The Pretender - Russ

We made our work at the shoe store

I’m at the the mall, near the food court

I know I probably shouldn’t shoot for it

But her accent had me feeling like it’s do or

Live with regret wondering «What if?»

So I picked her up, copped a quarter, got some blunts lit

Wasn’t tryna rush it, we was just chill

Listen to my music while cruising through ATL

Under the late night spell, anything could happen

And when it did it was lights, camera, action

Started out laughing but she ended up crying

In between the yelling and the cheating and the lying

I told her that «I'm trying but I’m on my college shit»

When I get back we gone talk about this blonde chick

Home please don’t leave, I need more time

I told her «Even though I’m gone don’t acknowledge it»

We can just pretend, yeah

That I ain’t even gone

Baby girl, let’s pretend

Yeah, so let’s pretend

That I ain’t even gone

Baby girl, let’s pretend

Yeah

Yeah, go 'head and rock that little ponytail

She said she won’t give me head but she’ll show me tail

You know me well, not well enough

But you’ve always been a rider so you get it rough

And baby this ain’t apple cider in my cup

Sometimes I toy with her emotions just to wind her up

My light is up, the sun is down

Too many questions so I’m giving her the runaround

Like I don’t know when I’m gonna see you

She believe’s my lies, I’m just hoping she don’t see through

My life is like a movie, I’m still getting through the previews

All she want is time but my time is a

That’s a Jew so my presence is a gem

But let me see those ruby red lips getting in

She love’s the smell of Gucci on my neck

Let’s pretend this life ain’t mine and this night won’t end

Let’s pretend, yeah, yeah

And let’s pretend

That I ain’t even gone

Baby girl, let’s pretend

Yeah, we can still pretend

Yeah, they say «It's good when you get it"and I got it

Little Latino rolling around, blowing chronic

I know her name but I won’t say it, she’s psychotic

She would probably try and stick her hands in my pockets

And I would probably try and stick her man in a coffin

I know that we planned to find love but we lost it

Used to hit the park after dark, I would talk shit

You would giggle as I scribbled all over your conscience

Rolling paper places, come and lay down in my cockpit

Says she’s never done it, but she says she want’s it

I tell her «You're too good for a first time novice»

She tells me that «It's love, that’s her word, it’s her promise»

I tell her «No way chica, chica just be honest»

She tells me that I’m lying

I say «You're being modest»

But fuck it anyway because it’s over, I should stop this

Yeah it’s over, I should stop this

But we can still pretend, yeah

That we ain’t even gone

Baby girl, let’s pretend

Yeah, so let’s pretend

Yeah, and let’s pretend

Let’s pretend
