Ex Factor/ Nice For What (pot-pourri)

It could all be so simple

But you'd rather make it hard

Loving you is like a battle

And we both end up with scars

Tell me, who I have to be

To get some reciprocity

'Cause no one loves you more than me

And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow

You always seem to let me know

It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')

It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')

And when I try to walk away

You'd hurt yourself to make me stay

This is crazy (this is crazy)

This is crazy (this is crazy)

I keep letting you back in (back in)

How can I explain myself?

As painful as this thing has been

I just can't be with no one else

See I know what we've got to do

You let go, and I'll let go too

Cause no one's hurt me more than you

And no one ever will

No matter how I think we grow

You always seem to let me know

It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')

It ain't workin' (it ain't workin')

And when I try to walk away

You'd hurt yourself to make me stay

This is crazy (this is crazy)

This is crazy (this is crazy)

Care for me, care for me

I know you care for me

There for me, there for me

Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me

You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me

Why won't you live for me?

Care for me, care for me

I know you care for me

There for me, there for me

Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me

You said you'd die for me

Give to me

Everybody get your mothafuckin' roll on

I know shorty and she doesn't want no slow song

Had a man last year, life goes on

Haven't let that thing loose, girl, in so long

You've been inside, know you like to lay low

I've been peepin' what you bringin' to the table

Workin' hard, girl, everything paid for

First-last, phone bill, car note, cable

With your phone out, gotta hit them angles

With your phone out, snappin' like you fabo

And you showin' off, but it's alright

And you showin' off, but it's alright

It's a short life, yeah

Care for me, care for me

I know you care for me

There for me, there for me

Said you'd be there for me

Cry for me, cry for me

You said you'd die for me

Give to me, give to me

Why won't you live for me?

Yeah that's a real one in your reflection

Without a follow, without a mention

You really pipin' up on me

You gotta be nice for what to me?

I understand

You got a hunnid bands

You got a baby Benz, you got some bad friends

High school pics, you was even bad then

You ain't stressin' off no lover in the past tense

You already had them

Work at 8 am, finish 'round five

Hoes talk down, you don't see 'em outside

Yeah, they don't really be the same offline

You know dark days, you know hard times

Doin' overtime for the last month

Saturday, call the girls, get 'em gassed up

Gotta hit the club, gotta make that ass jump

Gotta hit the club like you hit them mothafuckin' angles

With your phone out, snappin' like you fabo

And you showin' off but it's alright

And you showin' off but it's alright

It's a short life

Where were you when I needed you?

Where were you when I needed you?

Where were you when I needed you?

Where were you when I needed you?
