[English]

Adjust to pain

It hurt too bad to say, to say you left me, left me

Fuckin' with the wrong man

(Left me) Said she fuckin' with the wrong man

Ever since she left me

I guess you fell into the wrong hands, yeah

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And now you're F-in' with the wrong man, man

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

You took some time away from me (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Back when you used to be's with that Crip

Gotta give a little to get

A little bit in return now, tables turn now

And you heard 'bout me and my bitch

I'm just tryna chill

'Cause lately I've been thinking 'bout you and rebuilding

Walking 'round like you lost feelings

I can tell he not fulfilling

You in love with me still

They say only if looks could kill, for real

You walk around town with that guy

When you pass by (Ah-ah)

I just laugh like (Ah-ah)

I guess you fell into the wrong hands, yeah
