I Been - Ari Lennox, Smino

I’ve been smokin' purple haze, ooh

All to forget about you

I’ve been smokin' purple haze, ooh

All to forget about you

And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try, I try

But I’m havin' the worst luck on Tinder

Ooh, why’d you have to be a big pretender

I try, and I try, and I try, I try, I try

To give you somethin' good, 'cause I know you would

Give it to me, too

I’ve been smokin' purple haze, ooh

All to forget about you

Said I’ve been smokin' purple haze, ooh

All to forget about you

But you lie, and you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie

Oh, it’s the 47th time that I’ve changed my number

Should call you Mannie Fresh 'cause you’s the number one stunna

You lie, you lie, and you lie, and you lie, you lie

I gave you somethin' good, 'cause I know you would

Give it to me, too

Don’t date these niggas 'til you’re 43

A heartbreak gonna creep on after me

I try to cover up what I feel inside

You hurt me so deep and I…

You know, life is too short to be blockin' your blessings like that,

to be blockin' potential blessings, like… yeah, you may never get married

again, you may never find the love of your life again, but, hey, that’s life.

And please don’t be in a situation where that person’s tearing you down

mentally, emotionally, physically, y-we've heard it a million times.

I think emotional abuse is way worse than physical, sometimes.

'Cause that

just fucks up your whole mind.

You could develop whole disorders like

that—whole disorders.

You guys, tell me why this old nigga from my past hit me

up, talkin' bout some… «Is your name Courtney?

Did you go to Poplar Tree,

in the first, second, and third grade?

And you had like a lightskin sister?

And you, um, you had a crush on me?»

I was like, «Yeah, that sounds like me,»

but my thing is, like, nigga, like you feelin' yourself.

You’re feelin'

yourself a little too hard, talkin' 'bout «you had a crush on me.

«Nigga, yes, at like, fucking seven.

Relax, relax.
