[Chorus: Inayah]

I knew he wasn't the one, but it was the history

That kept me from running, I know

We be so caught up and comfortable that

(Ayy, Heavy turn the beat up, though)

We forget to be who we were before then

Man, it's funny how love works

Especially when you thought that love would work

You know somebody's gonna get hurt

(MK, get that shit up, then)

And you just pray that it ain't you first

[Verse 1: Lakeyah]

Look

I said I always find out, and I'm never surprised

Look at the bitches you be gassin', I was never yo' type

I could, hurt you bad, and I could show you how it feel, nigga

I can really go and put this pussy on a real nigga

I wanna thank you for revealing your colors

Now I can take my time to heal, and I can finally recover

Change myself, all for the sake of this relationship

You envious and insecure, you deserve a basic bitch

History ain't shit when the love ain't in it

That's the reason why I'm always screaming, "Fuck these niggas"

Man, you the reason, if I leave, I won't trust these niggas

Honestly speaking, all honesty, I'm done with these niggas

Ain't gotta tell 'em what you did, gon' and talk yo' shit

Nigga, I'm good regardless, with or without that dick

I gave too much, I overplayed my part too fast

Regardless of my qualities, none of this love shit last

And that's on God

[Chorus: Inayah]

I knew he wasn't the one, but it was the history

That kept me from running, I know

We be so caught up and comfortable that

We forget to be who we were before then

Man, it's funny how love works

Especially when you thought that love would work

You know somebody's gonna get hurt

And you just pray that it ain't you first

[Verse 2: Lakeyah]

Ayy

They say this love shit dangerous, somebody get hurt

Instead of being broken-hearted, I should've fucked off first

But I'm solid as a bitch, so I'ma do you one worse

Like fuck a love song, 'cause I'ma put my heart in this verse

I'm a hundred times better than them bitches that you entertain

Good pussy and my head on straight, I deserve a wedding ring

I can't take you back, 'cause this shit won't never be the same

Spoiled you with loyalty, you never bought me shit but pain

Wondering why it's fuck you? I got a hundred reasons

For example, you said you loved me, and you didn't mean it

But I can only blame myself, I was naive believin'

That a nigga could ever change after I caught him cheatin'

I put you on to all that new, I showed you shit you never seen

I gave you everything you wanted, gave you everything you need

I thought I created somethin' bitches couldn't come between

You gon' meet a hundred scrubs before you meet another me

And that's on God

[Chorus: Inayah]

I knew he wasn't the one, but it was the history

That kept me from running, I know

We be so caught up and comfortable that

We forget to be who we were before then

Man, it's funny how love works

Especially when you thought that love would work

You know somebody's gonna get hurt

And you just pray that it ain't you—
