[Ari Lennox - I Been lyrics]
I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I try
But I’m havin' the worst luck on Tinder
Ooh, why'd you have to be a big pretender
I try, and I try, and I try, I try, I try
To give you somethin' good
'cause I know you would give it to me, too
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
Said I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
But you lie, and you lie, and
You lie, and you lie, you lie
Oh, it’s the 47th time that
I've changed my number
Should call you Mannie Fresh ’cause
You's the number one stunna
You lie, you lie, and you lie, and you lie
You lie i gave you somethin' good
'cause I know you would give it to me, too
Don’t date these niggas 'til you're 43
A heartbreak gonna creep on after me
I try to cover up what I feel inside
You hurt me so deep and I
You know
Life is too short to be blockin' your
Blessings like that, to be
Blockin' potential blessings, like
Yeah, you may never get married again
You may never
Find the love of your life again, but
Hey that's life and please don't be in a
Situation where that person's tearing you
Down mentally, emotionally, physically
Y-we've heard it a million times i
Think emotional abuse is way worse
Than physical
Sometimes 'Cause that just fucks up
Your whole mind you
Could develop whole disorders like that
Whole disorders you guys
Tell me why this old nigga from
My past hit me up
Talkin' bout some "Is your name
Courtney? Did you go
To Poplar Tree, in the first, second
And third grade? And
You had like a lightskin sister? And you, um
You had a crush on me?" I was like, "yeah
That sounds like
Me, " but my thing is, like, nigga
Like you feelin' yourself you're
Feelin' yourself a little too hard
Talkin' 'bout "you had a
Crush on me" Nigga, yes, at
Like, fucking seven relax, relax
All to forget about you
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
And I try, and I try, and I try, and I try
I try
But I’m havin' the worst luck on Tinder
Ooh, why'd you have to be a big pretender
I try, and I try, and I try, I try, I try
To give you somethin' good
'cause I know you would give it to me, too
I've been smokin' purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
Said I've been smokin’ purple haze, ooh
All to forget about you
But you lie, and you lie, and
You lie, and you lie, you lie
Oh, it’s the 47th time that
