Seeking Validation: Journey of Self-Discovery Through Adversity
Lyrics
Look,
Expressing the beginning of a statement or thought.
I just wanna say, are you proud of me?
Asking if someone is proud of the speaker.
Are you proud of all the things I'm accomplishing?
Inquiring about pride regarding the speaker's achievements.
It's amazing I got people that are following
Highlighting the presence of supportive followers.
Friends stick around no matter what is happening
Acknowledging loyal friends in challenging times.
But I just wanna say, are you feeling me?
Questioning if the listener understands the speaker.
When I say, the closest people tend to hurt me
Noting that close individuals sometimes cause emotional pain.
I don't understand it but it's helping me
Expressing confusion about the hurtful experiences being beneficial.
Be a better person for the future me
Striving to become a better person for future growth.
Got a better looking car it's a Mazda 3
Boasting about a new and improved car, a Mazda 3.
I'm sorry I needa flex on everybody
Apologizing for flaunting achievements to everyone.
Hope I don't lose my soul because of money
Expressing concern about losing morality due to wealth.
All I'm missing now is a beautiful shorty
Desiring a romantic partner to complete the speaker's life.
One that'll shut me up when I get prideful
Seeking a partner who keeps the speaker humble.
Warn me when I'm getting outta control
Wishing for someone to point out when the speaker is out of control.
Loving me when I don't even know
Expressing gratitude for love even when unaware of it.
If I fulfilled my purpose or put on a show, yo
Reflecting on whether the speaker has fulfilled their purpose.
Man I really can't deny
Admitting a significant personal transformation.
I'm becoming someone else
Acknowledging a change in identity.
And I really cannot lie
Emphasizing the honesty about personal transformation.
I have made my bed in hell
Admitting to facing consequences for past actions.
I'm burning for some affirmation
Expressing a deep desire for acknowledgment and approval.
I want you to
Indicating the speaker's wish for the listener to...
Tell me that you're proud of me
...express pride in the speaker's accomplishments.
I could say girl you're just my friend
Suggesting a potential romantic interest while downplaying it.
I could say girl this is the end
Hinting at the possibility of the end of a relationship.
Honestly you'll never become my wife
Rejecting the idea of a serious commitment.
Why you tripping girl, go get a life
Dismissively advising someone to focus on their own life.
I can tell a lot of things when I meet you
Claiming an ability to discern true intentions when meeting people.
Got a gift to tell the real from the fakes too
Boasting about the skill of distinguishing genuine from fake.
You're talking awful lot of trash k, that's cool
Noting excessive talk without corresponding actions.
When you gonna have actions you fool?
Questioning when someone will turn words into actions.
Mess with me ain't gonna get you far
Warning that messing with the speaker won't lead to success.
I'm too real don't even know who you are
Asserting authenticity and expressing a lack of knowledge about others.
I got a new phone now who dis'?
Announcing a change in contact information.
All y'all shut up before you get dissed
Threatening to criticize or dismiss those who speak negatively.
I can just put you on the spot
Claiming the ability to expose others but choosing not to.
I don't cause that isn't what I want
Clarifying a preference for kindness over confrontation.
I'm just too kind man I swear
Asserting the speaker's kindness despite internal thoughts.
Thoughts on my mind but I don't care
Acknowledging conflicting thoughts but expressing indifference.
Man I really can't deny
Reiterating the acknowledgment of personal transformation.
I'm becoming someone else
Acknowledging the ongoing change in identity.
And I really cannot lie
Emphasizing the honesty about personal transformation.
I have made my bed in hell
Admitting to facing consequences for past actions.
I'm burning for some affirmation
Expressing a deep desire for acknowledgment and approval.
I want you to
Indicating the speaker's wish for the listener to...
Tell me that you're proud of me
...express pride in the speaker
