I Had To

I really had to learn it the hard way
Can't get off track
Gotta remain straight
I had to cut em loose to elevate
Said it was crunch time yhu forgot the play
Too busy loving yhu thought I lost me
Cause I put off what I wanted all for not a thing
And that's the part that used to get to me
Had to put me first
I Had to love me first
You gotta learn me first
I said yhu gotta love me first
Said yhu was supposed to be my baby then yhu left me
To top it off yhu went and left me with a baby
When shit got real it damn near drove me crazy
So I had to put me first
I Had to kick yo ass to the curb cause I deserve respect so
Check it why I gotta disrespect ya when yhu gone learn yo lesson? Speak up Lemme know can't hear yhu
Cant yhu see Im stressing bout yhu
But bet I got one better for yhu
Yhu don't like this feeling do yhu
Can't stand to see me happy so I do me like yhu do yhu
Used to have me so lost for words but
I grew up now I understand my worth
Now I can't picture me with yhu
I passed yhu the shot yhu missed it so now we through
I quit the game before yhu threw I shut it off before yhu knew it
I was gone before yhu even had the chance to choose and I had to
Had to put me first
Had to love me first
You gotta learn me first
I said yhu gotta love me first
Said yhu supposed to be my baby then yhu left me
To top it off yhu went and left me with a baby
And when shit got real it damn near drove me crazy
So I had to put me first baby
Baby had to put me first I had to put myself first
Said I had to love me first said I had to learn to
Love me you got to you got to learn to love you first you gotta learn to love yourself first
Had to put me first
Had to learn the hard way
Had to love me first
Had to learn the hard way
Had to love my first you gotta learn me first
I said You gotta learn me first
I said yhu gotta love me first
Said yhu supposed to be my baby then yhu left me
To top it off yhu went and left me with a baby
And when shit got real it damn near drove me crazy so I had to learn to put me first
Had to learn to put me first
