Never (Let You Go) Deante' Hitchcock

[Intro]
This one of the ones you gotta record when like
Ain't like nobody in here, haha
Man, this sappy ass shit, ayy, ayy

[Chorus]
We used to laugh and smile and carry on like love could pay the rent or somethin'
Knowin' we was broke, ayy
Used to say that these feelings were unconditional like we knew what it meant or somethin'
Like 16, 17, or somethin', well
Ain't no way you can love me just the way I am, I must gotta get rid of somethin'
Must gotta, must gotta
Ain't no way I could love you just the way you is, you must gotta get rid of somethin'
Huh, psych, you're just right, ayy, uh

[Verse 1]
In first grade, we would laugh and smile
In second grade, we just smiled and laughed
In third grade, I swore I was a little emotional
And nigga, I got that from my dad
Then in fourth grade, I got my heart broken
Shit, I thought I was Usher from "U Got It Bad"
Then in fifth grade, that's when my folks divorced
And I had to transfer schools and put you in the past
I'm in middle school, act like I'm grown now
I'm in love with, uh, and I'm tryna smash
Now she ain't with it but I'm so persistent
I was immature and so it didn't last
Then in ninth and tenth I really witnessed love
And she wanted forever but I couldn't imagine
Anything past a day so that love passed away
But we were young so we got over it fast
Now the rest of high school was like a blur
And the same for college up 'til you arrived
I was hella stressed 'cause from the minute we met
It felt like I loved you like a thousand times
And I couldn't explain it, I knew it was dangerous
But I couldn't tame it and I wouldn't change shit
Weathered every storm, didn't run when the rain hit
And you was fuckin' with me way before I was famous, for real, but...
