Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Alright

[Verse 2]

It's been a year since we broke up

And half of it I wasn't sober

Emotions bottled like a soda

But I'm doing well so far

They say I got the city on my shoulders

But honesty, I'm losin' focus 'cause I used to know love

But now I'm used to no love

It's just meaningless sex, like how we was the hold up

I remember the first time that we fucked with no glove

I mean, that shit was so risky, we didn't act like grownups

But even though it was risky, I still think we showed trust

We were one with each other then

When we spoke, we spoke us

[Verse 3]

But I became a loner

Started neglecting your love

Too many celebrity bitches were hangin' on my scrotum

And that shit went to my head

I should have kissed you instead

I started givin' the side bitches your side of the bed

That shit was so disrespectful and I didn't have an excuse

I look myself in the mirror like, dawg, what happened to you?

You told this woman you loved her and then you promised her joy

She just needed a man, you behaved like a boy

Manipulated her mind, baby, I got you confused

It's high time I admit I wasn't ready for you

[Verse 4]

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you

It was me

Baby girl, I wasn't ready for you

[Verse 5]

Yeah, I always hear about you

They tell me you doin' well

They say you bought a new house

They say you got a new man

I hope that he's a good man

I hope he's nothin' like me

I hope he won't have to suffer for my incompetency

I hope that you learn to trust him despite the things that I did

I know you saw through the lame excuses and all the lyin'

They taught me never to chase women, but rather finance

Although there's truth in that statement, man, I was misguided

[Verse 6]

To think that woman of no value only valued money

And only valued diamonds

Our woman are the diamonds

Our woman are the diamonds

Our woman are the diamonds

Our woman are the diamonds

Our woman are the diamonds

We know we can't get a ride with bad bads while we choose

To glorify all the bullshit that we put good women through

Manipulated your mind, baby, I got you confused

It's high time I admit I wasn't ready for you

[Verse 7]

I wasn't ready for you

Damn, I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready

It was me

Baby girl, I wasn't ready for you

[Verse 8]

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 9]

Bet you felt like I ignored you

I just wasn't ready for you

All this fame just isn't for shit

If I can't have you in my fortress

We both turn pictures like a windmill

It's all said and done, yeah, the milk spilt

I admit it, I admit it, you'd be here still

Had I kept it hunnid, had I been real

[Verse 10]

Look at what you did now

I'm so proud of how you live now

Got a man and copped a crib now

Probably plannin' for a kid now

You deserve it, always deserved it

I was still learnin', you were just perfect

I liked her sermon, I never earned it

Girl, was it worth it, worth it?

I'm in the zone now

Hot on my zone now

Still stackin' up dough now

I can't blame it on youth, I'll tell you the truth

[Verse 11]

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

You

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

I wasn't ready for you

[Verse 12]

Girl, yeah

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

I wasn't ready for you

I wasn't ready for you, yeah

I wasn't ready for you
