How Could You lyrics

[Intro]
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
(You know them n*ggas ain't me, and them b*tches ain't you)
How could you, how could you do it
(How could you do this sh*t without me?)

[Verse 1]
I do a lot of sh*t but I can't do without you
I told you that I got you, I know everything about you
Mama told me don't f*ck with her, I went against my mama
I went against my partner, they can't keep me from her
I know we been through some thangs that made your energy change
You know this industry contains things that we would never
We would never let this sh*t come swallow us
Remember us, we came from riding on that MARTA bus
We came from watching movie theaters, I'm on that movie screen
How could you not see everything other people see in me?
They put me on TMZ, they put me on BET
You should see the star in me, 'cause that's what I am startin' to be

[Chorus]
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
How could you sacrifice what we got and let it die?
How could you ever say that you tired and you ain't try?
This sh*t here mean a lot and I can never tell it bye
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
How could you sacrifice what we got and let it die?
How could you ever say that you tired and you ain't try?
This sh*t here mean a lot and I can never tell it bye
[Verse 2]
How could you let them tear down everything that we built?
I took you off that Uber, you used to ride with Lyft
Any time the police ask a question plead the fifth
Any n*gga put his hands on you, we gon' get him killed
Poppin' bottles in the VIP, baby it's a celebration
How he worth twenty M's and he ain't got an education?
I sold bars on probation, sold dope inside the halfway house
You know I was halfway out, I still was tryna help you out
I sacrificed my freedom just to see you straight
You know I went against my people just to see your face
How you gon' listen to them folks say that you deserve better
They ain't doin' good themselves, why you listen to what they tell ya?

[Chorus]
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
How could you sacrifice what we got and let it die?
How could you ever say that you tired and you ain't try?
This sh*t here mean a lot and I can never tell it bye
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
How could you sacrifice what we got and let it die?
How could you ever say that you tired and you ain't try?
This sh*t here mean a lot and I can never tell it bye

[Verse 3]
I'll do anything to put that smile on your face
Ever since you left I been feeling some type of way
You ain't never gotta race, you forever in first place
I'ma make this home run and forget about first base
Every night I go to sleep, you know I dream about it
It ain't a second in the day that I don't think about it
I cannot think without it
Remember you told me you'd never leave
I know it's hard to see but that pus*y controlling me
How could you even go a day without hearing your n*gga voice?
It's best to keep the sh*t you got then to think about what you lost
It's best to fence a broken heart, don't be givin' the heart away
This sh*t here make them n*ggas soft, f*ck with me in the harder way
[Chorus]
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
How could you sacrifice what we got and let it die?
How could you ever say that you tired and you ain't try?
This sh*t here mean a lot and I can never tell it bye
How could you think that I really want to see you cry?
How could you sacrifice what we got and let it die?
How could you ever say that you tired and you ain't try?
This sh*t here mean a lot and I can never tell it bye
