I was in the wrong time, and right place
And I never should've looked into your face
And I always thought that we could maintain
And I never meant to cause you no pain
Why I always gotta feel bad to feel good?
Why you always got to talk back, when you shouldn't?
I don't got no time for problems, I'm good
And I only want to progress, like you should
There's no going back and forth now, no banging on the door loud
All these 4:00 a.m. fights got me pourin' out
Tryna rip my soul out, god told me hold out
I'm on the road to pay my rent, you said I sold out
I'ma stick around until it's cold out here
You're either with me or against me, I'ma stand out (yeah)
'Til death I know you'll miss me at the end of the year
But the truth is just something that you should not fear
I was like right time, right place
And I know I take a look into your face
And all I think is we can maintain
And I never wanna cause you no pain
Why I always gotta feel bad when you're good?
Why I always gotta talk back when I shouldn't?
We ain't got no time for problems, when we should
Man I only want to progress, like we could
There's no going back and forth now, no banging on the door loud
Up at 4:00 a.m. laughing on the floor now
Tryna get my soul out, but god told me hold out
I'm on the road to pay the rent for our own house
'Cause we gonna stick around until it's cold out here
You're either with us or against us, yeah, we will stand out (yeah)
'Til the death, I know I'll kiss you at the end of the year
See the truth is just something that i'll never fear
I was like wrong time, wrong place
Can't you see that fucking look in my face?
When I always thought that we could go and maintain and make changes
Never meant to ever go that way
But I don't feel bad, I feel good
I don't ever got to talk back, like I should
We don't really got no problems, we good
Man we only got our progress, we good
