Jabee - Dont Love You Back lyrics

rate me

I met a man walking home the other day

The brother told me

Wish I could do it all over again

‘Cause now I see

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Tryna stay focused on tomorrow

Live within my mean, paying portions, I don’t borrow

So I gave my whole life to it

Could’ve put a knife through it, should’ve been the life moving

Had the passion as a kid, rapping was the passion

Craft the magic with a pen

I guess my burden was the verbiage

Writing verses, never learning and burn the purpose till it’s perfect

Sometimes I wish I never heard finessing, bar code flowing

Hit the studio with Chris

My moms understand, my daughter’s too young

Maybe momma’s too dumb

Really just surviving, my head above the water, I guess it’s all just timing

Feeling all seems nice till you lose everything and reevaluate your life

I met a man walking home the other day

The brother told me

Wish I could do it all over again

‘Cause now I see

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Love all, trust a few

Put my heart in every verse, soul in everything I do

Lost friends over time

Hard growing up with folks to leave ‘em all behind

Yeah, never being home

My daughter’s getting big, I feel I’ll never see her grow

That’s the sacrifice I make, tryna tell a story, hope the sacrifice repays

I mean nobody ever told me, learnt on my own ‘cause nobody ever showed me

At home they talking about I made it now

I feel boxed in, hoping that I’ll make it out

I’m not from Harlem, I’m not from Compton

I’m from Oklahoma City rotten, tryna get it popping

Tryna please everybody, I never do enough, yo, I’m never good at nothing

I met a man walking home the other day

The brother told me

Wish I could do it all over again

‘Cause now I see

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

They saying love don’t cost

Tryna get a refund from the love that you bought

Everything happens for a reason

They’re all just happy dreams, happy when you sleeping

Spent life tryna blow

‘Cause struggle’s real life and hip hop is just a show

One time for Kris Kross, pissed off ‘cause when you gone

All they do is play a song

Somebody said I’m dope, my homies said no

They support me but they don’t

Probably wouldn’t talk if I didn’t rap

We hardly ever talk, what kind of friendship is that?

Wish I had the heart to tell ‘em, believe in me, give me my flowers while I can smell ‘em

One time for Kris Kross, pissed off ‘cause when you gone

All they do is play a song

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back

Don’t love you back
