We Can Either Burn In Flames Or Be Water
I’m Tryna Be A Better Man For My Daughter (Fact)
Tryna Think Broader, But The Way That I Was Brought Up Had Me Colder
I Let Some Good Ones Get Away From Me
Rather Let You Go Than Let You Sit Around And Wait For Me
But For Now, I’ll Be Sitting Here Patiently
I Don’t Play With You, So Don’t You Play With Me (Yeah)
