He was the coolest I had ever known
He did me dirty so I let him go
Now everything is alright
After I said goodbye
He did me dirty so I let him go
Now everything is alright
After I said goodbye
I took it in silence I took it to heart
I carried it quietly over the wall
There were too many prophets there
I carried it quietly over the wall
There were too many prophets there
Everyday, I was strugglin' to learn what life's about
On my way, money taught me Spanish, make it andale
On my way, money taught me Spanish, make it andale
And if everything else falls apart, I still have you
If I can't find my way back home, we'll make something new
If I can't find my way back home, we'll make something new
When you find me swimming across your ocean
Babe I'll be your potion when you cry
Take your tears babe, I don't need your problems
Want you to solve them and get the fuck out my past
Babe I'll be your potion when you cry
Take your tears babe, I don't need your problems
Want you to solve them and get the fuck out my past
I was so down in the mud I couldn't even let my light shine
It was always there when I needed to phone a friend or use a lifeline
It was always there when I needed to phone a friend or use a lifeline
Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It's been there for days on end
And it's been waiting for you to open up
It's been there for days on end
And it's been waiting for you to open up
Ghetto in here, flash it
Oooh them boys stay nasty
Floating like Aladdin
Damn girl was you talking to me?
Oooh them boys stay nasty
Floating like Aladdin
Damn girl was you talking to me?
Come give it to me, play by play
I could tell you've been bored all day
'Cause you're young and you still got time
Don't waste your time
We been wasting away
I could tell you've been bored all day
'Cause you're young and you still got time
Don't waste your time
We been wasting away
Been there done that messed around
I'm having fun don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
This time baby I'll be bulletproof
I'm having fun don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
This time baby I'll be bulletproof
So you feel all your powers unfold
Stretching our big wings while the white is turning gold
So tell your story baby, don't give up, just let it all go out
Stretching our big wings while the white is turning gold
So tell your story baby, don't give up, just let it all go out
Now I'm rising for the crown, rising up to you
Filled with all the strength I can find
There's nothing I can't do
Filled with all the strength I can find
There's nothing I can't do
You can never do wrong
It's me that makes the evening long
And I hope you believe me when I say
That I don't see any other
It's me that makes the evening long
And I hope you believe me when I say
That I don't see any other
And all I want is to be home
Hit the gas, just be alone
Turn off the world
Dance with myself, like ballerinas
Hit the gas, just be alone
Turn off the world
Dance with myself, like ballerinas
I never thought I would be twisted up like this
But I know my spirit hasn't given up so I persist
And resist the urge to sit and reminisce
But I know my spirit hasn't given up so I persist
And resist the urge to sit and reminisce
So do your worst to me, test my loyalty
I will pass with distinction of first degree
I lost my mind to you
Somewhere down the line that you drew
But I only have myself to blame
I will pass with distinction of first degree
I lost my mind to you
Somewhere down the line that you drew
But I only have myself to blame
Youâre beautiful babeâ¨Youâre really somethingâ¨Stylinâ I gotta sayâ¨T-shirt, designer jeans
What's wrong, nigga?
I thought you was keeping it gangsta?
I thought this what you wanted?
They say if you scared you can go to church,
But remember he knows the Bible too
I thought you was keeping it gangsta?

They say if you scared you can go to church,
But remember he knows the Bible too
I gotta have my star on the doorâ¨I want the world, nothing lessâ¨All the glam and the pressâ¨Only giving me the best reviews
Nice surprise, now realizin', I'm so poppin', I melt icesâ¨Bitch so hot hot, I cool your crotch, I take it low, bring it back top
You're enticing you're a villainâ¨Came in silent but your hit was deadlyâ¨Now we dancing and I'm living
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's hard to ignore youâ¨And I can't wrap my head around itâ¨But it feels, oh like I loved you before
