Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lil Baby]
Love is what you make it
I’ll give you my heart if you promise that you won’t break it
Imma keep it real with everyone, it ain’t no fakin’
I was trying to give it to you, you was trying to take it
And you cannot run from reality, gotta face it
I been trying to do everything for you to just make it
Don’t care what people say, especially when they talk crazy
Don’t play with me, I’m baby

[Chorus: Monica]
I’m watching in plain view, you caught up entangled
In a web of the world, I wish I could save you
Deep down you’re an angel, but street life, it trained you
Now listen to your girl
Don’t let the game keep playin’ you

[Verse 2: Monica]
Take a breather nice and slow
I know it feel like they got they eyes on the stow
Why you balance on a tightrope?
Tryna get the crib, you and I can go to
Come and smell the roses (Roses)
You can have it all if you focus
House, feelings flowing lovely but first thing you gotta trust me (Yeah)
But first thing, you gotta trust me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Monica]
Baby, when the hype get cold
Superficial people in your life get ghost
Same ones say “I hit you right back bro”
Told you there wasn’t on the right tracks, so
But I kinda like that though
Ain’t no distraction, get your sight back yo
I think you wanna fight back so
Let me shut up, I’m talking in circles

[Chorus: Monica]
I’m watching in plain view, you caught up entangled
In a web of the world, I wish I could save you
Deep down you’re an angel, but street life, it trained you
Now listen to your girl
Don’t let the game keep playin’ you

[Post-Chorus: Monica]
(Gang gang gang) Oh-oh-oh
(Gang gang gang) Oh-oh-oh
(Gang gang gang)

[Verse 3: Monica]
Something I adopted
If they won’t buss an eighth, then they flip like an omelet (Flip)
Environment toxic
I can’t breathe, haters make me nauseous, ew
Get that Gucci office
Get a couple outfits, bags, and the boxes (Yuh)
Find him in the commons, while we shine like diamonds, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Monica]
Baby, when the hype get cold
Superficial people in your life get ghost
Same one say “I hit you right back bro”
Told you there wasn’t on the right tracks, so
But I kinda like that though
Ain’t no distractions, get your sight back yo
I think you wanna fight back so
Let me shut up I’m talking in circles

[Chorus: Monica]
I’m watching in plain view, you caught up entangled
In a web of the world, I wish I could save you
Deep down you’re an angel, but street life, it trained you
Now listen to your girl
Don’t let the game keep playin’ you

[Post-Chorus: Monica]
(Gang gang gang) Oh-oh-oh
(Gang gang gang) Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 4: Lil Baby & Monica]
Mama told you not to go down that road
Brother told me not to tell on your bros
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Sister told me never trust these hoes
And these niggas just as bad, I’ll never trust a soul
I heard you been playin’ with your nose
You know that type of shit against the code
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You know you was supposed to be strong
You know glitter ain’t gold, what the fuck is going on?
Lil D’ and ’em tryna get back they life, they coming home
The lawyer gotta keep a buck and still be wrong
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
They came and got you fired from the pent from off his phone
And it’s crazy cause this time he ain’t even do nothin wrong
Talking chills!
Ever since he answered the appeal, fuck a deal
I go down in history being real
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Never squeal, never played the victim and I probably never will
I just wish that you was here
