Lyrics
Uh Whoa Nope They couldn't tell me nada Got the tyre wheel smoking like a pack of grabba Still high, still fly, still blowing la-la Let me cook, I get to cheffing like my baby mama A little bad romance, I turn to Lady Gaga Thought I had the real deal but that was Ali Baba Knew a lady, kinda crazy, but she hate wahala Said she'd do a lot of things before she fuck a rapper I don't blame her, lifestyle ain't for everybody And she don't want no anybody, that's for everybody Said I might not get to west if you got Fendi for me They see a little money, wanna spend it for me Like I don't have no family depending on me Like I don't have no enemies still plotting on me Hope God got my back like a Smith and Wesson So I don't have to fear when they be forming weapons, uh Can I breathe? These same tears I cry Still smoke in my eyes Don't wanna tell a lie Can I breathe? I might need a lady that's gon' ride for me I might need a shorty to save time for me I might need some liquor and some privacy Can I breathe? (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) I ain't felt like this in a, this in a I ain't felt like this in a minute Can I breathe? (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) I ain't felt like this in a, this in a I ain't felt like this in a minute, minute, minute Nope And they can't tell me nothing Where you been? Busy bee, I had to get it buzzing Throw some seasoning in the pot and get the speakers bussing Hard to feed the whole fam when everyone your cousin Had to keep my cards close, everybody bluffing Can't pronounce the first course, this linguine's stunning Little rich for my taste, I like the curry mutton Now can you show me something? 'Cause you ain't 'bout to grab a seat and try and eat for nothing Uh, fed a couple mouths when they bit my style Uh, hit a little traffic but we moving now Uh, got too many demons, need a bigger house Uh, start another fire, tryna fuel the doubt I had a lot of homies, now I'm over-friendly Uh, see a little money, wanna spend it for me Uh, like I don't have no family depending on me Uh, like I don't have no enemies still plotting on me Can I breathe? (Oh-yeah) These same tears I cry (I cry) Still smoke in my eyes (good God) Don't wanna tell a lie (wanna tell a lie) Can I breathe? I might need a lady that's gon' ride for me I might need a shorty to save time for me (need some) I might need some liquor and some privacy (thinking I'ma spend some time) Can I breathe? (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) I ain't felt like this in a, this in a I ain't felt like this in a minute So can I breathe? (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) I ain't felt like this in a, this in a I ain't felt like this in a minute, minute, minute Oh, there I go again Scrolling through my phone 'cause I don't wanna be alone again Standing on the edge of love but said I wouldn't fall again Fifty first dates, another Lucy at my door again None of them were you, I told myself I wouldn't call again Temperature was cooking up something for my mental, you know I can't do the therapy You gave me a shoulder I could fall on when I'm falling And I'm tired of the talking and just need a little energy Need a little chemistry Need a little something I could feel like your empathy Needed someone that I knew I'd trust with my legacy Maybe it was meant to be Brave I just pretend to be but you see through my tendencies You say I'm afraid of commitment but never scared to love How you put the baby to sleep but wake the neighbours up? Hate to see the fussing and fighting but love the making up Tell me to remember my prayers, put some faith in us How you see me at my lowest, love the worst of me Remember my truth, forget the perjury Retrograde and mercury, happy you deserve to be Mission I take personally, I'm riding through the turbulence and tending to your I'm tending to your I'm riding through the turbulence and tending to your Hello?
