How you livin'? (Real shit)
I heard you got more room, no roofs, no ceilings (ooh, shit)
You needed space to grow, now you have no limits
And I don't even think I been the same since you went missin'
I changed for love like Diddy, yeah
'Cause I know you ain't had to take that, take that
(You ain't had to take, yeah)
And I was thinkin' "Maybe if I give you time
Maybe time could erase that"
Fast up, but even took that love
And now I'm here problem-solvin' until this shit add up (shit)
'Cause I been through a lot this year (through a lot)
You been through a lot this year (through a lot)
When it come to the fights this year (to the fights)
Who really paid the price this year? (Paid the price)
I keep tryna fight these fears (fight these)
Light sleep, I don't quite get healed (quite get)
I had to be right in here (had to be)
I had to be right here, yeah
You live in my mind rent free
I admit it was my pride that let you leave
I done filled up all my time just to feel empty (empty)
How you don't pay me no mind and then still be (and still be)
In my rent free?
These days I be real cautious, heart of an artist (yeah)
All of my words hit you the hardest (hardest)
Now we gettin' frozen instead of farther (farther)
Backseat, baby is callin', I had to park it (had to park)
I think it's hell you taking all this (taking all this)
Ooh, don't you go, makin' it harder
'Cause I been through a lot this year (through a lot)
You been through a lot this year (through a lot)
When it come to the fights this year (to the fights)
Who really paid the price this year? (Who really paid the price?)
I keep tryna fight these fears (fight these tears)
Light sleep, I don't quite get healed (quite get)
I had to be right in here (had to be)
I had to be right here, yeah
You live in my mind rent free (mind, mind, mind, mind)
I admit it was my pride that let you leave (pride, pride, pride, pride)
I done filled up all my time just to feel empty
How you don't pay me no mind and then still be (and still be)
In my rent free?
Can we go back to like it was?
Had to warm it up, cranked it, yeah, we started it up
I done did too much work
Ain't hit hardly enough, but I can't call it quits
I'm in the cut with a bag of tricks like it was luck
Got the pride in it like it was tucked
Put the love on ice, it wasn't perfect
You been through a lot this year
And I been through a lot this year
Had to pay the price this year
No more flights this year
And the issue 'cause I miss you
When I'm on the way to wipe your tears
All the wrongs and the rights this year
Got me lookin' at my life this year
Like I really gotta make things clear
Not just tell you all the shit you wanna hear
Reassure you, you ain't never gotta fear bein' with a real n-, yeah
You done filled up all my time, yeah
(Rent free)
(Said you still be)
