When It Hurts

Even when it hurts

I said, even when it hurts

Even when it hurts

Even when it hurts

Would you still put me first, even when it hurts?

Even when it hurts, even when it

Damn, remember when it was just an idea?

It's kinda crazy how we made it here

All the pain, hard work and blood, sweat and tears

All the bros that we lost, how we wish was here

I don't like suprises, it's why I always take the stairs

I know these bitches ain't shit, that's why I stay prepared

My ex tried to make me jealous, thinking that I cared

Forgetting 'bout the last bitch that took what was here

Yeah, hard for me to really hurt

I wish me and Brit could make it work

See in her mind think I'm puttin' other bitches first

I just wonder who she'll fuck once I'm in the dirt

See I watched Myiesha and I know she really love my brother

He was dead for a year, she found another lover, damn

You can't control nothin' when you gone

And it's only so long that I'm on, so enjoy the moment

Ain't it crazy how the brain work?

Success is nothin' with no pain first

A couple million right now is what my name worth

I love my **** much it's like we got the same Earth

Watch **** they in a disguise

Loyalty til the end, who in for the ride?

Xanies and dem Percs, got a **** fried

It's like Medusa if you ever lookin in my eyes

Closest I'll get to Heaven is my kids

'Cause I know I gotta answer for the shit I did

My hands too dirty for Him to forgive

I mean, it is what it is

Don't understand how I'm still blessed

I'm just tryna stop my mother's stress

Take care of the kids and the ones that my brother left

So if you tryna stop that you better come correct

She like, "Albee, why I ain't meet ya mother yet?"

'Cause it never last with the ones my mother met

I used to sneak outside whIle my mother slept

I prolly made a hundred thousand on my mother's steps, yeah

Truth be told, that's the truth be told

Truth be told, that's the truth be told

She said, "Albee don't you lie to me"

I said, "I love you girl, honestly"

This is how it gotta be

I know you gettin' tired of me

I be getting tired of me

It hurt to see you cry taome

How long would you ride for me?

And see me as your prodigy?

Yea hI know you love me but love is like a lie to me

So many people lied to me

It took so much up outta me

I'm drained, I'm drained

And I don't mean to put you in the same bucket

But how I protect myself and just saying, "Fuck it?"

Hypothetically your love is just ahead of me

And I'm just tryna be a better me, me

The same thing that make you laugh could make you cry

The same thing that make you quit could make you try

I see them tears in her eyes

And it hurt me because I'm the reason why, I'm the reason why

Why I'm still like this

No love ain't 'posed ta feel like this, it make me feel like shit

Maybe it's best for us to separate

How much you really love me? She don't hesitate

Maybe it's best for the both of us

Why you speaking up for both of us?

Albee boy I know it sucks

I don't know it all but I know enough

You acting like it ain't no hope for us

And I gave you all of me

You ignoring me like I ain't show enough

Boy you grown but you ain't growing up

I know, I know, I know, I know

But, this love shit you gotta brace yourself

'Cause if another person cross me I'ma hate myself

And you prolly don't wanna hear it

Cursin' me out, thinking I'm careless

Thinkin' I don't feel shit

But I would die for you that's real shit

You know all the pain that I dealt with?

The pain I dealt with

All this pain that I dealt with

All this pain that I dealt with

Would you still put me first?

Would you still put me first?

Even when it seems like it don't work?

Even when it seems like it won't work?

Would you still put me first?

Even when it hurts

I said even when it hurts

Would you still me first?

Even when it hurts
