Aye Don't ask me about my love life (Hol' up!) It's complicated to find a lady in my generation That's not preoccupied with social clout We almost phasing out from the high we get from love And conversation to go on IG galavanting for likes and shit Oh, it's complicated I'm tryna say I need loyalty like Clyde Barrow was tryna get When Bonnie was shot up riding shotgun with him My problems are these But, I gotta admit I got someone who loves me so effortless But, I'm so messed up from another chick I feel like such a bitch ass nigga That my exes got the power With no effort to decline the next shawty I get So, I'm guarded and shit But, never mind that cause you're a goddess and shit What I'm tryna say is I like you but it's complicated Foundation on all my pillows Still your tender face is flawless when the sky kiss you Should I bury you in compliments or buy gifts or Just let you tell me bye and for that time I'll miss you My life is fairly complicated You show too much of your heart I promise they confiscate it I am young, black, and accomplished baby but I'm not the type to bring home to mama I'm just crazy cause I'm broad crazy Monogamy's kind of hard for me When I start throwing them curves that's when they caught feelings I got famous at a young age I'm spoiled I get paid, don't go out so the club scene I'm bored of I don't believe in unicorns nor pure love But more so the latter, seen Porzingis from courtside I got missed calls from porn stars and church girls You'd be surprised who get the wildest and squirt more Let's be honest shawty I got bitches you got niggas don't be modest shawty Don't care about your IG pictures I don't follow anyway 'Cause, if I really like you I don't like your pictures, dig it I believe that love is complicated at best And at it's worst it's a permanent burning in your chest I pray to earn that from somebody someday But, somehow someway I no longer have a heart to invest It's miles away The smiles is fake and my job ain't real Why would you think I'll find a woman who is I'm high today Tomorrow I'm chill cause my job get real What mature woman would put up with my shit I mean I'm damaged goods I mean, I'm rather good at being just kind of good to women Who deserve more from me But, I see you as something more than a purring kitty You hate my state of mind, somehow you think the world of me It's complicated It's complicated It's complicated It's complicated Just be honest shawty I got bitches you got niggas don't be modest shawty Don't care about your IG pictures I don't follow anyway 'Cause if I really like you I won't... fuck it Block all them bitches, cause it's complicated
