Cassie - Excuses Lyrics






Learnin' how to say no
Even when you don't understand why
'Cause it's for me
It's not about you even though I feel you want it to be
Not stuck in a maybe
But sure what I want to say

I gotta care about myself more than I have been
Because I just can't go on being your air
If I can't breathe
I can't be your strength
If I don't take care of me
This is an excuse that is needed
This is an excuse that is needed
Lately I've been feeling greedy
So there you have my reason
This is an excuse that is needed

Let me know do I need a life jacket
You know my tears fall that much?
Baby, I don't want you stranded
If you're not gonna be
Sure about what you say
'Cause baby, it's that way with me
'Cause I don't use my words if I don't know
Exactly what they mean

I gotta care about myself more than I have been
'Cause I just can't go on being your air
If I can't breathe
I can't be your strength
If I don't take care of me
This is an excuse that is needed
This is an excuse that is needed
Lately I've been feeling greedy
So there you have my reason
This is an excuse that is needed

  33. M.... S....

    This is what I love to hear from Cassie. Her voice reminds me of Chanté Moore. This track reminds me of a song on Chanté Moore’s 1 of 4 EP. The song is titled “Where You Want Me.” Kudos Cassie 🔥🔥🔥❤️

  36. Q.... ....

    Cassie has always been a fav of mine that was in my peripheral but if she keeps this style up she'll move into clear sight on my playlist. I love this & her voice matured/ got deeper. Very sade old school authentic vibes. Alex was the air that she needed.

  37. N.... G....

    K.... S....

    @NO FILTER MMA ! yes. I listened to that one. It has some gems on it.

    K.... S....

    @K Swan most def. Cassie can sing. I love how shes embraced the robotic monotone nature of her vocals. Its very icy

  41. T.... T....

    Wow. I actually like this!! Fiyah!

  42. g.... g....

    She should have left Diddy's selfish a** a long time ago. Good for you Cass ♥️

    For you, Diddy:
    Learnin' how to say no
    Even when you don't understand why
    'Cause it's for me
    It's not about you even though I feel you want it to be
    Not stuck in a maybe

    [Chorus]
    I gotta care about myself more than I have been
    Because I just can't go on being your air
    If I can't breathe
    I can't be your strength
    If I don't take care of me
    This is an excuse that is needed
    This is an excuse that is needed
    Lately I've been feeling depleted
    So there you have my reason
    This is an excuse that is needed

    [Verse 2]
    Let me know do I need a life jacket
    You know my tears fall that much?
    Baby I don't want you stranded
    If you're not gonna be
    Sure about what you say
    'Cause baby it's that way with me
    'Cause I don't use my words if I don't know
    Exactly what they mean

    [Chorus]

    This is an excuse that is needed
    Lately I've been feeling depleted
    So there you have my reason
    This is an excuse that is needed

    [Outro]
    This is an excuse that is needed
    Lately I've been feeling depleted
    So there you have my reason
    This is an excuse that is needed

    L.... A....

    Lou Ane thank youuu

  47. a.... D....

    seems like jhene aiko and ella mai’s songs

    a.... D....

    Nah...dont put ella mai in the same convo as cassie and jhene...they been in too long

    a.... D....

    NO FILTER MMA ! humm yeah..ure right

  48. N.... ....

    Sounds good!!!

  49. P.... S....

    Sweetest thing I've ever known, sounds familiar...🤔

  50. b.... ....

    Her vocals have grown.. I’m impressed.

  51. L.... D....

    This dont sound like her tbh

    L.... D....

    Lyric Dolberry hope its not a milli vanilli

  52. L.... ....

    Vocally I knew Cassie could do more with her voice(listen to her song “When your body’s talking”)! Finally she’s doing it! She sounds a bit like Tamia but than softer and smoother ofcourse! Can’t wait for the album!❤️

    L.... ....

    Lossy10 wow ! A new album? I’m excited to hear it 🙌🏽 This is a whole vibe !

  53. k.... d....

    I'm loving this!! It says a lot that after leaving Diddy she has a new relationship, baby on the way, new music and a whole new vibe. Seems like Diddy was holding her back. I'm happy for her!

    k.... d....

    @Nude Ivy so you'd stick with a man for half a decade and say he loved you uuuuumKay bye beloved

    k.... d....

    Now Diddy was holding her back? This not only disrespectful to him but to her as if her performance only got better because of him more or less. Youre a clown.

    k.... d....

    Exactly. Look at Kim Porter. He cheated and cheated and kept having kids. But then confessed his "love" for her when she passed. She's starting her own lil family now with no baby mama drama.

  54. l.... ....

    There she is!!! Go Cassie!

  55. 9.... 9....

    Loving it! ❤️

  56. L.... ....

    M.... H....

    Not even her mixtape rockabyebaby??? It was dope af

  64. M.... T....

    Dedicated to diddy!!!!!!

  65. T.... M....

    The beat is too overwhelming and loud. The bass and snare is too loud. I love the Lyrics and Vocals are A+.. I'm SOO PROUD of her!!!#

    T.... M....

    Lauren hill sample the sweet thing

  66. A.... C....

    Beautiful but the beat could have been blended with the melody much better. Her voice is sounding beautiful though. Go Cass!!
