Lyrics

[Intro]

Once I left your crazy ass, I took a therapy session

I won't be richest with the wealth, I'll be the richest in blessings

I said

[Verse 1]

You made a bet today

Said, "I can't leave my bed today"

You tap me on my chest today

Wanna rear your head on a better day

Black dog, black dog

You be barking, barking

I always saw yo ass as a hindrance and you saw me as a target, but

[Chorus]

Wait

Could this be true?

I don't need you

I don't need you

Ah

[Chorus]

Wait, wait

This is true

I don't like you

I don't like you

Ah

[PreChorus]

Can't you see I'm rich?

[PreChorus]

Same tricks

How'd you do me like that?

Running off with my bag

Same tricks

You ain't shit

How'd you do me like that?

Running off with my bag

You ain't shit

[Chorus]

Wait

Could this be true?

I don't need you

I don't need you

Ah

Wait

Could this be true?

I don't like you

I don't like you

[Verse 2]

I said yo ass is stinky

And you built like a mole

And I'll boot yo ass to London if you can't take a stroll

I'll feel better (Better)

I'll be awesome (Awesome)

When you stop jogging on my dome (Jogging)

Goddamn

I said

[Chorus]

Wait

Could this be true?

I don't need you

I don't need you (Goddamn)

Ah

[Chorus]

Wait, wait (Wait)

This is true

I don't like you

I don't like you

Ah

[Bridge]

Just wait in the hallway babe, I don't like the smell of broke

[PreChorus]

Can't you see I'm rich?

[PreChorus]

Same tricks

How'd you do me like that?

Running off with my bag

Same tricks

You ain't shit

How'd you do me like that?

Running off with my bag

You ain't shit

[Outro]

Wait

Could this be true?

I don't need you

I don't need you

Ah

[Outro]

Wait

Could this be true?

I don't like you

I don't like you

Ah

[Outro]

Could this be true?

I don't need you

Don't need you

Ah

Could this be true?

I don't like you

I don't like you
