[Intro]
(I wanna love you) What the fuck is love?
Don't nobody know what the fuck that shit is
I wanna love you (Adre, light 'em up)
(Yozo got that heat)
(We'll be together) I want that, that white picket fence, love
That Barack Obama and Michelle Obama love
I want that, that Ike and Tina love, that, that hold my nina love
That nothin' come between us love (Yeah, yeah, you know?)

[Verse]
Tell my BM I'm sorry, I couldn't give you love
Let me give you my background and how all this shit was
Pops had left me abandoned, Mama, she want a family
Grandad Cudi got AIDS and I'm almost livin' with Granny
Twelve years old I was cryin', Lord knows my mama tryin'
Moved mе to South Carolina with daddy, he always lyin'
Steady stuck in his ways, workin' minimum wage
Mеt a woman out here, she had twins and look how they raised
Watchin' him love somebody else kids, shit too fucked up
That's when my heart got cold and I felt like I couldn't trust none
Thirteen in North Carolina, now I'm in seventh grade
Middle school West Millbrook, had hoop dreams but never played
High school, I went to Sanderson, and me and Mama, we homeless
Shawty locked in the feds, right now, shit was movin' slow-motion
Ninth grade, I got into a fight and broke his nose
Then they switched me to Rolesville, this story nobody knows
I was raisin' three kids, shawty fightin' a bit
I'm just turnin' fifteen, we tryna get it how we live
My whole life, it seemed love would never seem to come to close
Every time I thought that it did, then it just went ghost
Own family hatin', thinkin' and contemplatin'
Like, "Why the fuck am I here?" Then, I met ya and had a baby
I know this life shit ain't sweet, I know I treated you bad
Just please don't take my son and allow me to be his dad
To the man who'd come after, she deserve the world
And if it's me, I'm thankful and happy that you my girl
This ain't for likes, I love you, wanna kiss you and hug you
Always know you can call me and know that I'm comin' for you
Soon, I go get a therapist and we'll speak to each other
In hopes one day we rekindle and we catch up like mustard
Hope you see my intentions was never to put you under
'Cause no one in this world come above you
Sincerely, you understand?
[Outro]
Hell, some people, n***a, I swear to God
I–, n***a, we was homeless, sleepin' inside of a minivan
Six of us (Is this love?) livin' inside of a motel (Is this love?)
Shit wasn't sweet, we was livin' inside of a motel, bro (Is this love?)
My sister went to prison for three years, I raised three kids (Is this love?)
At the age of thirteen, bro (Is this love?)
That's what I'm sayin' (Is this love?)
Nah, bro, it's not about–, it's not about–, look
I'm sayin'–
(Is this love? Is this love?)
