Throwback

Throwback is a person like oh so whack They do something for you, then they throw it right back A throwback person knows right from the start That when it was done, it wasn't from the heart They do it, but with great expectation Yeah it's fine, no limitations But on mad day, they'll cut you no slack Cause they can't wait to throw it all back Remember that time I drove 2 hours in the rain to come get you If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have no job You ought to be glad I'm still yo friend Yeah, when nobody else was there for ya, I made sure yall had food to eat You ain't said all that when I gave you money for yo rent I'm the one who let you come by me when you was mad with yo boyfriend You ain't paid me back from the last time I lent you $40.00 Member I let you have that red dress Who was the one you called when yo car broke down You ain't never did nothing for me I'm the only one who be looking out for you Don't nobody else do nothing for you We might know, or we might be For Throwback is a he or she Yeah, everyone know Throwback, there's one all around They'll find a way to bring it up and won't ever live it down Throw it right back in yo face, as if you didn't know They did something for you a long time ago Throwback shouldn't be like that And neither should we We should do it with good intent and then just let it be

I am so lucky; I do not know any "throw back" person and do not believe I have ever met one.
