Cliché (feat. Ari Lennox & Boogie)

Lyrics

Mama told me life's not fair
 So cliche advice right there
 The time we wasted, time we lost
 So we don't even try
 Mama told me life's not fair
 So cliche advice right there
 The time we wasted, time we lost
 We don't even try
 What if love is nothing more than a fairy tale?
 I care and all, but I'm fearing this here a carousel to me
 I'm here and gone to you, hear my songs playing
 We get on and off like we horizontally horse-playing
 You need somebody with some patience, shorty, yeah
 I need somebody that hate to party, uh
 You need somebody that's less busy
 I need a woman that's praying for me, but hesitate to call me
 I'm hot, cold, the doctor calling that bipolar
 Ha, that's undersold, she rock with me, she got five boyfriends
 I can't explain, my brain think in multiple colors
 Though all of 'em dull when anxiety rival my depression
 Mama told me life's not fair
 All these girls ain't right right here
 When it's dark, I need some time alone
 So she won't see me cry or lie
 Mama told me life's not fair
 So cliche advice right there
 The time we wasted, time we lost
 So we don't even try
 Mama told me life's not fair
 So cliche advice right there
 The time we wasted, time we lost
 So we don't even try (don't even try)
 Yeah, yeah
 Steep is the climb, you won't even leave me a line, uh
 Greedy is pride, you gon' eat me alive, uh
 Sweeter the pie, the more it sprinkled with lies, uh
 By any means, you give me means to survive
 We got shit that we should speak about
 'Bout how you started fucking
 Yeah, we gon bleep it out
 I sit and think about just how the right path could be the wrong direction
 But falling back is progress, it's all about perspective
 I'm saying though, I am too selfish to leave you all that I got, uh
 That shit harder than mending shit with my pops, uh
 That shit harder than women giving out props
 And niggas hitting at cops who bought the cap that you copped
 'Cause you way different when you're solo
 You seem happy in your photos
 I'm way different 'round my bro-bros
 I guess it's places we just won't go, won't go
 Really hiding
 Mama told me life's not fair
 So cliche advice right there
 The time we wasted, time we lost
 So we don't even try
 Mama told me life's not fair
 So cliche advice right there
 The time we wasted, time we lost
 So we don't even try (don't even try)
 Oh, don't even try
 'Cause your momma did a number on you, babe
 I don't know if I can ease it, yeah
 Your momma did a number on you, babe
 I know you're tired of this, hey, yeah
 ♪
 Oh, you're tired
