No Settling
[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey
Ah, ah
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I'm not the one to play
Yeah, I just asked for some flowers and a little bit of peace
Minimum
I ain't waitin' on somebody that ain't waitin' up for me
Mama taught me better
I play these fools and never let them get to me for free
I could feel something's wrong
Don't never take much for me to leave

[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't S-E-T-T-L-I-N-G, no, I ain't settling
You can't afford, you bore me, this cost a good grip, I got needs
Ain't no (Ain't no), romance (Romance)
Supposed to be (Supposеd to be), this cheap
When I feel somеthing's wrong, no S-E-T-T-L-I-N-G

[Verse 2]
You got me fucked up
I have options, but they garbage, so I'd rather be free
You fine and rich
But nobody's tryna hear you talk about your lil' checklist
Swear you think you better
Them dumbass rules ain't never gonna have space with me
You could tell something's wrong (Wrong)
It's the lack of self-awareness for me
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't S-E-T-T-L-I-N-G, no, I ain't settling
You can't afford, you bore me, this cost a good grip, I got needs
Ain't no (Ain't no), romance (Romance)
Supposed to be (Supposed to be), this cheap
When I feel something's wrong, no S-E-T-T-L-I-N-G
