Lyrics

I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster Could’ve held you down, now I’m just a ghost, huh Used to talk late, now it’s silence when I call ya Watched you switch lanes, guess I couldn’t stop ya
Told me I was different, but that line’s overused DMs full of dudes, I ain’t tryna be confused Scrollin’ through your page like I’m tryna find clues Played it too cool, now I’m the one who lose
You say you want real, but your actions don’t match Told me I was safe, then you went and fell back Now I’m sittin’ here stuck with the flashbacks You moved on quick—guess I wasn’t built to last

 I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster Feelin’ like a backup when I should’ve been the sponsor Late night calls, but your heart’s with an imposter This ain’t real love—it’s a cycle that’s toxic
I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster Fell too deep, now I’m movin' with caution If I ain’t the one, then baby, be honest 'Cause I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster

 Seen the signs, yeah, I should’ve paid attention Tried to play it cool, now I’m stuck in my mentions Lookin’ for a bond, you was lookin’ for a flex I was thinkin’ long term, you was thinkin’ next
Sayin’ you alone, but you got ‘em on rotation Every time I check, it’s a new situation Hearts in your inbox, blue ticks racin’ But none of ‘em there when your mood need savin’
I gave time, gave peace, gave space You gave lies, fake love, two-faced Still, I ain’t mad, just learned from the pain Now I’m on go, you can keep the game

 I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster Feelin’ like a backup when I should’ve been the sponsor Late night calls, but your heart’s with an imposter This ain’t real love—it’s a cycle that’s toxic
I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster Fell too deep, now I’m movin' with caution If I ain’t the one, then baby, be honest 'Cause I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster

 Keep your stories, your streaks, your replies I’m too grown to compete for your time If it ain’t real, I’d rather say goodbye You lost one—don’t hit me when you realize
No more checkin' who you post, who you taggin' No more guessin' if you cappin' or actin’ I gave real—you gave me distractions I’m done tryna fit in with your patterns

 I don’t wanna be no option Don’t hit me when your phone’s not poppin’ I was there when your world felt rotten Now I’m gone, and my love—forgotten
I don’t wanna be another guy on your roster... And I won’t be. D’Joe ain’t no one’s bitch.

Used to Be First

Lyrics

Took time off, got my mind back aligned Used to break down, now I read every sign I was tryna find peace, she was tryna play boss Now I’m iced out mentally, no gloss Took a couple Ls, but I bounce like Moss Didn’t need luck, I just counted the cost
Woke up feelin’ like I ain’t missin’ a step All gas, no fear, no second-guess Started movin’ like the dream already in place Clock stopped tickin’, I just live at my pace

 Feelin' lighter than ever, we don’t fall, we float Pressure made a diamond, now we shine, we glow From the dirt to the stars, yeah, that’s all I know Turn the pain to a rhythm, now we run that show
Hands high when the bassline drop Vibes too real, and the grind don’t stop New day, new dream, same team on top Feelin lighter than ever—just watch, just watch

 Circles come and go Hoes bounce or fold We agin' till we old We all lookin' for the gold
Tight or loose, even if I was the caboose Still played my role, never needed no excuse Stayed ten toes, even when I had to lose Now I choose peace over breaking all the rules
Now I talk fast, walk past, top tier moves Game in my hands like I can't afford to lose Whole team lit, and we all got juice Turn pain to a bop—now the crowd get loose
Where’s the gin? We ready to celebrate Called up my dawg—he brought the za, never late Pulled up clean, no roof, no debate Feelin like the man, this a whole new state
Can’t see what’s below Dropped the baggage, now the vision’s in flow

 Third eye open, I ain't missin’ a thing Learned to move quiet, now I talk with my rings Used to doubt myself, now I’m rulin' my lane Still humble with it—just upgraded the frame
Same soul, just clearer in the mirror now Used to pray for peace, I’m the spirit now All these lessons hit different when you’re walkin’ alone But I’m good on my own—I’ve been buildin' a home

 Finessin’ like I’m Puss in Boots Tailored moves, never needed suits Came from the low, now the view’s all truth Every step mean somethin’, every bar got roots
Champagne thoughts in a midnight loop Heart on chill but the dreams still swoop Lights get dim, but the soul stay lit Feelin lighter than ever—yeah, this that hit

Feelin’ Lighter

Lyrics
 Just gon let it be That works well for me She said I need some cake The way she turned around, I knew it wasn’t baked Put it on a plate—I don’t hesitate Got me thinking ‘bout fate, not just her shape Didn’t even speak, but the message was clear When she walked off, had to shift up a gear Told myself, “Chill, don’t fall for the rear” But I’ve been down bad, and the night’s too near Text said “what you doin,” I said “just me” She said “pull up,” and that’s all I need
 I’m not tryna chase what’s already mine If you show the vibe, I’ll give you time But don’t play sweet just to feed my pride I’m used to nights where love don’t slide So if you want it, say it clear to me Otherwise, I’m just gon let it be
Let it be, let it be Gon let it be Let it be, let it be Lennon flowin’ like a breeze Let it be, let it be Swayin’ with the palm trees Just gon let it be
 Slid through the spot, lowkey but lit She opened the door, in her vibe I fit Didn’t say much, but I knew what it was Eyes did the talking, no need to fuss She poured a drink, I played it smooth Said, “I ain’t here to rush, I just move how I move” She laughed, said “you’re different”—I said “I know” Told her I’m done with the typical show Body on ten, but I’m reading the soul If the moment feels right, then I’ll play my role But I’ve been through games, I don’t fold for free So I stayed in control and just let it be
 I ain't holdin' breath, but I ain't gon chase If you feel the spark, then say it to my face No smoke and mirrors, no hide-and-seek Homer was playin’—this ain’t no Odyssey You had my time, now it's up to you I said my piece, now what you gon do?

Gon Let it Be

Lyrics
 It was a figment of my imagination walking through the rain Carving the path, don’t care about the game Not tryna complain I ain’t interested, it’s lame What is up with you today? You just don’t look the same Do they know your name?
 I heard it through the wire You wanna sit here and retire with no heart or drive They won’t hire Not tryna be cool unless shit gets dire The world is my closer and I am the fire
 People gonna hate Tear up the name Try to dim the spark, but I lit up the flame Built from the ashes, I’m done with the shame They wanted me silent—I’m loud in the frame
 Okay they see you now Just don’t sit here and act like a clown A feeling that frowns on the other side of town Where the dreams die young and the skies stay brown Better hold your crown or they'll pull you down Just do not drown when the silence grows loud
 I don’t need a stage, just a reason to breathe Still chasing the dream they were too quick to leave Got dirt on my hands, but I wear it with ease ‘Cause I built this life from the cracks and debris They laugh ‘til it hits, then pretend they believed But I see through the cheers and the space in between
 So when the curtains close and the lights burn out Know I never folded—I just took the long route.

The Long Route

Cupid Don’t Miss

it's been a long time
since i last saw you
It seems like only yesterday
you were in my arms saying i love you 
and now time has brought us back together
no more games no more lies 
this time we gotta love it, just one more try

this time we'll do it all for love 
for love 

this time it's gonna be sweeter 
They say the second time around 
'cause my love for you 
grows stronger with everyday day

this time we'll do it all for love 
for love
