Why the hell would you run this game?
Both my hands are tied
Afraid of thinking I dug my own grave
Fuck around with this
Strange and elusive, too afraid to lose it
I don't mind this pain
Most niggas want you for your candy
They'll never know just how long it takes
I wave my own pride
And put it all on the line

There I go, volunteering punishment
Self-inflicted pain, sickness, overused
Way overused
Here I stand (hey) time and time
It must be what you put me through, ha

It must be what you put me through

A little while longer
A bit more time
Why would you run these thoughts across my mind?
Please, believe me
As cool as I remain
There's a point in which I'll lose my self-restraint
Say, love, most nigga's would've left you lonely
I fancy throwing it all away
I see it to my own demise
How much longer will I let it ride?

There I go, volunteering punishment
Self-inflicted pain, sickness (ha), overused
Here I stand (here I stand) time and time
It must be what you put me through (uh)

(Said, yeah, huh, time and time)
It must be what (pain) you put me through
(Volunteering punishment)
Hey, it must be
Here I stand (yeah)
Time and time (hey)
It must be what you put me through, ha

It must be what you put me through
