Better Off Lyrics

(Verse 1 - AB):
I ask her
Why you blaming me?
When people ask what happened, why are you framing me
They ask who, stop naming me
Stop faking, stop hating, stop pointing fingers
Claiming big egos are typical of DJs, rappers and singers
Trying to rule out it was your fault
While my heart was teared, you never cared, like you hid your emotions in a locked vault
Baby tell 'em what you think, go ahead
I'm moving on, thinking about her instead
The end of it got me dizzy felt like I couldn't see
I'm the DJ, yet the tables were turning on me
Get it? Probly not, because you never listen, which is probly the reason our separation grew so distant
Trying hard to recover, yet I know I probably can't
She's got my head in the clouds and I don't know when it will land
Forget it ever happened, I guess that's what I gotta do
So when people ask "who," I'll stop naming you
Like you I'm lonely too, but you don't have a clue, of what I go through so come and let me show you
Fake smiles, running miles, chasing things that don't seem real
So I'm sitting here, writing songs to show you how I feel
Staring at my phone waiting for her to send a text
Yeah, those other girls are good, but I just want the best
So maybe you can tell me when or if that's gonna happen
Until then, i'll be in your headphones softly rapping
I'm waiting for that apology to be sent to me
I'm sick of her acting like she's not even a friend to me
This heartbroken mind state's an unfortunate entity
I'm hoping for a chance to turn these dreams into memories
(Hook - JL)

(Verse 2 - MM):
We done been through everything, from heaven onto hell
But was it all worth it? Only time could tell
That new man you got, he ain't gonna be there long
And you'll be right back to me, yup, once he's gone
Put my hands through my hair, sitting frustrated
You think this was my fault? Quit, girl, who you playing?
Blaming me? I don't even know what I did
When I gave you Derek roses, you gave me the same Bull shit
This one's on me? Not me, not never
Keep hurting myself, but I'm moving on for the better
You scream, I scream, things start to get heated
But the end is the worst: we both just end up defeated
You got cold like the wind, Northface and North pole
But I got like Santa and got 3 hoes
Now your pushing, your shoving girl, please don't bring me here
Never hit a girl, but I'm fighting back these tears
I'm sick of the secrets and I'm sick of the lying
Had the right watch, but just the wrong timing
Nights spend consoling you, consoling you and holding you
Something's gotta be controlling you, now tell me who's provoking you
Who brought this misery, who brought this pain
I playing in this game, figure out who's to blame
Through this experience there is one thing I learned:
I'm not close to it and you ain't damn near perfect
When my truth emerges and comes up from the surface
You made my life, you made it all worth it
