TITLE: “AIN’T FOOLIN’ ME” [INTRO — SPOKEN] Yeah… Funny how you can know something’s wrong and still keep trying to make it right. That ain’t loyalty forever. Sometimes that’s fear of letting go. [HOOK] I ain’t fuckin with the fake no more, Love came knockin’, lies came through the door, I kept givin’ while they kept takin’ more, Now I know what I should’ve known before. No revenge, I just tightened my game, Quit confusing my heart with somebody else’s shame, I was pointing every finger, had to look at my frame, Now I walk out clean — you can keep the blame. [VERSE 1] I was blinded by potential, fell in love with a draft, Saw the warning in the margins, still convinced it would last, Every promise had an expiration date attached, I kept patchin’ up the boat while you was drilling through the raft. That’s on me — yeah, I finally admit it, Kept accepting half-love just to say that I was in it, Made excuses so convincing I believed ’em when I said ’em, Had the evidence stacked, still defending the defendant. Cold game, but the lesson got value, You can’t rescue somebody who don’t want what you hand ’em, And love ain’t supposed to mean abandoning your standards, I was setting myself on fire trying to keep somebody warmer. Now the rearview tiny, windshield panoramic, Peace got expensive, so I stopped giving samples, Used to chase explanations, now silence is the answer, Sometimes losing who you wanted is exactly how you find you. [HOOK] I ain’t fuckin,, with the fake no more, Love came knockin’, lies came through the door, I kept givin’ while they kept takin’ more, Now I know what I should’ve known before. No revenge, I just tightened my game, Quit confusing my heart with somebody else’s shame, I was pointing every finger, had to look at my frame, Now I walk out clean — you can keep the blame. [VERSE 2] Look — I ain’t innocent either, I was addicted to the cycle, Chaos felt familiar, so I mislabeled it survival, Every breakup temporary, every comeback automatic, Two people pushing buttons like we built the whole machine. I mistook intensity for intimacy, Mistook jealousy for proof somebody needed me, Mistook fixing every crisis for responsibility, Whole time my own boundaries needed emergency surgery. That realization sting worse than betrayal, When the mirror starts talking, there ain’t nowhere to bail, I could make you the villain, make myself look prevailed, But a one-sided story is a comfortable jail. So I broke that lock. Stopped watching your moves, started watching my thoughts, Stopped asking what you lost, started counting what it cost, Every hour, every doubt, every line that I crossed, Now my discipline stronger than the love that I lost. [BRIDGE] I don’t need you to hurt. I don’t need you to fail. I don’t need the whole world to believe my side of the tale. I just needed the courage to stop calling chains love. Sometimes walking away is what growing up does. [VERSE 3] Now I move like a man who remembers the price, Trust ain’t given out twice just because somebody cries, Words cheap — I need patterns, consistency, time, If the math don’t add up, I ain’t rounding the lies. Still got scars, but they sharpened perception, Pain taught pattern recognition, Used to call every setback rejection, Now I call it redirection with expensive tuition. Yeah. I can miss what we had and still know it was wrong, I can love who you were and keep moving along, That’s maturity — two truths living inside one song, Heart broke, backbone grew, now the foundation strong. So this ain’t revenge music, this is closure with bass, This is owning my mistakes without carrying your weight, This is finally understanding what I couldn’t back then: You don’t win by making somebody lose — You win when you don’t lose yourself again. [FINAL HOOK] I ain’t fuckin ,,with the fake no more, Love came knockin’, lies came through the door, I kept givin’ while they kept takin’ more, Now I know what I should’ve known before. No revenge, I just tightened my game, Quit confusing my heart with somebody else’s shame, I was pointing every finger, had to look at my frame, Now I walk out clean — You can keep the blame. [OUTRO — SPOKEN] Some people teach you how to love. Some teach you where your limits are. Both lessons cost. Just don’t pay twice. 10 dubble Yea Yea
