From Time

What's up? Been a minute since we kicked it,

You've been caught up with them bitches,

I don't get it, you're a star love,

You shouldn't have to deal with that,

I'll never make you feel like that,,

Cause I love me, I love me enough for the both of us,

That's why you trust me,

I know you been through more than most of us,

So what are you? what are you, what are you so afraid of?

Darling you, you give but you cannot take love,,

I needed to hear that shit, I hate when you're submissive,

Passive aggressive when we're texting, I feel the distance,

I look around the peers that surround me, these niggas tripping,

I like when money makes a difference but don't make you different,

Started realizing a couple places I can take it,

I want to get back to when I was that kid in the basement,

I want to take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation,

And influence a generation that's lacking in patience,

I've been dealing with my dad, speaking a lack of patience,

Just me and my old man getting back to basics,

We've been talking 'bout the future and time that we wasted,

When he put that bottle down, girl that nigga's amazing,

Well, fuck it, we had a couple Coronas,

We might have rolled a white paper, just something to hold us,

We even talked about you and our couple of moments,

He said we should hash it out like a couple of grown ups,

You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone,

Looking like you came from the 70's on your own,

My mother is 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is,

Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?,

Y'all don't even know what you want from love anymore,

I search for something I'm missing and disappear when I'm bored,

But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?,

Who you settling for Who better for you than the boy, hah?

I love me, I love me enough for the both of us,

That's why you trust me,

I know you been through more than most of us,

So what are you what are you, what are you so afraid of?

Darling you, you give but you cannot take love,,

Thinkin' about Texas back when Porsche used to work at Treasures,

Or further back then that, before I had the Houston leverage,

When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my momma's debit,

A weak attempt at flexing, I'll never forget it,

Cause that night I played her three songs,

Then we talked about something we disagreed on,

Then she started telling me how I'll never be as big as Trey Songz,

Boy was she wrong, that was just negative energy for me to feed off,

Now it's therapeutic blowing money in a galleria,

Or Beverly Center Macy's where I discovered Bria,

Landmarks to the 'muses that inspired the music,

When I could tell it was sincere without trying to prove it,

The one that I needed was Kourtney from Hooters on P Street,

I've always been feeling like she was the piece to complete me,

Now she engaged to be married, what's the rush on commitment'

Know we were going through some shit, name a couple that isn't,

Remember our talk in the parking lot at the Ritz,

Girl I thought we had it all planned out, guess I fucked up the vision,

Learning the true consequences of my selfish decisions,

When you find out how I?m living I just hope I'm forgiven,

It seems like you don?t want this love anymore,

I?m acting out in the open it?s hard for you to ignore,

But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?,

Who you settling for, who better for you than the boy, huh?

I love me, I love me enough for the both of us

That's why you trust me,

I know you been through more than most of us

So what are you? what are you, what are you so afraid of?

Darling you, you give but you cannot take love.
