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.
Need you for the old me
Need you for my sanity
Need you to remind me where I come from
Can you remind me of my gravity?
Ground me when I'm tumblin', spiralin', plummetin' down to Earth
You keep me down to Earth
Call me on my bullshit
Lie to me and say my booty gettin' bigger, even if it ain't
Love me even if it rain
Love me even if it pain you
I know I be difficult
You know I be difficult
You know it get difficult, too
Open your heart up
Hoping I'll never find out that you're anyone else
'Cause I love you just how you are
Hope you never find out who I really am
'Cause you'll never love me, you'll never love me
You'll never love me, but I believe you when you say it like that
Oh, do you mean it when you say it like that?
Oh, I believe you when you say it like that
You must really love me
For real, I'm not playing no games
Boy, we back and forth
I need your support now (now, now, now, now, now)
In case you call my phone again
Got no panties on
I need your support now (now, now, now, now, now)
I know you'd rather be laid up with a big booty
Body hella positive 'cause she got a big booty (wow)
I know I'd rather be paid up
You know I'm sensitive about havin' no booty
Havin' nobody, only you, buddy
Can you hold me when nobody's around us?
Open your heart up
Hoping I'll never find out that you're anyone else
'Cause I love you just how you are
Hope you never find out who I really am
'Cause you'll never love me, you'll never love me
You'll never love me, but I believe you when you say it like that
Oh, do you mean it when you say it like that?
Oh, I believe you when you say it like that
You must really love me
You don't got shit to say to me
I ain't got shit to say to you
Granny!
And that's the truth
And step on
Also you black heffa, you stand your ground
'Cause I feel the same way
If you don't like me, you don't have to fool with me
But you don't have to talk about me or treat me mean
I don't have to treat you mean
I just stay out of your way
That's the way you work that one
