  • I don't feel that she's mine enough
    God, I feel I couldn't have you windin' up
    Butterfly in my wrist
    You make pretty women out of my skin
    And I don't feel like
    And I know you wouldn't leave

    They said, "Build your own" I said, "How, Sway?"
    I said, "Slavery a choice," they said, "How, Ye?"
    Just imagine if they caught me on a wild day
    Now I'm on fifty blogs gettin' fifty calls
    My wife callin', screamin', say, "We 'bout to lose it all"
    Had to calm her down 'cause she couldn't breathe
    Told her she could leave me now
    But she wouldn't leave

    And I know you wouldn't leave

    And I sometimes wish
    We doin' such things
    We could wait longer than this
    Yes you know, you're one of these
    We can run through with the top chopped, yeah
    And the sundress down, ooh

    And I know you wouldn't leave

    Oh, don't bring that up, that's gon' get me sentimental
    You know I'm sensitive, I got a gentle mental
    Every time somethin' happen, they want me sent to mental
    We had an incident but I cover incidentals
    You want me working on my messaging
    When I'm thinkin' like George Jetson but sounding like George Jefferson
    Then they questioning my methods then
    If you tweakin' out on my texts again then I don't get reception here
    I got the mind state to take us past the stratosphere
    I use the same attitude that done got us here
    I live for now, I don't know what happen after here
    I live for now, I don't know what happen after here
    Plus, what was meant to be was meant to be
    Even if, publicly, I lack the empathy
    I ain't finna talk about it, 'nother four centuries
    One and one is two but me and you, that's infinity (and I know you wouldn't leave)

    I don't feel that she's mine enough
    God, I feel I couldn't have you windin' up (why?)
    Butterfly in my wrist
    You make pretty women out of my skin (out of my skin)
    And I don't feel like (uh)
    And I know you wouldn't leave (love me or hate me)

    For any guy that ever fucked up (love me or hate me)
    Ever embarrassed they girl (love me or hate me)
    Ever embarrassed they wife (gone when you miss me)
    She told you not to do that shit (oh)
    She told you you's gon' fuck the money up
    But you ain't wanna listen, did you?
    Keep that same energy
    Keep that same energy
    Now you testing her loyalty
    This what they mean when they say, "For better or for worse", huh?
    For every down female that stuck with they dude
    Through the best times, through the worst times
    This for you
    And I know you wouldn't leave Writer/s: Francis Farewell Starlite, Jahron Brathwaite, Jeremih Felton, Jordan Thorpe, Justice Vernon, Kanye West, Kenneth Pershon, Malik Yusef, Michael Dean, Noah Goldstein, Terrence Boykin, Tyrone Girrin, Jr., W.A. Donaldson
