[Intro]
Spotlight

[Chorus]
Hope you are, hope you are who you say
If you aren't who I thought
It would break my heart

[Verse 1]
Hate to ramble on about it
I am not too proud about it
I've been on the run, I've been tryna run around it
I've been tryna go around it
It's too much, I am astounded (Wow)
You're too good to be real for sure
What are you not saying that I should know?
'Cause I should know
If you're for show or are for sure?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't play with my love (My love)
Messin' with my heart (My heart)
That's gonna be tough, for you to pull off
Gave me a new start, takin' it too far
It's gonna be hard if you really aren't
Who you say that you are

[Chorus]
Hope you are who you say you are
Hope you are who you say, you are the one
If you aren't who I thought
It'll break my heart
Hope you are who you say you are
Hope you are who you say, you are the one
If you aren't who I thought
It would break my heart

[Verse 2]
Caught me slipping, I was tripping and I almost gave up
Now I'm living in your vision
I don't wanna wake up from a
Dream, lover, I'm in need of ya
Please don't lead me on
You know I don't play that
How I'm livin'
I don't want no payback from a
Past-lover, bad-lover
Please don't do me wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't play with my love (My love)
Messin' with my heart (My heart)
That's gonna be hard, for you to pull off
Gave me a new start, takin' it too far
It's gonna be hard (Know that I love you, baby)
If you really aren't who you say that you are

[Chorus]
Hope you are who you say you are
Hope you are who you say, you are the one
If you aren't who I thought
It'll break my heart
Hope you are who you say you are
Hope you are who you say, you are the one
If you aren't who I thought
It'll break my heart

[Bridge]
Break my heart, don't break my heart
I pray to God, don't break my heart
Don't break my heart, it's all I got
I swear to God if you break my heart

[Outro]
Tell me that it's somethin' special
Tell me you never felt it
Tell me I'm your new obsession
Tell me that you really are the one
If you aren't who I thought
It would break my heart

Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo (born March 16, 1988) started her career under the moniker Jhené Aiko when she was 13 with the music group B2K. She explained how she later opted out of the deal to go back to high school and have her daughter Namiko in an interview back in July 2012 with Lozza

I was signed with Sony/EPIC when I was 12 years old and got a release from them when I was about 15 or 16 to focus on school. I started writing more and I had a child who’s now three years old.

After the failed release of her debut album, My Name Is Jhené back in 2003, Jhené released her debut mixtape, Sailing Soul(s) on March 16, 2011.
