Lyrics

There’s a lot of pressure

Expressing feeling overwhelmed by external expectations or demands.

On me

Acknowledging a personal burden or responsibility.

Something in the air I

Sensing a tense atmosphere or situation.

Can’t breathe

Feeling suffocated or restricted.

You’re looking for somebody

Someone is seeking a person with similar qualities.

Like me

Suggesting that being the sought-after person comes with a cost.

I think that you should know it

Implying the information is valuable and not easily obtained.

Ain’t cheap

Highlighting that the mentioned knowledge or quality is not readily accessible.


One strike you’re out

Warning of consequences for a single mistake.

Cause you know I’ve had

Expressing dissatisfaction or fatigue from a previous experience.

Enough of that

Indicating a desire for change or improvement.


Two strikes I’m done

Acknowledging a second chance but not finding it enjoyable.

This ain’t no fun

Stating that repeating the situation is not pleasurable.

If your playing dumb

Criticizing someone for feigning ignorance or playing games.


Spare me number three

Requesting to be spared from a third undesirable occurrence.

You won’t fuck with me

Asserting that further negative actions will not be tolerated.

What you playin for

Prompting the question of the other person's motives or intentions.

Give me more or leave

Demanding either more commitment or departure.


Spare me number three

Reiterating the plea to avoid a third unfavorable situation.

You won’t fuck with me

Emphasizing the rejection of negative interactions.

What you playin for

Asking about the purpose or goals in the relationship.

Give me more or leave

Setting the expectation for increased dedication or termination.


No hay nada más que ver aquí

Switching to Spanish, suggesting a change or different perspective.

Se nota que no estas pa mi

Implying that the person is not suitable for the speaker.

Tú me sigues tratando así

Describing a negative treatment, leading to distancing.

Y Yo me alejo de ti

Announcing the speaker's withdrawal from the relationship.

Estar conmigo no es tan complicado

Claiming that being with the speaker is not difficult.

Un poco más no demasiado

Suggesting a desire for a bit more effort, but not too much.

Si yo todo te lo dije claro

Stating that the speaker was clear about their expectations.

Pero me ha salido caro

Expressing a negative consequence for being straightforward.


Spare me number three

Reiterating the plea to avoid a third undesirable situation.

You won’t fuck with me

Emphasizing the unacceptability of further negative actions.

What you playin for

Posing the question of intentions or motives in the relationship.

Give me more or leave

Reiterating the demand for increased commitment or departure.


Spare me number three

Stressing the refusal of negative interactions.

You won’t fuck with me

Repeating the assertion that further negative actions are unacceptable.

What you playin for

Asking about the purpose or goals in the relationship once again.

Give me more or leave

Reiterating the expectation for increased dedication or termination.
