Lyrics
Ugh
Expression of frustration or discomfort.
Over analyze
Reflecting on the tendency to overthink or scrutinize.
I’m trying to do twice as much but in half the time
Attempting to increase productivity but within a shorter timeframe.
That means gotta move like a locomotive
Comparing movement to that of a train, emphasizing the need for momentum.
It’s cool if you know the motive if not it looks like I’m passing time
Acknowledging that actions may seem aimless without understanding the underlying motivation.
What a passive time
Describing a period of inactivity or lack of initiative.
Pardon me if I come off passive aggressive
Apologizing for a potential appearance of passive-aggressive behavior.
But right now I’m just trying to materialize what I fantasize
Expressing a desire to turn fantasies into reality.
Shit, It’s taking a toll on me
Feeling the emotional toll of pursuing material goals.
Money, cars, and hoes got a hold on me
Acknowledging the influence of money, cars, and relationships on decisions.
I don’t even know who could fold on me
Uncertainty about who can be relied upon in challenging times.
That’s why I just play the background and just watch it unfold
Choosing to observe rather than actively participate in unfolding events.
Lot of stories untold
Recognizing the presence of untold stories.
I don’t say much
Preferring silence and keeping personal matters private.
Really I just keep it to myself
Personal tendency to keep struggles to oneself.
See I always feel the weakest when I’m crying out for help
Admitting vulnerability when seeking help.
I used to ask about my dad but he never came around
Reflecting on absent parental figures and self-reliance.
So I put my head down and tied my shoes on by myself
Independently learning essential life skills due to absence of guidance.
Learned to tie a tie
Mastering practical skills while emotionally detached.
Couldn’t tell you really how I felt
Concealing true emotions while learning to tie a tie.
As I typed it into google how to tie it by myself
Searching for guidance online, possibly to compensate for lack of mentorship.
Dawg
Expression of emotional distress or empathy.
If I could shed a tear I would but I’m
Inability to express emotions physically.
Stiffer than wood and cold like a Polar Bear’s toes yeah
Describing emotional stiffness and coldness.
That was on the nose but that’s just how I proposed it to be
Acknowledging straightforward communication about feelings.
Dawg I swear I’m at my best when I’m close to defeat
Finding strength and resilience in challenging situations.
But how close can you get? yeah yeah yeah
Questioning the limits of endurance and proximity to failure.
So close that I can smell it
Being very close to achieving a goal.
They say whoever smelt it dealt it but
Playing on the saying "whoever smelt it dealt it" in a metaphorical sense.
I ain't dealt shit and I ain't felt shit and
Expressing a lack of accomplishment and emotional numbness.
I've been hell bent but
Experiencing strong determination despite hardships.
Momma been saying that I'm heaven sent and
Acknowledging maternal support and belief in divine purpose.
She been going through it
Recognizing the struggles of a loved one.
Couldn't pay the bills and she told me that she's suicidal
Confronting the gravity of a family member's emotional state.
Tears down the cheek of my idol
Sympathizing with the emotional pain of an admired figure.
Told her that I got her and that's hand on the Bible on God
Making a solemn promise or commitment.
Nigga I'd be lying if I ain't consider fraud
Admitting the temptation to engage in fraudulent behavior.
Shawty make it clap like a round of applause
Complimenting someone's dance moves with a metaphorical comparison.
Told her hold that shit and I put her on pause
Pausing a relationship for personal priorities.
I got other shit that I'm doing for the cause
Balancing personal goals alongside relationship commitments.
If you leave me your loss
Asserting personal value in the relationship.
But shit I'll take the blame I'm trying to work on my flaws
Taking responsibility for personal shortcomings and expressing a desire for improvement.
But shit take time and I ain't got time yeah
Recognizing the need for time to address personal issues.
I ain't got time yeah
Emphasizing the lack of time for certain matters.
