[Intro]
Life's a trip, yo
Like, the whole elevator reeked of her perfume
So the whole ride up, I'm havin' flashback after flashback after flashback

[Verse 1]
I hope you believe that I got good intentions
I wanna believe in love without conditions
But it's always such a competition
Between the three of us and no one ever knows who's winning
Fiddling with her bra in the mirror
She said, "My dear, I'm just tire like a spare
In an age where the gentlеmen are rare
Jidеnna, you're not the type of man that women wanna share"
Look at me, you can't even look at me
You ain't wan' touch me, you ain't even wanna cook for me
We so accustomed to the bickering and judgery
We end up fuckin' to put an end to all the fuckery (Mad)
Yeah, when you break up in polyamory
You ain't just lose one lover, you lose a family
Your base camp throw shade on you like a canopy
If love is patient, it's a patient with insanity, but
Who pities a man with two wives?
Under one roof, I was living two lives
I don't believe love's bleak before it's better
Fuck, bittersweet shit is sweet before it's bitter
[Chorus]
Forget what you're told
This is how it goes
Sweet bitter
Sweet bitter
Forget what you're told
This is how it goes
Sweet bitter
Sweet bitter

[Verse 2]
Princesses and queens, find kings to go hand in hand
But you make kings and made me the brand I am
You made me face the boy in the man I am
That shadow work you can't avoid like a mammogram (True)
Brave woman, sage woman, chief advisor
Although I was older, always knew that you was wiser
Your auntie was the type to make a drink before church
Somehow you made the Ivy Leagues straight out of Leimert
You were the first to introduce me to the poly life
Liberated like we on the PCH on Harley bikes
We had that orgy on the beach way out in Bali life
And that barbecue right in the middle of safari life (Oh no)
Young and naive, it's fun 'til it bleeds
Brought our homegirl in like there would be some ease
I ain't listen when you said she was too vanilla
You had to draw the line when the sweet became the bitter
[Chorus]
Forget what you're told
This is how it goes
Sweet bitter
Sweet bitter
Forget what you're told
This is how it goes
Sweet bitter
Sweet bitter
