On Deaf Ears

I tried, tried , tried Up all hours of the night Telling me what I want to hear but you lied, lied, lied Out here looking stupid over a girl that's made it clear she doesn't want me, but she provokes me, she's invoking all of the times that I had her choking Man, I tried I tried, tried, tried for real Why'd you do me like that? Broke my heart, don't do me like that King to your queen, can't believe what I seen - the hand we dealt would've yielded a jack At some point So stressed, can't spark no joint People wonder why I'm devoid That's my choice Pure money fours, Air Force ones Mama raised an ole gullible son Sometimes I stare up at the sun with no shades, deep-frying with no bun The bun's been burnt a long time ago My heart's been hurt a long time ago I don't resort to drugs to cope with my problems, I sip tea not blueberry faygo Play though Manipulation, play-dough Incarcerated in love, no need to make a trip out to Clay-Co I can't cope but I drive the boat to the shore SZA'ing with Love Galore Little trust, yeah a little more To love someone is a chore Man I swear to God But I'm here Pouring out my heart but you won't listen Looking at the stars but I'm not wishing Overflowing potential no longer brimming, I swear I'm sinning Pessimistic Once, man, I was optimistic but that optimism has grown resistant to all of my persistence Here I am Heart's broken again Here I am with no girl or a clown car of a support system to call my friends Time together sure came to an end You want to pretend? Try to blend? Make amends? Shake my head I tried, tried , tried Up all hours of the night Telling me what I want to hear but you lied, lied, lied Out here looking stupid over a girl that's made it clear she doesn't want me, but she provokes me, she's invoking all of the times that I had her choking Man, I tried Did me so bad, my trust effed up Did me so wrong, my soul so corrupt Take a girl out then lie to her face, just to end the date so short, so abrupt I'm stuck A rock in a hard place with no face 'cause it's covered by shame Different tendencies, not the same Man I wish I didn't have heartbreak But I do, I do, I do, I do Wish I could leave it all in rearview Wish I was woke, I've failed to come to Man, what a curse it was to love you But see, they don't speak on red flags that's why it's a red flag Picking up on everything they lack The crazy part is, it probably wouldn't change nothing so the red flag might as well be green Like grass Rockin' Robin sure put me on blast Told me not to trust a big butt and smile Learned that lesson after a long while At least I was smart, don't have no child Child support would've caused me to grab a glock to the head, I would've went pow Oh wow How about now? Wasn't really seeing me way back then Wasn't really peeping me way back when Yeah, I really bossed up so ever since Don't play like you're innocent I could write a book on all the -ish that I know But I won't 'Cause it falls on deaf ears
