At what cost do I choose myself and put on my armor?
When your loyalty don't serve you or what you need
At what cost do I lose myself to find you?
And where the moral compass lies?
'Cause I fear you, just livin' you
Don't feel alive, do you?
But I guess it's not brand new
To act brand new
I just think that's not you
Somebody told me that we broke up
Now you on a flight gettin' paid in a zoo
But it's cool, get your belt around
I do this shit regrettably
You do it for the love of the game or to see others
Think that you ain't fell off
And I love the way we gel but I ain't jello
Hell nah, I ain't, look
I don't wanna see you here but you can care less
The spark that we once had, now set to your section
The city's on fire, burn it, you're out
The city's on fire, I might be the casualty
The city's on fire, burn it, you're out
The city's on fire, I might be the casualty
Yeah, wahala
Why I say that word is your second name?
Why your friends then know nothin' when no word came?
Why it's homegirl birthday like her eighth? Hm
Wahala, I make moves in the places I don't like to stay
How you got me out the game and now you tryna play?
Straight shots to the face but you tryna chase
That be wahala
The niggas you was sayin' you laughin' at all they hard-outs
The same ones laughin' at me buyin' you bottles
The quote-unquote brothers you had tryna be partners
That be wahala
But fuck that shit, we both can be unbothered
You standin' on the couch in heels, I'm watchin' Martin
So every time I hear, what's up? I got a ha-ha
The city's on fire, burn it, you're out
The city's on fire, I might be the casualty
The city's on fire, burn it, you're out
The city's on fire, I might be the casualty
The city's on fire, burn it, you're out
The city's on fire, I might be the casualty
The city's on fire, burn it, you're out
