as soon as you meet me
You'll wish that you never did (You'll wish that you never did)

Stay up ina me all night ana rock
You know seh mi have di wickedest tock
Yuh all ways tell me seh mi full ah attitude
An yuh nuh like mi friend cah she rude
Still I, pu-pull up in the Benz wid tha all gold ting
Window down cah you haffi see me with ma king
What ya' sipping, boy I'm dipping, now ya' tripping of a fling
I be clipping off ya wings, tadah

See, everywhere I go
I got a million different people tryna hit it
But I'm still alone in my mind

I know you're dying to meet me
But I can just tell you this
Baby, as soon as you meet me
You'll wish that you never did
(You'll wish that you never did)
Yeah, yeah

(I know you wanna, I, I know you wanna)
You'll wish that you never did, oh (I, I know you wanna slip under my armor)
(I know you wanna, I, I know you wanna)
You'll wish that you never did
