Ce'j - Butterflies

I remember back in the day being in love
When no one could tell me nothing
Man they'd fit just like a glove
I thought they'd always have my back
Whenever push came down to shove
But then they showed me that was false
And that shit ended up a dub
So now
I'm on my own with nothing left to do but boss up
I moved to a new city and made sure I built my walls up
You can't play me for a fool
Because a fool is for the weak
Can't be worried about a nigga that ain't doing shit for me
Can you blame me for the fact that I'm just focusing on me
Can you blame me for the fact that you can't satisfy my needs
And don't go blaming for the fact that you caught feelings and I didn't
Cause I told you what it was
It ain't my fault you didn't get it
Let me backtrack
If you can handle that
We gone run it back on three
I got one goal
I got one dream
That's two things I'm tryna reach
That's three reasons to say fuck love
Cause only good things come in three's
That's money, power, respect
Don't forget to run it back on the beat
What up

You used to give me butterflies
The way you'd race right through my mind
No one could ever make me feel
The way you made love feel so real
And then you tore my world apart
And left me with a broken heart
You went and filled my head with lies
So now we're at goodbye
And now I'm after mine

Feeling all of the feelings that were felt in the beginning
Question all of the intentions
And whether you ever meant it
Did you really mean I love you
Or was it part of a sentence
Was it a genuine mention
Or something you was just spitting
When it comes to love I shouldn't have to question that
I shouldn't have to question if you'd take me to the moon and back
I shouldn't have to tell myself to push my pain aside
Especially if it's for someone who's stuck in matter over mind
Big facts
Big feelings
From beginning
Wheels was spinning
Double dicking me and all these other bitches
Getting too big for your britches
Who was it that you thought you was
Who was it that you thought you dubbed
How could you do all of these things
Still wrap it up and call it love
I'll never understand how I could tell you everything
Lay it all out on the line
And still you text me back like
What you mean
I showed my feels
You showed your ass
And now you begging for me back
You didn't treasure what you had
It ain't no use in being mad

You used to give me butterflies
The way you'd race right through my mind
No one could ever make me feel
The way you made love feel so real
And then you tore my world apart
And left me with a broken heart
You went and filled my head with lies
So now we're at goodbye
And now I'm after mine

Picture that
You begging for me back
And me knowing my worth
No longer lacking self-respect
No longer willing to be dealing with people that lack commitment
With love that be feeling distant
With someone that's inconsistent
I promised myself that I would never lose my way again
And that I'd never fall in love with someone I can't call a friend
That I would boss up on some big shit
That my glow would be some lit shit
When I make it to the top there ain't no stopping
On my ape shit
On God
And if you stepping to me better come with much respect
If you got something slick to say
Then keep that shit inside ya neck
I ain't the girl I used to be
But I'll still post up with ya team
Don't be confused when you're excused
And when you get just what you see
No time for fake shit
When I make it
I'm upgrading
Everything I ever hated
All the niggas shouldn't have dated
Talking big houses
Fast cars
Hollywood parties
Dancing with the stars
I'm just laying the foundations
Talking wealth for generations
Get at me
