By My Side ft. Envii Benjii Lyrics

By my side

You was really down to ride

But all this time

You wanted to leave me behind

Should've told the truth

But all you did was lie

I wasn't even shocked

Not even a bit surprised

Slow and steady doesn't win the race

All it does is show me

How much time I waste

Could've been doing better things

You played me like the strings

On a guitar

We took it too far

In the bar

Taking shot after shot

You knew the whole story

Had me thinking I was making my plot

It was time to clock in but the slot was filled

Promises unfulfilled

Should've kept it real

You got me chasing after you

But I got asthma

Slow like lava

But I upgraded

I'm fast as magma

Chasing something but banana peals

Got me slipping

And falling

So I can't get up

Even though at times I'm hurt

I just can't give up

Shooting shots you blocking like Mutombo

I'm feeling like a dumbo

Sitting rolling that gumbo

So I could fall asleep

But in my dreams we meet

So I don't fall asleep

And I just can't compete with everybody

They're about to check in

It's the inside of a hotel lobby

And even though I feel just like a donkey

It's just another day at work

So just pass me my coffee

By my side

You was really down to ride

But all this time

You wanted to leave me behind

Should've told the truth

But all you did was lie

I wasn't even shocked

Not even a bit surprised

Always there for me

You always care for me

But when I needed you most

You wasn't there for me

Just wanted honesty

You broke the prophecy

I just wanna know

Why did you lie to me

You took the truth and flipped it

Pretty lies thought you were different

Emotionally scarred

I played my part

But remained oblivious

I Thought we were serious

But you made me delirious

Played me for a fool Aint have a clue

We met at school.

Didn't learned my lesson

Sent me into a deep depression

Like a hair braider had I split in my heart in sections

For my own protection

Told you many secrets

Please use discretion

Like Megatron

She used deception

Infiltrate my heart

Girl you so smart

Fool me once may fool me twice

But imma keep it moving

Roll the dice roll it twice

Drinking liquor is my vice

If I take a couple shots

Forget about you for the night

Reminiscing on the pain

But I'm moving on to better

True love is pricey

I can't afford it

But they gon come around

When they see me on the Forbes list

Bank account enormous

New shawty gorgeous

By my side

You was really down to ride

But all this time

You wanted to leave me behind

Should've told the truth

But all you did was lie

I wasn't even shocked

Not even a bit surprised
