Lyrics
Was your love for real or was it fantasy?
Questioning the authenticity of past love, wondering if it was real or just a fantasy.
I don't know if I can do it again cuz every time it still damage me
Expressing reluctance to go through emotional pain again, as each experience has been damaging.
I've been losing my sanity, oh
Acknowledging a deterioration of mental well-being or stability.
Don't wanna do this alone
Desiring companionship, not wanting to face challenges alone.
Feeling like I've been here before
Feeling a sense of déjà vu, as if facing similar situations before.
Am I making sense? I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about making sense of the situation.
I can't sleep, I gotta face it
Unable to sleep, confronting and dealing with issues.
Every night fucked up getting faded
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, possibly using substances to cope.
Wintertime, the sun gone too long
Feeling the impact of a prolonged winter metaphorically, a sense of darkness or coldness.
4 a.m., I'm still up impatient
Staying awake late into the night, possibly due to impatience or restlessness.
Swear that all my life
Asserting a life of challenges and struggles.
Out the muscle, had to earn my stripes
Building success through hard work and determination.
Learned the game, but I had to fight
Learning from life's experiences, sometimes involving conflict.
So let me know if you are riding for real
Asking for confirmation of genuine commitment from others.
For real
Reiterating the need for authenticity and commitment in relationships.
For real
-Let me know if you are riding for real
-For real
-For real
-Let me know if you are riding for real
Seeking confirmation of loyalty and dedication.
Are you down for real?
Continuing to question the sincerity and commitment of others in life.
Are you really for me? (For real)
-In this life we live (For real)
-We always playing for keeps (Let me know if you are riding for real)
-So are you down for real?
-Are you really for me? (For real)
-In this life we live (For real)
-Are you riding for me? (Let me know if you are riding for real)
Seeking affirmation of commitment from those around.
Are you riding for real?
Repeating the question about real commitment in relationships.
I'm done with your shit and I had enough
Expressing dissatisfaction and frustration with a past relationship.
I did the math, it ain't adding up
-They try me again, I might body somebody
-'Til bodies on bodies, I don't give a fuck
-And I ain't losing no sleep
-For you, if you ain't for me, no
-I ain't losing no sleep, no
-I ain't losing no sleep, no
Reiterating the lack of sleep over a relationship that is not reciprocal.
So I apologize for acting wild
Apologizing for previous erratic behavior.
I take my pain and burn it down like a Black & Mild
Transforming pain into something less harmful, like burning a Black & Mild.
You say you know me, but before now you were not around
Expressing skepticism about those who claim to know the artist intimately.
So how could you judge me?
-If I ever showed my heart, just know you lucky
Highlighting the rarity of revealing vulnerability and the luck associated with witnessing it.
Tell me how could I trust you if you don't trust me?
Questioning the possibility of trust without reciprocity.
Tell me why would I love you if you don't love me?
Challenging the concept of love without genuine expression.
Or you don't show it
Noticing a lack of visible love or affection from the other person.
You too bogus
Criticizing the other person for being insincere or deceptive.
Bitch, you must be
-Playing a fantasy, living a lie
Accusing someone of living in a fantasy or falsehood.
How am I doing? I'm staying alive
Confirming survival and resilience despite challenges.
I got a red dot, tunnel vision
Using metaphorical language about focus and determination.
That's an eagle eye
-Put faith in your passion and you might just make it
Encouraging belief in one's passion as a path to success.
My new destination is world domination
Expressing confidence in an uncertain future and inevitable success.
I'm keeping 'em guessing
-My future is destined
-So, it ain't a question
-I'm riding for real
Affirming commitment and seeking confirmation from others.
For real
-For real
-Let me know if you are riding for real
-Are you riding for real? (For real)
-Are you riding for real? (For real)
Repeating the question of commitment for emphasis.
Are you riding for real? (Let me know if you are riding for real)
-Are you down for real?
Continuing to seek assurance and commitment in relationships.
Are you really for me?
-In this life we live
-We always playing for keeps
-So are you down for real?
-Are you really for me?
-In this life we live
-Are you riding for me?
-Are you riding for real?
Reiterating the question of genuine commitment in relationships.
