Insecure

Got a lot on my mind

I'm thinking I'm needing a break to clear up the clutter, damn man

Can I get a minute, get some space, man

You been through my head, playing games, man

You be way too controlling

Got me feeling like I can't breathe, I can't even hang with a homie

Ain't no reason not to trust me, I'm your lady, not a slave

You my nigga, not my master, I'll escape thinking who can I run to?

Got me looking for a new dude

With a chill vibe, who a nice time

Who can lay back, who don't pick fights, who ain't insecure

Why you gotta be so insecure?

When I did all I could do, but you be wanting more

And why you can't get above my back?

And I can take a lot of shit, but I won't take that

Been a long time, ain't been home, I been away

Work got me in and out of state

Don't know what you're doing, wonder what you're doing

You got niggas in your face, I'll never let you go to waste

You're my treasure, baby, not my trash

Thirsty 'bout to make a nigga splash

Why I treat you like a trophy, control freak

I tell you that's better than no freak

Find someone better you can go free

Stop trippin', girl, you know me, I'm your homie

Don't cut it off

We done said it all and we done it all

I want it all, for myself sorry if I'm coming off insecure

Oh, yeah, yeah

Why you gotta be so insecure? Yeah

When I did all I could do, but you be wanting more

And why you can't get above my back?

And I can take a lot of shit, but I won't take that

Don't you know that trust is important?

Ever heard of that, is it foreign to you?

Is a good time really boring to you?

You be on your Suge Knight, always trying to fight

You a bully or a lover?

Are you my man or my big brother?

Baby somethin' wrong with this picture

You make it hard to wanna stay with ya

I'm your lady, not a slave

You my nigga, not my master, I'll escape

Thinking who can I run to?

Got me looking for a new dude

I'm a good girl but you reachin'

'Bout to make me give you reason to be insecure

Why you gotta be so insecure? (So insecure)

When I did all I could do but you be wanting more

(But you be wanting more and more and more and more and more and more and more)

And why you can't get above my back?

And I can take a lot of shit, but I won't take that (but I won't take that)

No, I won't take that no more

... Read moreInsecurity can profoundly impact relationships, often leading to misunderstandings and emotional turmoil. It is essential to recognize that insecurity stems from a variety of factors, including past experiences and personal doubts. One effective approach to overcoming insecurity is fostering open and honest communication with your partner. Discuss your feelings instead of letting them fester. Additionally, focus on building your self-esteem—participate in activities that make you feel good about yourself and reinforce your value as an individual. Practicing self-care is crucial; it helps you feel grounded and less reliant on external validation. Sometimes, seeking professional help can offer deeper insights into the root causes of your insecurities and equip you with tools to manage them effectively. Remember, every relationship requires patience and understanding. As you work through feelings of insecurity, aim for a balance where both partners feel supported and valued. Ultimately, investing time in personal growth and mutual trust can pave the way for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
