[Verse 1]

I got your message and I hope u know I hate u too

I only hate u cuz if I Loved u I’d hate me too

It’s clear as day that you’d care less if I had died tonight

And if I’m wrong I’d never know if I would die tonight

I live a life of fake friends and real enemies

I smile knowing they won’t rest till they get rid of me

We’ll make up bed cuz one day yea u gone sleep in it

And if that day should be today, we see who really mean it


[Bridge]

I’ve never wished death on anyone else

But I’m not sure if I mean it

So I just keep it to myself cuz if I say it I’ll needa

Be put on suicidal watch because my tongue holds the pen

That writes the scripts to all my movies from beginning to end


[Hook]

Say when my curtains done closed don’t u try to hit my phone

Say u ain’t love me while I’m here then don’t love me when I’m gone

Say when my curtains done closed don’t u try to hit my phone

Say u ain’t love me while I’m here then don’t love me when I’m gone


[Verse 2]

Niggas see me and wanna kill me for shit I can’t control

I love em but still got a family waitin on me to make it home

My momma said the day I die is the day she lose her faith in God

Cuz if he is the holy one why the fuck he let my baby die

No pastor’s words can ease my mind

Momma listen to me I’m not hurting no more

And no there’s not a golden gate but my soul is golden for sure

And I watch over u, I see Ajah she taller than you

And I know u hear me saying “don’t put all that salt in yo food”

I know that u hear me, just listen Ma I know u can hear me, I never talked about my feelings but in this music u hear me

And it’s alright that all my life that I’ve been misunderstood

They never seen me as I am but I knew this day they would


[Hook]

But when my curtains done closed don’t u try to hit my phone

Say u ain’t love me while I’m here then don’t love me when I’m gone

Say when my curtains done closed don’t u try to hit my phone

Say u ain’t love me while I’m here then don’t love me when I’m gone


[Bridge]

I’ve never wished death on anyone else

But I’m not sure if I mean it so I just keep it to myself cuz I say it I’ll needa, be put on suicidal watch because my tongue holds the pen

That writes the scripts to all my movies from beginning to end


[Instrumental Break]


[Hook]

Say when my curtains done closed don’t u try to hit my phone

Say u ain’t love me while I’m here then don’t love me when I’m gone

Say when my curtains done closed don’t u try to hit my phone

Say u ain’t love me while I’m here then don’t love me when I’m gone

*baby crying*


[Outro]

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t let them see your pain

Don’t let them see u fall

Don’t cry

Don’t cry

Don’t let them see your hand

Don’t let them see your cards

Poker face you’ll find away to maintain it darling no don’t cry

Cuz they can smell the fear, they can sense it all

Poker face you’ll find a way, find a way, find a way, don’t cry

These are the games we play
