[Verse 1]
Yes, I can take the L and let you win, make you feel like you won
I can ice you out and make you feel like you’re the don
Every time I send you shit, you say that’s your favorite song
False alarm, I see through you and all your bullshit
I know you from way back, you never ever choose me
Never ever chose me
Now you at my shows, all alone with your homies
That’s not how it’s supposed to be
Hit your friend up, she got like really close to me
I’m the president, it’s like they really vote for me
Had some words to say, but now it’s like they choking me
You told me that you been done, but that’s a joke to me
We should link up and talk, don’t know you anymore
Come through to my new spot, I’ll be there with open doors
I know that you been crying, I’ll be there with open arms
Don’t need to go to war, I heard you been up in arms

[Chorus]
I thought I’d grow up and take a break from you
I check my watch and tell me it’s late for you
I know nobody taking my place, it’s no debate
Tears in my face for you
I thought I’d grow up and take a break from you
I check my watch and tell me it’s late for you
I know nobody taking my place, it’s no debate
Tears in my face for you

[Verse 2]
I’ll never tell a lie uyangazi
All throughout the years, you didn’t say, sthandwa sami
Everything I do is just for you, themba lami
All I ever ask is you stay safe
Yes, it could get better, but it’s sad how many days
I don’t even know what kind of problems you done faced
I’ll be there, help you keep it together like a brace
Took these double years back to back, it felt like a brace
I hope you keep that control
Don’t rush, baby, take it slow
Talking to you now feels like a job again
But I got confidence, can’t be a part again

[Chorus]
I thought I’d grow up and take a break from you
I check my watch and tell me it’s late for you
I know nobody taking my place, it’s no debate
Tears in my face for you
I thought I’d grow up and take a break from you
I check my watch and tell me it’s late for you
I know nobody taking my place, it’s no debate
Tears in my face for you
