I Love You
Nothing like having a good woman by your side, darling
Thank you thank you baby, thank you thank you baby
You are my glory
My revenge on every woman that ever ignored me
You are my baby
My BET award they never gave me
Girl you are to me, baby, what KC is to Jodeci
Oh my destination
My everyday, nothing short of amazing
I, (I love you) just wanna let you know
That I, (I love you) promise to always show it
No one loves you more
Never leave my baby for sure
Two wrongs don't make it right
But it sure makes it even
I've been loving you my whole life
Never once did it cross my mind to start cheating
You make me feel so alive
Can't on you girl, ever, take your place
You've been with it through thick and skin
I ain't going away, so get used to this face
Take a look at it baby
I, (I love you) just wanna let you know
That I, (I love you) promise to always show it
No one loves you more
Never leave my baby for sure
Now hold up, before I go
There's something I wanna let you know
I'm willing to fight for you
I'm gonna do right by you
And baby I know I make mistakes
But I'm willing to do what it takes to love you
I, (I love you) just wanna let you know
That I, (I love you) promise to always show it
No one loves you more
Never leave my baby for sure
Love you, I love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, I love you
Love you, I love you, I love you

She Don't Wanna
Ay you you, yeah you, that's holding on to that woman and has no intention of being with her. Let her go man
She wanna be your woman, you wanna be her man
But you already got somebody and she don't wanna break up your family
Seems like y'all go through this all the time, she must be out her damn mind
Cause you keep saying you're leaving her, she believes you every time
And in her heart she knows she'll never be more than your chick on the side
Though she loves you, she still got her pride, and inside
She don't wanna live like this
But she can't let you go
She shouldn't have to get like this
That just kills her more and more
She don't wanna live like this
But she can't let you go
She shouldn't have to get like this
She should be walking out the door
But she can't
She wanna make you happy, and love you all the time
But she don't know how that would make her feel
To see your little girl and look her in her eyes
And know that she's the reason why she cries
That would turn her up inside
And if you think about, it don't make sense, fucking up that young girl's life
Cause in your heart you know she'll never be more than your chick on the side
Though she love's you, she can't cross that line
She don't wanna live like this
But she can't let you go
She shouldn't have to get like this
That just kills her more and more
She don't wanna live like this
But she can't let you go
She shouldn't have to get like this
She should be walking out the door
But she can't
If you don't love her then let her go find someone that's better
Ain't no sense in holding up her progress
Love her, or leave her alone, see what it's doing to her
Can't you see what you're doing in wrong
(Right now, choose) Either you're all in or all out
(Choose), no more excuses or sneaking around
Give her what she deserves, if you can't put it in words
Repeat after me, I said you're free
She don't wanna live like this
But she can't let you go
She shouldn't have to get like this
That just kills her more and more
She don't wanna live like this
But she can't let you go
She shouldn't have to get like this
She should be walking out the door
But she can't

#Hashtag
Now I don't know what the fuck you think is gonna happen,
but niggas is out here tryna get money.
How long do you it's gonna be before the poor have
nothing left to eat, nothing left to eat but the rich?
I'm all fucked up out here
Bitches so stuck up out here
I ain't getting no younger
But I don't think I can be broke another summer out here
Should I rob the connect?
Nah I don't need to beef with the Mexicans, not right now
Nigga hungry, #hashtag lonely
#hashtag somebody gon' end up in a trash bag, #hashtag
One man showed, out here
Tryna get off of parole, out here
Got a grant to go to college
But soon as the money came, brought her half a key of the powder, I'm outchea
Lord please forgive me for all my sins, I just wish I could do it again
But I'd, probably fuck it up again
More cash, smoking weed and praying at the same damn time
More cash, be high out my fuckin' mind
I just wanna drink 'til the pain's gone
Get this thing here out of me before the morning comes
Don't wanna be stopping at no red light
I just wanna wanna lose nights, wanna lose nights
I just wanna smoke 'til the pain's gone
Tell my baby girl I lover her if I don't make it home
Don't wanna be stopping at no red lights
It's one of those nights, one of those nights, yup
Nothing is free out here
People count on me out here
Maybe I should get a day job
Mama said she dreaming she visiting the graveyard, out here
You should rob the connect, nah baby
I told your ass the Mexicans don't play that shit
Nigga desperate, #hashtag wreckless
#hashtag fuckin' need a way to get some fast cash, #hashtag
So stressed out, out here
They don't know what it's about, out here
Best friend just caught a murder
He just got 40 years for the murder, 3 years for the burner, out here
Lord please forgive me for all my sins, I just wish I could do it again
But I, just wanna tell you my side of the story
Okay, and if what I'm saying sounds like a lie
Okay, keep in mind that I'm high
I just wanna drink 'til the pain's gone
Get this thing here out of me before the morning comes
Don't wanna be stopping at no red light
I just wanna wanna lose nights, wanna lose nights
I just wanna smoke 'til the pain's gone
Tell my baby girl I lover her if I don't make it home
Don't wanna be stopping at no red lights
It's one of those nights, one of those nights, yup

