Lying to my face

Lyrics

Yeah…
You had me fooled for a minute, girl…
But truth got a way of cutting deeper than a blade…

[Verse 1 – rap, Kevin Gates flow]
Said you wanted me, but you slid to his room,
Told me you love me, but your actions resume.
Whole lotta nights I was prayin’ for trust,
You was prayin’ for lust, I was dyin’ for us.
Got me talkin’ to God with a fist in the sky,
Like “why give me wings if I can’t even fly?”
All of my plans went and burned in the fire,
All of my dreams turned to pain and desire.

[Hook – sung, Jelly Roll]
You been lying to my face,
Smilin’ while you hide the blade.
I gave you my soul, you threw it away,
And now I’m stronger in my pain.

[Verse 2 – rap/sung blend]
I built a future with my blood in the bricks,
You tore it down quick for an act full of tricks.
Could’ve been forever, could’ve been a crown,
Instead you the reason I’m broken right now.
But I promise my child gon’ know who I am,
I’ll teach ‘em the truth, I’ll show ‘em the man.
I’ll carry this hurt, I’ll carry this weight,
But I won’t let your lies decide my fate.

[Hook – sung]
You been lying to my face,
Smilin’ while you hide the blade.
I gave you my soul, you threw it away,
And now I’m stronger in my pain.
