Loving you is complicated

I place blame when you steal

Place shame when you steal

Feel like you ain't shit

Feel like you don't feel, confidence in yourself

Breakin' on marble floors

Watchin' anonymous strangers tellin' me that I'm yours

But you ain't shit I'm convinced your talent's nothin' special

What can I blame him for

Nigga I can name several

Situation had stopped with your little sister bakin'

A baby inside, just a teenager, where's your patience

Whats your antennas, where is the influence you speak of

You preached in front of 100,000 but never reached her

I fuckin' tell you, you fuckin' failure you ain't no leader

I never liked you, forever despise you I don't need you

The world don't need you, don't let them deceive you

Numbers lie too, fuck your pride too, thats for dedication

Thought money would change you, made you more complacent

I fuckin' hate you, I hope you embrace it

I swear

Loving you is complicated

Lovin' you, lovin' you, not lovin' you, one hundred proof

I can feel you vibin', recognize that your ashamed of me

Yes I hate you too

House keeping

House keeping

¡Abre la puerta! ¡abre la puerta tengo que limpiar el cuarto!

¡Es que no hay mucho tiempo tengo que limpiar el cuarto¡

!Disculpe!

Are you the reason why mama and them leavin'

No you ain't shit, you say you love them, I know you don't mean it

I know you're irresponsible, selfish, in denial, can't help it

Your trials and tribulations a burden, everyone felt it

Everyone heard it, multiple shots, corners cryin' out

You was deserted, where was your antennas again?

Where was your presence, where was your support that you pretend?

You ain’t no brother, you ain’t no disciple, you ain’t no friend

A friend never leave compton for profit or leave his best friend

Little brother, you promised you’d watch him before they shot him

Where was your antennas, on the road, bottles and bitches

You faced time the one time, that's unforgiven

You even faced time instead of a hospital visit

You should thought he would recover, well

The surgery couldn't stop the bleeding for real

Then he died, God himself will say "you fuckin' failed"

You ain't try

I know your secrets nigga

Mood swings is frequent nigga

I know depression is restin' on your heart for two reasons nigga

I know you and a couple block boys ain't been speakin' nigga

Y'all damn near beefin', I seen it and your the reason nigga

And if this bottle could talk *gulp* I cry myself to sleep

Bitch everything is your fault

Faults breakin' to pieces, earthquakes on every weekend

Because you shook as soon

As you knew confinement was needed

I know your secrets

Don't let me tell them to the world about that shit you thinkin'

And that time you, I'm bout to hurl

I'm fucked up, but I'm not as fucked up as you

You just can't get right, I think your heart made of bullet proof

Shoulda killed yo ass a long time ago

You shoulda filled that black revolver blast a long time ago

And if those mirrors could talk it would say "you gotta go"

And if I told your secrets

The world'll know money can't stop a suicidal weakness
