Shelley and I

Lyrics

Verse 1
Shelley on my line, I’m tryna play it right
We both walked out the fire, now we earnin’ light
Past got dust on it, let it stay behind
What was done was done, leave it in the time
I seen old wounds turn grown folks cold
So I’m keepin’ my word, I’m keepin’ my soul
If the old days call, let it ring and die
We don’t live in rearview, we got real life

Pre-Chorus
And I know them girls wanna get in your head
Push your buttons, make you think what they said
That’s their game, that’s their little test
But you too solid to be stressin’ mess

Chorus
Past is past, let it lay
Shelley, don’t you drift away
Past is past, let it stay
We too strong for childish play
I check my jealous thoughts
I check my jealous thoughts
When that smoke gets gone
Our bond can’t be crossed

Verse 2
I got jealous thoughts, I ain’t proud of that
So I cut ’em off fast when they come back
I don’t want no poison sittin’ in my chest
Love don’t breathe when it’s under stress
I’d rather be real than act all tough
Tell you when I’m shook, tell you when it’s rough
’Cause once we clean that fear out the room
Ain’t nobody touch what we buildin’ soon
You da queen of the hood, you wear that crown
I’m king of the city when I hold it down
Two strong names, one locked-in flame
Same last promise, same first name

Bridge
So if they throw shade, let ’em throw
We already know what we both know
The past is a road we don’t walk back
We built too much to fall off track

Chorus
Past is past, let it lay
Shelley, don’t you drift away
Past is past, let it stay
We too strong for childish play
I check my jealous thoughts
I check my jealous thoughts
When that smoke gets gone
Our bond can’t be crossed