We're Not The Same
(feat. Algebra Blessett)
Ain't no sense in playing, these niggas hear what I'm saying
Them diamonds on your pinky ring really ain't mean a shit to me
Voice without a purpose, you niggas could never hurt us
I feel the energy, hell of a chemistry, if I could, stop... Go
Expensive clothes with no logos
I don't even throw 1's on the floor no more
What the fuck you putting on a show for?
You don't need that attention, unless you're doing promo
Ice on the watch like this is a no no
I know what it go for, what it gotta glow for
My daddy told me have more that you show
So what if you're rich, what they gotta know for?
Never talk cheese around rats, never talk bread around bird
I chose my words
Windows tinted, they don't even know it's me in it
I don't want 'em all in my business, yeah
My number changes like every 3 months
Bitch only get to lie to me once
Let me know when the coast is clear
These niggas hustling to be seen, I'm hustling to disappear
You and me, we're not the same
Probably right now you won't understand
Just cause we live on the same planet
I'm telling you, you and me, we're not the same
You think that showing off makes you a boss
But it makes you look insecure and lost
Necklaces with one gem stone
I don't even wear it out, I tuck it in like a new born
So man ears it's like a field full of corn
So I don't say shit out the norm, no
See most of you dudes is like a clown in the corner
You used to be funny, now it's death around the corner
Sad part about it, that when the show's over
Here's the last puch line, I can't do nothin' for ya
Never tell people where I'm at
My standard reply is I'm out here checking traps
Very few friends, only got two because they're twins
And one of them owes me some M's
My number changes like every 3 months
Bitch only get to lie to me once
Let me know when the coast is clear
These niggas hustling to be seen, I'm hustling to disappear
You and me, we're not the same
Probably right now you won't understand
Just cause we live on the same planet
I'm telling you, you and me, we're not the same
You think that showing off makes you a boss
But it makes you look insecure and lost
You and me, we are, we are, we are, not the same
We are not the same
You and me, we are, we are, we are, we are not the same

Pretty Is
When the lights go out
And the clothes go on
All the money in the air
And "I'm that bitch" is gone
She walks out that door
A little slower than before
Every nigga in the parking lot trying to take her home
But she knows
That ain't what she came here for
She knows
She just trying to stack some dough
She knows
They be thinking she's a hoe
Girl get your money, don't let them turn it in to something ugly
There's no need to hurry
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because you fall but get up
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because your still full of love
He want a lap dance
He want a chance
He want to sell her dream but she ain't buying
She wants real love
Somebody that will never judge her
Somebody who don't want to just - her
Somebody who respects her heart
Because she know
That ain't what she came here for
She knows
She just trying to stack some dough
She knows
They be thinking she's a hoe
Just get your money, don't let them turn it in to something ugly
There's no need to hurry
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because you fall but get up
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because your still full of love
Ok, hair extensions and half spilts don't make you pretty
Something that comes from within and not on some man
She be up there with the stars
Shinning bright, like a diamond
So inspiring
Pretty is what pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because you fall but get up
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because you fall but get up
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because you fall but get up
Pretty is what pretty does
You'll always be pretty because you know how to love
