Lyrics & Translation

[English]

One, two, three, four, five, yeah

'Bout to lose my mind

I'm for real this time (Time, time)

Yeah, I know too many times I've said the same thing before

And I know too many times I've said I'd walk out the door (Ooh yeah)

And I know way too many times I said I was sure

But I couldn't be more right

Said I couldn't be more, oh

It ain't fair how you got me

Goin' up and down on your rollercoaster

Really startin' to feel like it's over

Got no problem givin' cold shoulder

We could end it right here

Feel like I can't stay another night here

Finna blow my head with thе silence

Let mе step away, feelin' balance

One, two, three, four, five

Tension risin' high

'Bout to lose my mind

You done crossed the line for the last time

One, two, three, four, five

I'm for real this time (Yeah)

No, we can't rewind (Can't rewind)

Niggas love wastin' our time (Yeah)

Lately we've been wastin' time (Yeah)

This ain't how we used to vibe (Nah, nah)

Arguin', fussin' and fightin' (Yeah)

Up in the middle of the night (Yeah)

Tryna bring the good to the light (Right)

We ain't makin' love, I'm goin' crazy (Uh)

You're next to me but I'm feelin' lonely (Lonely)

I gotta find my way back to you (To you)

Oh, what I gotta do to fix your attitude, baby? (Attitude)

The problems we facin'

Should be small for you, they're small for me

Don't fuck this up (Don't)

Don't want you to leave (Nah)

Let's get it right (Right)

Just you and me (Come on)

I was frontin' on the low (Uh-huh)

Here come your exes and hoes (Your exes and hoes)

You got my mind in control (Control)

I need your body and soul, for life

One, two, three, four, five

Tension risin' high

'Bout to lose my mind

You done crossed the line for the last time

One, two, three, four, five (Four, five)

I'm for real this time (For real this time)

No, we can't rewind (Rewind)

Niggas love wastin' our time

Instrumental
