lyrics

(Intro)
Wait wait wait
Yeah
You got it made, JJMade
Ever since I was a little kid man
I said I wanna do some shit like this
I know this might get me in trouble
But its all good

(Verse 1)
Theres somethin missin in your life
And I hope you get it
All the money you workin for yeah
Go and spend it
2017 I pick you in my old mans benz
Thinkin Im the shit
Ya make me feel like Im the sh-
All the talkin ya did
Watch what ya say
21 on my back
Ive been makin the plays
I dont wanna vent on this
Twitter fingers
Take what I give
I know how you work
I know what it is
When you feel less
Thats when you want more, more, more
Can only give so much

(Chorus)
You're scared to love
And hard to hold (hard to hold)
How much pain behind that smile? (How much? How much?)
How much pain behind that smile?
I gotta ask
How much pain behind that smile? (How much? How much?)
How much pain behind that smile?
You can trust me
Lemme find out
Ooo girl

(Verse 2)
I wanna sit down
Figure it out
I wanna sit down
Figure it out
I wanna know whats on your mind
Tell me
Not your friends alright?
Dont want no one else
You my ride or die
But I can see through lies
Come take a bet on us
Things been rough
Fightin on text
Doesnt build trust
I dont wanna see no fight
Stayed up way late
Im runnin outta patience
So I took some time
Figure me out
Runnin round the city
You see me out
Why you wildin?
Whens the last I seen you smilin?
I dont know
Lately thats been all our answers
Thats been all our answers
I dont know
Thats been all our answers
Thats been all our answers
I dont know

(Chorus)
You're scared to love
And hard to hold (hard to hold)
How much pain behind that smile? (How much? How much?)
How much pain behind that smile?
I gotta ask
How much pain behind that smile? (How much? How much?)
How much pain behind that smile?
You can trust me
Lemme find out
Ooo girl

(Outro)
The Countdown is with me
The Countdown is through me
You moved away
I told you its risky
Yeah I told you
Yeah
Yeah
Im tellin you...
