Complicated

[Verse 1: Dave East]

Let's be honest, shorty

I got bitches, you got niggas, don't be modest, shorty

Complicated but simple, I don't know how to call it

I be smoking you be drinkin', we both tired of fallin' in lust

I can't find nobody, I can zone out and can talk to

I don't want no wifey, don't get mad if I don't call you

Get you Chanel shit, from what they gave me at this walk through

I can tell you ain't had nobody to give your all to

Understand I'm street as fuck, might get you a beamer truck

I was taught just throw some bread, every time I seen a duck

Grippin' and I keep it tucked, she felt it while she huggin' me

Am I happy to see you, nah, this shit help me move comfortably

Sit you down in front of me, massage you like I love your soul

You sleep all up under me, I treat you like the one I chose

It's complicated, your momma hate it, I get inside, you say I'm amazin'

Fresh out the shower, I probably taste it, no conversation

What is love when you lustin', afraid of trust and you either fuckin' or fussin'

I never happen to rush it, that make 'em come fuck the function up

That's why I got no connections, just chicks that wanna fuck

Then argue, I don't love enough, make sure I pick some rubbers up

Kairi don't need no sisters, probably only make women

My past chicks is forbidden, from livin' this life with me

You might of came to studios but you ain't write for me

You only watch me pour my lean, ain't sip no Sprite with me

She got ass, look at her face, my niggas' hypin' me

Still can't take this ride with me, I think about you, while I'm fuckin' her

It's complicated, I'm tellin' on myself, won't say another word

[Verse 2: Wale]

It’s complicated to find a lady in my generation

That’s not preoccupied with social clout

We almost fazing out from the high we get from love and conversation

To go on IG galavanting for likes and shit, oh, it’s complicated

I’m tryna say I need loyalty like Clyde Barrow was tryna get

When Bonnie was shot up riding shotgun with him

My problems are justified but, I gotta admit

I got someone who loves me so effortless

But, I’m so messed up from another chick I feel like such a bitch ass nigga

That my exes got the power with no effort to decline the next shawty I get

So, I’m guarded and shit

But, never mind that 'cause you're a goddess and shit

What I’m tryna say is I like you but it’s complicated

Foundation on all my pillows, still your tender face is flawless when the sky kiss you

Should I bury you in compliments or buy gifts or

Just let you tell me bye and for that time I’ll miss you

My life is fairly complicated

You show too much of your heart I promise they confiscate it

I am young, black, and accomplished baby but

I’m not the type to bring home to mama, I’m just crazy

'Cause I’m broad crazy, monogamy’s kind of hard for me

When I start throwing them curves that’s when they caught feelings

I got famous at a young age, I’m spoiled

I get paid, don’t go out so the club scene I’m bored of

I don’t believe in unicorns nor pure love, but more so the latter, seen Porzingis from courtside

I got missed calls from porn stars and church girls

You’d be surprised who get the wildest and squirt more

[Bridge]

Let’s be honest shawty

I got bitches you got niggas don’t be modest shawty

Don’t care about your IG pictures I don’t follow anyway

'Cause, if I really like you I don’t like your pictures, dig it?

[Verse 3]

I believe that love is complicated at best

And at it’s worst it’s a permanent burning in your chest

I pray to earn that from somebody someday

But, somehow someway, I no longer have a heart to invest

It’s miles away, the smiles is fake and my job ain’t real

Why would you think I’ll find a woman who is?

I’m high today, tomorrow I’m chill 'cause my job get real

What mature woman would put up with my shit?

I mean I’m damaged goods

I mean, I’m rather good at being just kind of good to women who deserve more from me

But, I see you as something more than a purring kitty

You hate my state of mind, somehow you think the world of me

[Outro]

It’s complicated

It’s complicated

It’s complicated

It’s complicated

Just be honest shawty

I got bitches you got niggas don’t be modest shawty

Don’t care about your IG pictures I don’t follow anyway

'Cause if I really like you I won’t... fuck it

Block all them bitches, 'cause it’s complicated
