[Verse 1:]

I don't know how to put it into words in this world

I don't know how to make it better when it just gets worse

And I’m not talking bout the same things with them lines

They don’t intertwine

My thoughts pour out every single time that I write

But hold up I believe there is a lot that I need to be addressing

Cause a lot has changed since I came at you with the lyrics

See I have no idea where my head is at

I need to get out of here asap, asap

Why? Cause they all turned against me

All your enemies once were all so friendly

Watch em turn their back and try take your energy

Never trust a motherfucker that takes advantage

Painting and shit no more room on the canvas

A lot of people are physically and mentally damaged

I don’t know what they want from me

Some free time from me, don’t you lie to me

At the end of this we ain’t homies no more


[Chorus:]

You know me better than I know myself

But that’s not the point, that’s not the point

You know me better than I know myself

So just get to the point, get to the point

You know me better than I know myself

But that’s not the point, that’s not the point

You know me better than I know myself

So just get to the point, get to the point


[Verse 2:]

All the time til the end of time

Imma build a fucking enterprise

Til the end of time

Tell everyone it is what they thought

And tell the haters I’m everything they not

She wrote me a letter cause this shit forever

And I’m waiting for November just for it to get better

I will never just let up, when it comes to my temper

I will never let you go, I will never let you free

I will only let you know, that you here with me

Til the very very end

Imma, imma be right here

Never going nowhere, I ain’t talk to no one

Cause they talk to me, oh shit

But like nothing getting in the way of this

No one getting in the way of that

I’m not obligated to articulate

Or express the stress weighing on my head

Thinking back to the thoughts where you never left


[Chorus:]

You know me better than I know myself

But that’s not the point, that’s not the point

You know me better than I know myself

So just get to the point, get to the point

You know me better than I know myself

But that’s not the point, that’s not the point

You know me better than I know myself

So just get to the point, get to the point


[Verse 3:]

Just get to the point and don’t waste a second

If you listen to their words you can hear their intention

Don’t get in a situation just to cause minimal damage

I don’t get why people waste precious minutes

On something that they knows gonna be ending

But I get the point of living and loving

You end up trusting someone

When you quote on quote "fall in love" with em

But what if it’s false, what if it’s fake?

What if your world crumbles because of what other people say?

Nah, nah, nah

Like do what makes you happy

And if that means losing friends

You gotta do it badly

So stick with it and stuck with it

And trust me they don’t gotta fuck with it

And fuck with em

I don’t fuck with em no more

Never did, never will
