Can you step into my shoes

I can’t trust a hoe so I might come off very rude

How you saying that you love me when you left when I was a lil kid

Can’t say that it’s yo fault but I wouldn’t do wit you what I done did
Recognizing personal responsibility while expressing forgiveness.
Tryna’ come all back around you say you wana talk and shit
Acknowledging past mistakes in relationships and the irreversibility of consequences.
But it’s too late i’m getting paid fuck all the relationship

You ain’t loyal to the gang you on that creep shit get you cropped out

Bitches and niggas be capping a lot
Observing deception and dishonesty from both genders.
All these hoes be tryna plot

Wishing we can laugh and talk one more time
