[ Verse 1 : NovA ]

You
You said
You're tired of being alone
Tired of waiting for your king,there's fire beaming the throne
Introspective speculations, you quiet,deep in your zone
Out there playing hard to get, try leave your feelings at home
Playing hard to get ,the mindset, I don't get it its hard
Law of attraction,you find criminals,queens that's setting it off
Latifah,watch the throne, playing jesters a craft
Which you want a n***a to have, to make you feel good,medicine cart
And all of your girls got men
But most of the worlds rotten
Lonely, your friends man with you alone so he holds your ass
Girl forgot to lay the culdesac

[ Hook 1 : NovA ]

That is not the way
That is not the way
He's got no heart,he's playing robot
Red hot, you need to stop before he goes hard
Cause when he does I see you coming
But that is not the way
That is not the way
(Well)At first you thought he's tripping
But you didn't tell your women
Now you mad at yourself cause
That is not the way

[ Verse 2 : MK Priscoe ]

You think you bad cause you thick,I curse that figure
But now I figure,you never had a father figure
Product of a one night stand, I think you bitter
Used your dad as an excuse to your bad behaviour
Mama overlooked your misdemeanour,now you think you've grown
Make-up and late nights are all your specialities
Especially when you find a dude that balls in quantities
You just a rip off,then again you did it just to switch off
You switch on,you wanna switch off,the cycle never ends
Poverty stricken,money restricted
Realised that this ain't paradise or Barbie when you played house
Now all you do is play house without a wedding ring
Any n***a at the door,you yelling come in
(Ahh) Next thing you know
He's coming
You carrying burdens on your back
Mileage on your feet
Your life is summer time in hell cause

[ Hook 1 : NovA ] (MK Priscoe)

(That is not the way)
(I said)(That is not the way)
He's got no heart,he's playing robot
Red hot, you need to stop before he goes hard
Cause when he does I see you coming
But that is not the way
That is not the way
(Well)At first you thought he's tripping
But you didn't tell your women
Now you mad at yourself cause
That is not the way

[ Verse 3 : NovA ]

If I broke and broke up with this girl of 13 who would I be hurting
That same girl round her peers saying she's a virgin acting nervous
Seeing guys she realized this ain't really worth it
Her best friends man got plenty whips
He twenty-six ,semi-rich but she is
Blinded by the money she ain't splurging
Virus emerging running through her system
Fast-life catching up to her chasing age
Same shit I'd think about when I'd blaze with Jay
Getting high ,flying paper planes
Well that's where they landed
How you think they're addicted cause the get their fix when you're damaged
All you do is take naked selfies to sext him inside the toilet
That ain't healthy,you don't see where the point be, you don't give a damn shit
I just wonder how you manage
For all the little girls who just wanna grow up too fast
Wanna take the next step every time you reach a new class
By the time you at the right age,there won't be any left
Taking lifts with car n***as cause you take too many steps

[ Hook 2 : NovA ]

That is not the way
That is not the way
I know you're tired of the walking
Seen the tyres as an option
Haven't got enough sense to pay the tollgate
That is not the way
That is not the way
And if that car got GPS
I'm sure you'll hit a freaky left
Girl not aware of her rights but
That is not the way
That is not the way
I said that is not the way
That is definitely not the way

[ Verse 4 : NovA ]

Well...Well
You posted pics they used to like but now they hardly click
So you're sick and captions don't match it so you post body pics
Sell yourself out to quench the thirst,sold from no pimp
R.I.P to a girl I once knew with no condolence
Doing some dumb shit with a smartphone,Picmix or Instagram it
Shit won't help you win a marriage,in fact its finna crash it
I look but I'm quick to pass it,one question I'm always asking is
How you're less in love with yourself than the love you're demanding
Wish the next time you upload a pic,showing loads of tits
Throw your skin in front of the camera, I hope no-one clicks
Til' you get embarrassed to the point that you remove it
And think it was the timing so you post up a new pic
And get 1 like from your ex who usually use to tap it
Said he's had enough of you ,send around videos saying you ratchet
But... I...I shouldn't judge you
We all attention seekers til' you get someone to love you

[ Hook 3 : NovA ]

That is not the way
That is not the way
I say
Let love find you,like you found your heart in you
Girl you shouldn't even be tryna let your skin loose
That's not the way
That is not the way
And if he was your Romeo
Emotions should be your only show
Give him a good reason to stay
But that is not the way
I said that is not the way
