[Chorus: Jack Doyo]

Never really know how much

That you had meant to me

I made sacrifices for a life

That you won't even see

Been a long time coming

Think it's time to get away from me

Been a long while since I heard from you

I heard you in the streets

Thought I told you 'bout involving yourself in people's beef

Thought I told you be yourself and let these people be


[Post-Chorus: Jack Doyo]

Plus, everything I hear alleged

'Til I see that shit for me

Plus, everything I have a blessing

It just took a while to see


[Verse 1: Jack Doyo]

Think you want my spot, but you don't wanna be mе

Ducking insecurity, it's all so to speak

Think about my life, it should feel good to bе me

I can't put my faith in everything, you say to me

You got high standards

But yet you wanna be with me

You throwing underhanded

Why not throw it straight forward with me?

You always lie to me

Why can't you be straight forward with me?

No, you ain't right for me

But I love everything you do to me

You can throw a life jacket

'Cause I'm drowning in the sea

And all you niggas light weight

You ain't sipping shit like me

You can roll another spliff bae

If you wanna smoke with me

And we can get lit, babe

If you wanna roll with me


[Chorus: Jack Doyo]

I made sacrifices for a life

That you won't even see

Been a long time coming

Think it's time to get away from me

Been a long while since I heard from you

I heard you in the streets

Thought I told you 'bout involving yourself in people's beef

Thought I told you be yourself and let these people be


[Post-Chorus: Jack Doyo]

Plus, everything I hear alleged

'Til I see that shit for me

Plus, everything I have a blessing

It just took a while to see


[Verse 2: Joe Trufant]

Why you even tripping I thought you're not needing me?

Yeah, my baby Kenyan, yeah, we're speaking Swahili

Yeah, I did it all in a house on the East

That's why I can deal with all this

I got a little money and I spent it on the gang, babe

'Cause I know they'd do the same thing

You're not in my life you're in the streets

You know how it goes with me

That's why I stay sliding

Every time you see me, I'm on islands

While you're on I-10, I dive in

You're not thriving, stop lying, hey

But you got that little bag, so you're good (Ain't you?)

You heard me, but you never understood

Yeah, I wish you would (Oh, oh, oh)


[Verse 2: Joe Trufant]


[Chorus: Jack Doyo]

Never really know how much

That you had meant to me

I made sacrifices for a life

That you won't even see

Been a long time coming

Think it's time to get away from me

Been a long while since I heard from you

I heard you in the streets

Thought I told you 'bout involving yourself in people's beef

Thought I told you be yourself and let these people be


[Post-Chorus: Jack Doyo]

Plus, everything I hear alleged

'Til I see that shit for me

Plus, everything I have a blessing

It just took a while to see
