Lyrics
Only took me three years, let me tell you 'bout my soul inside
Reflecting on a three-year journey and sharing insights about the inner self.
I got three fears, one is dreaming big but never trying
Expressing three fears: fear of dreaming big without trying, fear of not surviving a leap year, and fear of not speaking one's mind.
Two's a leap year, will I make it past without dying
Contemplating the challenges of a leap year and the uncertainty of survival.
And the third is if I never speak my mind
Fearing the consequences of not expressing oneself honestly.
Guess I've dealt with one because my name sound like the sun
Indicating overcoming one fear, possibly related to self-identity.
And it's more than who I want to be it's who I will become
Emphasizing the journey towards self-realization and personal growth.
Kendrick made me realize that the father and the son cannot live apart
Mentioning Kendrick Lamar's influence on realizing the connection between the father, the son, and the unity of the heart.
Fingers on the same hand of the heart
Highlighting the interconnectedness of relationships and emotions.
Lift me up, let it spark
Asking for support and inspiration to uplift the spirit.
I've seen the way when it was dark
Recalling moments of darkness and challenges.
But my life didn't ever change until I forced myself to start
Stating that life changed only when the narrator took initiative.
And I'd tell you there's a moral but my tale is not a story
Acknowledging the absence of a clear moral in the personal journey.
See my life on Sunday glory, call that movies in the morning
Describing life experiences with a touch of glory, resembling movies in the morning.
Three years, only took me three
Reiterating the transformative three-year period.
Three years, only took me three
-Three years, only took me three
-My perspective got flipped, but don't ask me what I see
Asserting a changed perspective without explicitly revealing its content.
Only took me three years, let me tell you 'bout my soul inside
Repeating the theme of a shifted perspective and urging not to inquire about its specifics.
I got three fears, one is dreaming big but never trying
-Two's a leap year, will I make it past without dying
-And the third is if I never speak my mind
-Three years, only took me three
-Three years, only took me three
-Three years, only took me three
-My perspective got flipped, but don't ask me what I see
-My doubts ain't been erased, I've just embraced it
Acknowledging doubts but embracing them rather than erasing them.
I've had too many people talk to me but mask their faces
Noting instances of people hiding their true selves while communicating.
You might be feeling lil' awkward or shy
Addressing feelings of awkwardness or shyness, hinting at hidden motives.
But if it isn't one of those then you've got something to hide
-Because I've seen the sides flipped, I've had people try shit
Referring to experiences of deception and manipulation by others.
Feed me lies, watch my eyes, on some sneaky sly shit
-If they getting caught, apologize, then why'd you lie bitch
Expressing frustration and using strong language in response to lies.
Now you got me cussing, god damn, say goodbye bitch
-Three years, only took me three
Repeating the transformative three-year period with a guarded perspective.
Three years, only took me three
-Three years, only took me three
-My perspective got flipped, but don't ask me what I see
-Only took me three years, let me tell you 'bout my soul inside
Reiterating the themes of self-discovery, fears, and a changed perspective while maintaining secrecy about the details.
I got three fears, one is dreaming big but never trying
-Two's a leap year, will I make it past without dying
-And the third is if I never speak my mind
-Three years, only took me three
-Three years, only took me three
-Three years, only took me three
-My perspective got flipped, but don't ask me what I see
