uzeaux - same.guy

Surprise, surprise
I'm not who you thought I was
Can't take me nowhere
I don't know how to act
Or maybe I do but not actin' like it
Or maybe I just be actin' like it
And so if it all was just an act, then you were right to roll
And maybe I deserve an Oscar for ever givin' you hope
But really, manipulators don't deserve that much credit
You ain't gullible, I ain't tryna hear it
Really, you're just brave cause you saw the best in me and I took advantage
All the grace you showed me, I threw it back in your face
That's collateral damage
I'm a coward
You don't have to understand it, that's all the clarity you need
I self-sabotage cause I'm afraid
Jaded
I ain't thinkin' straight
Faded
Tryna get away from sober thoughts
It's a miracle you survived every time we ever fought
Run as far away from me as you can
I almost broke you but that really wasn't the plan
You can't fix me
And I know it's tearing you apart
Cause I'll never change, I wear my stripes with pride
And I know the game, that's why I try to pace my strides
It's a marathon
I never sprint but I'm quick off the blocks
I'm on the phone with Sprint, knowing you got me blocked
No surprise, you're sick of my shit
I think carefully before I disrupt your peace but
I'm selfish like that
And inconsistent
Knew I'd get you back cause you like persistence
But I'll never change so really what's the difference
And you'll never get far
And we ain't goin' nowhere cause I'll never go the distance
And really that's a bar if you listening
But you only see potential
So you're never really seeing me
And how I'm nothin' special
Just the same guy, repackaged
Say I turned over a new leaf but I just changed sides
Thinkin' I'ma change for you, that's suicide
Goin' back and forth pointlessly
Just to be back in the same spot
Take agency just as quick as you take shots
Say that you gon' ride for me
Really you're stuck in a cycle
You gotta be accountable, you knew that I was toxic
I came with a hazard label
So many red flags, thought you was at a blood convention
Can't even front though, me and you had a blood connection
Like we the same type
You said I changed but I'm the same guy
Really I think you thought I changed but I'm the same
I get it, you ain't mad that I changed
You mad that I didn't
And that's a tragedy, you thought we had potential
I just loved that you were holdin' me down
But I was holdin' you back
And maybe it's selfish but at least I got to hold you
And it meant everything
And I meant everything I ever told you
But I ain't the one you need to hear it from
Quit tellin' yourself the same lies
Run away girl, it's the same vibes
Cause I'm still where you left me
Chillin' with the same guys
