Go figure
You were the trigger
You brought me to an obstructed view
When you knew the picture was bigger
Who am I kiddin'?
Knew from the beginning
You'd ruin everything, you do it every time
You are my enemy, you are no friend of mind, muhfucker

You muhfuckin' right
You muhfuckin' right, I'm bitter
You muhfuckin' right, I'm triggered
You muhfuckin' right, I

Wanna f*ck you right now
I just turned the lights out now
And you know when the sun go down
That's when it would all go down
Been a minute, been a while
Ain't let nobody hit it since you hit it
You know you always know what to do wit' it
But ain't no me and you without you in it
Damn, I'm 'bout to burn this bitch down
I think I need to lie down
'Cause I'm not tryna wild out now
But right now
Don't know what I'm capable of

Might f*ck around and go crazy on cuz
Might f*ck around, have to pay me in blood
This ain't the way that you want it
Might catch a case in this bitch
Don't let me catch you face-to-face in this bitch
Tryin' my hardest not to disrespect you
After what you did, man, what you expected?
You motherfucker

I was triggered when I seen you with that scrub (on God)
He can't handle you, you know you need a thug (straight up)
They said never wife a woman that you meet inside a club
But I slept with half the club, baby, who am I to judge?
I went against the world when they shamed you (21)
I was ready to go to war when it pertain to you (on God)
How you leave a real nigga for a lame dude? (straight up)
I did things with that pussy that he can't do (on God)
The way I lick it, the way I used to hit it
Sucking on that clit so long I left a hickey
Made her cut a hole in her Vickies for the quickies
Then she hit the pawn shop and bought me all the blickies
Thinking 'bout the faces that you made when I would hit it
That you prolly making with another nigga, got me trippin' (21)
Man, you got me triggered, got me in my feelings
If I see him now, up this bitch and get to clickin' (21)

First thing that I gotta do, I gotta go remove my tattoos
I gotta get up out of this place
I, I could sit and look at your face
I know that I always get big mad
I cannot believe I did that
Nobody gets me so fired up
Nobody gets me so fired up
I tried little 'till I thought I died inside
I, I want you take it easy on me, 'cause it takes
'Cause when I get mad I get big mad
Shoulda never did that, get back
'Bout to feel the wrath of a menace
In my bag, in my feelings
I'm a bad little bitch, you know

I'm triggered, when I see your face (oh)
Triggered, when I hear your name (oh)
Triggered, I am not okay (oh)
You need to stay out my way
I'm triggered, when I see your face
Triggered (oh), when I hear your name (oh, oh)
Triggered, I am not okay (yeah)
You need to stay out of my way (mm)
You need to stay out of my way (yeah)
You need to stay out of my way, yeah
Oh, I, yeah
