LTOR (Left Them On Read)

I paid my dues and made my rent Just tryna sip and vent Leave me be and let me live Until I catch my breath Left those bitches on read (x4) Give me a moment While I articulate my thoughts You jumping to a verdict while it's still moving dots Baby, I'm just doing me, I hope you knew that from the start 'Cause you suddenly expect my responses On a hundred-something watts Why you thinking you're the one I need to please I'm stressing over bills, you're here talking 'bout receipts I repeat Can't forget the message settings Always gotta turn the switch Honestly, you're lucky when you text The text ain't turning green Yo, can I live While I figure out a way Mama told me don't go falling for the chase I'm just tryna buy some time To live and see another day Nine-Nine problems So for one, you gotta wait Until I narrow down my fate What can I say Is it just me or is it everybody else Insecure from expectations Went and silenced all my bells Often times I know it's hard to tell 'cause The only time I fake a smile is when I'm talking to myself, well I paid my dues and made my rent Just tryna sip and vent Leave me be and let me live Until I catch my breath Left those bitches on read (x4)
