I remember when I went to Fisk, and the moment that
I met you, I acted like I couldn't find my way and you
Could show me, so I let you, I'm sitting inside of that
Talent show turning around in my chair like a kid now
I'm thinking about all of the stupidest shit that I did
But the fact that I'm here now, word to Cloyd and
Aunt Berna, they said "go to college", I heard ya
It was 2014 and I'd do anything to get the fuck away
From Cleveland, I went in for an education, but
I came home with my heart gone, and I ain't even
Really mad about it, cuz I recognize what you are though
You showed me something that I didn't know, that I
Was capable of being different, but I was a really
Stubborn muthafuckah, so in the beginning I didn't listen
My pockets were tight and I couldn't afford it, I had
To go back to the crib but I made sure that I stayed
In touch, and that's how we ended up here, we didn't
Work out but that's alright, cuz I learned me a couple
Of lessons, and I ain't really the religious type
But being with you was a blessing
Cuz it got me ready for the next stage, in a different book
On the same page, but I gotta be honest, if we had the
Opportunity to do it again, I'd come running back to
Your ass, but I guess my love is different, cuz any
Other nigga probably would've moved on if he
Wasn't hitting, we ate together, we played together
We laid together, and we stayed together
("Can you answer the phone?")
I'm afraid I can't do that, cuz it will only make this worse
I done been through way too much and I won't volunteer
To be hurt, fuck that, so I guess I gotta let you go, cuz
I can't wait around my entire life
For a woman that already told me no!
