Sal Houdini
I Can’t Pretend
[Verse 1: Jakob]
I believe in fate, it has to be true no other way to explain how I met you
Past events adding up, of you I cannot get enough, not seeing you for this long is getting tough
Everything I’ve said I meant, none of it I regret, any cost to see you is certainly money well spent
Used to lament, you’re just so pleasant, I’m not giving up on you because this is not lent
You told me you liked my songs and my lyrics
I rap all of these songs so that you can hear them
You brought out my spirits while we drank some spirits
Every night I dream that you’ll make an appearance
We talked and got close, but we still just friends
I just really wish our time did not have to end
I said you're an angel so I pray I get heaven sent
I can't pretend

[Chorus: Sal]
Tell me is he there for you, tell me is she your best friend
Tell me that you trust these people cuz it's not 100 with them no
Why did we come to an end, risk taking should be your friend
Gambling with my life over again, I can't pretend

[Verse 2: Sal]
I'm dropping soon, Drake dropping Views
Everybody dropping, you dropped the news
I take these souls cuz they well overdue
I'm taking checks it's all I ever knew, I still do
He not the man of the house
I'll come guns blazing I'll take his ass down
That man ain't shit, he ain't bringing no bread
One of my n***as might take off his head
If they after you leaving no choice for the boy
How you got me here singing out my voice
How you tell me two days later you ain't the one
What if I fucked you and left you alone
What if I fucked up your home
You and your man ain't meant to be (no,no,no, no)
I got some questions just answer your phone

[Chorus: Sal]
Tell me is he there for you, tell me is she your best friend
Tell me that you trust these people cuz it's not 100 with them no
Why did we come to an end, risk taking should be your friend
Gambling with my life over again, I can't pretend

[Outro: Sal]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
All I ask is are you n***as is to not slack
All I ask is when you tell me you gon text back
Don't keep a n***a waiting, tell me you won't text back
Cuz now you got me frustrated now we on that oh
No reason for you to get so angry
I'm only asking you to chill thought that we was family
I only ask that you don't flake when you say you got me
Don't tell me last minute shit and my boy just have me know
You don't choose these n***as over us man
Ditch us while you chillin' that's sus man
You choosing strangers that you bought over us fam
And you're the one got a chick and you work
It's been two weeks where the fuck y'all at
You make a n***a feel at home, what the fuck home at
Y'all n***as talking bout we family and we go way back
But I don't see no fucking family if I must say that (oh)
This shit is every season
I'm really fucking heated I got every reason
I get fed with all these dreams but I don't never see them
You supposed to be role models, I won't ever be it
I won't ever be it
No no, I won't ever be it
Yeah yeah, I won't ever be it
Oh no, I won't ever be it
