[English]

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

Chill I'm getting' mine like fine wine measured in time

Many other brothers loved you but this pleasure is mine

There's no pressure for us to say that I love you for now

So fuck that comfort shit I just want us be comfortable now

For real

Who you lovin' who you wanna pull up with

Who don't care who you datin long as you care who you trustin

Tryin' to hear all your problems so I can lighten the load

No you not fightin alone 'cause I'm protectin you from it

So chill

Life hard an ex lovers is like scars

'Cause it stop hurtin' but never forgettin' what is was

I was a youngin my biggest enemy was the club

Voicemails on third rings fuckin me up I want trust

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

Based on your point of view I'm goin to stay the same

Yeah I pull up on you then put in with patience

I'm good where we got it without no expectations

What good is a title when shorty bend away, yeah

Let me illustrate ya

Let my tongue repaint ya

It's already waxed

Have you had a brain storm?

Everywhere a nigga take you

Just know that my face good

My have to fight your energy

So you're banking your skin glow

Max fill let if fly I'll be up in there a lot

Just to show you I don't care go where to tear that nigga off

We don't share our whereabouts so the guys in da hood look

It's supreme confidence if we good that's still enough

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

How about that love I'm tired of making up and

Fallin' off

Wanna be that nigga you callin' up

That pick your body up when you're down and out

Let's chill

How 'bout that I'm tired of makin' up and fallin' off

Wanna be that nigga you callin' up

That pick your body up when you're down and out

Let's chill

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills too

We've been on a tragedy for months

Why can't you agree with me for once

Maybe we can be on chill tonight

Maybe I can give you chills

Just be there
