Pre-Chorus

Yo, what's good, it's your boy S-Quire

Leave a message after the tone

(phone beeps)

Verse I

Look, ma, let's get back to basics

Face it, you old school like a pair of Asics

I ain't really wanna

Take it this far, nah

You ain't really wanna

Scratch up my car

So I'm tryna tell you

Where I'm at thus far

All these fist fights

Yelling, you screaming

I had to be hardcore for one reason

Every time I put my guard

Down you were sneaking

So I said okay, I'ma have a good weekend

Chill and drink and

I'm smoking on the loud

I'm on cloud number nine

I was about to about mmmm

Girl number nine

Gettin' wasted, comin' in

Around nine in the a.m

Heart racing, I was just

Those girls, I was just going to get right back

I was gonna put right

Back what we had

And I know it made you

Sad and that's my bad

I was living like a Rockstar, although

You was calling them cop

Cars and leaving me scarred

Although I'm physically harmed

I never meant to play those games

Hold your head, a voice would say

I can't imagine life this way

You need to choose what side you on

Cause this is why I wrote this song

Chorus

(Woman singing)

I'm not asking you to change, change

I gave you everything

You want and need

Sacrifice my life for all

Your dreams, and baby

Baby I don't understand

My heart is in my hand

Just be a better man for us

Verse II

Now times gonna tell

How this thing gonna go

I'm packing my bags

I'm leaving for the show

No one by the front

Door begging me to stay

Empty hearts is what I gave away

Like Jordan I was just a fade away

Christian, I was just a shade of grey

And if you like what you see

You can pay to play

Just a few lines on what I did some days

But anyway, I busy banging her out

Making her moan, all

She got was dial tones

Stuck in the house, talkin'

Bout you all alone

But you was busy dialin'

Phones when I wasn't home

I need a breath of fresh air

You expect me to be there

Love in the air? Nah

It was just a love affair

How could we build

Us if us ain't there?

How could we build the trust

If the trust ain't there?

How could we make love

If the love is gone?

You say you tryna weather the storm?

I say you tryna cover the

Hurt, not weather the storm

I think we need to

Just pump those breaks

And take this break

Putting up fronts and being fake? Nah

I ain't even with that

You need to choose what side you on

(Woman singing)

Chorus

I'm not asking you to change, change

I gave you everything

You want and need

Sacrifice my life for all your dreams

And baby, baby, I don't understand

My heart is in my hands

Just be a better man for us

(music fades out)
