LYRICS

I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, I try
But I’m havin' the worst luck on Tinder
Ooh, why'd you have to be a big pretender
I try, and I try, and I try, I try, I try
To give you somethin' good, 'cause I know you would
Give it to me, too

I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
Said I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you

But you lie, and you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie
Oh, it’s the 47th time that I've changed my number
Should call you Mannie Fresh ’cause you's the number one stunna
You lie, you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie
I gave you somethin' good, 'cause I know you would
Give it to me, too

Don’t date these niggas 'til you're 43
A heartbreak gonna creep on after me
I try to cover up what I feel inside
You hurt me so deep and I...

You know, life is too short to be blockin' your blessings like that, to be blockin' potential blessings, like... yeah, you may never get married again, you may never find the love of your life again, but, hey, that's life. And please don't be in a situation where that person's tearing you down mentally, emotionally, physically, y-we've heard it a million times. I think emotional abuse is way worse than physical, sometimes. 'Cause that just fucks up your whole mind. You could develop whole disorders like that—whole disorders. You guys, tell me why this old nigga from my past hit me up, talkin' bout some... "Is your name Courtney? Did you go to Poplar Tree, in the first, second, and third grade? And you had like a lightskin sister? And you, um, you had a crush on me?" I was like, "Yeah, that sounds like me," but my thing is, like, nigga, like you feelin' yourself. You're feelin' yourself a little too hard, talkin' 'bout "you had a crush on me." Nigga, yes, at like, fucking seven. Relax, relax.
