I been up 'til midnight, drivin' to nowhere

Bumpin' a slow song, can't get my head clear

And the money's insane, I know
           Gmaj7
But it don't fill the void at all

       And I promised my mom I'd do better
                  Fmaj7     Fmaj9
But they keep trying me so I'm

I keep pretеndin' everyone's as good as mе
          Fmaj7      Fmaj9
Shit's so weird I cannot speak

       Am7   G/A
All my exes still love me
 
Call me up, he wanna freak
       Fmaj7        Fmaj9
All my opps lookin' distressed
Gmaj7
How you copy then compete?
 
             Am7           G/A
Oh, you just mad that your nigga want me
 
Oh, you just mad that we went ten weeks
             Fmaj7             Fmaj9
Oh, you just mad that your ass ain't free
Gmaj7
Scared to say shit so you fake kiki
 
                Am7        G/A
Scared to cut a nigga so I left, ski-ski
 
I ain't scared of shit so I swing my meat
                  Fmaj7         Fmaj9
I ain't scared of shit so I let mine go

       And I can't lose my focus, I know if hope is the goal
             Fmaj9        Gmaj7
Then I can't succumb like these cum-guzzlers at all (Nope)
Am7 G/A
       And I know that if love is my purpose
                Fmaj7        Fmaj9    Gmaj7
I can't waste energy looking for enemies, I just dub it all
 
Am7 G/A
I'm anti-beef, half y'all bitches be too cheap
