[Verse 1]
Aye
Double entendre when I say that we lost touch
Now it’s “Hi, what’s been happening, not much”
Like I remember when we’d snap and flirt all day
Caught you smiling when you’d spot me in the hallway
Got a beautiful body and personality
But I’d take it back if I knew who you were about to be
Got me confused when I look at you
Little girl thinking that she’s grown cause she’s doing shit she shouldn’t do
Part of me takes blame, question myself “Why
Couldn’t I keep you the same after all this time?”
Never told you but sometimes I cry
These aren’t bars, I’m just speaking my mind and it happened to rhyme
Didn’t matter if I wasn’t straight cracking your spine
But nowadays if it ain’t cracked, that’s a surprise
It hurts more cause you’d tell me what you’ve been through
And then I’d take your mind off it with stuff we got into
I kept you waiting when you liked me, was a bit rude
I apologise for putting your heart through misuse
The fact I was scared doesn’t make it an excuse
Now it’d be embarrassing if I told you I miss you
But that old you is a goner
It’s sad that you rely on drugs to cope with your trauma
But I’m not mad at you, I just wish I could’ve helped
But it is what it is and I can’t help but think that
[Hook]
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow

[Verse 2]
Remember those dumb ass promises we made?
I would’ve stuck to em if you stayed
But uh, okay I get it, you didn’t wanna wait
Cause every single day you’d hang on you were in pain
Thinking I was playing you
And looking back, yeah I kinda was, I’ll say the truth
But I didn’t know what I had til you were gone
And in a sense I’m glad cause my flaws had my back to wall, the process was long
I came out a better man for you
But I was too late, you had better plans for you
Now we jump to present, been a year or two
And not once since then did I hear from you
Late nights in bed thinking if you think about me
And even if you’d still wanna be around me
Got mixed feelings cause you used to be a lady
But now I heard you’re crazy on D and that persuaded me, that
[Hook]
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow

[Verse 3]
Halted my course like a script block but I wasn’t pissed off
I kid not, didn’t kiss and tell when our lips locked
Recall that you were scared that people’d think that you’re a slut
But now I hear you’re a psycho who likes to smoke and hitch cock
Probably tell me that I’m, just jealous
And maybe a little bit, but that’s, not the message
My faint perception only gave you aggression
You never came to address it, looked like a stain on a dress and you would cover that
Cut from a different fabric
And that’s why it pains me to see you pick up smoking habit
Possibly over reactive, but you know I ain’t acting
But I played my part in this action
Just wish I had a different role for you
Robbed my heart like Julia, wanna grow old with you
The fact I wasn’t makes me sick; no cold and flu
If you didn’t switch, I’d bet I’d still fold for you girl
[Hook
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow (Aye one more time)
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
Shame you grew down into a fucked up hoe
People don’t change, they only just grow
