[Pre-Chorus: Anderson .Paak]
You need to stop, breathe, think
Before✦ you say the wrong thing
And I wish I could stay the night
But I feel some type of way about✦ it
I've been stayin' up late
Thinking✦ about✦ this day (Yeah)
And I wish I could stay the night
But I feel some type of way about✦ it, aw yeah
[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]
And it's all bad (All bad, all bad)
I might have to just fall back, fall back
Damn, I hate to take a loss (Man, I hate to take a loss)
Damn, it hurts to take a loss
It's all bad (All bad, mmh)
You got some problems✦ that I just can't solve, no, no, no
Damn, I hate to take a loss
Damn, it hurts to take a loss (Take a loss)
[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]
I don't love you, girl, that's far from true
Even✦ took you to the barbecue✦
That should show how I much I fuck with you
I know I gotta✦ make the choice, shit is overdue✦
I had to let you off, might have to take a loss
I might have to take a loss, take a loss
I kinda✦ like it when I'm far from you lately✦
I'm kinda✦ fed up with the bullshit you do
[Refrain: Anderson .Paak]
You need to stop, breathe, think
Before✦ you say the wrong thing
And I wish I could stay the night
But I feel some type of way about✦ it
I've been stayin' up late
Thinking✦ about✦ this day (Yeah)
And I wish I could stay the night
But I feel some type of way about✦ it, aw yeah
[Verse 3: Nas]
Yeah, since Guess was spotted on my denim pockets
And my wave grease would amaze✦ geeks and freeze fly chicks
Where they stood, I never✦ lost the steps, stay splashin'
Not one of these just got money,✦ not knowin'✦ how to act
New to these bad ones,✦ I was on fly chicks since junior high
Beautiful fly girls caught my eye
Takin'✦ down some of the girls Drake and Future✦ took down
But I got no time for juveniles throwing tantrums
Texting me that they hate my one-word answers
Here's✦ two, call me, this is you stalling
Guess we through, you ignore✦ me, days go by
Missing you be the worst, play the game, who gon' hit who first
Checking my Yachtmaster,✦ Pac blaster✦
Wonder✦ why they call you bitch, empty✦ shot glasses
Scrolling back on the thread, the nice things you once said
Look at us now, it's all bad
[Chorus: Anderson .Paak]
Aw yeah, and it's all bad
You know I might have to just fall back, fall back
Damn, I hate to take a loss (Man, I hate to take a loss)
Damn, it hurts to take a loss (Oh)
It's all bad (All bad, all bad)
You got some problems,✦ I can't solve 'em all, uh, uh, uh
Damn, I hate to take a loss (Man, I hate to take a loss)
Damn, it hurts to take a loss
[Outro: Anderson .Paak]
Damn, I love it when you talk to me crazy✦
But who the fuck you think you talking to?
