Uh
Yeyuh
Yeyuh
Top Self
Here we go again, uh
Yeah
Don't waste my time
I'm not that guy

And I'm not blind
You don't wanna be mine
Don't waste my time
You just blew my high
Don't want no more lies
You don't wanna be mine
I knew a shawty I was hoping I could take her out
Take her to the movies maybe later I can eat it out
I bought her some chocolates
I bought her an outfit
I'm taking her out to dinner not knowing she ain't the legit, uh
She sitting next to me
Looking all good and sh*t
Hit her with the yawn trick
And she wasn't having it
When we ate at dinner try to talk and she laughed a bit
I reached in for a hand she said boy 'you better quit'
Now I'm thinking in my head 'here 'we go again'
And then she told me don't you know we only 'best friends'
Damn, we been kicking it for a while
Talking about you in love with the way that I make you smile
I been busting by ass for you
Now you making me want to frown
I hate when my times wasted
That sh*t be driving me wild (Uh, yeah)
And you just blew my high
Said girl I'm done with this sh*t
I don't want no more lies, peace
Don't waste my time
I'm not that guy
And I'm not blind
You don't wanna be mine, no
Don't waste my time
You just blew my high
Don't want no more lies
You don't wanna be mine
No, no
Yeah
You wanna be mines
Here go the blue print
You wasting my time
You go be useless
I'm breaking my back
Showing my trueness
And I'm taking it back
(Aye I'm taking it back)
Feel like Mary J. Blige
Having breakthroughs
Don't hate you, but I do no want to forsake you
I'm grateful for this experience not hateful
Cause I got too man reasons baby not to hate you
I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Problems that I'm dealing with
I'm thinking I can heal and sh*t
In this woman's hair, it smell good like some peppermint
f*cked on the first date I should have known it wasn't heaven scent
But I'm given benefit, of the doubt
No rookie so the cookie on my mind, but I think it out
Took her date, couldn't relate, but we can work it out
She all up in her phone
My conversation trying to pull her out
Pull out game weak
But she so sexy
Been at it hella weeks
But she won't let me
I'm pair bonded, only do good with one woman
But if I caught the vibe right
I don't think that she want it
Oh well, damn, huh
So I'm loving, and she fronting
Giving energy for nothing
She only here to loved
But she here for the f*cking
Maybe she like the way I rhyme
So like the money that I lost from this date
Don't waste my time
I'm not that guy
And I'm not blind
You don't wanna be mine, no
Don't waste my time
You just blew my high
Don't want no more lies
You don't wanna be mine
No, no
Don't waste my time
I'm not that guy
And I'm not blind
You don't wanna be mine, no
Don't waste my time
You just blew my high
Don't want no more lies
You don't wanna be mine
No
Don't waste my time
I'm not that guy
And I'm not blind
You don't wanna be mine, no
Don't waste my time
You just blew my high
Don't want no more lies
You don't wanna be mine
No, no
Yeah
Gotta change the narrative of the things we like to outlet ourselves from
Music, art, these things are outlets and
We need to use them as positive outlets
Instead of you on ow like negative outlets
Which is a lot of what we do in our culture
We use a lot of these art and health things and
We use em in A counterintuitive ways
Let's flip the paradigm, flip the narrative
So now we get to make music about things like this and feel good about it
Instead of it feeling like a cliche
Or like something that ain't supposed to happen, but happened

This is supposed to happen
So it's happening
