[Verse 1]
A
I guess I'm fucking now
I'm getting used to it
E
It's cause I shine, and I ain't gotta use a crucifix
Bm
Fuck the fussing and fighting and arguing to this and that
E
And "Why you bein' mean to me Donald?" I never texted back
A
I know it's comin' quick, wishin' I could fast forward
E
Tell these nice girls they're the reason that I'm an asshole
Bm
Omega to alpha male because of that dollar bill
E
When I worked the mail room I ain't have a shot in hell
A
I called her ass for two months and heard shit from her
E
These girls couldn't care less when the chips under
Bm
The chips are up and on my shoulder, you heard me?
E
I take it out on girls who don't even deserve it
A
The Girls I tried to hit last year, I still might
E
Karmas a bitch who doesn't suck, but I still like
Bm
If we were kids I had the black K-swiss and reebok
E
If we were kids I wouldn’t act like this but we not
[CHORUS 2x]
A E
If we were kids
Bm E A
I'd want to give you everything that you would want
E
Those other boys
Bm E
They gave you toys, but all they wanna do is
A
Keep up
E
Keep up, keep up, keep up
Bm
That's all I want, keep up
[Próxima Parte]
E
Keep up with me, keep up
[Verse 2]
A
You made a mistake. These dudes man you bathing in apes
E
Finding you is like finding Asians I hate
Bm
But they say I got a fetish, nah I’m skipping all of it
E
Black or white girls come with a set of politics
A
That’s all I was saying, I’m a proud man
E
They wanna holla when they see your name on SoundScan
Bm
Her name Mercedes but she push a brown Focus
E
And she’s doing coke in front of me, but act like I don’t notice
A
"There any breakage in that Trojan?"
She see what she wanna see
E
So I make her take plan B in front of me
Bm
Women talk shit on men like all day
E
But it's Pete Wentz, goes both ways
A
They too busy stabbing hoes like OJ
E
They too busy trapping pros like Kobe
Bm
The only thing I put before me is do re
E
If you had told me the truth we’d be ok
[CHORUS 2x]
A E
If we were kids
[Próxima Parte]
E
Keep up with me, keep up
