Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take it or leave it, it's what you're owed
Not okay
He could make you think you're someone else
Headaches, always, always
[Verse 2]
Somethin' to hold onto, while you do, change all you do
For a place, yeah uh, uh
Take it or leave it, it's what you're owed
Not okay, uh, uh, uh
[Verse 3]
Choose to ignore blues
Somethin' to get in your way, uh
You choose to stay (You choose to stay)
You choose to stay (Oh)
[Verse 4]
Nauseas and feelin' so weak, can't smoke if I do not eat
Knees weak at thirty-three, late nights, but don't text me
Swallow, but want to scream, I want the lifestyle for free
[Verse 5]
Choose to ignore blues
Something to get in your way, uh
You choose to stay (You choose to stay)
You choose to stay (You choose to stay)
You choose to stay (Oh)
[Verse 6]
I want the lifestyle for free, I want the pussy for free
An arm around me to grieve, a sleep, without sweat and me
My self doubts in a tweet, my mood rests on coffee
Try to understand me, try to understand me
[Verse 7]
Nauseas and feelin' so weak, can't smoke if I do not eat
Knees weak at thirty-three, late nights, but don't text me
Swallow, but want to scream, I want the lifestyle for free
