Then told her buckle up, yea thats for safety See she been stressin cuz this nigga she done been with for the past 2 years Is now the current reason for her few tears She text, he dont text When she see him she be tryina sex, he sex back Its to be on jet black She call, he dont call All he say is fall Nigga need his space, so she headed to his place Cuz she just got a call from her girl windin Who say he be creepin, he been fuckin with Yolanda? Yea girl, Told you he shit but you aint listen, I was tryna (click) Hmm, hung up that and hop right up in that Honda to his crib, she said she fed up with this shit Thought this time was the one Thought I got better at this Picking out Mr. Right, sticking out through the And long nights for what?

When all your models either rappin or they hoop, damn
