Lyrics

What's up, mija?
It's been a long time since we've talked
I just want you to listen
Don't talk, just listen
&
We went from crushin' to likin' to love
But fightin' had me hittin' cigarettes like bud
So check it out, see, there I was, focused
I've seen through my mistakes and learned
That love is not a game
It made me smile and kept me happy too
So love is not to blame
I quit on givin' excuses
I felt I gave her the world
But didn't see the lack of love in time was takin' my girl
Who always bragged on the clique
She even helped on my songs
I guess it's true, you never miss the ones you love 'til they're gone
I should've answered my pager, shouldn't have left with my friends
And even now with the money, the love is makin' no sense
A woman all alone, thinkin' of how you did her wrong
Is known to have this little voice inside that says, "Keep movin' on"
I should've known it all along
That every time I left the home, I sure gave her
The perfect explanations to her doin' wrong
It's been a long time, but somehow it seems like
It just happened yesterday, them words she used to say
Somehow they just keep gettin' in the way, tellin' me

I don't really wanna have to live my life without you, bae
I promise I'll be good to you, I know it's all about you, bae
I don't really wanna have to live my life without you, bae
I promise I'll be good to you, I know it's all about you, bae

You know, it's funny, they say, uh
You only get one shot at true love in a lifetime
Hmm, and I guess this was my shot, huh?
It's too bad things didn't work out the way we wanted 'em to
Guess that's just how it goes

Looked into your eyes and I seen a teardrop fallin'
And it broke my heart that it was my fault
But I can't change me
See, I never felt love before, and it's killin' me
And to see you were down for me, confused
Things I was around, the abusers who used us
For the name, for the game, for the fame
But them hoes were the same
And you came with the real and never lied
But you got a man, and you need to be by his side
'Cause when enemies come, they come for the ones that you love
And I swear to God I would empty my own knot
From my own chest if I knew you were laid to rest
Sometimes the hardest things to do in this world
Are the ones that are for the best
And I gave you my heart, but I don't want it back (Nah)
You can keep that 'cause it's yours
A lovin' memory of a love that can never be
In a physical form, and you and I both know
You win some, you lose some, so we walk away
Forbidden love, damn
As I turn back to hear you say, "I don't wanna live"

I don't really wanna have to live my life without you, bae
I promise I'll be good to you, I know it's all about you, bae
I don't really wanna have to live my life without you, bae
I promise I'll be good to you, I know it's all about you, bae
&
Baby doll, you the one I wanna be with
You're the kinda girl I wanna be seen with
If you see what I see, it could be me and you
If the love is really true, you'll be one and I'll be two
What's the matter, baby boo?
Am I comin' too hard?
Comin' out hard like I roll the boulevard
Got the keys to my heart, you were knockin' on my door
Door was always open, I was wishin', I was hopin'
You could see it in my eyes, I ain't gonna lie
I don't give a fuck if I roll a new truck
'Cause the money can't buy a true friend you can trust
All the love and the lust we discussed on the hush
What's the matter, baby? Tell me, what's the matter, baby?
Tell me, why you mad at me?
Tell me, if you can, maybe I could be your man
Do you really understand that I'm doin' all I can?
But the snitches and the bitches steady fuckin' up my plan
'Cause I am who I am and I do what I do
It's fucked up gettin' caught up with a love that ain't true
Like the first time around when we were crazy little kids
I'm a sucker for the love and you did me like you did
Now the second time around, hear you whisper in the wind
'Cause the rumors go around, they get caught up in the twist
No matter what they say, try to dirty up my name
Roberto, I'm a loco, I ain't never gonna change
What I'm really tryna say, baby, it's okay
You wanna have fun? We can have it that way
I'm a lover, I'm a fighter, I'm a rapper, I'm a writer
And I'm lookin' for a hyna that is proper
Who can give me all the time in the world
From her head to the toe
In the backseat parked on the side of the road
Gimme one last dance, gimme one last chance
With a one man's girl, livin' with or without

I don't really wanna have to live my life without you, bae
I promise I'll be good to you, I know it's all about you, bae
I don't really wanna have to live my life without you, bae
I promise I'll be good to you, I know it's all about you, bae

You see, relationships
You get what you put in
And you get what you deserve
See, I got what I deserve
And I made it like that

Don't leave me alone, I couldn't make it on my own
I hope you're okay, I'm sittin' waitin' by the phone
I want you to stay, so baby, when you comin' home?
But what can I say? You're never home, you're always gone
Don't leave me alone, I couldn't make it on my own
I hope you're okay, I'm sittin' waitin' by the phone
I want you to stay, so baby, when you comin' home?
But what can I say? You're never home, you're always gone
