Shallow Love

Is this shallow love or real?

Everywhere I go, I see love turnin' into somethin' it's not
People caught with the image, when's this shit gon' stop?
When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped
She's like: Yes, babe!, eyes still locked at the rock

He's got bands
He wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz
So they can both show off to their friends
They're in the Whip, they're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to France
Damn, it seems like love's the only thing that they ain't in

Divin' in headfirst into some shallow waters
I'm just touchin' on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic
I'm not sayin' every couple with money's got this problem
But in some cases without the label, she'd be straight up robbin'
Takin' vows to the coffin on the wedding day
Ain't no prenup needed, she convinced him it's true
Perfectly curved, believin' every word that she spewed
Was blinded by the beauty, can't see through

Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it hard to tell
What you in it for? What you really in it for?

So girl, tell me what you in it for
Is it cause I'm young and livin' like a centerfold?
Is it cause I'm takin' you places that you ain't been before?
By the looks of it, this love is too fake
We might as well just call the dentist, yo
Can you see why I'm trippin', though?
'Cause man, if shit's like this now
Then what's it gon' be like when we get to the pinnacle?
And I suppose only time's gon' tell
But as of now, we're doin' fine, no help

Girl, you're a piece of work that God designed so well
But you don't need to check the worth before you ride with me, put that man aside
If he's all about bein' with someone just to get inside
Or if he's hopin' and prayin' that you gon' stay when he gets caught
When he slips up, fightin', pullin' all sorts and types of straws
Now the jig's up, left broken in pieces like a jigsaw, hey
But that's just how shit goes when you let the shallow love get hope
Girl, I just wanna know

Is this shallow love? (Wassup?)
Or is it something real? (Tell me, is it something real, girl?)
You make it hard to deal (so hard to deal)
Not knowin' if this is shallow love (come on)
The way we live so well (so well)
Can make it hard to tell (uh, uh)
What you in it for? (Yeah, yeah)
What you really in it for? (Come on, yeah)

Nowadays these girls be so ruthless
2AM, knockin' on my front door, who's this? (Who that?)
Girl, I don't even know your name (no, I don't)
This ain't the time, yo (no)
Oh my God, this is so insane
Like, I ain't even got your number saved in my iPhone

Is this shallow love? (Wassup? Is this shallow?)
Or is it something real? (Uh)
You make it hard to deal (uh, uh)
Not knowin' if this is shallow love (wassup? Tell me, girl)
The way we live so well (so well)
Can make it hard to tell
What you in it for? What you really in it for?

Tell me now (damn)
