What About Us Lyrics

I hate yo friends
Diggin' in my life and what I do wit all my ends
Deadly combination, feel like I'm datin' twins
Couple questions for ya, before this all begins
Baby what about us...what about us
Have ya thought about me, and you, together
Promised that we'd always stay down for whatever

Our first time, we got down in the back, ain't slowed it down since
Fast lane lovin', then elevated up the ground went
Them chickens is like the clown prince
Tryna keep my baby tied to these other niggas
Steerin' me wrong, laughed when I found Dent
And way too many hours spent, explainin' myself after yo fabrications
They pants is burnin' like a perm after the activation
N I'm actin' patient 'cause I know they yo friends
And you think they got yo best interest at hand, but that depends
If all them women is solo then you don't fit in that photo
They messed wit' the wrong niggas now they tellin' you to bolo
Well, tell 'em to mind they bidness, 'cause all my fucks is evicted
I'll say this to all they faces, I swear, god as my witness
They interferin' wit' real love, tryin' they best to build up
Imaginary walls between us, wit' cracks sealed up
My diamond in a sea of rhinestones
I couldn't lose you, if I did then my mind gone trust
They tryna crush a couple years of dedication
We set this on fire, n they tryna cut the ventilation
I guess what I'm sayin' is fuck the world outside of me n my lady
Just look me in my eyes, and you tell me I'm goin' crazy, n I'll fall back
Chorus

I hate yo friends
Diggin' in my life and what I do wit all my ends
Deadly combination, feel like I'm datin' twins
Couple questions for ya, before this all begins
Baby what about us...what about us
Have ya thought about me, and you, together
Promised that we'd always stay down for whatever

Verse 2

I guess that makes me self-centered, right
Cause all yo friends jealous as far as I can tell it
You they Beyonce, be hatin' 'cause they ain't rockin' fellas
And they told me, if you break her heart gon' need a doctor well it's
A little past due, cause I lay it down and I have her opera yellin'
And by my surveillance, their misery just wants company
Cause underneath that exterior, frustrated bumblebees
They pissed off 'cause they ain't pollinatin' shit
Them callin' you hoe is like pigs teasin' the bacon strips, so just ignore it
They in love wit' me or you, I don't know which
My lady got me open, uh, Superman wit Lois, uh
And you surrounded by a buncha villains like the Joker, what
You want me to do girl? shed that weight like you Oprah
They dead to me, cause all they do is talk shit and remain single
Either they PMS every second or they bad people
Let's go with the first, benefit of the doubt
But I ain't leavin', I'll give y'all some time to figure that out
And get yo act right cause
(Chorus)

Ya friends really ain't feelin' me, but so what
They ain't tryna see you get it in, wit ya toes up
Hatin' non-stop, uh, major cock blockin'
Tryna keep us from that real love, make 'em kick rocks, uh
