[Intro]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Maybe

Maybe, yeah


[Verse 1]

Maybe I was too tough, treating your ass like tumor

You traded all your humor for jaded and cartoonish

The pressure often too much

Too many eyes are on me

Too many nights of coughing and I'm often sleeping poorly

Yeah, maybe I'm too soft on your ass

I built a wall between us just so I won't stomp on your ass

And what's it to you, but I still am having thoughts about the times of when we sneakin'

Public speaking never too good for you

You actin' like I would for you, could for you

But look what you did to yourself

That couldn't be good for your health

Well look at the records we made

I bet that look good on a shelf

But all of the questions remain

Is there any good in your self?

Or could you help it? Nah


[Bridge]

Couldn't count on you, so I double down on me

Why you go and switch up, yeah

Why you actin' criminal, wanna walk free?

Why you got me mixed up, yeah


[Chorus]

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent

Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent

Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant


[Verse 2]

I don't feel the need to talk about it

I just keep it private

I would like to see you go and try

For you it's auto-pilot

Keep it in your climate, I'm not trying to be the one to try you

'Cause you love the conflict, 'cause your soul don't know peace

'Cause your whole life like a small fight just to feel like a piece

Spent too long trying to prove wrong when the world at your feet

Your buzón like it's Tucson 'cause it stay in the heat

But you never defeatd

But you never conceded, yeah


[Verse 3]

I want a part in my play

Two times I've been played, yeah

I want them all out the way

Faux friends and them fakes, yeah

Retreating my circle these days

Keeping it all in appraisal

Stay with the ones that are stable

Never too much at the table

I gave away all my information, took about 1400 of my days

You should pray I get lucky, find missing patience

Fit for the grist you been dishing, I'm wishing you warrant a war-ish behavior

Doubtful on what I'ma say to you

Hours I spent on the gradient

Wishin' you never betrayed me, I'm wishin' I'm gone


[Chorus]

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent (wishin')

Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent

Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent

Used to wanna know me but I guess that shit irrelevant

Used to be my homie, tell me why you act malevolent

Used to be my homie, used to be, yeah


[Bridge]

Couldn't count on you, so I double down on me

Why you go and switch up, yeah

Why you actin' criminal, wanna walk free?

Why you got me mixed up, yeah
