Produced by Jah Lyrics I’m being honest, I don’t like to get my hopes up Never liked to get my heart crushed Tell me now if this is over ‘Fore we start It Up, fore we start It Up Is it real or you just wanna hit this? You the type to love me from a distance? Is you running when I’m snapping pics While we kiss on a late night baby Fore we start It Up , for we start It Up Cuz I love too hard And I fall even harder Trust too much So I push even farther Give my all is that something that you can Do? Do? Do? (x2) I’m being honest, I don’t wanna play no games boy , I don’t wanna be your gameboy Or a temporary love toy Fore we start It Up , fore we start It Up All they ever wanna do is hit this That’s the kind of dudes I got to dismiss Ones who love you when it’s convenient Need someone who’s gonna believe in it Fore we start It Up, fore we start It Up Cuz I love too hard And I fall even harder Trust too much So I push even farther Give my all is that something that you can Do? Do? Do? (x2)
