Make It Work

I'm an Outlier Angel
Oh no-no-no

Ooh, Persona (I love you Equinox)

I been tryna make it work
They say you are who you hang around, all my family single, I'm just tryna break the curse (I love you)
But when you hurt so many times, every time I say "I love you," man that shit just feel rehearsed
They say I'm apathetic, I ain't got no feelings, but I'm putting all my pain in every verse (I'll never hurt you)

So I'm doing all this just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work (Sorry)
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work (Forever)
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Out my mind, I'm steady going berserk (oh no-no-no)

Watch who you call your bro (He was a frenemy)
**** forgot that he was homeless, and they didn't even notice, he ain't have no place to go (Stuck in the cold)
At the age of thirteen, making wishes for his riches, having birthdays on the floor (Happy Birthday)
He was colorblind, couldn't tell snakes from the money and he let it all go
But the one you trust the most be the ones to backdoor
And the lil' **** crossed him, a friend to a foe (D-T-N)
He was never with him in the winter when it snowed, and his bank account was getting low
He started football at the age of 16, blood, sweat, tears tryna go pro (That shit ain't for everybody)
'Member when Jaidyn was smoking under the age of 18, but her momma didn't know
She did it to close her mind, 'cause her thoughts would overflow

Oh no (No-no)
(Whoa, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa)
You don't want me to be with you (Whoa)
You don't want me to be with someone else
How miserable do I have to be before you're happy?

I been tryna make it work
They say you are who you hang around, all my family single, I'm just tryna break the curse (Generational curses)
But when you hurt so many times, every time I say "I love you," man that shit just feel rehearsed (But you ghosted me)
They say I'm apathetic, I ain't got no feelings, but I'm putting all my pain in every verse (And you wonder why)

So I'm doing all this just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work ('Cause you lied)
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work (I ain't making shit work)
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work (I hate you)
Just to make it work, just to make it work
Just to make it work, just to make it work (Never again)

Yeah, I'm here to put the shit to the test (Oh no-no-no)
Like Johnny, I'ma put it to the test
I like the way that you eat, love the way you think, and I love the way you dress (Essentials don't make you hot)
I love that you don't second-guess when you tell me that you love me, you ain't saying nothin' less (double typing)
I got a hole in my heart, hoping we don't grow apart so I can get it off my chest
Your words hurt like they bullets, so I'm putting on my vest
Started rappin' off my prayers, you can tell me that I'm blessed (Blessed)
Never impressed cause it's two bad bitches in front of me
Learned to control my lust, when you marry me tell me yes, I do (I do)
Live in a city where nothin' breathin' but envy, it's plenty
I can't walk down the street without being oppressed (Shit so sad)
So look at my eyes and tell me you wouldn't lie to me
Wasting my time in my bed 'cause Mama needed some rest
I'm choking off all the words that I said I gotta confess
Oh no
