[English]

I been thinkin' 'bout you, haven't got much sleep

Worried that you already done replaced me

Worried I done it took far and you too hurt to hear me

Smokin' on a Backwood because I miss my ex

Now I'm ovulatin' and I need rough sex

Knowing you gon' block me tomorrow

Can you still come and get me?

Missin' my daddy when the nights get cold

Wishin' I didn't wanna sell my soul

Wishin' that it wasn't so hard, man, I'm on my knees

Get a rise out of watchin' you fall

Get a kick out of missin' your call

I hate me enough for the two of us

Hate that I can't let go of you enough, this why

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

I fuck him 'cause I really miss you

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

...

I just had to get my rocks off

You got no loyalty, you push me 'til I pop off

I beg for empathy, you gave me nothing

So hard without you (so hard without you)

I feel it coming, you gon' find another one

To keep you calm and tuck you in at night, I wonder

Will you call me, will you hang me out to dry?

Missin' my daddy when the nights get cold

Wishin' I didn't wanna sell my soul

Wishin' that it wasn't so hard, man, I'm on my knees

Get a rise out of watchin' you fall

Get a kick out of missin' your call

I hate me enough for the two of us

Hate that I can't let go of you enough, this why

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

I fuck him 'cause I really miss you

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

I'm lookin' for comfort

I knew all along

I knew that you loved her

Since we dropping bombs

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

I fuck him 'cause I really miss you

I fuck him to forget you

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

I fuck him 'cause I miss you

I try to run, but I can't duck 'em

Fuck 'em, but I don't cuff 'em

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

...

• Worried that you already done replaced me

  ➔ AAVE Grammar: "Done" as intensifier

  ➔ In African American Vernacular English (AAVE), "done" emphasizes completed action. Standard English: "you've already replaced me".

• Get a rise out of watchin' you fall

  ➔ Phrasal Verb + Gerund

  ➔ Phrasal verb "get a rise out of" (provoke reaction) followed by gerund "watching". Structure: verb phrase + preposition + "-ing" form.

• I hate me enough for the two of us

  ➔ Reflexive Pronoun for Emphasis

  ➔ Unconventional use of reflexive pronoun "me" instead of "myself" for emotional intensity. Standard: "I hate myself".
