She my number one I don't need nothing on the side

Said that I was done for good and don't want no more lies

But my phone be blowing up, temptations on my line

I stare at the screen a while before I press decline

But she plants the seed and it still lingers in my mind

Told myself I'm strong enough to shake it and I'm trying

But I'm only human, I know loving you's a crime

If I take this cookie now one day I'll do the time

Slip me a xanny at once (Somebody)

I got the earth in a blunt (Smoke)

I get the skirt when I want (Skrrt)

Due to the money aroma (Somebody)

My girl she got a diploma (Smoke)

She got wife written all over

All a nigga know is how to fuck a good thing up

Run from the pain, sip lean, smoke tree up

When I'm in your town press pound hit me up

Only if you down and you slurp good D up

If the work good I'll be back for the re-up

Hate when I creep and the phone wake me up

Fake like I'm sleep knowing damn well I be up

Monkey on my back and I walk a hundred miles

Guilt make a nigga feel fake when he smile

Love can confuse the mind of a child

'Cause love wouldn't lie like I lie and it's wild

Wanna have my cake and another cake too

Even if the baker don't bake like you

Even when the flavor don't taste like you

So I'm back mobbing with the late night crew

All in your mind with fears that would come true

The back of my mind, the back of my mind was you

Wishing that I could blind myself from view

And only have eyes, and only have eyes for you

Slip me a xanny at once (Somebody)

I got the earth in a blunt (Smoke)

I get the skirt when I want (Skrrt)

Due to the money aroma (Somebody)

My girl she got a diploma (Smoke)

She got wife written all over

I'm a fake nigga and it's never been clearer

Can't see myself when I look in the mirror

I'm a fake nigga and it's never been clearer

Can't see myself when I look in the mirror

She my number one I don't need nothing on the side

Said that I was done for good and don't want no more lies

But my phone be blowing up, temptations on my line

I stare at the screen a while before I press decline

But she plants the seed and it still lingers in my mind

Told myself I'm strong enough to shake it and I'm trying

But I'm only human, I know loving you's a crime

If I take this cookie now one day I'll do the time

I love her, I don't want to lose her

I'm selfish, I know that I use her

My ego get stroke and I bruise her

My actions I know they confusin'

At home I look happy as usual

On the road I'm a mack, I'm a chooser

I'm a addict, I'm maskin' that

Kevin's Heart

They tell me what's done in the dark will find a way to shine

I done did so much that when you see you might go blind

What's done in the dark will always find a way to shine

I done did so much that when you see you might go blind
