And I'm gettin' off like the proof is missin'

Em
And my worst trait is that I'm too forgivin'

Em
'Cause I always listen when I shouldn't have listened

Em
Even though y'all never made the city proud

You ain't never had your family down feelin' stuck

And you the one that had to stick it out

But like they bank accounts, it's all figured out

All my exes miss me 'cause they missin' out

I'm finna pop my shit until I fizzle out

New enemies is old friends

So you wonder why the fuck I'm closed in
