Talking Bout
Unveiling the Complex Dance of Love in 'Talking Bout'Lyrics
Stay with me love
Expressing a desire for the partner to stay in the relationship
Don't let me down
Requesting the partner not to disappoint or betray
These are the words that you said
Referring to previous promises or declarations made during their initial meeting
When you met me
Recalling the time when they first encountered each other
We have become
Describing the deepening of their relationship beyond initial expectations
More than we vowed
Highlighting commitment and surpassing their initial vows
Kneeled to the world
Symbolic act of submission to societal expectations for acceptance
Just for them to accept me
Expressing the sacrifice made for societal approval
But I don't think I'm right for you
Expressing self-doubt about being the right partner
Loving you is something I would like to do
Desire to love despite uncertainty and self-doubt
Even if I try to get away from it
Acknowledging the difficulty of distancing oneself from love
Rather let it go cuz I don't like to choose
Preference to let go rather than make difficult choices
And we know you would hate to see
Acknowledging potential negative outcomes in the future
What I might become when my time is due
Awareness of personal transformation and its impact
And I know you would hate to be the person
Acknowledging the burden placed on the partner
That they know I'm always lying to
Concern about the partner being aware of constant deceit
Yea, but you might never understand
Acknowledging potential lack of understanding from the partner
But I really wanna call you out
Expressing a desire to confront the partner
I don't mean to be so out of hand
Apologizing for being out of control
But I be what I be talkin bout
Embracing one's identity and actions, even if unconventional
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhh)
Reiteration of embracing one's identity and actions
Be what i be talking bout
-(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohhh)
-Be what i be talking bout
-It could be hard knowing we've found
Recognizing challenges in the relationship
Reasons to part with a heart that was empty
Reflecting on the difficulty of parting from a once-empty heart
If she stopped holding me down
Emphasizing the partner's role in providing emotional support
Things would be dark and the monsters would get me
Warning about potential negative consequences if support is withdrawn
But I don't think I'm right for you
Repetition of themes related to self-doubt, love, and potential negative outcomes

Asserting independence and defiance against judgment
I never lose so it's usually nothing
-To let all my music consume what's been buggin' me
-Deep down inside I'm the one that they wanna be
-Ya'll going through it, I know that you frontin'

Now I'm ignoring whenever you call

Doing the things that I've wanted to
