Lyrics

[Intro] Life's a trip, yo Like, the whole elevator reeked of her perfume So the whole ride up, I'm havin' flashback after flashback after flashback [Verse 1] I hope you believe that I got good intentions I wanna believe in love without conditions But it's always such a competition Between the three of us and no one ever knows who's winning Fiddling with her bra in the mirror She said, "My dear, I'm just tire like a spare In an age where the gentlеmen are rare Jidеnna, you're not the type of man that women wanna share" Look at me, you can't even look at me You ain't wan' touch me, you ain't even wanna cook for me We so accustomed to the bickering and judgery We end up fuckin' to put an end to all the fuckery (Mad) Yeah, when you break up in polyamory You ain't just lose one lover, you lose a family Your base camp throw shade on you like a canopy If love is patient, it's a patient with insanity, but Who pities a man with two wives? Under one roof, I was living two lives I don't believe love's bleak before it's better Fuck, bittersweet shit is sweet before it's bitter [Chorus] Forget what you're told This is how it goes Sweet bitter Sweet bitter Forget what you're told This is how it goes Sweet bitter Sweet bitter [Verse 2] Princesses and queens, find kings to go hand in hand But you make kings and made me the brand I am You made me face the boy in the man I am That shadow work you can't avoid like a mammogram (True) Brave woman, sage woman, chief advisor Although I was older, always knew that you was wiser Your auntie was the type to make a drink before church Somehow you made the Ivy Leagues straight out of Leimert You were the first to introduce me to the poly life Liberated like we on the PCH on Harley bikes We had that orgy on the beach way out in Bali life And that barbecue right in the middle of safari life (Oh no) Young and naive, it's fun 'til it bleeds Brought our homegirl in like there would be some ease I ain't listen when you said she was too vanilla You had to draw the line when the sweet became the bitter [Chorus] Forget what you're told This is how it goes Sweet bitter Sweet bitter Forget what you're told This is how it goes Sweet bitter Sweet bitter
