Your Heart Is Evil
Unveiling the Battle Within: Kai September's Reflection on Struggle and Redemption
Lyrics
Feelings I just can't express except inside my songs
Expressing emotions through songs that are difficult to convey otherwise.
I knew way before you left you wasn't riding long
Awareness that the person leaving wasn't committed for the long term.
Instead of dealing with the stress of being right and wrong
Choosing to avoid the stress of determining right from wrong.
I just put my very best into this microphone
Dedicating one's best efforts to music as an outlet.
Nobody said that it would be easy
Acknowledging that life is not promised to be easy.
Nobody said that it'd be hard either
Contrasting the expectation that life is neither entirely easy nor hard.
They say I'm leading and the people need me
Recognition of a leadership role and the responsibility that comes with it.
You can't find peace because your heart is evil
Attributing a lack of peace to the presence of an evil heart.
The knocking can't let him in, using my weaknesses to tempt me
Resisting temptations and protecting oneself from negative influences.
Tried to tell me I could never win, yeah
Refusing to accept defeat and overcoming challenges.
You was speaking that against me
Noting opposition and criticism from others.
Yeah yeah
Reiteration or emphasis on the previous line.
But can't take a loss
Emphasizing resilience and an inability to accept failure.
Only L I took was lessons that I learned from
Learning valuable lessons from experiences rather than losses.
Niggas paying for respect, I had to earn mine
Earning respect through hard work and dedication.
Say these niggas paying for a vette I had to earn one
Investing effort to achieve personal goals, possibly material success.
I can't help but wonder how they looking at me now from the outside
Reflecting on how others perceive the individual from an external perspective.
Even if I'm somewhere in the crowd I'mma outshine
Expressing confidence in standing out even in a crowd.
Say Im nowhere close to perfect, gotta do some healing
Acknowledging imperfection and the need for self-improvement.
Baby I been hurting I'm not used to feeling
Admitting to emotional pain and the unfamiliarity of such feelings.
And baby I've been searching trying to find me
Searching for one's identity or purpose.
Baby I been searching not knowing Im in it
Continuing the search for self-awareness, possibly with uncertainty.
You feel like I'm worth it now, it's perfect timing
Feeling valued and worthy, possibly indicating positive changes.
They don't think I'm hurting they don't see me crying
Keeping personal struggles hidden, facing them privately.
Like I'm someone different they don't know her
Suggesting a transformation that others may not perceive.
Feel like I deserve it fell in love with diamonds
Developing a taste for luxury and aspiring for better things.
Feelings I just can't express except inside my songs
Repetition of the idea of expressing emotions through music.
I knew way before you left you wasn't riding long
Reiteration of awareness regarding a short-lived commitment.
Instead of dealing with the stress of being right and wrong
Avoiding the complexities of determining right and wrong.
I just put my very best into this microphone
Continuing to pour one's emotions into music.
Nobody said that it would be easy
Reaffirmation that life is not guaranteed to be easy.
Nobody said that it'd be hard either
Reiterating the idea that life is a mix of challenges and ease.
They say I'm leading and the people need me
Recognition of leadership and the impact on others.
You can't find peace because your heart is evil
Linking the absence of peace to a perceived evil within the heart.
