Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
I get it
I get it
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Why would I say all these things to have you feelin' a way?
Why would I tell you I'm thirty away if I'm not on the way?
Why do I settle for women that force me to pick up the pieces?
Why do I want an independent woman to feel like she needs me?
I lost my way
[Chorus]
I'm searchin' for these words to say to you
Please give me time
'Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you
Oh, please give me time
'Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you right now
Redemption's on your mind when you think about me, yeah
Redemption's on your mind when you think about me, yeah
[Verse 2]
Run your mouth, I'd rather listen to someone else
I gave your nickname to someone else
I know you seein' someone that loves you
And I don't want you to see no one else
I don't want you here with no one else
I don't wanna do this with no one else
I used to know you back when you was young
Your brother brought me through, you saw me
That made me think of you so differently
I miss the feeling of you missing me
But you say you're over and done with me
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Now redemption's on your mind when you think about me
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
Redemption's on your mind when you think about me
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
Redemption's on your mind when you think about me
Aw, please give me time
'Cause I'm searching for these words to say to you right now, yeah
[Verse 3]
Say to you
But eighty percent of it was the truth, yeah
Say to you
That Mercedes coupe that you're still drivin' was for me and you, girl
Really gon' spend the winter with this other ****?
Act like he's really the one to get through it with you
Cliqued up with Jessica, Kim, you know that I'm bound to see you
And they both say that you're over and done with me
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
They say redemption's on your mind when you think about me, yeah
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
Redemption's on your mind when you think about me
Aw, yeah, yeah, yeah
Redemption's on your mind when you
Aw, please give me time
'Cause I'm searchin' for these words to say to you right now
[Verse 4]
I'm not unrealistic with none of my women
I tell them if they ain't with it, then let's just forget it
Relationships slowin' me down, they slow down the vision
Guess I'm not in a position to deal with commitment
Certain people need to tell me they're proud of me
That mean a lot to me
Not having closure, it take a lot out of me
This year for Christmas, I just want apologies
Sydney gave up on me when I went missing
Syn had a baby and treated me different
Erika sued me and opened a business
Wonder if they wish it could've been different
[Verse 5]
Wonder what they'd do put in my position
I wonder when my shit drop, do they listen?
Wonder if they're second guessing they decisions
I hate the number two, that shit is unforgiving
Tryna satisfy everybody
It's like they can't get enough
Until enough is enough
And then it's too much
You tip the scale when I weigh my options
West Palm girls are spoiled rotten
Tiffany on you, you know you poppin'
I'll kill somebody if they give you problems
Master bedroom where we get it poppin'
Just ignore all the skeletons in my closet
I'm a walkin' come up, I'm a bank deposit
Sell my secrets and get top dollar
Sell my secrets for a Range Rover
Opportunity and temptation
They would sell my secrets for a tropical vacation
Sell my secrets back to me if I was payin'
Who's gonna save me when I need savin'?
Since "Take Care", I've been caretakin'
But second chances, that ain't how you livin'
Redemption on your mind, I'll never be forgiven
[Outro]
Yeah
I know
