[Intro]

Ayo, shoutout to the homie, big O, big S, listen I gotchu dawg, okay

And now we hit ‘em with that (ayo, c’mon)

Cause it’s Jaquel, nigga; it’s Jaquel, nigga (I mean, let’s go)

(Aye, aye) And we gon hit you with that --

(Aye, aye) And we gon hit you with that --

(Aye, uhuh), Cause we gon hit with you that, hit you with that, hit you with that --


[Verse 1]

Lesson one, we were hoping for the best

But all my optimism, should’ve laid that shit to rest

Couldn’t tell me what was left, shit you put me through the test

Not only did you lie through your teeth, but with your chest

And I took it in jest, but I, I knew better

Cause niggas like you, you, you’rе real clever

In thе coup, sky blue, kapoof, yeah it’s severed

Still behoove you to move up out all my endeavors

That’s now or ever, because you know that


[Chorus]

And you're so, and I know, where you go, oh

Cause you’re so, and I know, what you do, ooh

What’s inside your heart, it wasn’t what I thought

I guess it wasn’t smart, I thought you’d play the part


[Verse 2]

Now ready for lesson two; wish niggas that we knew would tell me don’t mess with you

Fuck was there to dispute, still begging to restitute

Still begging to rescue you, but look at who’s next to you

I guess you got the best of you, so it seems

Nigga, hop in the Hearst, fucking dead to me

Send no texts, cause you’re on fucking read to me

I’m taking in like all these fucking bless-in-ing’s

Apocalypse, if this is my reckoning, I tell ‘em (ugh)


[Chorus]

And you're so, and I know, where you go, oh

Cause you’re so, and I know, what you do, ooh

What’s inside your heart, it wasn’t what I thought

I guess it wasn’t smart, I thought you’d play the part


[Bridge]

Cause you’re so, and I know, what you do, ooh

Look, hit ‘em with that, hit ‘em with that, hit ‘em with that

What’s inside your heart, what’s inside your heart

It wasn’t what I thought, it wasn’t what I thought

I know it was, know it was, know it wasn’t smart

I thought you’d play, I thought you’d play, I thought you’d play the part

I thought you’d play the part


[Chorus]

And you're so, and I know, where you go, oh

Cause you’re so, and I know, what you do, ooh

What’s inside your heart, it wasn’t what I thought

I guess it wasn’t smart, I thought you’d play the part (thought you’d play)


[Outro]

What we do? Yeah, hit ‘em with that, hit ‘em with that, now we hit ‘em with that (I know)

It’s Jaquel nigga, yeah it’s Jaquel nigga (I mean, let’s go)

Yeah I’m with my, and we; everywhere I go, they be

Yeah I’m with my, yeah I’m with my, yeah I’m with my, yeah I’m with my
