And we're off to the races, places

Ready, set the gate is down and now we're goin' in

To Las Vegas chaos, Casino Oasis, honey it is time to spin

Boy you're so crazy, baby, I love you forever not maybe

You are my one true love, you are my one true love

Let her know I’m here if she ever need me to be with her

As long as she know I can never be with her

She asks you why, I just need you to keep it G with her

Tell her I found the happiness that I could never see with her

3 Years after that break up, should’ve had closure by now

We’d be best friends, you’d have let this end we’d be closer by now

What you want is upset, hostile, angry, evil, jealous, bitter shit

Fuck makin your bed and lying in it, you bought that house, live with it

I came to you for a second chance, you gave me your ass to kiss

Found another salad to toss, how the fuck is you mad at this?

Oh, I forgot, you not in love anymore

And I’d believe it, but see I’m not on drugs anymore

That’s based on action, words I stopped believing still I hear it though

Would you save them if you knew they became meaningless to me years ago?

But if happiness is the finish line, I beat you there

So karma must be real cause since we broke up he ain’t treat you fair

Remember our break up? I rapped about it on Downfall

But you know I don’t stay down for long

Remember you met that other dude, he’s smarter and more mature

With more bread that you’d thought would be around for long

Remember you pulled the rug from under me, left me to be alone

I threatened suicide, bang, was crazy about you

But that stalker dude was still right to the point you waste that for this name

And when we speak now you still say I’m crazy without you, my

My, how the tables have turned

Or are they bending just a little, you resent it just a little

Cause dude that ruined your life made you doubt yours

It’s the reason that loneliness you gave me is now yours, check it

Your perspective I can’t even call it hatin

You mad at the situation, really it ain’t even Kaylin

We both sympathized, that pain is felt and shared

To watch a man that you helped better display it elsewhere

Watch a man you spent years with, grew with

Come across to someone that you want nothing to do with

To sleep in a bed with "what ifs?" instead of something special

How can you get over us? The public won’t even let you

I know to wake up with that fear is gross

Love me from far cause you scared to get close

But what are you fearing the most?

If happiness is the finish line I beat you there

I always thought that when you’d put the baggage down I’d meet you there

Uh, let’s bring up the speed a lil bit

Now a nigga balling, you still tell me to grow some

Entertaining threesomes, you don’t think that it’s wholesome

Say that you can’t trust me, think I’m out here trashing you

Got a lot of answers to questions I don’t be asking you

I tried to be friends so I don’t see a problem passing through

You welcome a nigga to pain, it is me harassing you

You must be misconstruing my love and it’s gassing you

Causing you to wear our shit out, and think it's fashionable

I'm thinking you should put our history in back of you

That would call for you stepping outside of yourself and being rational

Come to friendship, you question me in that capacity

How would you ever know it’s not something you ever asked of me

And VH1 just gave us another episode

So maybe it’s smart that you can’t let this go

Cause love changes, a thug changes

And soul mates become strangers, word up
