I Been

(album: Shea Butter Baby - 2019)

I've been smoking purple haze, ooo, to forget about you
I've been smoking purple haze, ooo, to forget about you

And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, I try
But I'm having the worst luck on Tinder
Ooh, why'd you have to be a big pretender
I try, and I try, and I try, I try, I try
To give you something good, cause I know you would
Give it to me, too

I've been smoking purple haze, ooo, to forget about you
I've been smoking purple haze, ooo, to forget about you

But you lie, and you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie
It's the forty-seventh time that I've changed my number
Should call you Mannie Fresh cause you's the number one stunta
You lie, and you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie
I gave you something good, cause I know you would
Give it to me, too

Cause that just fucks up your whole mind
You could develop whole disorders like that
Whole disorders

"Is your name Courtney? Did you go to Poplar Tree, in the first, second, and third grade? And you had like a lightskin sister?
And you, um, you had a crush on me?"
I was like, "yeah, that sounds like me"
But my thing is, like, nigga, like you feeling yourself
You're feeling yourself a little too hard, talkin bout "you had a crush on me"
Nigga, yes, at like, fucking seven
Relax, relax
