From Time

What's up?
 Been a minute since we kicked it, you've been caught up
 With them bitches, I don't get it, you're a star love
 You shouldn't have to deal with that
 I'd never make you feel like that
 'Cause
 I love me
 I love me enough for the both of us
 That's why you trust me
 I know you been through more than most of us
 
 So what are you?
 What are you, what are you so afraid of?
 ♪
 Darling you, you give but you cannot take love
 Yeah, I needed to hear that shit, I hate when you're submissive
 Passive-aggressive when we're texting, I feel the distance
 I look around the peers that surround me, these niggas tripping
 I like when money makes a difference but don't make you different
 Started realizing a couple places I could take it
 I wanna get back to when I was that kid in the basement
 I wanna take it deeper than money, pussy, vacation
 And influence a generation that's lacking in patience
 I've been dealing with my dad, speaking of lack of patience
 Just me and my old man getting back to basics
 We've been talking 'bout the future and time that we wasted
 When he put that bottle down, girl that nigga's amazing
 Well, fuck it, we had a couple Coronas
 We might have rolled a white paper, just something to hold us
 We even talked about you and our couple of moments
 He said we should hash it out like a couple of grown-ups
 You a flower child, beautiful child, I'm in your zone
 Looking like you came from the 70's on your own
 My mother is 66 and her favorite line to hit me with is
 Who the fuck wants to be 70 and alone?
 You don't even know what you want from love anymore
 I search for something I'm missing and disappear when I'm bored
 But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?
 Who you settling for? Who better for you than the boy, huh?
 I love me
 I love me enough for the both of us
 That's why you trust me
 I know you been through more than most of us
 So what are you?
 What are you, what are you so afraid of?

 Darling you, you give but you cannot take love
 Uh, thinking 'bout Texas, back when Porscha used to work at Treasures
 Or further back than that, before I had the Houston leverage
 When I got Summer a Michael Kors with my momma's debit
 A weak attempt at flexing, I'll never forget it
 'Cause that night I played her three songs
 Then we got to talking 'bout something we disagreed on
 Then she start telling me how I'll never be as big as Trey Songz
 Boy was she wrong? That was just negative energy for me to feed off
 Now it's therapeutic blowing money in the Galleria
 Or Beverly Center Macy's where I discovered Bria
 Landmarks of the muses that inspired the music
 When I could tell it was sincere without tryna prove it
 The one that I needed was Courtney from Hooters on Peachtree
 I've always been feeling like she was the piece to complete me
 Now she engaged to be married, what's the rush on commitment?
 Know we were going through some shit, name a couple that isn't
 Remember our talk in the parking lot at the Ritz
 Girl I felt like we had it all planned out, I guess I fucked up the vision
 Learning the true consequences of my selfish decisions
 When you find out how I'm living, I just hope I'm forgiven
 It seem like you don't want this love anymore
 I'm acting out in the open, it's hard for you to ignore
 But girl, what qualities was I looking for before?
 Who you settling for? Who better for you than the boy, huh?
 I love me
 I love me enough for the both of us
 That's why you trust me
 I know you been through more than most of us
