 Dm
Ayy, I'm not gon' lie, I hate to take an L

Had me sittin' there hot like waitin' room's in hell

But I'm not gon' cry, no way to exhale
 Dm
Just got me some fresh air and got me a fresh pair
        Gm
Of them white on white Forces, yeah, summertime classics, yeah
 Gm
Tryna keep them clean, but you still could get your ass kicked
 Gm
So better breathe, nigga, one and then a two
 Gm
I'm the one and the two, I'm the one they look up to

        Dm
Haters see me coming through, gotta shut their mouth now (Shh)
  Dm
They huff and they puff, but couldn't blow this house down

Heard the best swimmer say, "It's 'bout controllin' your breath"
 Dm
I still got the watch lookin' like it's holdin' its breath

I got the blue face, baby, full of Christian rocks
 Gm
If you're grievin', keep believin', baby, just don't stop
  Gm
Now check it, me and Blige, dream ain't fly
    Gm
They mad 'cause they left us for dead, but we ain't died
  Gm
Fuck 'em

  Dm
Those things you do to me
 Dm
Leaves a lasting impression on my heart
 Gm
There ain't no second best
Gm
I've had my wasted times, but no regrets



♫ Chorus:
 Dm
Let me have you up just a little
Dm
Now you're patient with me, got me stuck like a riddle
 Dm
You get from top to bottom, never rush in the middle
 Dm
You never gone too long, but I swear that I miss you
Gm
Damn right, I swear that I miss you (Miss you)
 Gm
Since we've been together, I've been countin' seconds with you
 Gm
Didn't think I need you right here
 Gm
So used to holdin' it in, but now I'm breathing
          Dm

Dm
You're so much better for me, oh
Gm
Feel so brand new
 Gm
Fresh air, good news, breathing
Gm
So much better for me, yeah

Blindness, but you and me, we give each other space
Gm
I'm always excited to see ya, I never really felt this freedom

I think to myself, "Is this real or can I be dreamin' "
Gm
I think I'm in love
