Fair Trade

(albüm: Certified Lover Boy - 2021)

I don't understand why you blame me
Take me as I am, it's the same me
We should be (Yeah) senseless sight to see
(Yeah) We'll be senseless sight to see
(Ayy)

Feeling young but they treat me like the OG
And they want the tea on me, I swear these bitches nosey
Said he put some money on my head, I guess we gon' see
I won't put no money on his head, my niggas owe me
I gotta be single for a while, you can't control me
Uno, dos, tres, in a race, they can't hold me
And I show my face in a case so you know it's me
Imitation isn't flattery, it's just annoying me
And I'm too about it
And the dirt that they threw on my name
Turned to soil and I grew up out it
Time for y'all to figure out what y'all gon' do about it
Big wheels keep rolling, rolling

I'm outside, twenty-nine, G5, seaside
I've been losing friends and finding peace
But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever hurt one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside
I've been losing friends and finding peace
Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

Look, don't invite me over if you throw another pity party
Looking back, it's hard to tell you where I started
I don't know who love me, but I know that it ain't everybody
I can never love her, she a busy body
Baby, if you want me, can't be turning up with everybody, nah
Can't be fucking on just anybody, yeah
I got feelings for you, that's the thing about it, yeah
You know that it's something when I sing about it, yeah
Mama used to be on disability but gave me this ability
And now she walking with her head high and her back straight
I don't think you feeling me, I'm out here
Being everything they said I wouldn't be and couldn't be
I don't know what happened to them guys that said they would be
I said see you at the top and they misunderstood me
I hold no resentment in my heart, that's that maturity
And we don't keep it on us anymore, it's with security

I'm outside (Yeah), twenty-nine (Yeah), G5, seaside
I've been losing friends and finding peace
But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever hurt one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside (Southside)
I've been losing friends and finding peace
Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

I don't understand why you blame me
Take me as I am, it's the same me (Frontline)
We should be senseless sight to see
We'll be senseless sight to see (Outside)

Rolling 84s, it ain't no safety
Riding rich and wavy
Gotta roll over to you, gotta get my release
Spread your legs downtown, as I'm going out to eat
Even hear the raw sounds when that raw got me in sleep (Oh, oh)
I'ma roll on 'em 'fore I ever let 'em roll on me
Split this one down the middle, wake up in the harmony (Sick)
Worry, sick, I'm sick of worrying (Sick, sick)
It's just the world we in, I'd rather bury them
I'm talking fake friends and skeletons (Yeah)
Early-morning shoulder rubs, the lawyer sounding celebrant (It's lit)
I'm never settling, this shit get darker than my melanin (Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
At the crib all by myself, this shit be caving in
Scrolling through my call log, by emojis, how I'm saving 'em
Them heart eyes, that peach one, my old ones, but I favorite them
That butterfly emoji hold me down and all my babies them (Yeah)
Purple demon face one push away, he got the K on him
I broke bread instead of watching niggas break down (Break it)
And saved a couple bitches too like I'm from Cape Town
Know their position, you know ass up with the face down (Let's go)
I'm never content, two mil' a event, I get it frequent
I'm make an expense, to me, it's just cents
I'm dropping the top, not to feel the wind
I'm dropping the top 'cause bro tryna spin
She dropping her top, she back again
Publicly she at the crib again, company (Yeah, yeah)
I let it slide when I really shoulda slid (Oooh, ooh)
After all the shit I did
Look at how they repaying me back (Oh, oh-oh, oh)
Now follow my lead
Tell me what type of payment is that? (Oh, oh-oh), I put that on my kid
And my trust, yeah, it is what it is (Oh, oh)

I'm outside (Ah-ah, ah-ah), twenty-nine, G5 (Ah-ah, ah-ah), seaside
I've been losing friends and finding peace (Ah-ah, ah)
But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me
If I ever hurt one and I'm still here
Outside, frontline, Southside (Southside)
I've been losing friends and finding peace (Oh, oh)
Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

I don't understand why you blame me
Take me as I am, it's the same me
We should be, senseless sight to see
We'll be senseless sight to see

Up on a mountain (Up on a mountain)
Search through the valley (Search through the valley)
You hear me calling (You hear me calling)
Won't you come find me? (Won't you come find me?)
Please don't forsake me (Please don't go)
All of a sudden (All of a sudden)
My heart is breaking (Mmm-mmm)
I feel it coming, I, I
