When It Hurts - Albee Al

Damn, remember when it was jus an idea?

It’s kinda crazy how we made it here

All the pain, hard work and blood, sweat and tears

All the Bros that we lost how we wish was here

I don’t like suprises, well, I just hate the stares

I know these bitches ain’t shit that’s why I stay prepared

My ex tried to make me jealous thinking that I cared

Forgetting bout the last bitch that took what was here

Yea, hard for me to really hurt

I wish me & Brit could make it work

See in her mind think I’m puttin other bitches first

I just wonder who she’ll fuck once I’m the dirt

See I watched Myiesha and know she really love my brother

He was dead for a year, she found abother lover, damn

You can’t control nothin when you gon

And it’s only so long now I’m on so enjoy the moment

Ain it crazy how the brain work

Success is nothin wit no pain first

A couple million right now is what my name worth

I love my nigga much it’s like we got the same Earth

Watch niggas they in a disguise

Loyalty til the end who in for the ride?

Xanies and nem perks got a nigga fried

It’s like Medusa if you ever lookin in my eyes

Closest I’ll get to heaven is my kids

Cos I know I gotta answer fa the shit I did

My hands too dirty for Him to forgive

I mean, it is what it is

Don’t understand how I’m still blessed

I’m just tryna stop my mother’s stress

Take care of the kids and the ones that my brother left

So if you tryna stop that you betta come correct

She like Albee, why I ain meet ya mother yet?

Cos you’ll neva last wit the onces my mother met

I used to sneak outside whIle my mother slept

Prolly made a hundred thousand on my mother’s steps, yea

Truth be told, that’s a truth be told (x2)

She said Albee don’t you lie to me

I said I love you girl, honestly

This is how it gotta be

I know you gettin tired uh me

I be getting tired uh me

It hurt to see you cry ta me

How long would you ride for me?

And see me as your prodigy?

Yea I know you love me but love is like a lie to me

So many people lied to me

It took so much up outta me

I’m drained (x2)

And I don’t mean ta put you in the same bucket

But how I protect myself and just saying fuck it?

Hypothetically your love is just ahead of me

And I’m just tryna be a better me, me

The same thing that make you laugh could make you cry

The same thing that make you quit could make you try

I see them tears in her eyes

And it hurt me cos I’m the reason why, I’m the reason why

Why I’m still like this

I know love ain 'posed ta feel like this, it make me feel like shit

Maybe it’s best for us to separate

How much you really love me? She don’t hesitate

Maybe it’s best for the both of us

Why you speaking up for both of us?

Albee boy I know wassup

I don’t know it all but I know enough

You acting like it ain’t no hope for us

And I gave you all of me

You ignoring me like I ain’t show enough

Boy you grown but you ain’t growing up

I know (x4)

But, this love shit you gotta brace yourself

Cos if anot her person cross me ima hate myself

And you prolly don’t wanna hear it

Cursing me out, thinking I’m careless

Thinkin I don’t feel shit

But I would DIE FOR YOU THAT’S REAL SHIT

You know all the pain that I dealt with?

The pain I dealt with

All this pain that I dealt with (x2)

Would you still put me first? (x2)

Even when it seems it don’t work?

Even when it seems like it won’t work?

Would you still put me first?

Even when it hurts…
