I'm on some new shit

Switch up the vibe

Forward I'm moving

Don't waste my time

I don't stand in no lines

You so stuck in yo' mind

When you gon' get it together?

...

You on some hood shit

And yeah, that's cool, I don't care

Up and you're down, I'm still here

I put aside how I feel 'cause I love you

And I'm understanding

And I know that the life we both living is hard to manage

...

But if yo' ex think she can call yo' phone

You better tell her you love me

Put no one above me

Say my name, say my name

Ain't finna play no games

It's time to make it plain

Boy, don't be acting strange

...

'Cause when I love, I love hard

And when I give, I give all, yeah

In yo' eyes, I see stars

I feel safe in your arms

Want my trust, just work hard, yeah

And if she ever wanna talk, tell her you love me

And ain't no other girl above me

Yeah, that's petty, but you can't afford a loss

Crazy with my thoughts, lines to never cross

Tell her, tell her, tell her

Tell her you love me

...

Awkward

I just don't wanna end up hurt

But we gotta have these conversations before this shit get worse

I'm not finna play, she in the way

You better lay it down

There's nothing to talk about

...

But if yo' ex think she can call yo' phone

You better tell her you love me

Put no one above me

Say my name, say my name

Boy, I am not a game

It's time to make it plain

Just don't be acting strange

...

'Cause when I love, I love hard

And when I give, I give all, yeah

In yo' eyes, I see stars

I feel safe in your arms

Want my trust, just work hard, yeah

And if she ever wanna talk, tell her you love me

And ain't no other girl above me

Yeah, that's petty, but you can't afford a loss

Crazy with my thoughts, lines to never cross

Tell her, tell her, tell her

Tell her you love me

...

Tell her how you always thinking of me

You ain't gotta answer any questions when she calls your phone

You need to tell her you with me, she should fall back

Go 'head and tell her you love me, these are all facts

And if she ever wanna talk

'Cause she can't help but to call

I know you care about my heart

It ain't even hard, tell her you love me

Tell her you love me
