Why can't you see that, why can't you see that
No, you don't believe that, you don't believe that
I know you want me to ease back, want me to ease back
Baby, that paper, we need that, we need that
I know you want attention
I know you want attention
I don't mean to give you all this tension
This could be my worst lesson
What you don't understand is that I'm doing this for you
Baby, I'm working, I'm not trying to ignore you
A better life doesn't happen in a day
I'm just another man trying to get paid
Stay patient, baby, have faith
I'm gonna have to do this either way
I know you're getting tired of this shit
Believe me, I know It's been on my mind ever since
You told me I'm never home
I don't mean to leave you alone
Just know I ain't out here doing bullshit, no
This love ain't something I'm willing to fool with
I been hustling, working
Baby, I'm out here working

Baby, I'm out here working
Why can't you see that, why can't you see that

I know you want me to ease back, want me to ease back
Baby, that paper, we need that, we need that
I know you want attention
I know you want attention
I don't mean to give you all this tension
This could be my worst lesson
Why can't it be simple? You want me to slow down But we ain't even got rent, though
Who's gonna feed the family? Baby, just let me be a man, please
I'll do this for the both of us Baby, understand me
I don't wanna keep living in hell
So I'm gonna sell what I gotta sell
I know you get mad when you hit my cell
Cause flip the script, what if I hit you if I'm in a cell?
I can tell you at your breaking point Baby, bear with ya boy
I know you're scared to make a choice
I been hustling, working
Baby, I'm out here working

Baby, I'm out here working
Why can't you see that, why can't you see that
No, you don't believe that, you don't believe that
I know you want me to ease back, want me to ease back
Baby, that paper, we need that, we need that
I know you want attention
I know you want attention
I don't mean to give you all this tension
This could be my worst lesson
Why can't you see that? Why can't you see that?
I know you don't believe that, you don't believe that no
I know you want me to ease back, want me to ease back
