Playing Our Part

歌詞

Mic, mic, mic Yeah we good now Turn the vocals down a little bit, just a little bit I want it loud Here's my moment of clarity I've been misleadin' you all, givin' you half of me I've been blazin' a trail and leavin' casualties I've diagnosed myself, I think it's apathy So lettin' go became easy, grabbin' ahold that's the hardest I know our expiration date soon as we start it You come around and you feel safe while you're a target You feelin' like I let you inside, while I'm guarded It's genius when arrogance seems like it's modest Look past the insanity, glance at the logic Appears optional, all of it is stipulated Watch and learn how emotions get manipulated Now you in dire need of help You the victim, made to think you did it to yourself Speakin' of, rest in peace Sandra Bland I'm believin' everything that wasn't on that cam But back to you, beauty, let me address our lil' movement You in therapy but I don't see the improvement Oh whatever's been made now days is ruined So every few months I ponder what the fuck are we doin' Let me watch my words again You easily got one of the best pussies that I've ever been inserted in You real kind, real sweet, real nurturin' Yet every time we link back up, you just get hurt again You put all men in a box, I ain't one of 'em Funny how you got all the answers and none of 'em You only dated three men so I'm scared of you Cause with no point of reference, what the fuck are you comparin' to? You good one minute, psycho the next No longer lettin' it ride, too much Jekyll and Hyde Then you subtweet for weeks, busy settin' your pride I'm grown, don't really need that sort of mess in my life But wait, you of age, you old too I control my emotions, yours control you You bright enough to know when you get impulsive For me, that's repulsive, how do you not know this? And then we go our separate ways Just to link back on better days Though I know it's short term and you never stay You always a sucker for that text that say "Yo what up? Are you good? Hit me up whenever you in the hood" Then we fuck, and it's fine Then you get all this bullshit on your mind I'm waitin' for you to talk, but you won't Then you wait for me to react but I don't Then you go, and I watch We know how this movie go, but we watch 'Cause we just playin' our parts You're watchin' how I perform and it's breakin' your heart You home alone backtrackin', replayin' the start You realize this whole script you've been playin' a mark That ain't stop you from takin' a part I guess we're both just playin' our parts Yeah, and so the pussy ain't enough now They keep thinkin' it should be enough, how? Fuck sex, baby, later for that This mind game I'm playin' is a greater climax Not a franchise player, I can't pay you the max I can't say it to you so I just say it in raps I got a rep that I made all by myself One I hate all by myself That comes from decisions created all by myself I can't shake it all by myself See I grew up in the spotlight Where your every move is eyed The truth becomes lies when you're that scrutinized No mentorship, I was unsupervised Had to learn on my own every rule to survive Still I manned up in caught those wrongs Go ahead and judge Joe, I got my court clothes on Y'all see the front, behind the scenes more goes on Check my back catalog, it's in all those songs, forreal So I can be at peace forever I left the puzzle right there, nigga, piece it together But back to you, beauty, small waist, fat booty It's cool for the moment but don't permanently move me They come through tossin' me ass like it's their duty But who I was ain't who I am, I say it truly Yeah I am shootin' 'em down without the Uzi Unlike them niggas you know, don't try and group me Watched myself on TV, was unruly How the fuck they cast me wrong in my own movie They say you are what you attract Here I am, screamin', "fuck all that" Then I'm forced to believe I attract and adore Bunch of unstable broads with character flaws With plenty luggage, I greet 'em with their bags at the door If that's true then it's some shit I'd rather ignore Cause check it, whatever helps you get by So when they hit me, I always reply They always be like, "what's up? Are you good? Hit me up whenever you in the hood" Then we fuck, and it's fine Then you get all this bullshit on your mind I'm waitin' for you to talk, but you won't Then you wait for me to react but I don't Then you go, and I watch We know how this movie go, but we watch 'Cause we just playin' our parts You're watchin' how I perform and it's breakin' your heart You home alone backtrackin', replayin' the start Realize this whole script you've been playin' a mark But that ain't stop you from takin' a part I guess we're both just playin' our parts Just where I'm at lately Look at the monster this industry done made me Shit I loved the most, I let it jade me Cryin' out for help, somebody save me But I can't let 'em know all that They take it as weakness when you show all that So I just live in my mind till this hoe call back Every time I'm knocked down you see Joe crawl back, forreal Nowadays they all the same Enhanced body parts, smaller brains They don't get a hi in fact Mums the word, baby girl, it's now quiet for that, forreal If you got nothin' to offer Sorry Mrs. Jackson, gotta off ya But as long as you leave 'em alone It's when they send that same text to the phone They always be like, "what's up? Are you good? Hit me up whenever you in the hood" Then we fuck, and it's fine Then you get all this bullshit on your mind I'm waitin' for you to talk, but you won't You wait for me to react but I don't Then you go, and I watch We know how this movie go, but we watch 'Cause we just playin' our parts I guess we're both just playin' our parts I play mine well Better than you And it go... baby, baby!
