Lyrics

I can make it known, I can make it hard, down in the lime life yeah

I am capable of making things publicly known and I can make them challenging, especially in the glamorous and showy lifestyle

Or they can make it known, could just stomp down in the streets

Alternatively, others can make things publicly known by taking forceful action in the streets

Where you say your woman got a pristine smile the kind of like

Refers to someone's woman having a seemingly flawless smile, but the narrator has never witnessed it personally

But I never saw it, yeah, yeah, yeah

The narrator has never seen the woman's pristine smile despite references to it

Like one time, daddy used to sit me down

A memory of the narrator's father sitting them down and physically disciplining them because the narrator was unaware or uninformed about something

And smack me round, cause I never know

The father used to physically punish the narrator for not knowing something

U-la-la, u-la-la, u-la-la

Repetitive sounds, possibly indicating confusion, frustration, or chaos

What have I done to my son, no ...on

Questioning what the narrator has done to upset their son, possibly echoing the father's past actions

I swapped the credit card I saw the words with the demon hearts and they scream

The narrator acknowledges using a credit card and seeing words associated with demonic imagery, leading to accusations of mental deficiency, though others don't investigate deeply

He's just retard! ... But they don't even look hard

Others label the narrator derogatorily without understanding the deeper context or investigating further

U-la-la, u-la-la, u-la-la

Repetition of sounds indicating a similar emotional state to previous lines


Whoa, who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend, who's your?

Asking about someone's boyfriend, a repetition indicating curiosity or a desire for information

Ah, he goes to, he goes to, he goes

Unclear, potentially referring to the boyfriend's whereabouts or actions

I wanna see his dumb face oh

Expressing a desire to see the boyfriend's face with a negative connotation

Take pictures, take pictures, take pictures

Expressing a desire to capture moments involving the boyfriend, possibly for negative reasons

When runs down on boulevard

Implies observing someone running down a boulevard

He said, oh, oh, why would I want something

Questioning the need or desire for something

Why would I need someone but I'm

Expressing a lack of necessity for someone, despite being open to change

Willing to change, willing to change

Being willing to change despite not desiring something

Oh, oh, why what I want something

Questioning the need or desire for something

Why would I need someone but I'm

Expressing a lack of necessity for someone, despite being open to change

Willing to change, willing to change, oh

Being willing to change despite not desiring something


I walk around, I watch the children play down on Broadway

Observing children playing on Broadway

But sometimes I think, I can't even take that anymore

Feeling unable to handle or cope with the innocence of children playing

Like I talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices if there's

Conversing or engaging with inner thoughts or voices, even in their absence, possibly indicating internal turmoil or loneliness

No voices I just talk to myself

Speaking to oneself when no external voices are present

I talk, talk, talk, talk to the voices if there's

Repetition of engaging with inner voices or thoughts

No voices I just talk to myself

Speaking to oneself when no external voices are present

But I don't go talk about Jesus anymore

No longer discussing religious or spiritual matters related to Jesus


Whoa, who's your boyfriend, who's your boyfriend, who's your?

Repeating the query about someone's boyfriend, possibly indicating fixation or curiosity

Getting close, I just... dark clouds, whoa, whoa

Unclear reference to dark clouds or uncertainty surrounding the boyfriend

Why would I need someone but I'm

Questioning the need or desire for something

Willing to change, willing to change

Being willing to change despite not desiring something

Oh, oh, now what I want something

Questioning the need or desire for something

Why would I need someone but I'm

Expressing a lack of necessity for someone, despite being open to change

Willing to change, willing to change, oh

Being willing to change despite not desiring something

Making love dear, I guess I'll to you, oh yeah

Expressing intimacy or connection, possibly indicating affection or emotional closeness

Days coming, children, so you don't wait up

Advising children not to stay awake late, indicating care or concern

I'm just so scared that I love all the life

Expressing fear or apprehension about loving aspects of life

Oh yeah, all the life, waiting like before, you know

Repeating the notion of waiting apprehensively
