August Alsina

Born and bred from the streets of New Orleans, Louisiana, enter into the game, 21-year-old August Alsina... With the love and hustle of the Crescent City running through his veins, August is eager to follow in the footsteps of the NOLA music legends that paved his way. His recently inked deal with Def Jam Recordings looks to be a great step in the right direction, but music wasn't always in his future. August learned at an early age that drugs and money could make you, or break you. With both his father and stepfather battling crack addiction, August's mother moved their family to Houston, Texas in search of a fresh start. But Houston provided no happy ending. For years, a young August endured a home life plagued by drugs and violence. At just 14,… more »

I wear my heart on my sleeve
Didn't think you would take it and play with it
I should've been takin' it easy
Instead I let my head get away from me, no
Don't got my heart on my sleeve
I cut 'em off like a wife beater
And that's the way it's gon' be
So you can take it or leave it

So you can take it or leave it
I'll be protectin' your heart and you don't need a reason
That's why you seein' me lovin' and leavin'
'Cause I know that most of you good for a season, and
I ain't got time to be movin' in
Just to be chasin' the one that got away
'Fore you do the same, you're replacin' him
I see the game that you play and you know that it's dangerous, baby
Playin' with a nigga heart, can get a nigga shot
Ain't plannin' no funerals, baby
I'd rather walk out of here with no feelings coming that is beautiful, baby
You can go your way, I can go mine
And I can kick it with you, I ain't trickin' with you
I ain't tryna be your gold mine

I know, I know, that you've been hurt before
Girl I've been hurtin' too, so that's why I keep it true
Baby, I f*ck with you, I don't wanna beef with you
Keep it a buck, I'm tryna roll in the sheets with you
Don't need nothin' new

I wear my heart on my sleeve
Didn't think you would take it and play with it
I should've been takin' it easy
Instead I let my head get away from me, no
Don't got my heart on my sleeve
I cut 'em off like a wife beater
And that's the way it's gon' be
So you can take it or leave it

I wear my heart on my sleeve
Didn't think you would take it and play with it
I should've been takin' it easy
Instead I let my head get away from me, no
Don't got my heart on my sleeve
I cut 'em off like a wife beater
And that's the way it's gon' be
So you can take it or leave it

All a nigga really got is hard dick and bubblegum
And I'm fresh out of bubblegum
Come through and get you piece but no catchin' no feelings 
'Cause that's when the trouble come
You don't want it, I don't want it either
If you think that you do than believe me
I ain't sayin' that I don't have a good time with you
That don't be makin' it easy but
I ain't tryna go there, tryna go there
I don't got no love to spare
I know I'm fly in them (?) 
But for now girl I'm gone with (?)
'Cause I wear my heart on my sleeve but let her manipulate it
Come and take it from me
Now she done fucked it all over you, girl
I ain't lovin' nobody but me

I know, I know, that you've been hurt before
Girl I've been hurtin' too, so that's why I keep it true
Baby, I f*ck with you, I don't wanna beef with you
Keep it a buck, I'm tryna roll in the sheets with you
Don't need nothin' new

I wear my heart on my sleeve
Didn't think you would take it and play with it
I should've been takin' it easy
Instead I let my head get away from me, no
Don't got my heart on my sleeve
I cut 'em off like a wife beater
And that's the way it's gon' be
So you can take it or leave it

I wear my heart on my sleeve
Didn't think you would take it and play with it
I should've been takin' it easy
Instead I let my head get away from me, no
Don't got my heart on my sleeve
I cut 'em off like a wife beater
And that's the way it's gon' be
So you can take it or leave it
