[Verse 1: Maeta]
I grew up in housing tracks
Felt like summer when all the kids were out
Not old enough to light up yet
Still did behind the house
Bel Air felt too far away
The opposite too close
You'd lie to your parents to come and see me
And say you love me
So I'm the one who you would lie to most

[Chorus: Maeta]
You are backwards
You'd act like it's for me, mmm
So I left you in the teen scene
I did that for you
But I'm still backward

[Post-Chorus: Maeta]
Soon again, I'm deep up in your waters
Livin' life just like you taught it
Tables turned, you got my plate
At least I didn't save that shit in vain
Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm
Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm

[Verse 2: Buddy]
Lil' ghetto nigga plottin' on some better livin'
Big money, told my mama I ain't settlin'
Plot thickens every time I get, get it
Gotta keep shit flippin' 'til the clock quit tickin'
I get incentives for sinny, sin, sinnin'
The devil is a lie, Father God is forgivin'
Baby on my mind, but I'm always on a mission
Tryna get another six figures
Girl, you know you love me, just admit it
Yeah, I love you too, but I be trippin'
Had a little trouble with committin'
I was raised different, places I've been, they won't visit
Things we did, I won't mention
Things you said, I won't forget it, I don't regret it
Forever indebted, we got here together
Whole other level
Now we just get better and better
When I'm in the city, they call me a legend, yeah

[Verse 3: Maeta]
Used to hang behind the tracks
Adding to graffiti on the walls
Drank with you despite the taste
Now for everything, I turn to alcohol
Oh, mother said, "It's puppy love
And soon he'll be a dog"
You'd lie to your parents to come and see me
And say you love me
So you're the one you lied to all along

[Chorus: Maeta]
You are backwards
You act like it's for me, mmm
So I left you in the teen scene
I did that for you
But I'm still backward

[Post-Chorus: Maeta]
Soon again, I'm deep up in your waters
Livin' life just like you taught it
Tables turned, you got my plate
At least I didn't save that shit in vain
Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm
Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm

[Outro: Buddy]
I should've never lied (That's my bad, that's my bad, my bad)
I should've told the truth (That's my bad, that's my bad, my bad, my bad)
We can do it 'til we get it right (That's my bad)
It's all for you
