Come live in me

Yeah, the child in the mirror was homely
So he learned early on how
To switch into low-key
Little person, observant and accurate
Grew the skills to argue
And the passion to back it with
Kick over the blocks just to re-build them
Cause mom and pop used to pop
Sound familiar?
Daddy had to leave, but Mama kept hurtin
So we stepped up to help
Be an anger and a burden
And right around the same time
Started noticing girls
But they wouldn't pay him any mind
And if they ever did, he got nervous
You shoulda seen him practice on his
Hand for his first kiss
Even though he was too young
To hunt and gather
Hungry puppy had to learn how
To front and swagger
It didn't matter, it was all self-esteem
At 16, you only needed one on your team
And mom and dad was
Never gettin back together
So he was on some Baby we
Gon' make it last forever
Basically married right out of high school
Five years of gettin' high and
Fightin at a drive-thru
And when he hit 21, they made a son
But on his 22nd birthday
Their relationship was done
Now hes got a best friend instead of a wife
But he feels like he stole the
Best years of her life after that
It was one co-dependant to the next
A lotta love
A lotta hate and a little bit of great sex
Self learning in between the self-loathing
Strangled in a cycle
Can't feel yourself choking
Some of them would overlap
Some of them would double back
None of them deserved to be exposed
To the trouble that he posed
Strike one? Not even out of fear
He don't even do rough sex
You bite him and hes outta here
Make no mistake he puts the man in manipulate
And hes attracted to the
Women that reciprocate
Yall can kick karma till it's getting late
Until Mamas little drama is the
Topic of the big debate
And nowadays the confidence is off the page
Cause women are attracted to that
Clown on the stage
Hes only in town for a handful of hours
But Repunzel wanna come down and
Dance in the flowers
Wanna make a smile? Wanna make a laugh?
Wanna make up for the mistakes in the past?
Wanna act like he doesnt know better
If paybacks a bitch hell be in debt forever
Insecure, Impatient
Temporary gratification, self-validation
Thats what it's made of
Its all true and it's the only
Reason hes even talking to you
You can try to fix my broken wings
You can know all the words
To the songs I sing
But you don't need to know
Whats wrong with me
Unless you think youre gonna
Come home with me
You can try to fix my broken wings
You can know all the words
To the songs I sing
But you don't need to know
Whats wrong with me
Unless you think youre gonna
Come home with me
