(feat. Akon)




I let you talk, and even though you overreact, 

I try to listen, didn't give you any feedback 

Every time I tell you what I need, you don't care how much I bleed 

Am I coming through? Check, 1, 2, 1, 2 

Down to the wire, you're over looking the red lights, 

And every little issue is amplified 

I'm feelin' unheard, went back like reverb 

Coming from my tears over you, 1, 2, 1, 2 



Had to turn it up a notch (one notch), hate to fuss, 

Better listen up, better listen up 

Cause it's over, I had enough, I'm tired of keeping it down 

Not gonna bottle it up, you're 'bout to hear me out 



Mic check c'mon, mic check 1, 2, c'mon 

It's the final round, I'm 'bout to bounce, 

Baby I'm out, can you hear me now? 

Mic check c'mon, mic check 1, 2, c'mon 

It's the final round, I'm 'bout to bounce, 

Baby I'm out, can't you hear me now? 



You cut me off 'fore I started, I'm not gon' run it back, 

You told me that I gave you static and I mean that 

I mapped it out, I gave you clues, now I'm blowing a fuse, 

Am I getting through? Check 1, 2, 1, 2 

Sike, read my facial expressions, see how I'm pulling back, 

You say I'm tripping, bet you'd like me to believe that 

I'm standing my ground, 

Yup, stubborn and I'm proud 

Am I gettin through? Check 1, 2, 1, 2 



Had to turn it up a notch (one notch), hate to fuss 

Better listen up, better listen up 

See it's over, I've had enough, I'm tired of keeping it down, 

Not gonna bottle it up, you're 'bout to hear me out 



Mic check c'mon, mic check 1, 2, c'mon 

It's the final round, I'm 'bout to bounce, 

Baby I'm out, can you hear me now? 

Mic check c'mon, mic check 1, 2, c'mon 

It's the final round, I'm 'bout to bounce, 

Baby I'm out, can't you hear me now? 



[Akon:]

You said I switched it up, not sticking to the game plan, 

Now you're talking down on me like I'm Rainman 

Feel like acting a fool, I'm tryna keep it cool, 

Whatchu expect me to do? Check 1, 2, 1, 2 

I let your speakers bump, turn up the volume, 

I heard you loud and clear, baby girl it's all you 

So if you wanna leave, baby there's the door, 

I ain't gonna hold you here if you really wanna go 

I'ma need that whip, kick rocks, take the bus, 

Better hurry up, better hurry up 

If you need your space, baby that's what's up, 

I'ma need my place, baby get your stuff
