A-yo’
I don’t even know you and I hate you
See, all I know is that my girlfriend used to date you
How would you feel if she held you down and raped you
Tried and tried, but she never could escape you
She was in love and I’d ask her how, I mean why
What kinda love from a n**** would black your eye
What kinda love from a n**** every night make you cry
What kinda love from a n**** make you wish he would die
I mean s***, he bought you things and gave you diamond rings
But them things wasn’t worth none of the pain that he brings
And you stayed, what made you fall for him
That n**** had the power, make you crawl for him
I thought you was a doctor, be on call for him
Smacked you down ‘cause he said you was too tall for him, uh
That wasn’t love, babygirl you was dreamin’
I coulda killed you when you said your seed was growin’ from his semen

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

I don’t even know you and I’d kill you myself
You played with her like a doll and put her back on the shelf
Wouldn’t let her go to school and better herself
She had a baby by your a** and you ain’t givin’ no help, uh-huh
Big time hustler, snake motherf***er
One’s born everyday and everyday she was your sucker
How could you beat the mother of your kids
How could you tell her that you lover her, don’t give a f*** if she lives
She told me she would leave you, I admit it she did
But came back, made up a lie about you missing your kids
Sweet kisses, baby ain’t even know she was your mistress
Had to deal with fist fights and phone calls from your b****es
Flossed like you possessed her, tellin’ me to mind my business
That it was her life and stay the f*** out of it
I tried and said just for him I keep a ready clip

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

I don’t even know you and I want you dead
Don’t know the facts, but I saw the blood pour from her head
See, I laid down beside her in the hospital bed
And about two hours later, doctors said she was dead
Had the nerve to show up at her mother’s house the next day
To come and pay your respects and help the family pray
Even knelt down on one knee and let a tear drop
And before you had a chance to get up, you heard my gun cock
Prayin’ to me now, I ain’t God but I’ll pretend
I ain’t start your life, but n**** I’mma bring it to a end
And I did, clear shots and no regrets, never
Cops come and lock me up in the jail, n**** whatever
My b****, f*** that, my sister, you could never figure out
Even if I let you live what our love was all about
I considered her my blood and it don’t come no thicker

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find

Love is blind
And it’ll take over your mind
What you think is love, is truly not
You need to elevate and find
