Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can see it in your eyes, you're angry
Regret got shit on what you're feelin' now
Mad, 'cause he ain't like me
Oh, you mad, 'cause nobody ever did it like me
All the care I would take
All the love that we made
Now you're tryna find somebody to replace what I gave to you
It's a shame you didn't keep it
Alisha, Catya, I know that you gon' hear this
I'm the man, yeah, I said it
Bitch, I'm the man, don't you forget it
The way you walk, that's me
The way you talk, that's me
The way you got your hair up, did you forget that's me?
And the voice in your speaker right now, that's me
That's me, and the voice in your ear
That's me, can't you see
That I made it, yeah, I made it
First, I made you who you are, and then I made it
And you're wasted with your latest
Yeah, I'm the reason why you always getting faded
[Chorus]
Take a shot for me
Take a shot for me
Take a shot for me
A shot for me
Yeah
A shot for me
[Verse 2]
Okay, look, I'm honest, girl, I can't lie, I miss you
You and the music were the only things that I'd commit to
I never cheated, for the record, back when I was with you
But you believed in everything but me, girl, I don't get you
She says, "I know you changed"
I never see you, 'cause you're always busy doing things
I really wish she had a different way of viewing things
I think the city that we're from just kinda ruined things
It's such a small place, not much to do but talk and listen
The men are jealous and the women all in competition
And all your friends telling you stories that you often misinterpret
And taint all the images of your Mr. Perfect
I could tell that you been crying all night, drinking all summer
Prayin' for your happiness, hope that you recover, uh
This is one I know you hated when you heard it
And it's worse, because you know that I deserve it
[Chorus]
Take a shot for me
Take a shot for me
Take a shot for me
A shot for me
A shot for me
[Outro]
May your neighbors respect you
Trouble neglect you
Angels protect you
And Heaven accept you
