[English]

Dear God, it's me again

I wanna come on and say, first of all, thanking You for all Your blessings

And Your love and Your favor You've shown upon me

But Father, speakin' of favors, I need another favor from You

And I know I've come to You many times about this

And I don't even like holdin' up the prayer line about things like this

But I need Your help and Your guidance

on how to leave this man alone.

(Oh, Lord)

I'm tired of comin' to You for the same thing (nah, for real)

I'm tired of all these niggas playin' the same game (I'm so tired)

Is it me, Lord? What do I need to change, man? (What's the problem?)

Or is it my taste in men that I need to blame? (Let me know)

Now I'm in my car speedin' down the E-Way cryin'

Prayin' to the Lord to get this nigga off my mind (God, please)

I should've learned my lesson from the first time

Man, I wish I would've listened to my first mind (on the gang)

I'm so in love, but deep inside I wanna get over, dude (I swear)

He's good and bad go fifty-fifty, what I'm 'posed to do? (What to do?)

I get to thinkin' if it was me, what would that nigga do? (Hm)

That shit he did wasn't no mistake, that's what he chose to do (he did that)

It hurt to stick around but, lettin' go seem even harder (even harder)

Try not to overthink it got me thinkin' even harder (ayy)

Got me feelin' like a dummy when I know I'm smarter (when I know that)

The only man that showed me love correctly was my father (facts)

Constantly in this situation over and over again

Promise, if You get me out this time, I'll never do it again (I promise, God)

Love is a beautiful thing if it's done right

But it should never make you feel like that you bein' dumb, right? (Oh, Lord)

This a moment to be serious, I ain't even playin' (nah)

Hit my knees and ask the Lord to help me leave this man (God, please)

I'm too damaged, love you so much, might embarrass you

So now I'm fallin' out of love, feel like I need a parachute (ayy)

God is great, yeah, God is good

Lord, I thank You for this man, but can You come back and get him?

'Cause this ain't even part of the plan

Do whatever in my will to leave him 'lone, but I can't

Try to stay cool, but the smallest shit he do'll make me blank

I'm so gone, I'm so gone, I'm talkin' far away (far away)

But I'll be back, I'm prayin' to God, so He can make a way (God, please)

I get that route, I'm doin' a dash, it's deeper than a race (skrrt, skrrt)

'Cause love scary, I'll pass, and I ain't tryna stay

Might throw in the white flag, might just hit my knees

Father God, pull me up, I'm in too deep, this man, he got me gone

'Cause this somethin' I ain't never had (never)

I'm too damaged to be in love

It ain't nothin' to fall in love, but I can't afford another heart break (I really can't)

He make me mad, but it's somethin' 'bout how he manipulate

Ask myself if this what I want and I'on have nothin' to say (nothin')

Can't stand on business, I keep fallin' like Alicia Keys

I want this man so bad, but I know he ain't what I need (on the gang)

Oh, Lord (I'm tired of comin' to You for the same thing)

(I'm tired of all these niggas playin' the same game)

(Is it me, Lord? What do I need to change, man?)

(Or is it my taste in men that I need to blame?) Oh, Lord

(Now I'm in my car speedin' down the E-Way cryin')

(Prayin' to the Lord to get this nigga off my mind)

(I should've learned my lesson from the first time)

(Man, I wish I would've listened to my first mind) oh, Lord
