Post to Be Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Lil Tjay
Yeah-ah

[Chorus: Lil Tjay]
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know

[Verse 1: Lil Tjay]
You told me you was gon' hold it down
All this time you hoed around

Ain't no point explaining, I ain't capping, girl, it's over now
This is from my heart, my soul
I just had to let you know
You fucked up something good, you couldn't be with me on the road
When I told you I'm gon' ride for you
I ain't even lie to you

So I'ma do what I'ma do
And you move on if possible
Failure, that ain't optional, chasing after dreams now
It ain't nothing stopping you, go ahead and leave now
I can't slack, I'm back on my grind
But last week I was losing my mind
Never intended on doing you sly
And it's gon' hurt when I leave you behind
[Chorus: Lil Tjay]
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know

[Verse 2: Rileyy Lanez]
You said that I fucked around
I feel like you let me down
You don't even know who got me tripping with that run around
This is from my heart, my soul
Yeah I'm done with all that love shit
I've seen the red flags, I no longer ignore it
Telling more lies again, talking 'bout you sorry and
You gon' have me scuffling, silly-ass bitches be troubling
You fool me once, I get you twice back, look who's laughing
You gon' be mad when I get tight and get to clapping
I know you busy and back on your grind
But, see, it's slow for you wasting my time
I keep it pushing and going, get mine
Just in, believe that I'm gonna be fine
[Chorus: Lil Tjay]
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know

[Outro: Lil Tjay & Rileyy Lanez]
I still can't even go to sleep, you still can't get over me
I thought you was real, how you fuck someone so close to me
Messed me up emotionally, this ain't how it's 'posed to be
And I know, I know, I know (Stupid)
