Bird Flu

What goes around, comes around, applies to me too
I know I hurt you, baby, but I lied to me too
See, I could never switch, hope you ride for me too
All the years I thugged it out until I finally meet you

Taking off my cool is such a process, why is that?
Cutting through my armor, tryna dissect
You the only one for me, even though I try to run from it, I'm
Out of breath now, you upset now

Practice makes perfect, need my restitution
You see the leap from boys to men, baby, this just my evolution
In a rush, broken trust, gotta handle that
It's just me alone in this black Cadillac

Know we both got options, still I'm locked in (still I'm locked in)
Running after love 'til I'm exhausted
The ones worth everything don't come around often
If you want me on, then I'm so off them

All this procrastination, no, I'm not like myself
Hurts to say I blacked out at a time I needed help
Resentment, self-inflicted from the things I never said
The story grew some legs, then it really got ahead

An open ear could make a stranger feel like she's somebody to me
Why I did it wouldn't make no sense to nobody but me
So I take a beat, formulate how I feel
Words too, been sick, baby, I'm so sick, got bird flu

I'm praying on it like my church suit
I'm feeling cleansed from my sins in the end, know I deserve you
In a rush, broken trust gotta handle that
It's just me alone in this black Cadillac

Think I finally got the hang of it
If I just
You know
Yeah, yeah

Know we both got options, still I'm locked in (still I'm locked in)
Running after love 'til I'm exhausted
The ones worth everything don't come around often
If you want me on, then I'm so off them

(No, I won't complain)
Even under pressure (it's time to spread my wings)
I think I finally understand the lesson (down to fan the flame)
First time felt stuck, grew to feeling better (it makes me wanna sing)
Second time around, I wrote a letter (you're all I'll ever need)
Third time around I thought I had it figured, but I knew (my heart is on my sleeve)
It was still some resistance I've been fighting through the truth
(They're nothing to me)
Yeah
(Never gonna leave ya, baby)
