Sleeping in the Benz
Sleeping in the Benz: A Night of Redemption and Reflection
Lyrics
Say it's not convincing
Suggesting that the speaker's statements or actions may not be convincing.
Say I'm such a fraud
Accusation of the speaker being a fraud or deceptive.
Come back for the nightcap I'm sleeping on the floor
Returning for a nightcap, but the speaker is sleeping on the floor, possibly indicating a troubled state.
Tell my friends I messed up
Informing friends of a mistake or failure on the speaker's part.
I won't do this again
Committing not to repeat a certain behavior.
Nah fuck that I missed them I'm sleeping in the benz
Rejecting the commitment, expressing a desire to be with friends by sleeping in the benz (car).
Pulling the liquor right back from the cabinet
Retrieving liquor, possibly as a coping mechanism.
I don't need nothing I just wanna have it
Expressing a desire for experiences rather than material possessions.
Too many days not at home had me draining
Days away from home taking a toll on the speaker.
And I'm overdue for this thank you for patience
Acknowledging overdue actions and thanking someone for patience.
Yeah it's 2a, true things start spilling from me
Time (2a.m.) when true feelings surface.
Prove things, so moods change
Mood changes based on proving things.
Ain't ready for it
Unprepared for upcoming challenges or changes.
You pray I'll level with you
A hope for understanding through prayer.
You mistake me for a better man
Others misjudging the speaker as a better person than they are.
Say it's not convincing
Repetition, emphasizing the lack of conviction in the speaker's actions.
Say I'm such a fraud
Reiteration of the accusation of being a fraud.
Come back for the nightcap I'm sleeping on the floor
Repeating the scenario of returning for a nightcap but finding the speaker on the floor.
Tell my friends I messed up
Repeating the confession of making a mistake to friends.
I won't do this again
Reaffirming the commitment not to repeat the same actions.
Nah fuck that I missed them I'm sleeping in the benz
Rejection of the commitment, choosing to be with friends in the car.
Been sitting tight, been moving slow
Reflecting on a period of waiting and slow progress.
Cus I think I might got doors to close
Suspecting the need to close certain doors in life.
She said I'm gone, I said I'm here
Denying departure despite claims, suggesting inner conflict.
But the bottle screams and I disappear
The influence of alcohol making the speaker 'disappear' from reality.
I've been a fuck and I've been a friend
Admitting to being both a negative force and a friend.
Been sabotaged, don't recommend
Experiencing sabotage and advising against it.
Wanted flesh but I hit the bone
Desire for physical connection, but encountering resistance.
You wanted blood but just blood alone
Desire for more commitment than just physical intimacy.
She's down in the kitchen and there's mirrors on the floor
Imagery of a chaotic scene in the kitchen and a feeling of losing control.
And I'm just out right feeling I ain't got this anymore
Feeling lost and uncertain about the current situation.
So who is gonna take all of this guilt and all this shame
Pondering who will bear the burden of guilt and shame.
I've got this fucking feeling that this shits gonna come my way
Anticipating negative consequences and feeling a sense of impending doom.
Say it's not convincing
Reiterating the lack of conviction in the speaker's actions.
Say I'm such a fraud
Reiterating the accusation of being a fraud.
Come back for the nightcap I'm sleeping on the floor
Repeating the scenario of returning for a nightcap but finding the speaker on the floor.
Tell my friends I messed up
Repeating the confession of making a mistake to friends.
I won't do this again
Reaffirming the commitment not to repeat the same actions.
Nah fuck that I missed them I'm sleeping in the benz
Rejection of the commitment, choosing to be with friends in the car.
You ain't gotta say no, I'm a villain to the city but tonight I got the antidote
Asserting the speaker's awareness of being viewed negatively by the city but claiming to have a remedy for the night.
