[Verse 1]
Tryna trick me out of my character, it ain't your place
I'd rather save my grace
You won't force him to make it pretty on material ways
Will never rough that trade
He was breaking a bed of flowers out of all of them lies
If it makes you feel good
God forbid I ever let some might lie
For another rough time

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been so cold for way too long
Oh, I gotta get me back, get me back, yeah
You had solid gold 'til you lost control
It's time to get me back, get me back, yeah

[Chorus]
To the genesis of my love (My love)
Must've got too caught up in it
You caused the exodus of my trust
When I had it all in the beginning
It should've never took a revelation
For me to exhaust my patience
That's why I need mine

[Verse 2]
Since I freed my mind, I've been focused ever since
And now when it hails on the hills and they barely come with the tents
I tell it get it right or get left if it's causing me to overthink
My calibre ain't made for stress
Told you already, you know that I'm the best (You know you're working with the best)

[Pre-Chorus]
You've been so cold for way too long
I gotta get me back, get me back
You had solid gold until you lost control
It’s time to get me back, get me back, yeah

[Chorus]
To the genesis of my love (My love)
Must've got too caught up in it
You caused the exodus of my trust (My trust)
When I had it all in the beginning
It should've never took a revelation
For me to exhaust my patience
That’s why I need my

[Bridge]
Redemption (From your)
Deception (You just)
Rejected (Your own)
Direction (Thought we'd be)
Together, forever
This life, I need my
Redemption (From your)
Deception (Feeling so)
Rejected (For ending your)
Direction (Will never be)
Together, forever
In this life, I need

[Verse 3]
If I had to do this life again
Promise I'ma choose a better man
You couldn't begin to comprehend
What you had when you had it
What a waste
Why'd you even bother with the chase?
You know your legs can't carry all the bullshit if they tried
So it's right about time

[Chorus]
For the genesis of my love (My love)
Must've got too caught up in it
You caused the exodus of my trust (My trust)
When I had it all in the beginning
It should've never took a revelation
For me to exhaust my patience
That's why I need mine
