80/20

Look, so here's the thing
I'm stuck keeping secrets that I never wanted
They lay on me deeply then come back to haunt me
And if it is one thing that patience has taught me
It's keep giving back and just wait for the karma
Thankful for me but I'm blaming my momma
For granting me curses by raising a charmer
It wasn't easy, the way I was brought up
But that won't effect how the money is garnered
I just keep moving and face all my problems
And don't let nobody know when I get bothered
That only raises their chances to conquer
My feelings of worth which I worked hard to foster
I never fail to take up on the offer
Of sharing my thoughts when I'm starting to ponder
'Bout what's going on that stays under the water
But only my brothers, my brothers like doctors
That's the one time that the shit isn't awkward
We roll with the punches, we moving like boxers
When in the thick of it, get to the bottom
So when it comes up, the shit never a shocker
That's how we're kickin' it, shit is like soccer
This shit moving onward, this shit isn't stopping
I'm in a position where I had to holler
At all of the dogs and let loose with the collar
Wrote out my troubles, I feel like an author
I'm typing these pages, don't feel like a scholar
I'm getting played, man, and life getting harder
But it's gon' blow over and make me feel stronger
When in the end, yeah, we always gon' prosper
Success isn't something that turn me a monster
Living with discipline, dying with honor
So keep your two cents, I'm not talking the copper

Who did you think that I was?
Someone to fill in the bridge of the gap?
Girl, I think that you're speaking in tongues
You gotta leave all that shit in the past
'Cause I'm not tryna fill in the love
This shit is deeper than being replaced
It is all about who I've become
So who did you think that I was?
Someone to fill in the bridge of the gap?
Girl, I think that you're speaking in tongues
You gotta leave all that shit in the past
'Cause I'm not tryna fill in the love
This shit is deeper than being replaced
It is all about who I've become
I'm tryna know you are the one

But it's getting tougher, an answer ain't simple
Can't tell if you love me 'cause we ain't official
But I'm being wishful, I hope it gets figured
I hope that you fit the description I pictured
I'm fighting to make it but you seem indifferent
This shit isn't balanced, just check the percentage
It's eighty and twenty, and maybe you want me
But you never trying to make that shit clearer
So what do I do when I'm lacking the knowledge
I'm calling you flawless, I've emptied my wallet
You want it, I bought it, what more are you wanting
But maybe the money just isn't the answer
Your happiness falling, your man is in college
And I just can't tell if I live up to standards
I'm trying to call you but you just go block me
Or throw it in airplane, girl, where are your manners
Let's have discussions, make it accustom
Make sure the effort I'm giving ain't nothing
Make sure the leather you're sniffing is tuscan
Make sure the essence you're gifted is luscious
I'm back on my bullshit, wish that I wasn't
Wish thing could work in my favor, it doesn't
Wish you would take all your ties and get cutting
But that just depends on who it is you're loving
I just can't tell, it gets confusing
Please fill me in on who it is you're using
Tell me before all the feelings we're brewing
Come out of the pot 'cause the shit gon' start oozing
Girl, it's too late, it's in the music
What does that say 'bout yourself as a human?
All I can say is I pray you're improving
Maturity's coming in hand as we're blooming

Who did you think that I was?
Someone to fill in the bridge of the gap?
Girl, I think that you're speaking in tongues
You gotta leave all that shit in the past
'Cause I'm not tryna fill in the love
This shit is deeper than being replaced
It is all about who I've become
So who did you think that I was?
Someone to fill in the bridge of the gap?
Girl, I think that you're speaking in tongues
You gotta leave all that shit in the past
'Cause I'm not tryna fill in the love
This shit is deeper than being replaced
It is all about who I've become
I'm tryna know you are the one
