Waiting On My Slip

Intro]

Look... yeah

I remember walking past your locker, you wouldn't even look my way

You thought I was a joke because my shoes were torn

Look at us now... look

Chorus

Bought a spot out in the hills just to clear my mind

Turned my heartbreak into millions, left the fake behind

Checking into airport terminals, they looking at the ice

You threw away a real one just to chase a cheaper price

They been waiting on my downfall, waiting on my slip

Got the steering wheel in one hand, gotta keep a solid grip

Got these diamonds on my neck, got these scars inside my soul

You left me in the dirt when I was out of control.

Verse 1

Back in high school, third period, I was skipping in the back

Sharing headphones with you, sketching rhymes up on the track

My stomach used to rumble, didn't have enough for lunch

But I made sure you were good, took the blows and took the punch

Then you started acting distant when the football captain called

Left me standing by the bleachers, completely appalled

Saw you riding in his civic, laughing through the tinted tint

That shit broke my spirit, didn't know where my pride went

Now I’m pulling up in spaceships, windows rolled all the way up

Remember crying on the curb, pouring liquor in a cup

Used to stare at my old iPhone, praying that you'd text

Now my manager is trippin' 'bout who I’m signing next.

Chorus

Bought a spot out in the hills just to clear my mind

Turned my heartbreak into millions, left the fake behind

Checking into airport terminals, they looking at the ice

You threw away a real one just to chase a cheaper price

They been waiting on my downfall, waiting on my slip

Got the steering wheel in one hand, gotta keep a solid grip

Got these diamonds on my neck, got these scars inside my soul

You left me in the dirt when I was out of control.

Verse 2

You cheated on a star before the money hit the account

Before the label advanced me a six-figure amount

I was sitting in my bedroom, tears blurring up the screen

Trying to find out why I wasn't enough for your team

Now you working at the mall, stuck inside that same zip code

Watching all my music videos while your tears explode

You gave up on the loyalty for a high school clout flex

Now you hitting up my cousin asking why I’m so complex

I was down to go to court for you, down to do some time

Thought that we were locked in, thought that you were truly mine

But you traded real devotion for a fast night in the dark

Now there’s nothing but a crater where you stepped on my heart.

Chorus

Bought a spot out in the hills just to clear my mind

Turned my heartbreak into millions, left the fake behind

Checking into airport terminals, they looking at the ice

You threw away a real one just to chase a cheaper price

They been waiting on my downfall, waiting on my slip

Got the steering wheel in one hand, gotta keep a solid grip

Got these diamonds on my neck, got these scars inside my soul

You left me in the dirt when I was out of control.

Verse 3

Just look at what you cheated on, look at this view

Every blessing that I’m holding could’ve belonged to you

Could’ve had the quiet life, away from all the noise

Instead you got a memory of one of your old boys

Now my face is on the posters, popping up on feeds

Can't even walk the block without fulfilling people's needs

You chose a temporary wave over a everlasting king

Now you sitting on your bed, crying 'bout a promise ring

I don't even hold a grudge, I just pity how it went

You couldn't see the vision when I couldn't pay the rent

Yeah, the money fixed the stress, but the healing takes a toll

But I thank you for the damage, it's what saved my broken soul.

Chorus

Bought a spot out in the hills just to clear my mind

Turned my heartbreak into millions, left the fake behind

Checking into airport terminals, they looking at the ice

You threw away a real one just to chase a cheaper price

They been waiting on my downfall, waiting on my slip

Got the steering wheel in one hand, gotta keep a solid grip

Got these diamonds on my neck, got these scars inside my soul

You left me in the dirt when I was out of control....
