I'd rather lie than to lose you, girl
I'd rather lie than confuse you, girl
Truth is, we lapped them, they want us gone
Truth is, they can't handle me at the top
I'd rather spare you the details, my love
Oh, I'd rather (Wake up, F1LTHY)
I'd rather lie than lose you, I'd rather lie (Swamp Izzo, hahaha)
I'd rather, I'd rather
I'd rather lie than lose you, I'd rather lie
I'd rather, I'd rather
I'd rather lie than lose you

She wanna fuck, let's make up
Ex got a problem, tell him say somethin' (Schyeah)
House in the hills, we can lay up (Schyeah)
Bae, you could stay, we could play fun
She don't do much, just lie
Anything she want, I can get it done
Hundred thousand racks in the bando (Schyeah)
Hundred thousand racks in the bando
She want a break and I get that
She tryna leave, told me she- uh
Said that she leavin', she wanna- uh
I'm off a bean, it's gettin' me- uh
She bend right back then we bool
At the top, we could swim in the pool (Schyeah)
In the penthouse, I'm lovin' on you (Ha)
Said she fuckin', she fuckin' with me, yeah (Ha)
Oh, you know I'd lie to you than lose and break your heart
I'd rather tell you a lie than tell you the truth and leave you stuck (Schyeah)
How you gon' take it this far?
Baby, know that you fuck with a star (Yeah)
Baby, know that you fuck with a star (Yeah)

I'd rather lie than to lose you, girl
I'd rather lie than confuse you, girl
Truth is, we lapped them, they want us gone
Truth is, they can't handle me at the top
I'd rather spare you the details, my love (Hahaha)
Oh, I'd rather
I'd rather lie than lose you, I'd rather lie
I'd rather

I'm back on the track gettin' off like this
I'm back on the lean, I'ma talk like this
I'm back on that shit, I'ma walk like this
House got a view, we could fuck like this
Niggas get mad when I talk this shit
Niggas be mad 'cause I offed his bitch (Hol' on)
This nigga mad 'cause I fucked her
Bagged me a cougar, I'm younger
I'm diggin' deep like a plunger
I took her panties up off her
Opposites always attract, how you happy, then get mad? (Schyeah)
But I want you bad and she wanna make up
I might just tell you that this true love, give you my kidney
Wrist Philadelphia, mine, I'm spendin'
I'm off the lean and molly at the same damn time, I can't even stay up (What?)
Wrist in the freezer
I'ma crash out 'cause you mine
I'ma pull up, get behind you
All of that ass, let me bite that
Give you my card, tell you, "Swipe that"
It wasn't you, it's me, it ain't me, it's you
I know it's hard to see, but I'd rather lie than lose
I'd rather, I'd rather, I'd rather

I'd rather lie than to lose you, girl (Swamp Izzo, hahaha)
I'd rather lie than confuse you, girl
Truth is, we lapped them, they want us gone
Truth is, they can't handle me at the top
I'd rather spare you the details, my love
Oh, I'd rather
I'd rather lie than lose you, I'd rather lie (Wake up, F1LTHY)
I'd rather, I'd rather
I'd rather lie than lose you, I'd rather lie
I'd rather, I'd rather
I'd rather lie than lose you
