Ridin' 'round East LA, got a pretty lil' babe
She knows I get around, but she loves me anyway
'Cause she's down (least I'm out here working)
Yeah, ridin' 'round East LA, the sun shine my face
But she, lifts me up and all, I can say is she's down
Pen to the paper, I think about you still
Way our friendship ended and tapered, it brings about some feels
What if we meet later in life? I cater to you like a waiter
Ain't no rushing but hope you think of me sooner or later
And you told me you'd wait for me
But I told you "Don't stay for me
'Cause I don't wanna waste any more of your time that you saved for me"
All them nights inside your dorm room, that I laid with you
I'm feeling like a reward do, the VMAs
And you would be amazing
You'd get me high, but I ain't even blazing
I had a ride, you'd always drive like we're a team in racing
I felt at home with you, these dimes have got me feeling vacant
No place for me to settle down like I got ADHD
Ridin' 'round East LA, got a pretty lil' babe
She knows I get around, but she loves me anyways
She loves me anyways
Yeah, ridin' 'round East LA, the sun shine my face
But she, lifts me up but she loves me anyways
She loves me
It makes me sick to my stomach, when I think about it
Like vomit, I felt it was coming, over sink and it's out of my system
Toilet-flushing couldn't take the load that I dropped
You know the boy was rushing, tryna chase the blow like a cop
My eyes dilated, thinking but my mind jaded
I wonder this how groupies feel, the day they say that I make it
Felt like I hit a lick, right before that Tootsie pop
Choosing who I sleep with like a kid inside a cookie shop
Taking them like I ain't have an Oreo that's bored at home
Like suburban kids who claim they warm they home with open stove
Didn't tell the truth 'cause it was ugly, and you're gorgeous yo
Then you asked about it and I told you
The more you know
I felt the tension like no class
Up in them texts when you got mad
I got defensive to react to your reaction
Ain't put my pride aside, I said I actually enjoy distractions
And you were pressing me, right before my choice of action
Deflecting all my guilt upon you, for things that I did
'Cause I was scared to say "I love you," or just acknowledge
'Cause I ain't never know what I want, ain't listen close to my heart
But now we're growing apart, and now I know I was wrong
Ridin' 'round East LA, got a pretty lil' babe
She knows I get around, but she loves me anyways
She loves me anyways
Yeah, ridin' 'round East LA, the sun shine my face
But she, lifts me up but she loves me anyways
She loves me
