Lyrics
I take the 2 uptown and fuck around a bit
I take the 2 uptown and engage in some casual activities
It kind of brings me down, guess I'm a hypocrite
It brings me down emotionally, acknowledging my own hypocrisy
for saying I
Expressing doubt or hesitation ("for saying I")
Am all I need
Claiming self-sufficiency, asserting independence
'Cause all that I can think is that you're not here
Feeling lonely or incomplete without the presence of someone
Do you remember the time we slow-danced on the pier?
Recalling a past moment of intimacy, possibly nostalgically
I bet you don't
Suspecting that the other person may not remember
Or you just won't
Or deliberately choosing not to acknowledge the memory
And that's fine, we don't have to live in the past
Accepting that living in the past is not necessary
But come on baby, do you really have to act
Encouraging the other person to reconsider their behavior
Like I
Expressing a sense of being ignored or overlooked
Don't exist?
Feeling like one's existence is being disregarded
And I don't think I can think of you
Struggling to think positively about the other person
Anymore unless you want me to
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining positive thoughts
I hope
Expressing a wish or desire
You get it
Hoping for understanding or empathy
I know, it's bullshit
Acknowledging the situation as dishonest or insincere
I look down at my wrist and check my Cassio
Checking the time on a Casio watch
And it's about damn time
Realizing it's time to grow personally
That I begin to grow
Embracing personal growth and development
All on
Emphasizing self-reliance
All on my own
Independently navigating through life
And that means that there's not a ball or court
Asserting a lack of interest in traditional activities
You know that I'm not one for sports
Not being inclined towards sports
It's never been a game
Rejecting the idea of life as a game
So please just look deeper within
Encouraging a deeper understanding of oneself
Instead of treating this like a fight to win
Rejecting a confrontational approach to relationships
I'm tired of being played
Expressing frustration with being manipulated
So cut the bullshit, babe
Urging an end to deception or insincerity
(Ahhh)
An expression of emotion (Ahhh)
But it's fine, I'm not gonna live in the past
Accepting the need to move forward
So go on baby, if you want to you can act
Giving the other person the freedom to act as they wish
Like I
Reiterating a sense of being ignored or overlooked
Don't exist
Feeling that one's existence is being dismissed
And I know that I can't think of you
Acknowledging difficulty in thinking positively about the other person
Anymore, even if you want me to
Expressing the impossibility of maintaining positive thoughts
I hope
Reiterating a hope for understanding or empathy
You get it
Expressing a desire for the other person to comprehend the situation
But it's still bullshit
Reiterating a sense of dishonesty or insincerity
