Lyrics
This the type of pain that can bring a man down
This expresses the intense emotional pain capable of deeply affecting a man.
When you tell her about your past that you been hurt now
Sharing past hurts with someone, only to experience similar pain when they enter your life.
When you let her in she come and do the same now
Opening up to someone who ends up causing the same emotional distress.
So I put chains on my heart to lock this pain out
Protecting oneself from further emotional pain by metaphorically locking the heart.
Nowadays I sip the liquor just to feel numb
Using liquor to numb the emotional pain in the present.
Bad decisions like I nigga took that plain rum
Making regrettable decisions, akin to consuming plain rum.
Try to play me I confront now they play dumb
Confronting those who try to deceive, even if they pretend not to know.
Lusting over love overtime can turn dangerous
Warning about the potential dangers of excessive desire for love over time.
And I feel like I can't trust nobody cause i know how it feel like
Expressing a lack of trust due to previous experiences.
When you give them all but they never really feel that
Feeling unappreciated despite giving one's all in a relationship.
Got me messed up to the point I cannot heal that
Being emotionally damaged to the point of impeding healing.
And I feel like I can't trust nobody cause i know how it feel like
Reiteration of a lack of trust based on past experiences.
When you give them all but they never really feel that
Continuation of the theme of feeling unappreciated in relationships.
Got me messed up to the point I cannot heal that
Repeating the emotional damage that hinders the healing process.
I used to dream about myself crossing the boarder
Reflecting on past dreams of success, now overshadowed by a chaotic life.
Now like my life is like a mess I need some
Expressing a need for order in the current disarray.
Order
A reference to the disruption caused by losing a daughter.
It was twinning till a nigga lost a daughter
Desiring love even at the cost of losing personal essence or identity.
Hungry for some love I even had to lose my aura
Describing a lack of patience in a relationship that resulted in heartbreak.
She wasn't patient with me she just ripped my heart out
Choosing not to display vulnerability in the face of heartbreak.
But I never shed a tear i had to man up
Toughening up emotionally after a difficult experience.
Nigga mad at me because I made it outta the gutta
Facing criticism for success after emerging from a challenging environment.
They don't wanna see me shine so they took the light out
Encountering opposition that tries to dim one's success.
I see red flags turning into orange then green
Observing warning signs in relationships, progressing from red to green.
Used to be the type that she's leaving on seen
Transforming from being ignored to receiving attention.
Now she on the phone showing body on screen
Noticing a change in behavior, possibly involving explicit communication.
They won't show love you when you down
Experiencing a lack of support when facing challenges.
But when you at top, they gon try to come around
Warning about opportunistic behavior when achieving success.
Fake love Ion never need it right now
Rejecting insincere love at the present moment.
This the type of pain that can bring a man down
Reiteration of the intense pain capable of bringing a man down.
When you tell her about your past that you been hurt ah
Recounting past hurts when sharing one's history.
And when you let her in she come do the same now
Experiencing repeated pain when allowing someone into one's life.
So I put chains on my heart to lock this pain out
Taking measures to protect oneself from emotional pain.
Nowadays I sip the liquor just to feel numb
Continuing to use alcohol as a means of emotional escape.
Bad decisions like a nigga took that plain rum
Repeating the theme of regrettable decisions, akin to consuming plain rum.
Try to play me I confront now they play dumb
Confronting those who attempt to deceive, even if they feign ignorance.
Lusting over love overtime can turn dangerous
Highlighting the potential danger in excessively pursuing love over time.
And I feel like I can't trust nobody cause i know how it feels like
Reiteration of the difficulty in trusting others due to past experiences.
When you give them all but they never really feel that
Expressing frustration at not being truly appreciated despite giving one's all.
Got me messed up to the point I cannot heal that
Acknowledging emotional damage that impedes the healing process.
And I feel like I can't trust nobody cause i know how it feel like
Reiteration of the challenge in trusting others due to past experiences.
When you give them all but they never really feel that
Recounting the frustration of not being genuinely appreciated despite giving one's all.
Got me messed up to the point I cannot heal that
Reiterating the emotional damage hindering the healing process.
