Ok, let's take it back, right where we left off
Two years ago on Attack, I got to Ben of course
Love song, people said, "Jean, you wrote my life story"
It took a couple tries just to write this down, homie
Anyhow, let's go, delve like a periscope
Four years in retrospect, take some time to recollect
I was livin' single now, money in the bank account
Studio, loft bed, truly mine, I paint it red
Twenty-three, sellin' weed with dutches taped on the cases
Hit up Envy every Wednesday, at the club I'm famous
For buyin' bottles at half price, me and my girls act nice
Relaxed life, dancin' with half pints
Kissed many a mister, wasn't Mr. Right
That's ok, sister was lookin' for Mr. Tonight
Then he called me up a couple times, we exchanged a couple lines
And I backtracked, repeat, couple times
When he hollered, hardly wasn't thinkin'
Except I'm lookin' fresh like every ex you dream of meetin'
On the humble, tumble down a couple notches into swappin' spit
Gave myself and I know that he was poppin' shit
Crumble to the advances, mumblin', he saw her dancin'
I couldn't stop the attraction, wasn't properly actin'
And so I got down and it wasn't nothin'
I kept on like my heart wasn't frontin' but I was hurtin' though
You can't believe that somebody that you loved that much
Would ever bring their hands to you and properly touch
Face smack, you race back to when he kicked you in the back
Muscle relaxin', strugglin' to erase the facts
Only one I thought who really knew me
Threw me away truly, how cruelly can love treat you?
I learned a lot, learned how to numb the pain
After the liquor I could split him up out of my brain
Continued on though, dated a couple dudes
One was just lame, one broke my bathroom
But all in all it was an ill experience
I threw a couple parties, DJin', I'm serious
Cocaine was curious, was not for me though
Ended up smokin' more than I sold of the dro
I'm spendin' up all of the money I got in the bank
I'm thinkin' maybe I should probably slow down on the drinks
My intake is over levels of panic
And three nights out of seven I'm spent blackin' out
And no doubt, I don't know how to ration
Wakin' up and just feelin' smashed and but can't quit
It's still a love song
It's still a love song
Lord knows that I've waited so long
But all the love's wrong
Lord, is my luck gone?
But just wait, the story goes on
Named Jason, I had replaced him
With the last verse once we were forsaken
But we're both so much alike, alcoholics
Tattoos, except that he's brolic, so I called him
Up in my apartment, we watchin' cartoons
Drinkin' Old E and we're both stallin'
We need more drinks so we ventured out
To the club, lick it up, then we vent about
Why things never worked and then we started dancin'
He's apologizin' and I'm entranced and then
For the next two weeks we were inseparable
Weed undetectable, drinkin' 'til inept until
We would wild out, both startin' fights
Every club, both carry the knife, weapon lovers
We slept together, would check each other
Whenever it got too much, Bonnie and Clyde, rep whatever
He's my personal calendar, appreciates the rhyme caliber
Feast on diners every night after
Dancin', romancin' is never a problem
We at Envy's on Valentine's Day, it's a coffin
It's a wrap, other niggas are dead
And then all of a sudden his voicemail's in my head
Just two weeks of this relationship
I should have known that this beauty would give way to some shit
Called him from the studio, the way that he flipped
And you'd think that we'd never just have lately kissed
He wanted space, started screamin' and I hazily gripped
The phone, listened as he crazily tipped the scales, prone
Off the hook, man, recorded "Love Venom"
For Mr. Len's album that night, heart swellin'
I put his number in it, fuck a love, I'm finished
Tuck in my feelings like a chain and fuck you niggas
It's still a love song
It's still a love song
Lord knows I've waited for so long
But all the love's wrong
Lord, is my luck gone?
But just wait, the story goes on
