From Time (feat. Jhene Aiko)

Wassup?

Been a minute since we kicked it

You've been caught up

With them bitches, I don't get it

You're a star, love

You shouldn't have to deal with that

I'd never make you feel like that

'Cause, I love me

I love me enough for the both of us

That's why you trust me

I know you been through more than most of us

So what are you, what are you

What are you so afraid of?

Darling you, you give but you cannot take love

Yeah, I needed to hear that shit, I hate when you're submissive

Passive aggressive when we're textin', I feel the distance

I look around at peers that surround me, these ****'s trippin'

I like when money makes a difference, but don't make you different

Started realizin' a couple places I could take it

I wanna get back to when I was that kid in the basement

I wanna take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation

And influence a generation that's lackin' in patience

I been dealin' with my dad, speakin' of lack of patience

Just me and my old man gettin' back to basics

We been talkin' about the future and time that we wasted

When he put the bottle down, girl, that ****'s amazin'

Well, fuck it, we had a couple Coronas

We mighta rolled a white paper just somethin' to hold us

We even talked about you and our couple of moments

He said we should hash it out like a couple of grownups

You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone

Looking like you came in from the 70's on your own

My mother is 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is

Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?

Y'all don't even know what you want from love anymore

I search for somethin' I'm missin' and dissapear when I'm bored

But girl, what qualities was I lookin' for before?

Who you settlin' for?

Who better for you than the boy, huh?

I love me

I love me enough for the both of us

That's why you trust me

I know you been through more than most of us

So what are you, what are you

What are you so afraid of?

Darling you, you give but you cannot take love

Uh, thinking about Texas back when Porsche used to work at Treasures

Or further back than that, before I had the Houston leverage

When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my momma's debit

A weak attempt at flexin', I'll never forget it

'Cause that night, I played her three songs

Then we got to talkin' 'bout somethin' we dissagreed on

Then she start tellin' me how I'll never be as big as Trey Songz

Boy, was she wrong

That was just negative energy for me to feed off

Now it's therapeutic blowin' money in the galleria

Or Beverly Center Macy's where I discovered Bria

Landmarks to the muses that inspire the music

When I could tell it was sincere without tryna prove it

The one that I needed was Courtney from Hooters on P-street

I've always been feelin' like she was the piece to complete me

Now she engaged to be married, what's the rush on commitment?

Know we were going through some shit, name a couple that isn't?

'Member our talk in the parking lot of the 'Ritz, girl?

I felt like we had it all planned out, I guess I fucked up the vision

Learnin' the true consequences of my selfish decisions

When you find out how I'm livin', I just hope I'm forgiven

It seem like you don't want this love anymore

I'm actin' out in the open, it's hard for you to ignore

But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?

Who you settlin' for?

Who better for you than the boy, huh?

I love me

I love me enough for the both of us

That's why you trust me

I know you been through more than most of us

So what are you, what are you

What are you so afraid of?

Darling you, you give but you cannot take love
