Lyrics Don't Love Back - Jabee, Sean C. Johnson

Don't Love Back

I met a man walking home the other day
The brother told me
Wish I could do it all over again
'Cause now I see
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Tryna stay focused on tomorrow
Live within my mean, paying portions, I don’t borrow
So I gave my whole life to it
Could’ve put a knife through it, should’ve been the life moving
Had the passion as a kid, rapping was the passion
Craft the magic with a pen
I guess my burden was the verbiage
Writing verses, never learning and burn the purpose till it’s perfect
Sometimes I wish I never heard finessing, bar code flowing
Hit the studio with Chris
My moms understand, my daughter’s too young
Maybe momma’s too dumb
Really just surviving, my head above the water, I guess it’s all just timing
Feeling all seems nice till you lose everything and reevaluate your life
I met a man walking home the other day
The brother told me
Wish I could do it all over again
'Cause now I see
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Love all, trust a few
Put my heart in every verse, soul in everything I do
Lost friends over time
Hard growing up with folks to leave 'em all behind
Yeah, never being home
My daughter’s getting big, I feel I’ll never see her grow
That’s the sacrifice I make, tryna tell a story, hope the sacrifice repays
I mean nobody ever told me, learnt on my own 'cause nobody ever showed me
At home they talking about I made it now
I feel boxed in, hoping that I’ll make it out
I’m not from Harlem, I’m not from Compton
I’m from Oklahoma City rotten, tryna get it popping
Tryna please everybody, I never do enough, yo, I’m never good at nothing
I met a man walking home the other day
The brother told me
Wish I could do it all over again
'Cause now I see
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
They saying love don’t cost
Tryna get a refund from the love that you bought
Everything happens for a reason
They’re all just happy dreams, happy when you sleeping
Spent life tryna blow
'Cause struggle’s real life and hip hop is just a show
One time for Kris Kross, pissed off 'cause when you gone
All they do is play a song
Somebody said I’m dope, my homies said no
They support me but they don’t
Probably wouldn’t talk if I didn’t rap
We hardly ever talk, what kind of friendship is that?
Wish I had the heart to tell 'em, believe in me, give me my flowers while I can
smell 'em
One time for Kris Kross, pissed off 'cause when you gone
All they do is play a song
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
Don’t love you back
