B will never know how much it really hurts Images so vivid, so clear, oh my dear You have no idea who I know here Think fast, be on your A game Silly for me to think we was on the same page You really don't know anybody these days She stays for his sake, a sweet face Mind spinnin', the clock tickin', my soul missin' Did well to convince me that your soul different Give someone an inch and they will take a mile It might take a while Now I see you've approached this in a faker style This must be the apocalypse, feels like the world's ending Who am I? I'm a mess, more sinning, more spending More down days tryna make it through the seventh Can't believe I almost got rid of my independence Type of fuckery will have you look At yourself and start second guessin' Now I'm on crud like shit will get messy if you ever get to testin' But really I'm a sensitive soul and I'll stress it What happens when someone takes advantage of that?
