Oh
Reece, take 'em to church
How you expectin' me to fuck with you? (How?)
Back then, your heart was so submissive (Yes, sir)
You cared for me, I know it's love in you
Your stabbin' ways make it no different
All this shit make a nigga wanna come over (Yes, sir)
Pull up, know I ain't sober (Huh?)
Better stop actin' like I don't know you (Better stop)
Playin' with fire that you ain't gon' touch (Oh)
What's the reason? There's no one to blame
Confused why you ain't the same
So, now you wanna step out this way (Huh)
Alcohol gon' have to numb all this pain (Oh), no
Roses ain't the only thing that don't last forever (No, it don't)
Our love was timeless, but now I guess we ain't meant together (Yes, sir)
Used to blow prayers on you
Never was a thing when it came to you
VVS diamonds when it came to the jewels (Woo)
Red bottom heels when it came to the shoes, oh yeah (Oh)
Now you ain't nothin' left to me but a memory, yeah, oh (Yes)
Flushin' my problems all away, drinkin' Hennessy, yeah (C'mon)
Suddenly ran it up into our timeframe (Let's go)
How can you walk around like you okay? (Let's go)
Got me second guessing if your love was just fake (C'mon)
Was you real with my heart, or was it play? (Oh)
You're actin' like you want me to shine with a new thing
Ain't no reason to keep on lyin' so loosely
My mama throws it in my face 'cause she warned me
If the money was never there, would you support me? (C'mon)
Or would you leave me lonely, baby?
My heart is all broken, need savin', uh (Yes, sir)
My trust been fuckin' with me lately, uh (C'mon)
Got me thinkin' am I goin' crazy?
Look at how you left me, oh no (Now I know)
Roses ain't the only thing that don't last forever (No, it don't)
Our love was timeless, but now I guess we ain't meant together (Yes, sir)
Used to blow prayers on you (C'mon)
Never was a thing when it came to you
VVS diamonds when it came to the jewels (Woo)
Red bottom heels when it came to the shoes, oh yeah (Oh)
Now you ain't nothin' left to me but a memory, yeah, oh (Yes)
Flushin' my problems all away, drinkin' Hennessy, yeah (C'mon)
Drinkin' Hennessy, yeah
Baby, I thought it was you and me, yeah
I remember you and me, yeah
Drinkin' Hennessy, yeah
Said you wanna be, yeah
