Compensating

[Chorus: Aminé & J. Cole]

Compensatin' for your feelings

And you know the feelin'

This is what you thought would heal it

But it makes you feel it

Tryin' things you thought would cheer it

But you grow to fear it

Times, they come and go like spirits (You good, T-Minus?)

I see these signs the clearest

[Verse 1: Aminé]

And you, and you, and you know why (Yuh)

You've been fuckin' with me since I was a small fry (True)

And your ex-man (Yuh), that's my lil' guy (Yuh)

I know some niggas that'll kick 'em to the coast lines (True)

I'm a West Side nigga, we don't show signs (No)

You got some fake friends, they just toe lines (Yeah)

Text, I reply, baby, 'til my phone die (Yeah)

You know he lied if a nigga said he don't lie (Ayy)

[Refrain: Aminé]

I fucked up once again (Yeah)

And you know that I'm never too proud to beg (No)

It's hard to admit that I've made my bed (Yeah)

And you know I'ma always wish you the best (True)
