Lauren's Story

[Verse 1] Remember back in 04 when it was us and sleeping inside my dorm And skipping classes and tests, ‘cause my heater was always warm We'd cuddle until the evening, in fetal like we just born And when the lights would go down now you begin to perform See, girl, you wasn’t my first, but you was the one that counted And now I'd write down my rhymes and asking you how it sounded Your father, he swore he loved me, you mother she called me her son And you were planning our wedding but I was just having fun And it hurt, ‘cause you invested and fell in love with a freshman Who told you that he will love you and knew that he was just guessing A blessing you had a car, see, I was taking the bus And you would throw me your keys whenever you see me rush See, I studied because you studied, ‘cause school just wasn’t my thing A nigga wanna be rich, ? was never my dream You told me that I was smart, said “Shawn, you know you’ll make it The devil, he wants your soul, just promise you’ll never trade it” And you knew that this shit was real, you honestly were the first And now we ain’t even speaking, I swear to you that it hurts I never meant to be malice, I never knew how to balance The devil wear her new dress, monogamy is a challenge [Hook] I swore I never do you like that I never meant to do you like that So one time in the air for Lauren, for Lauren, for Lauren Two times in the air for Lauren I swore I’ll always be your nigga And now I’m over here acting like a nigga [Verse 2] And I would run your credit, ‘cause you would tell me get anything you need And signed me over your checks so I can stop selling weed But something you never knew was that I was constantly cheating And taking your cavalier to see bitches like every weekend A senior from Cal Dominguez, to campus is where I bring her You seen her before you screen her, I told you she was a singer And she walk around with my hoodie and people would always see me But I was banking on our trust, ‘cause you would always believe me Then I would flip it around like where the fuck you’ve been Keep going until you cry, then acting like your best friend I knew that you’d never leave, you thought it was me you need I put one foot out the door, you’re feeling like you can’t breathe [Hook]
