Boy Lyrics

Trying and doing ain't even cousins

When you went and broke our family tie

It wasn't nothing heavy

Feather work from an undercover fairy

And you blame it all on "cause I wasn't ready"

A likely story, Another story alike

We heard a million times

Guess I'm one of them types

Knew better but didn't do it

It was one of them nights

Copping pleas about you need somebody

Treating you right

But you forgot to say - right now

The silence never been so loud, I tell it pipe down

Got me out here searching for my innermost child

Cynical & twisted, You knew that

I don't know how I missed it

Could be the way you kissed it

Maybe I was slick whipped

Maybe I was caught up in the healing of a misfit

Just understand, I understand a lot more since

I lived through it

An honest man who didn't do it, doesn't need to prove it

Boy

I should have listened to my mama cause she never wrong

You was looking for a Nia Long to treat her wrong

You would only chase the bag to get to beating on it

And I had to pay, nobody giving me the profit

Now you calling and you need to stop it

I don't believe in bullies changing I'm just being honest.

Boy

Maybe bully to bullshit

But so much for a change

Seeing that's what you came with

Waving the white flag, oh so that's what you bang with

No apologies, I can't homie up with those who lie to me

Homies fuck, give a fuck

Just because you lie with me

Oh

Oh they thought because you drive my whip, you ride for me

Oh you thought because you got the keys

That I'ma leave

The door ajar for you to walk in without wiping feet

Boy

For every punch I pray to god you learn to bob and weave

Boy

If not Solange, Lorena Bobbitt on call for you

Boy

Bad habits, all because of little accidents

Shouldn't be hard to get, ain't talking with no accents

Lucky I learned to keep composure way back when

Boy
