Lyrics

I don't know what I've done to you

The speaker is unsure of their actions towards someone

But I know what you got got coming

They anticipate repercussions or consequences for the other person

I don't know what you're gonna do

Uncertainty about the other person's future actions

But I know that you can't keep running

Confidence that the other person cannot evade consequences indefinitely

All that running and gunning's for the birds and shit

Actions of running and being aggressive are futile or meaningless

Backshots ice heart call that frozone dick

A play on words, referring to sex with a cold-hearted partner

Break a piece for my jack on the rocks and sip

Drinking alcohol, possibly to cope or relax

Now my hair's growing on some Samson shit

Feeling empowered or strong, similar to the story of Samson in the Bible

Ego on a Kanye tip

Comparing their ego to that of Kanye West

Brand new fit you can't match this drip

Confidence in having a style that others cannot match

Slop top yeah she'll swirl and spit

Sexual reference, possibly about a partner's performance

After this, I can't fuck with a basic bitch

Declaring a refusal to engage with someone ordinary

Don't drive but I Uber the whip

Using a ride-sharing service instead of driving

No brekky in bed I'm gonna always dip

Not staying for breakfast after intimate encounters

She'll send a pic for the road of the metal in her nips like

Receiving suggestive photos from a partner

Hey where did you go?

Asking someone's whereabouts

Come back

Expressing a desire for someone's return

I miss you, call me or something

Yearning for contact or communication

I don't know what I've done to you

Reiteration of uncertainty about their actions towards someone

But I know what you got got coming

Expectation of impending consequences for the other person

I don't know what you're gonna do

Uncertain about the other person's future actions

But I know that you can't keep running

Confidence that the other person cannot avoid consequences

I don't know what I've done to you

Reiteration of uncertainty about their actions towards someone

But I know what you got got coming

Anticipation of repercussions or consequences for the other person

I don't know what you're gonna do

Uncertainty about the other person's future actions

But I know that you can't keep running

Confidence that the other person cannot escape consequences

Are you on thе run run

Repetitive questioning about whether someone is fleeing

Are you on the run run

-

Are you on thе run run

-

Are you on thе run run

2020, yeah the year I lost my heart

Referring to a personal loss suffered in 2020

2020, when the world fell apart

Highlighting the global upheaval and chaos in 2020

2020's for the birds and their vision

Dismissing 2020 as insignificant or worthless

Cause they can't see that this the year that the revolution starts

2020 is seen as the beginning of a significant change or revolution

2020 fuck your grade and your chart

Disregarding traditional measures of success or achievement in 2020

2020 put my sword in your heart

Symbolic act of causing harm or pain in 2020

2020 when piss on your grave, pour liquor in the dirt light one up dance

Defiant celebration or rebellion against negativity in 2020

Shoulda really kept it G from the start

Advising staying true to oneself from the beginning

Shoulda really played your role, played your part

Suggesting the importance of fulfilling one's role or responsibilities

Live once don't play no games, while I'm here speed race and put my soul in the art

Embracing life fully and dedicating oneself to artistic expression

Crossed me once you won't get a second chance

Warning that betraying the speaker won't be forgiven

Two-step and a pivot at a glance

Dancing away from confrontation or danger

So you won't see what's coming when I done up your dance

Ensuring retaliation is unexpected and powerful

I don't know what I've done to you

Reiteration of uncertainty about their actions towards someone and anticipation of consequences for the other person

But I know what you got got coming

-

I don't know what you're gonna do

-

But I know that you can't keep running

-

I don't know what I've done to you

-

But I know what you got got coming

-

I don't know what you're gonna do

-

But I know that you can't keep running
