[Intro]
(oh oh oh oh oh)
(la da da da da)

[Hook]
I tried, you tried, we tried
All of the times that we had together
We should of known nothing last forever(X2)

[Verse 1: J. Cole]
When this [bad word] end, man it's gon get ugly
Real real ugly, your grandmama love me
And your mama love me, little sister hugs me
Even got a few homegirls that wanna [bad word] me
Soon as this [bad word] end, forget about it
You been stayin' in my crib, you gotta get up out it
Cause if you layin' in my bed, let's admit about it
One time [bad word]  and we no longer upset about it
Cause when this [bad word] ends it's either all or nothin'
I thought you loved me, how the [bad word] you gon call ya cousin?
You know the diesel [bad word]  half slow, evil [bad word] [bad word] in that Honda showin' up with that drama
On my mama, we been through it all
From the goods to the bads, rise to the fall
You done seen me at my best, seen me at my worst
So when this [bad word] ends, know it's gon hurt

[Hook]

[Verse 2: J. Cole]
They say we won't last
I know you suspicious, but you don't ask
And I don't tell, that's where we both fell
good [bad word] gone bad
Good chick a lil mad as [bad word]  she done had enough
I be, out here tryna raise my status up
But success bring [bad word]  and they bad as [bad word] [bad word] fat as [bad word]  with a little ol' waist
I ain't want the whole meal, just a little ol' taste
Should have looked both ways fore I crossed you
I guess I never thought I could have ever have lost you
Now I'm out stuntin' with this [bad word]  you ain't about nothin'
While some [bad word] learnin' all the [bad word] I taught you [bad word]  guess you deserve that, a new start
But deep down you know we grew apart
Long before I broke your heart, if I lost your respect
I'm just hopin' you don't look at me as you somethin' you regret

[Hook]

[Verse 3: J. Cole]
I got your message I been meanin' to respond, know it's been awhile
Apologies, I ain't been around
I wanna kick it, but I know that [bad word] is different now
And times have changed
Let me know if I'm out of bounds, are the lines the same ?
I mean ya, lookin' good, yeah you still got it
Been reminiscin' and I'm not sure how I feel about it
Now we can say that all good [bad word] to an end
But we know each other way too well to pretend
We went from friends to somethin' much more
To breakin' up to makin' up and [bad word]  once more
Second chances, we gave enough to finally
We gave it up, but some days I be wakin' up and wantin' one more
But what for ? maybe it's just the weather
We break each others heart's, so maybe it's for the better
Holler whenever, cause you always got a friend in me
And nothin' lasts forever, least we got these memories

[Hook]
