Somewhere between psychotic and iconic 00:14
Somewhere between I want it and I got it 00:18
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted 00:21
Somewhere between a mistress and commitment 00:25
But I stay down, girl, I always stay down 00:27
Get down, never lay down 00:30
Promise to break everybody off before I break down 00:32
Everyone just wait now 00:35
So much on my plate now 00:37
People I believed in, they don't even show their face now 00:39
What they got to say now? 00:42
Nothing they can say now 00:44
Nothing really changed, but still they look at me a way now 00:46
What more can I say now? 00:49
What more can I say now? 00:51
You might feel like nothing was the same 00:53

Mobbing on the low 00:57
Fucking on the low 00:59
Smoking on the low 01:01
I still been plotting on the low 01:02

Just too busy running shit to run home to you 01:28
You know that paper my passion 01:32
Bittersweet celebrations, I know I can't change what happened 01:34
I can't help it, I can't help it 01:37
I was young and I was selfish 01:39
I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's 01:41
Now you hate me, stop pretending 01:44
Stop that fronting, I can't take it 01:46
Girl, don't treat me like a stranger 01:48
Girl, you know I seen ya naked 01:49
Girl, you know that I remember, don't be a pretender 01:51
Getting high at the condo, that's when it all comes together 01:55
You know I stay reminiscing and make-up sex is tradition 01:58

The actions make us doubt you 03:21
Your lack of effort got me rapping different 03:24

Naked women swimming that's just how I'm living 03:33

[English]
Somewhere between psychotic and iconic
Somewhere between I want it and I got it
Somewhere between I'm sober and I'm lifted
Somewhere between a mistress and commitment
But I stay down, girl, I always stay down
Get down, never lay down
Promise to break everybody off before I break down
Everyone just wait now
So much on my plate now
People I believed in, they don't even show their face now
What they got to say now?
Nothing they can say now
Nothing really changed, but still they look at me a way now
What more can I say now?
What more can I say now?
You might feel like nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect like everyone I know
I just been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I just been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect, like everyone I know
And I hate that you don't think that I belong to ya
Just too busy running shit to run home to you
You know that paper my passion
Bittersweet celebrations, I know I can't change what happened
I can't help it, I can't help it
I was young and I was selfish
I made every woman feel like she was mine and no one else's
Now you hate me, stop pretending
Stop that fronting, I can't take it

Girl, you know that I remember, don't be a pretender
Getting high at the condo, that's when it all comes together
You know I stay reminiscing and make-up sex is tradition
But you've been missing girl, and you might feel like nothing was the same
I still been drinking on the low
Mobbing on the low
Fucking on the low
Smoking on the low
I still been plotting on the low
Scheming on the low
The furthest thing from perfect, like everyone I know
I just been drinking on the low
