My Bad
Reckoning Souls: Luca Maxim's Reflection on Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
Leave me alone
Expressing a desire to be left alone
Leave me alone
Repetition for emphasis on the need for solitude
It ain't a thing that I could do for you, no
Stating inability to do anything for someone
It took a while for me to take back control
Reflecting on the time it took to regain control
Oh no
Expressing concern or surprise
If I did what I did back then
Acknowledging past actions
I would probably be dead right now
Speculating on a possible negative outcome if past actions were repeated
I'm not talking about actual death
Clarifying reference to not actual death but a metaphorical death of the soul
Talking death of the soul right now
Emphasizing the current state of emotional distress
All I see is these people fighting
Observing conflicts among people
over who wrong and who right now
Commenting on the ongoing disputes about right and wrong
Bitch we all wrong, now how about that?
Asserting a collective responsibility for wrongdoing
Oh you too cool to say my bad?
Questioning someone's reluctance to apologize
I just fucked up the beat my bad
Admitting a mistake in ruining the beat
They gon' see they gon' feel my wrath
Anticipating the consequences of the mistake
I just seek out the girl I wanted
Describing a pursuit of a desired person
Then she freaked out the day I left
Recalling a negative reaction from the person when leaving
Looking to my right and my left
Surveying the surroundings
I done took it all, ain't much left
Indicating a sense of depletion
Thinking about all the love I left
Reflecting on the love left behind
It ain't sitting right with me
Expressing discomfort with the situation
Leave me alone
Repetition of the desire to be left alone
Leave me alone
Reiteration for emphasis on the need for solitude
It ain't a thing that I could do for you, no
Reiterating inability to do anything for someone
It took a while for me to take back control
Reiterating the time it took to regain control
Oh no
Reiterating concern or surprise
They won't let me
Expressing frustration at being restricted
They won't let me
Repetition of frustration at being restricted
They won't let me do the things that I want
Complaining about limitations imposed by others
Luckily it ain't up to none of y'all
Asserting independence from others' opinions
Claim they rolling we'll see if they really are
Casting doubt on others' claims of loyalty
See it all over my phone now
Noting external influence on personal communication
One day I know the truth will come out
Anticipating revelation of the truth
I don't give a fuck what they talking about
Expressing indifference to gossip or rumors
You ain't all that you talk about
Discrediting someone's self-proclaimed qualities
This ain't that and that ain't this
Differentiating between two situations
If we're really being honest
Challenging the depth of someone's understanding
you don't know me like you did
Questioning familiarity with the speaker's true self
You should look over your shoulder
Advising vigilance for past actions
For all of the things you did
Reflecting on potential consequences for the listener
You and I know good and well
Acknowledging shared knowledge of potential dangers
what they might carry on they hip
Reiterating advice for vigilance
This ain't that and that ain't this
Reiterating differentiation between two situations
If we're really being honest
Repeating the challenge to understanding
you don't know me like you did
Repeating the question of familiarity
You should look over your shoulder
Repeating the advice for vigilance
For all of the things you did
Repeating reflection on potential consequences
You and I know good and well
Repeating acknowledgment of shared knowledge
what they might carry on they hip
Repeating awareness of potential dangers
