As soon as I enter the crib, I'm sensin' a bad vibe No welcome home kisses, even though it's been a while And you tryna' play it off but I can see clear through the mirror I'm lookin' straight at your face boo and it's missin' a smile 'Cause your girlfriends say they spotted me, exchanging some kisses with some bitches Up in my business while exchanging some digits (But you know) That these chicks are vindictive, they trippin' any chance they get (And I know) Everything we've been building breaks if it gets through your head (We go) From trust to issues to what I do after shows I always got an excuse to not come home And you always got an excuse to look through my phone and hate on every person that I meet on the road She says things are not the same in so many ways I've been rollin' with some snakes since my trendy days And she never let it phase but that's what she says That they offend me with envy, right through the Fendi shades

For real) I just want to sit and chill with ya' Listen to build with ya', gettin' to know what's the deal with ya' But you miss the picture baby 'cause you're tellin' me you're hurt (Word) I hurt you so you hurt me back so I can feel with ya' Things are not the same in many ways You go on and on and on 'cause nothing's the same I ride along, along, along there's nothin' to gain But I'd throw away the fame, anytime, anyday
We've been through too much to let it all just slip away (Slip away) Remember how I used to be a shelter in the rain (In the rain) And I know that I've been wrong, just let me make it right Baby won't you come back home, if only for tonight I will (I will) cherish every moment you're here (You're here) Still
