"To Have & Hold" lyrics

Back in a minute, I had to pivot
Tell me to stay for the wrong reason
You wouldn't get it, how many times have I said it?
Heavy in here and I can't breathe in
Bitch, I'm a zealot that make you jealous?
Too busy buried in your feelings
Ah, you're my demon, my ceiling

I won't repent or pay no penance
All I ask is independence and no
Let me finish my sentence
Let me speak before I end up spitting venom

I'm not to have and hold
Love don't mean control
Leave me to my big things
I ain't swimming when
You're drinking me dry, ooh
Love don't mean control, ooh

Remember when you said you fell for my ambition
Used to take my clothes off in the kitchen
Now I'm busy working and you're calling like I'm missing
Told you I'm a woman with a vision
All of my time, all of the time
You got greedy for the trifle that I'm dishing
"Fuck have you been? Who you with? You wanna talk?"
Stop, listen

I won't repent or pay no penance
All I ask is independence and no
Let me finish my sentence
Let me speak before I end up spitting venom

I'm not to have and hold
Love don't mean control
Leave me to my big things
I ain't swimming when
You're drinking me dry, ooh
Love don't mean control, ooh

Love don't mean
Love don't, love don't, no
Love don't mean control
No, love don't mean control

I'm not to have and hold
Love don't mean control
Leave me to my big things
I ain't swimming when
You're drinking me dry, ooh
Love don't mean control, ooh
