The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Oh, oh

Let me talk my shit

I guess they forgot about all the blood and tears, they were sheddin' on me

'Cause when I see 'em they act like they movin' better than me

I shrug it off 'cause I know they ain't doin' better than me

And I ain't even gotta talk about these scars 'cause they embedded on me

So stop it, got a bunch of dead presidents that I can't even name in these pockets

And I walk around with that strap, you might get clapped if you try to rob me

You gotta keep it gangsta with these hoes, I ain't showin' love to no sidepiece (Oh, oh, oh)

And everything I did was off the strength

We pulled way too many muscles for us to work it out

And y'all can't peak inside this window, I got the curtains down

Sometimes I let my shorty hold the grip, she be on point

Y'all niggas make a move, she pull that Birkin out

These niggas really think they spooky

It ain't shit for me to throw some Benjis on that goofy

Wanna turn a good girl to a freak? Throw Benjis on that coochie

You gotta stand on what you said, don't dap me up if we ain't Gucci

You better know what's up

And I still pull up to my hood sometimes to show 'em love

I think I popped too many Percs, I feel like throwin' up

And even if there's blood on my flag, I'm still gon' throw it up

On some real shit, oh, oh

So please don't take my heart for granted

Please, don't take my trust for granted

I'm at the edge, tryna get some space

I know I might take some time but fuck it, I'll be okay

Please, don't take my heart for granted

Got high expectations for someone with low standards

Please, don't take my time for granted

Please, don't take my trust for granted

Got a fall of with my dawg but there ain't no beef

And if it's war, we not gon' keep in the streets

All these drugs in my system, I ain't even tryna speak

Got withdrawals from your love, I ain't ever feel this weak

Before I sweat you, I'll forget you like it's nothin'

You got no respect, you disrespect me like it's nothin'

And I ain't tryna get burned in my own flame

If I get caught up, I'm sayin' no name

It's a cold heart right under this gold chain

Double up my cup for this cold pain

In this big body, I'm swervin' in my own lane

I'm racin' for that heart, I want my old flame back

Had to isolate myself now I'm alone

It's hard to remove all of these stitches from my soul

And if I think you on that bullshit, I'ma introduce to this full clip, oh, oh

So please don't take my heart for granted

Please, don't take my trust for granted

I'm at the edge, tryna get some space

I know I might take some time but fuck it, I'll be okay

Please, don't take my heart for granted

Got high expectations for someone with low standards

Please, don't take my time for granted

Please, don't take my trust for granted
