Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of acknowledgment or agreement
Wassup?
Casual greeting
Yeah
Reiteration of agreement or affirmation
Say Dat
Encouraging someone to speak or express themselves
Yeah
Reiteration of casual greeting
Wassup?
Casual inquiry about well-being
Don't care about the mess she cause
Indifference towards the chaos caused by a person
She'll throw her dirt all in your face
Describing someone who reveals negative aspects about others
She up and down like seesaws
Comparing someone's behavior to the ups and downs of a seesaw
She still real childlike with the play
Highlighting the person's childish nature and playful behavior
I'm trynna be less involved
Expressing a desire to be less involved in a situation
But thats my dog and she don't stray
Emphasizing loyalty to a close friend who doesn't stray
No
Repetition of refusal or denial
No
-Won't come forward with the truth you take the back door
Suggesting avoiding confrontation and taking an indirect approach
The way I lift these weights off you it got my back sore
Describing the physical toll of shouldering someone else's burdens
Project baby only views was that back porch
Recalling a background in a challenging environment (project) and limited views
Then went to college look at you, you got yo' passport
Observing personal growth and achievement (getting a passport)
I know that you gon' get around once I let go
Acknowledging the inevitability of someone moving on once released
We both was doing each other foul since the get go
Admitting mutual wrongdoing in the past
All the shit I did I ain't do to upset you
Clarifying that previous actions were not intended to cause harm
You want your lick back, cool, but girl just be respectful
Encouraging the other person to seek revenge but with respect
Lay down on me let's refocus
Suggesting a moment of reconnection and focus on the relationship
Dampen these sheets through emotions
Expressing a desire to intensify emotions and connection
Ideas are free let's provoke 'em
Encouraging the generation of new ideas together
Something that's seamlessly hopeless
Describing a situation that seems without hope or resolution
Hide past pain inside it shows up in your notions
Highlighting the impact of past pain on current thoughts and feelings
You were throwing signs and my dumbass ain't notice
Admitting failure to recognize signs and signals from the other person
To get the truth from you like pulling teeth with forceps
Comparing the difficulty of extracting the truth to a painful dental procedure
The lies not in your eyes they're worn all on your face now
Asserting that lies are now evident in the person's facial expressions
No contact with your family grown and you choosing your fate now
Noting a lack of connection with family and the person's chosen path
Poster baby up in Onyx, oh, you doing great now yes you are
Recognizing success and positive changes in the person's life
Yes you are
Encouraging self-confidence and resilience
(Don't let anybody tell you different)
-Yeah
Repetition of earlier themes emphasizing past mistakes and the need for respect
Won't come forward with the truth you take the back door
-The way I lift these weights off you it got my back sore
-Project baby only views was that back porch
-Then went to college look at you, you got your passport
-I know that you gon' get around once I let go
-We both was doing each other foul since the get go
-All the shit I did I ain't do to upset you
-You want your lick back, cool, but girl just be respectful
-Yeah
-'Cause I don't do that disrespect no, no
-No I don't do no disrespect yeah, yeah
-No I don't do that disrespect no, no
-No I don't do that
-I mean I can't even really be mad 'cause
Acknowledging similarities between the speaker and the other person, expressing frustration with lies
You like my twin and
-We do the same thing
-But when you lie about it
-That's when it becomes an issue
Highlighting the point where lies become a significant issue
