  • Here we go again, from heroes to villains
    Used to be your Romeo, but we both were jilted
    A couple of times, so we had a slippery slope to deal with
    But still, it gave me hope
    That we'll get through it together, a severed earlobe
    Mailed to you in an E-N-V-E lope
    Would be dope, but
    What kind of lengths can you go?
    Pull a Vincent van Gogh, just to convince a damn ho
    To be a housewife who outright lies
    She's blackout drunk, now she's backin' out my drive
    I ran outside, why's she tryna act out?
    She's just about my size
    Hit me in the mouth twice
    Guys, when someone you die for sticks a steak knife in your heart
    Do you try more?
    Another late night in
    She stumbles through my door, lets the daylight in
    And all we do's fight more
    And I ain't violent
    But she's goin' through my drawers to plant the K-Y in
    I'm gettin' accused by a whore
    Who smells like St. Ides and
    Who has probably screwed five more guys, sucked eight, nine men
    I'm takin' two by fours, to our eight by tens
    Bitch, it's you I tore, out the frame, I win
    Put up a new high score, beat this game I'm in
    And here's some two-ply for
    When you date my friends, in order to wipe your ass
    When you moved your bowels
    When we renewed our vows
    This the thanks I get?
    I'm waitin' for the day
    I can hear you say, "Marshall, what a skank I've been
    And there's a new guy, you're being replaced by him"
    Got your tubes tied for him
    Got that boob job for him
    Hurts me to my core
    But the pain I'm in
    After you, I swore To make the gray skies end
    Here come the rays like when
    You get a pay hike, and, am I the good guy, or
    Do I just play like him and hope that he dumps you?
    It's like a dream come true, just to scream "Fuck you"
    Guess you take life in the same way you play dice then
    'Cause you just look at me and roll them little snakes eyes in

    Since you bought the jury, they'll call me guilty, they'll call me guilty
    You bought the jury, they'll call me guilty, even though you know the real me
    Can't be the cheater, convincin' nonbeliever
    And I ain't in my feelings, I'm out but I let you say that you're the good guy
    'Cause this ain't what love looks like
    You can't be the cheater, convincin' nonbeliever
    And I ain't in my feelings, I'm out but I let you say that you're the good guy
    Play like you're the good guy, play like, play like
    Play like you're the good guy Writer/s: Jessie Reyez, Joseph Norio Aono, Lisa Gomamoto, Marshall Mathers, Ray Illya Fraser, Risa Gomamoto, Yutaka Yamada
