Karisse G - Make Em Love Me Lyrics

Look
Before we got to where we are I made em love me first
That typa love that can't be given until that shits earned
The kind of love that makes your actions reality words
First had their ears now have their heart this life like a blur
You know boy I'm a grove boy I'm not from the burbs
Where most of the time discussions don't end with their words
I had to leave that shit behind but I left on my terms
Contractual agreements always end up on my terms
Cause every time I up the numbers handshake confirmed
It's like I keep upping stakes and they still haven't learned
I know when pull out safe I ain't tryna get burned
Before I got to where I am I made em love me first
Before I got to where I am I thought that I was cursed
If I'm truly being real I thought it turn out worse
It was taking
It was taking
It was taking
Was taking long, so long I tried
I tried my best, to wait it's time
But it wasn't working
It wasn't working
It wasn't working
I clean up messes ask Leigha how we cut it close
She was the one for me and still I had to let it go
She didn't want this life and deep down that hurt my soul
Cause I get it would not be fair if I told her no
No, no
Don't get this close
You wouldn't know bout this role until you in this role
So bite your tongue and hold remarks on shit that you don't know
Cause I promise there's tons of shit that you don't know
Or couldn't know unless I told you about it
Cause the places we go I rather show you about them
And I'm talking on some G five soaring shit
I promise me and my team are never on boring shit only money storing shit
I got the mixture of forty and frank dukes with me
Got the guys shooting like I got blue devil dukes with me
Love the people round me I know they would jump through hoops for me
Not that I need em too but just to know what they do for me
If things ever went south
If things ever reach a point for reason of starting doubt
If untrusted ones started telling tales out their mouth
Like I didn't sacrifice my free time to get us all out
Nigga what
Imagine that
Don't believe that silly shit
Look
Before I got to where I am I made em love me first
Before I got to where I am I thought that I was cursed
If I'm truly being real I thought it turn out worse
It was taking
It was taking
It was taking
Was taking long, so long I tried
I tried my best, to wait it's time
But it wasn't working
It wasn't working
It wasn't working
Yeah
Before I did what I did I made em love me more
The type of love ball players get when on that court
But y'all know this music shit a whole different sport
But I put it on me to be who carries the torch
Nigga
Yeah
