[Intro: SAINt JHN]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, heya
(F a l l e n)

[Chorus: SAINt JHN]
Only love a real nigga ever knew was trap, I trap, I trap
Really came up from the mat, no turnin' back
Only love a real nigga ever knew was trap, that's fact, that's fact
Nigga came up from the mat, no turnin' back
Only love a real nigga ever knew was...

[Verse 1: SAINt JHN]
Trap, she do licks, she the one I forget
She do coke, she do blow
She do dope, make a list
This the life, don't forget
Sober nights, make it lit
She the one, you the one, I'm the one, what a trick
I ain't never tellin' lies, cross my heart and hope to die
If this real, it's real forever, may we never testify
Put the pedal to the floor, look the devil in the eye
If you tell me that you love me, promise not to change your mind

[Pre-Chorus: SAINt JHN]
We like sleepin' in the middle tonight
With the bass turned loud
Will you turn on the light?
Wish you furs for the winter, wish you champagne on ice
Middle fingers to the police

[Chorus: SAINt JHN]
Only love a real nigga ever knew was trap, I trap, I trap
Really came up from the mat, no turnin' back
Only love a real nigga ever really knew was trap, that's fact, that's fact
Nigga came up from the mat, no turnin' back
Only love a real nigga ever knew was...

[Verse 2: Lil Baby]
Trap, only thing we ever had to do was trap
I was breaking down bales and now switched it to rap
Shawty was the man, like, "Damn nigga, what happened?"
I'ma keep chasin’ the money, as far as I ever see
Had to kick my double-cup, feel like it was killin' me
I was sittin' in the spot, I ain't never missed a beat
If I'm feelin' in my heart, I'ma put it on a beat, like
Runnin' down on 'em, don't trip
Make sure your whole clip fit
Know it was hard livin', tryna survive this bullshit
I'm a part of my niggas, we all gon' get rich
Still remember sellin' 2-for-5
Now I have a million dollar ride
Still be havin' thoughts about the guy

[Pre-Chorus: SAINt JHN]
(Only love a real nigga ever knew was—)
We like sleepin' in the middle tonight
With the bass turned loud
Will you turn on the light?
Wish you furs for the winter, wish you champagne on ice
Middle finger to the police

[Chorus: SAINt JHN]
Only love a real nigga ever knew was trap, I trap, I trap
Really came up from the mat, no turnin' back
Only love a real nigga ever knew was trap, that's fact, that's fact
Nigga came up from the mat, no turnin' back
Only love a real nigga ever knew was—

Born in Brooklyn and of Guyanese descent, Carlos St. John Phillips grew up listening to a lot of Caribbean music. With his father absent, JHN tried his hand at drug dealing but didn’t like it. After this, he followed his older brother into rapping. He said of the experience, “my older brother felt like a father. He was only two years older than me so that was all I had. Whatever he would’ve done I was going to do.” In the beginnings of his music career he went by Carlos Saint John. He describes his earlier rapping style as more aggressive and less melodic than his current output. He also used this name for a brief time when he put rapping on hold to spend time writing songs for other artists. JHN has co-writing credits on songs like Usher’s 2016 hits “Crash” and “Rivals.”

He is part of a collective called GØDD COMPLEXx.
