I paid my dues and made my rent
Just tryna sip and vent
Leave me be and let me live
Until I catch my breath
Left those bitches on read (x4)
Give me a moment
While I articulate my thoughts
You jumping to a verdict while it's still moving dots
Baby, I'm just doing me, I hope you knew that from the start
'Cause you suddenly expect my responses
On a hundred-something watts
Why you thinking you're the one I need to please
I'm stressing over bills, you're here talking 'bout receipts
I repeat
Can't forget the message settings
Always gotta turn the switch
Honestly, you're lucky when you text
The text ain't turning green
Yo, can I live
While I figure out a way
Mama told me don't go falling for the chase
I'm just tryna buy some time
To live and see another day
Nine-Nine problems
So for one, you gotta wait
Until I narrow down my fate
What can I say
Is it just me or is it everybody else
Insecure from expectations
Went and silenced all my bells
Often times I know it's hard to tell 'cause
The only time I fake a smile is when I'm talking to myself, well
I paid my dues and made my rent
Just tryna sip and vent
Leave me be and let me live
Until I catch my breath
Left those bitches on read (x4)
