Lyrics

Now I remember, uh
when talkin' took on a different definition
it's like, "ahh, y'all talkin'!" and it's like, "nah..
we just textin' between class, you know what I'm sayin'?
yeah, she lowkey my girl, ha"

and I wasn't really gettin' down like that in high school,
but...it starts to change over time
it takes on a whole 'nother meanin' you know what I'm sayin'?
this joint for the...play girlfriends


Verse 1

Uh
Back in the day
used to always have you laughin’, we play
under the covers, some wannabe lovers
bought so many rubbers, my pockets was slayed
started off hot and heavy,
once I got to know you better, I pulled up that lever
you was plottin’ on forever and evers,
wasn’t ready had too many endeavors
but you was smart
you had ya own money, never looked bummy
even in sweats, you was stunnin’, and sunny
my standards is high and that’s all yo fault
mmm, yo body in the dark
lightin’ everything, providin’ all the spark
reminisce, when we was walkin’ in the park
really really had me open

Hook

We used to talk
we used to talk, ay (4x)

Why we don’t talk no mo?
gahh damn gahh damn (4x)


Verse 2

Back then, had me on the phone all night
talkin' 'bout dreams, aspirations
if you ain't for real then it might...surface
all the things I'm s'posed to get
details stick wit' me 'cause I listen on purpose
you decide where we go next
been plannin' out dates for a minute
ain't embarrassed, if I'm in it I'll buy you the Kotex
man, it coulda been us
wonder how it's gonna end up
I'm movin' on, I know you got another man
on standby w/ a big truck
and a 401k that'll make it feel like an upgrade
talmbout me and my bae
baby it's a privilege to be on my plane
jumped out tho, I can't blame you
it's real simple...
can he make you feel like
dreams start turnin' into real life
told you I'm tryna write..
you said it take time, and you kinda right
don't stress, work hard when you got less
i loved watchin' you when you got dressed
had me thinkin' I was on top of the world
I got blessed, wasn't made to last, I digress
huh

like...you know that girl you used to talk to
that, uh...if you didn't run into everything would be different?
that was her bro, that shit was a mistake!

hold up
relationship, blown up
not gon’ fall back and start cryin’ just to meet yo quota
‘member that counseling session, did everything she told us
every man think he POTUS, he ain’t shit without the FLOTUS
oh my gawd, give us free, chains slippin’, Amistad
my visage, clear lately huh, hate me for my flaws
that applause from a sea of people cover imperfections
I’m investin’ in my Future, Mom don’t trust you, I’ll shoot ya
got no future rewind, better days, I call her, she comin’
ain’t had no car, she drive to me, I’m all in her stomach
she tell all y’all, reputation got big clout
junior year on that twin bed, my dorm room like a Penthouse
can’t wait ’til this gets out, listenin’ ‘cause you curious
next up, get furious
you hot, I’m in a new spot
bedroom got two locks
on the door and my chest now
ain’t breakin’ with a SWAT Team
full of cheerleaders wit’ the best mouth
swear to God I’m the best out
you saw sparks in me
ain’t stay to see the fire, like “he gon’ probably retire”
ceiling can’t get no higher
had a vision, no buyers
now they wallets is open
3 exes in 3 weeks, text me
what the hell you smokin’?
issa no from me dawg
sendin’ y’all my regards
confessions in a rap verse
don’t pray much, but I see God
we past tense, but…
I admit that sometimes
wish we worked out, but that ain’t gon’ happen
…we used to talk tho

yeah, we used to
we used to
ay, we used to
