I'm reading poems while I'm staring at you
Remember being young and dumb
Telling you to lie if my parents call yo' phone and ask you
Where I'm at, where I've been
Cause, remember, you was much older than
My mama didn't like it, but to my daddy, his son became a man
That means a lot, he caught us in the bowling parking lot
Just thankful he didn't talk about it, we didn't care if it was dark or not
So young and dumb, legally grown but still babies
Old enough to have my baby and old enough to know we not ready
But still young enough to wonder "What if?"
What if you didn't take the pill?
What if you had my kid for real?
What if we brought a life into this world?
What if she was a baby girl?
What if we still talked?
Saying shit when I'm drunk, saying shit when I'm faded
I'm trippin' man, just
You know me, you know
I be saying shit outta anger, saying shit when I'm drunk
Saying shit when I'm faded, at least you know what I'm on
I be saying shit outta anger, saying shit when I'm drunk
Saying shit when I'm faded at least you know what I'm on
But that's the only time I'm telling the truth
That's the only time telling the truth, when I'm telling the truth
That's when I'm telling the truth
That's when I'm telling the truth, when I'm telling the truth
So I wasn't lying when I told you that I love you
But, baby, listen, I don't really know what love is
Don't take it personal when I say I don't trust you
I really just can't trust myself, I know what I did
She a Taurus and she bull-headed
Can't leave the room for two seconds
She always going through her message, send, deleting texts
But she my secret weapon, most girls get an E for effort
For her I cross my T's and dot my I's and I'm not good at spelling
But I'm Akeelah and the Bee if it mean she be with me
And if I'm seeing what you seeing, then I see you seeing me
In a dark room through a long hall, see a car pull and to yo' surprise it's me
Telling you to get your shit and leave
And I was drinking when I said that, so you know I meant it
I really wish I didn't, but when this liquor kick in, I be straight
Another day, another drank and you know it
That's why you see me pouring
I be saying shit outta anger, saying shit when I'm drunk
Saying shit when I'm faded, at least you know what I'm on
I be saying shit outta anger, saying shit when I'm drunk
Saying shit when I'm faded, at least you know what I'm on
But that's the only time I'm telling the truth
That's the only time telling the truth, when I'm telling the truth
That's when I'm telling the truth
That's when I'm telling the truth, when I'm telling the truth
So I wasn't lying when I told you that I love you
But, baby, listen I don't really know what love is
Don't take it personal when I say I don't trust you
I really just can't trust myself, I know what I did
