Zero (feat. Meek Mill)

I don't mind

Rushin' through traffic, just to get dinner ready in time

And I don't mind

Callin' when I'm late, just to give you peace of mind

And I don't mind

You stayin' out all night long, hangin' with the guys

But I do mind

When you look me right dead in the eye and you tell me lies

You see, it pays to tell the truth

And look at what you had to lose

Should think before you do

Did you not know the rules?

You see, it pays to tell the truth

Feel so sorry for you

You coulda had it all

Too bad you gotta fall

Now you leave (Now you leave with zero)

Nothin' (Now you leave with zero)

Nada (Now you leave with zero)

You see, it pays to tell the truth

But you didn't do it (Now you leave with zero)

Nothin' (Now you leave with zero)

Oh, nada (Now, you leave with zero)

You see, it pays to tell the truth

Oh, why I tried

Givin' you chances just to get your act right

And I, I tried

Everything from prayin' to breakin' things, to gettin' out of line

Those tears I cried

They hurt so deep inside, they almost drained me dry

But now it's time for you to man up

'Cause I'm takin' back what's mine

You see, it pays to tell the truth

Look at what you had to lose (Look, look at it)

Should I think before you do? (Think before it)

Did you not know the rules?

You see, it pays to tell the truth

Feel so sorry for you (Feel so sorry)

You coulda had it all

Too bad you gotta fall

Now you leave (Now you leave with zero)

Nothin' (Now you leave with zero)

Nada (Now you leave with zero)

You see, it pays to tell the truth

But you didn't do it (What, what) (Now you leave with zero)

Nothin' (What, what) (Now you leave with zero)

Oh, nada (Now, you leave with zero)

You see, it pays to tell the truth

I lie just to protect you, never to disrespect you

'Cause what we have was so .38 Special

And it was times that I heard **** test you

But I ain't even ask, I was just waitin' to catch you

But you caught me and e'rything was on me

It was time to face the music, e'rything was on key

And them lies sounded good, didn't it? Know you sick of me

Now I'm supposed to leave with zero, is you kiddin' me?

One minus one equals none

And if you gon' leave, then you might leave with some

But you gon'  think about me every time you see my son

And I'ma think about you every time I see the sun in the mornin'

It's gon' be times we get caught up in the moment

But don't turn your back on the man belong with

'Cause if you lose, then I lose too

But if you cool, then I'm cool too

Now you leave (Now you leave with zero)

With nothin' (What, what) (Now you leave with zero)

Oh, nada (What, what) (Now you leave with zero)

You see, it pays to tell the truth

But you didn't do it (Now you leave with zero)

Oh, nothin' (Now you leave with zero)

Oh, nada (Now you leave with zero)

You see, it pays to tell the truth, oh
