lyrics

If I knew you were going to quit
I wouldn’t have put up with all your tired bullshit
If I knew you would choose your dick
I wouldn’t have schooled you in my world and politics
And what do I get now
What do I get out of this wreckage
And what do I get now
What do I get—
I want my time back
I want my hype back
I want my advice back
I want mine I want mine
I want my cred back
I want my friends back
I want my respect back
I want mine I want mine I want mine back
If I knew that you were adulting
I would not have spared your little feelings
If I knew you were going to ghost
I would have ditched your ass a long time ago
And what do I get now
What do I get out of this wreckage
And what do I get now
What do I get—
I want my time back
I want my hype back
I want my advice back
I want my I want my
I want my cred back
I want my friends back
I want my respect back
I want mine I want mine I want mine back
Back when I look back (back)
I wish I kept track (track)
Of all the things you’ve taken
Facts are not abstract—

You cannot pay me back
Cause we’ll never be even
if i knew you were comfy bein a dummy,
i would not waste my breath
i would run the other way
unmatch disconnect i’m
not disposable
and i say it with my chest
tell me who i have to be
to get some reciprocity
climbing up a Hill -for what?
you’re fuckin with my energy
you
        stuck in reverse
a
        colonial curse
you intimidated cos
i hold the universe
i am magic
and it’s tragic
how you refuse to grow
you trampled on my garden
all the seeds i sowed put it
all on the table
you stay a no show
i just want my time back
i just want my mind back
you don’t see the mirror
reflecting all of your harm back
baby you’re projecting
on this bridge called my back

it’s not abstract
it’s facts
land back
I want my time back
I want my hype back
I want my advice back
I want my I want my
I want my cred back
I want my friends back
I want my respect back
I want mine I want mine
I want my tears back
I want my peace back
I want my ideas back
I want my I want my
I want my cash back
I want my half back
I want my best friend back
I want mine I want mine I want mine back
