Let Me Calm Down

For you

For you

Let me, let me, let me, let me

Pull off and I always hit ‘em

He actin' like I ain't always with him

My heart sayin' that I love him while I'm screamin' that I hate him

And it ain't no more debatin', this time it's an ultimatum

I never forgot where I was at the first day I met him

Yeah, it was love at first sight, but I ain't never sweat him

I knew if it was meant to be that one day I would let him

Twenty years later them decisions, I don't regret them

Just wish you would give me space when I really need it

To be alone in my zone when I'm really heated

Just 'cause I am quiet, don't mean you're defeated

Wish you ain't need me to feel like you're completed

Don't wanna say somethin' mean when I don't mean it

Million missed calls, I don't wanna talk

Just did a detox, now I wanna spark

I wrote a line for you and it was beautiful

I made a song for you, and sang you're beautiful

Oh, you're so, so irresistible

Take me to somewhere mystical

Your soul

Do you know?

For you I promise I'll try

For you I promise I'll try

For you I promise I'll try

Uh, havin' her ain't for the faint of heart

She bad as **, but hard to deal with, and it ain't her fault

She got ambition like them **, and the vision for herself

So she can't rest until she feel like she done made a mark

So if you love her, then you gotta learn to play your part

Sometimes you gotta play the back

But when you do, make sure you play it smart

All these ** want her, so they hatin' hard

They talkin' slick and make you wanna pull a Rated-R

You like her, love her like a brother, like a manager, an A&R

Plus a therapist when it start rainin' hard

Her life was trauma filled, it left her with a tainted heart

Yet, you the ** that she wanna tat her name across

But you need patience and a lot of extra faith from God

To keep the family together, at a time when it's so regular to break apart

So God forbid y'all got a kid, therefore, I hate the thought

It's you and her against the world until there ain't no more breath from your lungs

I'm just a messenger, but God is who this message is from

I wanna send you my respect because I rep for the ones

That hold they wifey down despite all of the extras that come

Word to Willy Smith, these silly ** heckle and shun

As if they life was somehow perfect and they never been plunged

Into a dark place, so I can't respect when it's done

It's family first through the worst, comin' second to none

For real

I wrote a line for you and it was beautiful

I made a song for you, I sang you're beautiful (Oh)

You're so **, so many reasons to hold me close

Take me to somewhere mystical

Your soul

For you, know
