When It Hurts

Lyrics

[Intro] I said "Even when it hurts", I said "Even when it hurts" Even when it hurts, even when it hurts Would you still put me first, even when it hurts? (Even when it hurts, even when it-) [Verse] Damn, remember when it was just an idea? It's kinda crazy how we made it here All the pain, hard work and blood, sweat and tears All the bros that we lost how we wish was here I don't like surprises, well, I just hate the stares I know these bitches ain't shit that's why I stay prepared My ex tried to make me jealous thinking that I cared Forgetting 'bout the last bitch that took what was here Yeah, hard for me to really hurt (For real) I wish me and Brit could make it work See in her mind think I'm puttin' other bitches first I just wonder who she'll fuck once I'm the dirt See, I watched Myiesha and know she really love my brother He was dead for a year, she found another lover, damn You can't control nothin' when you gone And it's only so long, now, I'm on so enjoy the moment Ain't it crazy how the brain work? Success is nothin' wit' no pain first A couple million right, now, is what my name worth I love my nigga much it's like we got the same Earth Watch niggas, they in a disguise Loyalty 'til the end who in for the ride? Xanies and them perks got a nigga fried It's like Medusa if you ever lookin' in my eyes Closest I'll get to Heaven is my kids 'Cause I know I gotta answer for the shit I did (I know) My hands too dirty for Him to forgive (I know) I mean, it is what it is Don't understand how I'm still blessed I'm just tryna stop my mother's stress Take care of the kids and the ones that my brother left So, if you tryna stop that, you better come correct She like "Albee, why I ain't meet your mother yet?" 'Cause you'll never last wit' the ones my mother met I used to sneak outside while my mother slept I pro'lly made a hundred thousand on my mother's steps, yeah Truth be told, that's a truth be told Truth be told, that's a truth be told She said "Albee, don't you lie to me", I said "I love you girl, honestly" This is how it gotta be, I know you gettin' tired of me I be getting tired of me, it hurt to see you cry to me How long would you ride for me? And see me as your prodigy? Yeah, I know you love me, but love is like a lie to me So many people lied to me, it took so much up outta me I'm drained... I'm drained And I don't mean to put you in the same bucket But how I protect myself and just saying fuck it? Hypothetically, your love is just ahead of me And I'm just tryna be a better me, me The same thing that make you laugh, could make you cry The same thing that make you quit, could make you try I see them tears in her eyes And it hurt me 'cause I'm the reason why, I'm the reason why Why I'm still like this? I know love ain't 'posed to feel like this, it make me feel like shit Maybe it's best for us to separate How much you really love me? She don't hesitate Maybe it's best for the both of us Why you speaking up for both of us? Albee, boy, I know what's up I don't know it all but I know enough You acting like it ain't no hope for us And I gave you all of me You ignoring me like I ain't show enough Boy you grown but you ain't growing up I know... I know I know... I know But this love shit you gotta brace yourself 'Cause if another person cross me I'mma hate myself And you pro'lly don't wanna hear it Cursing me out, thinking I'm careless, thinkin' I don't feel shit But I would die for you, that's real shit You know all the pain that I dealt with? The pain I dealt with All this pain that I dealt with, all this pain that I dealt with Would you still put me first? (Would you?) Would you still put me first? Even when it seems it don't work? Even when it seems like it won't work? Would you still put me first? (Would you?) Even when it hurts...
