What We Could've Been

Ay
She rocking checkerboard pants but I'm playing chess
I started smoking bleezies to keep my head away from the stress
Told me when my damsel's distressed
This shit turns to a mess
Shit I'm always gonna see and regret
This shit hard to forget
I spoke to God and asked our memories to pipe down
Centre of attention, you steering clear of all the lights now
Shit that makes me wonder like what changed
Or maybe I wasn't influential enough
Maybe your next man going to have to deal with all your ex stuff
Used to text me X's and O's, no tic tac toe
Bro keep that drake by his side like he rep OVO
I know
You a lot to handle but I handled it best
I could've handled it better but hindsight sees the rest
My pain would soak through your skin and enter into your chest
Like I know you ain't been through it, but you still feel it the best, yes
Sometimes I think about what we could've been
But you didn't wanna go that route, so I'm steering alone again
Learned it's better just to stay on my ones
Learned it's better just to hug on my gun
Learned it's better just to trust on no one, love on no one, trust on no
Learned it's better just to stay on my ones
Learned it's better just to hug on my gun
Learned it's better just to trust on no one, love on no one, trust on no
The mailbox is full and cannot accept any messages at this time, goodbye
Yeah
It's a lot of shit I never got to say
I ain't never really seen it going this way
I guess all good things go bad
Otherwise you don't know the good that you have
I've been tryna find some peace in that
Oh baby
I've been tryna find my heart baby
Think I lost it after dark my baby
Trials and tribulations in the truest sense
My partnerships oozing money, this shit getting real lucrative
The shit we used to call a relationship I won't do again
I'm learning a lot from all the shit that used to do me in
I'm used to getting hate cuz I'm the truth, providing honesty
And the last thing I want from all them bitches is an apology
I'm rolling the dice, purchasing shit just like Monopoly
I never got how I got more haters than fans to follow me, aye
Never showing hate cuz I'm in tune with it
It's not about if you got dollars, it's what you do with it
I got power in my city cuz I move just like a ghost
We weren't supposed to be here so let's enjoy it, raise a toast
And for my family best believe I'll do the most
I've been dripping so hard it seems like the floor been getting soaked
For some this might be some of the realest shit I ever wrote
Never thought it'd be like this but I'm not losing out no hope, yeah
Sometimes I think about what we could've been
But you didn't wanna go that route, so I'm steering alone again
Learned it's better just to stay on my ones
Learned it's better just to hug on my gun
Learned it's better just to trust on no one, love on no one, trust on no
Learned it's better just to stay on my ones
Learned it's better just to hug on my gun
Learned it's better just to trust on no one, love on no one, trust on no
