Hate To Tell Ya (feat. KALIKO)

Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't love you
Hate to tell you, babe, I can't put no one else above you
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't want you
Hate to tell you, baby, hate to tell you ba-a-by
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't love you
Hate to tell you, babe, I can't put no one else above you
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't want you
Hate to tell you, baby, hate to tell you ba-a-by

Done looked it up done ran it down
Done turning cheeks shit bent my crown
I held ya down you fucked around
Bullshitting with friends made love a clown
Shit started good, you said you would
Talked like ya could, like you knew you should
Goin legit's a bitch but you made the switch
Yeah change is hard [that part] it's overstood
Long talks and walks, you heard my heart didn't do ya part misunderstood
Then in the end, dumb arguments
Man-explaining shit not a bit of good
I told ya once I told ya thrice
No more fucks to give, them shits on ice
Gave you plenty chances you in overtime
To get ya shit together thought you'd make it right
I see ya heart I know you love me
But I need a King in command and husband
When I fall off track that you got my back
More than sing my praises, hold my hand and fuck me
Tried and tried broke bread and dimes
Doing whatever it takes to make sure we shined
Taught ya tried and true, to see what you do
Hoped you'd do the work and invest in you
But you fucked it off never counting the cost
Cain't win for losing, time and time, I lost
Apologized over a thousand times
Ya fumbled my heart for the last time
I hate to tell ya that I can't love you
Iain never wanna put shit above you
But I put you first even when it hurt
Put bum niggas before me
That shit was the worst
I loved you true, I loved you hard
Did way too much right from the start
When I saw the flags kick up in ya ass
Shoulda took a pass like passing gas
I took way too long thinkin bout what could be
Instead of staying the course and tending to me
I played the game even tho you was cheating
Now I'm sick off the bullshit I been eating

Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't love you
Hate to tell you, babe, I can't put no one else above you
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't want you
Hate to tell you, baby, hate to tell you ba-a-by
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't love you
Hate to tell you, babe, I can't put no one else above you
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't want you
Hate to tell you, baby, hate to tell you ba-a-by

Now moving forward it is what it is
Retrain my brain get back to the biz
Hold down the fort, get some coin to sort
Take command of the lust, focus on my kid
I said I can and then I did
I say I can and I know I will
Put the Plan to work I'ma seal the deal
Hand over fist with some time to kill
They think I cain't they say I won't
Don't pay no mind to the haters and cunts
Realign my mind in Yah I trust
Like to restore the faith that I had in us
Present and future we was all I seen
Regal energy the king to my queen
Makin moves and passes to secure the castle
Double down on game to make real the dream
Now's not the time, us gone have to wait
Weak foundations fold under worldly quakes
You go yo way and I'll go mines
Maybe in the end we cross our lines
Focus on yourself, build up some wealth
Mind ya mental health, build esteem of self
Fortify ya stance, be ya own man
Then down the line maybe we can
Come together again so all we do is win
Make this world of fauxs take it on the chin
Bring our people together, go from folks to kin
Make a house a home and the families blend
But until then it be what it be
I hear what you saying it's bout what I see
Ya running out the clock to get ya shit in order
If the past prevails, forever separate borders

Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't love you
Hate to tell you, babe, I can't put no one else above you
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't want you
Hate to tell you, baby, hate to tell you ba-a-by
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't love you
Hate to tell you, babe, I can't put no one else above you
Hate to tell you, baby, that I don't want you
Hate to tell you, baby, hate to tell you ba-a-by
