Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yo, Mary
I want you to talk to 'em like you supposed to
Come on
[Verse 2]
Lookin' for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm lookin' for someone to love me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm no angel
There's so much I can take
Calm down, patience
Don't lose your temper, hold on, wait
I got issues just like you
Sometimes I get so confused
I'm strong, but I can break
I be prayin' so hard to get through the day
Bad thoughts in my mind I can't shake
Havin' nightmares in the day, can you relate?
[Verse 3]
Please somebody come and wake me
I can't let this cold world take me
I was lookin'
[Verse 4]
Ayo
Ayo, turn me up
[Verse 5]
My drama, my karma
My love, my life, dear mama
The wars I've fought, scars that I've garnered
The hustle, I got that honest from my father
Mix me with violence, blend me with peace
Combine me with hate and I can't face defeat (Nope)
I did it all in a week
Still incomplete as I stand on my feet
It take a lot to still dance to the beat
Skin more cold and callous than concrete
I love swimmin' but there's just one ski
In a rich man's cheap hotel with bed sheets
Uh-uh, you know what I'm lookin' for
[Verse 6]
Lookin' for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm lookin' for someone to love me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Check it)
[Verse 7]
It's my life, my life, word to Mary
**** can't **** with me, virgin Mary
Go ahead, make my day, dirty Harry
Weezy, **** the world, pop ya cherry
Everybody pushin', but I don't fall back
And everybody lookin', but blind to the fact
The clock on the wall say it's time for some action
Now you could take that to the bank and cash in
I'm feelin' myself, **** if they feelin' me
Can't spell them without me
It's them or me
Yesterday was a memory
Lookin' in the mirror at my enemy
But today I'm
[Verse 8]
Lookin' for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm lookin' for someone to love me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
My rise, my falls
Enemies wanna see me crawl
My ups, my downs
Y'all know I've been around
But sometimes it bothers me
When I hear people say a non-truth
Am I sane? Am I crazy?
Pick one, they're all the same
In this world we're livin' in
I'ma make mistakes, I'm only human
I was
[Verse 10]
Lookin' for someone to love me
I'm-I'm-I'm-I'm lookin' for someone to love me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
Feel the bass
Can you feel it?
