[Intro]

Nina Simone

[Hook: Apollo Lofton]

Look, there’s validation in my words, will I get what I deserve?

I observe who’s really down for me

In this life you gotta learn, even when you’re getting burned

This is earned, you don’t have to lie to me

[Verse 1: Apollo Lofton]

You don’t get it, the type of pain that I been through will change you

Reinvented, I’m not the same when I’m sentimental

Had to get it, my back to the wall, ashy knuckles

Look at Hov like a God on these instrumentals

Now I got it, understanding of pockets

Understanding of promo and how to do it for Lofton

And how to pitch you my talent, at events that you planning

But honestly f*ck your party, I rather be locked in

My biggest problem is I’m introverted

I got no balance when I’m really hurting

I’m well deserving of the crown, and everything that’s meant for me

I been through life long enough, you can’t get close to me

I keep space, having a hard time trying to figure it out

Right time to bring you around my place cause I

Don’t trust you, and I won’t hug you, and I

Will dub you, get the f*ck up out my face

[Hook: Apollo Lofton]

There’s validation in my words, will I get what I deserve?

I observe who’s really down for me

In this life you gotta learn, even when you’re getting burned

This is earned, you don’t have to lie to me

Got some problems with my trust, not your ordinary love

This is lust baby, you won’t die for me

I’m introverted til’ the day that I’m gone

Nobody got me so I got my own, who gon ride for me?

[Verse 2: Apollo Lofton]

Huh, and you know the truth

I’m terrified of getting closure so I rather move, hold up

Look, and I’m not amused

If we talking bout loyalty, I know a few

But I rather keep it to myself, nobody know me like me

Type of pain I carry round, it’s a burden for me

Nobody searching for me, low key murdering me

Until I cut the game up, you see the surgeon in me, Lofton

It was never pressure

It was always business first, it was never pleasure

I know the ropes cause I had to wrestle

Used to be at every function now I’m knowing better

I’m never out now, I’m barely friendly at all

F*ck your small talk, show me who you really are, right?

I’m introverted til’ the day that I’m gone

You either love me or you leave me alone

Who gon ride for me?
