FOR ALL THE DOGS

TITLES RUIN EVERYTHING

A Stream of Consciousness

by Aubrey Graham & Kenza Samir

I actually do have good things to say about you -

just not in this book

She is coming thru to meet my career I invited her over to experience her pictures I am the soundtrack for lives that go on without me

I’ll let you talk first

but don’t let me go second

Life isn’t fair

but Karma helps

Some days I got it all figured out but most days I never learn Charged it to the game

and paid the bill

Something (other than me)

has got to give

You’re nothing

to write home about

I can’t read the signs hun

I left my glasses at home

Canadian money does not fold

To soon or too late?

Either way…

You can bring all your baggage home to me

Why me? Why now?

Help me figure you out

Dead serious

till I die

Y’all more liquid than solid You love to get pretty for people who don’t know the truth about you How many acres does it take to prove a point?

State of the art everything…

in every state

What’s mine is mine not yours (heart included)

Oh how smooth life would go if you knew what you pretend to know I’m not four you…

really starting to put two and two together Already got a career

I can’t convince you that I love you for a living Ideally I want someone to check on me knowing I’m healthy My helping hand getting numb & my visions going blurry from looking out for everyone There are two types of women in this world, women who like giving head and women who I don’t like She suffers from main character syndrome if you ask me I told her I’m going crazy, she said without me?

First of all,

I don’t have time to go around telling every loser I came across “I’m sorry for your loss”

Please don’t try me

I’m not that far down my spiritual journey

Imagine me shifting my focus from world domination to you Your taste in men isn’t exactly Michelin star Saved you in my phone as never again just so I don’t forget My talents include a pen. Your talents include a bed…

we’re both skilled nonetheless Tell me something I don’t know (like your motives)

Better without you and you know it that’s why you can’t bring yourself to ask me how I’m doing Said you’re one in a million,

not one in seven point eight billion, relax Swimming in regret

is not cardio

Hearts break as much as they beat a lesson I know too well, but hate to teach I can read you

like I wrote you

I want a match made in heaven not a match made in Weston

“Numbers don’t matter”

– someone who isn’t doing them

Imagine me tryna front on this free app… fuck i look like I’m posted up feeling liked in real life Their insecurities are the main reason why I increase my security There’s more to life than bottling up emotions, bottle service, and smoking You were in my dream last night They call that a nightmare, right?

We all came up broke

But I’m the only one who used my tools to fix it Being someone they fear & can never get near is Hot 100 music to my ears Please go mind the business that pays you minimum wage Watching you spiral down from the best seats in the house isn’t as fun as I’d often dreamt about Everest is probably easier to get over than you Nonetheless, I wish you the (second) best Irony: It cost a lot of $ to feel free The stuff you be saying on those apps says a lot If I didn’t know how to keep my comments to myself I’d be commenting stfu Those guys are so burnt out We can smell it from here

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you”

- someone who could never be me let alone do what I do 7 months later you’re asking me what’s up?

Oh, not much – just been keeping my “I told you so” tucked My therapist told me I need to stop listening to what people tell me but if I take her advice would’t I be listening to what people tell me?

Told you that you have no business getting flown out if you can’t at least fly business, but you don’t ever listen partner up > settle down

Known to block anyone and anything that isn’t a blessing Say you found the right relationship but that man got you going 50/50

You’re either really bad at math or really silly Free all the homies dealing with max sentences & free all the women dealing with bare minimum now you with somebody you told me was nobody...

What’s the difference between going through your phone & going through hell?

I can’t really tell

It’s always some unemployed ho tryna work my nerves Our miscommunication is uncanny.

Countries go to war over misunderstandings – you should be happy I go to Miami Assassinated my character & got off with no time served For what it’s worth, I’ve dealt with badder who’ve done me worse If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport you wouldn’t have just won my heart but you would have won gold Having trouble figuring out if you’re a devil missing a horn or a unicorn I’m a terrible texter, but a great writer Hate confrontation, but a great fighter They rarely give credit, but I don’t get mad I’d rather the cash

You’re not thuggin you’re kidding...

one sided beef is not beef...it’s chicken I hate when you always ask me what I’m doing more than you hate that the answer is always working No one is gaslighting you

You’re just so toxic that you’re flammable I believe in God just much as he believes in what we got going on In what life does their opinion on my life have anything to do with my life?

Ain’t no way out of all the places you could play you chose in my face

Apple added edit text so you can re sent what you really meant…

Is that resentment?

Maybe tonight, you can take a break from scrolling through people’s lives and step outside Tell Guinness I know who the most annoying b!tch is What will you say in your speech when you go up and accept the award for pretending to be everything I need?
