[Verse 1: Vince Staples]
The band plays on like it's supposed to
Follow suit, because it ain't nothin' new
Beneath the solar systems of oppression
Got me aloof
The way of control is puppet master
Got me shinin' his shoes, collectin' quarters
Didn't know I was about that life 'til his was over
You worry 'bout the wrong thing, wrong things
Why would you play the long game?
It's not same, we all change

[Chorus: Vince Staples]
Why would you tell me that you love me when you don't?
No time for arguin', I'm hangin' up the phone
You made a promise, said you'd never do me wrong
Guess that doesn't matter
Nothin' really matters
Nothin' really matters at all
Nothin' really matters
Nothin' really matters at all

[Verse 2: Vince Staples]
But baby, everybody love me, I'm a joint
Still, my heart is hollow
I don't mean to disappoint
Shootin' for the stars, and gassin' bitches on the 'gram
Is that what boy becomes a man?
I guess I'm buoyant as a boat
Floatin' like a butterfly, you got me on the ropes
I'm tryna dance with feet of clay if cash is all these women want then
I don't wanna fight no more
Who told the lie and said that life was short?
Tall tales, I know all too well
'Cause every moment that we share feel like a Polaroid
Sometimes you gotta shake it up, to see what's really there
Is it in the air?
[Chorus: Vince Staples]
Why would you tell me that you love me when you don't?
No time for arguin', I'm hangin' up the phone
You made a promise, said you'd never do me wrong
Guess that doesn't matter
Nothin' really matters
Nothin' really matters at all
Nothin' really matters
Nothin' really matters at all

[Outro: Maddy Davis]
Why would you tell me that you love me when you don't?
No time for arguin', I'm hangin' up the phone
You made a promise, said you'd never do me wrong
Guess that doesn't matter
Nothin' really matters
Nothin' really matters at all
Nothin' really matters
Nothin' really matters at all
