Why Couldn't You Just

Why couldn't you just hold it down?
Why couldn't you just stay around?
Why'd You leave me alone in this town?
I needed you to just hold it down
Hold it down
Yeah
I became the king without a queen to hold my crown
So many years I spent crying in my room because I was down
Baby you know I always needed someone to help me lead this town
Cmon love how the hell am I supposed to function without seeing my baby in that gown
I feel like I'm sick every time you're not here and I have to hear this sound
24 hours a day I deserve to be six feet in the ground when ur not around
There truly was nothing in this world as beautiful as ur curves that were so round
Now I just feel like a dog that you castaway to the pound

Hey Jer, Its been a minute since last spoke
I'm just tryna check in, see if you ok
Aye Bro it's been a minute and I haven't heard from you. Are you okay?
I'm getting a little worried man, just call me back when you get this
let me know you're dead or in jail or something
Jerry, I ain't gon hold you, It's been 8 months and you are fucking scaring me dawg.
I just need something, t-to let me know you straight

All my homies asking if I'm ok
But I got nowhere for these thoughts to lay
I was so insecure I thought it was about to be Omah lay
Please just come back so we can go to the bay
Cause right now baby it feels like you led me a stray
And Without you i have no place in this world to stay
Left alone starring at the man in the mirror
Seeing the others made me feel inferior
So many nights I spent alone
feeling like I was being watched by a drone
Going through my darkest times calling you on the phone
The things I would do to get another chance at that dome
Baby just ask and we could've gone to rome
I'm sorry i gave all the negative thoughts a place to roam
All those things that i said and lied about on the phone
Just trying to help when i had that nasty ass tone
Redirected you away from happiness like a traffic cone
Then once enough was enough and you were done
I begged for you to not leave me alone with this gun
I miss all the times we had that were cute and fun
Got all alone wondering why you couldn't just

Why couldn't you just hold it down?
Why couldn't you just stay around?
Why'd You leave me alone in this town?
I needed you just hold it down
Hold it down
Damn, Yeah
