Not Today (feat. Eve)

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.

Why won't you grow up and be a man someday

I can't believe that you're still playing silly games

Now why do I put up with all this childish play

Now if your word is all you have, then you ain't worth a damn thing

(Promises) you told me everyday

(That you made) you never ever came

(Not for me) I really want to believe

(But, not today) not today, not today, not today

You're the worst, I can't even depend on you

You say a lot of good things, but somethin' else you always do

Be a man of your word, try to love something other than you

But now you can be on your way, because I don't want you to *stay

Bought a house, bought the kids

Lifestyles we would live

Who the fuck you really is

In my face all the time

Spittin' line after line

Broke down my wall and you got in my mind

You's a fake, should've known

All the times I was shown

Believe what I saw *then your cover was blown

Break up, leave, make up please

You's a magician, all *them tricks up your sleeve

*Had me for a minute and I was in it

You played good but I'ma bet you gotta get it

So I make moves and I'ma leave you where you at dog, chill

Go back to square one, wait for somethin' real

Selfish nigga, coulda helped you nigga

Usually know better, but I felt you nigga

I guess gettin' in my head was part of the plan

Cause in reality, the only thing you givin' me is

Don't let him waste your time girl (don't let him waste your time girl)

He's only tellin' lies girl (he's only tellin' some lies to you)

When he apologizes (and he will, he will)

Don't believe all that mess cause he will do it again
