Yeah its like that, and take your attitude with you! Imma call my other girl up
I aint gotta deal with this mess.
Do I really have to break this down
She done made you made, again, she done pissed you off, again.
And now you think your ready to go after the next little bit that comes walking down the street right?
Yea I aint gotta deal with that. She always be doing that mess, always catching attitudes catching feelings and that.
LIke so many other people. you are giving up a lot of what you have
little bit that you want
Mixtape: Shorty fine ova dere you nah mean
Let me introduce you to a little concept called the 80/20 rule.
Man I aint got time for this mess dog
Oh no your gonna listen. Cause of you dont. Your gonna find your self in the same spot
over an over and over and over and over again
Imma try to keep this gender netural. Vibe with me.
The rule goes a little something like this.
The person in your life, the person you chose. The one that's good to you, good for you. Keeps you. Holds you
Comforts you, protects you, fights by your side, feeds you, listens to you, shares with you.
The one that shows they will go through hell or high water with you. Yeah that one.
This person is your 80%. They are 80% of what you need. 80% of what you want.
80% of your greatest fantasy. That's them.
They're your 80%
80% is what you have.
But you don't see it. You only see the 20% they don't have.
they don't have the money you need they'll have a house you want to live
they always gotta complaint they never wanna eat what you wanna eat
all have a bangin body. they dont do the twerk. work they don't do this we don't do that
They dont do 20%. They dont have 20% of what you need. They dont have 20% of what you want.
They dont have that last 20%. And that's where you get stuck.
You're focused on the 20% they don't have you can't
see the 80% they're giving 80% is a lot. (Mixtape: Yeah But)
you're left hungry starving feening for that 20% that the one you have doesn't have
So now what happens? Temptation. You find someone offering that 20%.
OOhh come holla at the "M"
And you decide be it consciously or subconsciously
you're going after that 20%
MIxtape: Yo? A baby where you going.
never realizing that one only has 20%.
That's it. going after greener grass you give up the 80% you have for someone
offering only 20 and you wonder why you aint happy. You just gave up
eighty percent for twenty percent 20% looks good when you don't have it.
but it's only twenty percent. Nothing more. that's like giving up a nice car for
leather seats. It's like giving up a ham sandwich for extra lettuce. Its like giving up
a Christmas present for pretty wrapping paper. It just doesn't make any sense.
Mixtape: So it's like, what?
And here's the cycle.
you find eighty percent you want that extra twenty percent. You give up eighty for
twenty and wonder why you aint happy give up twenty and the cycle starts all
over again. You're not confused. You're not scared. You're not tired. You're lazy.
You would rather stay in this cycle under the guise that you're looking for the perfect one.
You know, the one give you a 100%. you know whowant to doesn't exist. Instead of
putting in the work to make it work with the right one. You know the one you
keep running away from. So what you tryna say? What am I trying to say what i've been saying what
have i said over and over and over and over at over and over again?
MIxtape: First you was like you know.....
