This song is from the album Testimony(2014), released on Apr 15, 2014.
I loved the chords of this song, especially the C# Major chord that comes towards the end of the lines. That chord builds up the right pressure towards the chorus and then the chorus explodes right in your face. I loved the way August sings the choruses and the verses. The lyrics are really beautiful and the rhythm adds a nice groove to the song. The background music felt just right and complimented the vocals.

Girl I know sometimes that I mistreat you, and you still come back
       D                               C#m
And I see your homegirls try to reach you,
C#m                   F#m
But you ain't hearing none of that
                D
They try to get through, they say I ain't the move

And you ain't gotta have no fear, no I'll always be here for you, 
C#m             F#m
Girl I'm here for you

And I know you may not end up with me, it ain't gotta be me
                 C#m                    F#m

Take a look in the mirror

Baby girl you a prize
D                                    C#m            F#m
And any man that don't see that you should let his ass go, believe that
