I wanna know how we became so distant, girl
The way we fell in love, it was almost instant
I'm tryna find a way around it
Girl, tell me how you feel about it
You still love me, that's the way it's sounding
Thank God I would have never found this
I doubt it
I'm there for you if you allow it
Girl, you know I gotta keep you around me
All this paper we counting, blazing these ounces
Spending on you, baby, no matter what the amount is
Now you wanna know what's gotten into me, what's changed? (Young Tiller!)
I guess I had a hard time showing it at first, but
Baby, it's been that way
Baby, it's been that way
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
Baby, it's always, always, always been that way
It's always been that way
(Didn't I tell you, girl?)
It's always been that way
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
It's always been that way
How did we become so distant?
Like I'm the one to blame and you're innocent
I try to make a way, make a difference
But somethings don't change, I can't complain
I try not to think about you
What can I say? Everytime I get near you, I want that old thing back
Now bring it to me
Shorty keep telling me what to do about you
Then she got jealous soon as she knew about you
She don't never wanna see her go through round two (Cut her off!)
Cut her off, that's what I'm doing now, you
Told me I should go out and do my thing (Damn right!)
Damn, right, I do my thing
Now you want to know what's gotten into me, what's changed?
But baby, none changed
Baby, it's been that way (Oh, you know)
Baby, it's been that way (Oh, you know)
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
Baby, it's always, always, always been that way
(One time, girl, I said it one time)
(Girl, I said it one time)
It's always been that way
(Hey, didn't I tell you, girl?)
(I said it one time)
It's always been that way (Yessir!)
Baby, I still feel the same
Something I gotta maintain
Listen to me when I say
It's always been that way
Oh, yeah, it's always been that way
Oh, yeah, it's always been that way
We the, we the trap in the soul
We the trap
