Yeah
Never had a lot, but I made a lot
They told a story, I changed the plot
Now I'm savin' up for that plane or yacht
Them extra channels, that cable box, yeah
I'm faithful to that cable box
That money good, but that pain is not
They said, "Damn, you changed a lot"
But they don't know my bitch's name
Said they don't know my bitch's name
And I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe, whoa, whoa
Said they don't know my bitch's name
Said they don't know my bitch's name, no, no
And I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe, whoa, whoa
What's your life like?
She'll come back for the right price
Might blind you with them bright lights
No one wanna be Christ-like
Shit too hard, still wanna figure out who you are
The drugs in my system, they worried I took it too far
But, but-but I built this, mo-motherfucker, I built this
And, and along the way I never made a kill switch
'Cause, 'cause I won't stop 'til my heart give
And stop tickin' like a old clock
They knock, knock, knock, knock, my door lock
It won't open up for no one
My head up, I keep goin'
They thinkin' I should slow up
Explode, I been shakin' up the soda
Hol' up, this mine, don't touch
They see my white skin, eyes lit up, they sayin', "Gold rush"
I'm still eatin' breakfast, some Cocoa Puffs
I can't sleep, my eyes just won't shut
My mom thinks I'm doin' too much
She say, "Slow down, don't rush"
Never had a lot, but I made a lot
They told a story, I changed the plot
Now I'm savin' up for that plane or yacht
Them extra channels, that cable box, yeah
I'm faithful to that cable box
That money good, but that pain is not
They said, "Damn, you changed a lot"
But they don't know my bitch's name
Said they don't know my bitch's name
And I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe, whoa, whoa
Said they don't know my bitch's name
Said they don't know my bitch's name, no, no
And I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe, whoa, whoa
I'm wakin' up from this coma
Called her on the mobile phone
Askin' her if she's goin' home
Or she's still sleepin' over
I mighta lost my fragile soul
I could probably use a loaner
No emotion, playin' poker
Once I moved to California
She lost a lot of that trust in me
Can't say she don't get a rush when she fuckin' me
Subsequently, I'm prayin' to a angel
Where did all the pain go?
So unstable, the cocaine is on the table
Girl, let's take off, let's get out of here
Goin', goin', a different atmosphere awaits us
I tend to talk a lot, and you don't say much
But everything I say just ain't enough, no
Say I need to let that love show
You knock me down so fast, I'm gettin' up slow
Yeah, everything ain't perfect
Standin' there on judgment day like, "Was it all worth it?" Uh
Never had a lot, but I made a lot
They told a story, I changed the plot
Now I'm savin' up for that plane or yacht
Them extra channels, that cable box, yeah
I'm faithful to that cable box
That money good, but that pain is not
They said, "Damn, you changed a lot"
But they don't know my bitch's name
Said they don't know my bitch's name
And I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe, whoa, whoa
Said they don't know my bitch's name
Said they don't know my bitch's name, no, no
And I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe
I don't mean to hurt your feelings, babe, whoa, whoa
