Lyrics
My shadow goes wherever I go
Expressing the omnipresence of personal struggles and challenges.
I'm getting faded, I don't even like Rose
Indicating a sense of detachment or dissatisfaction with luxury experiences like drinking expensive wine.
My circle watchin' so I walk a tight rope
Feeling under constant scrutiny from one's social circle, leading to a cautious and careful approach.
I really hate them but they laugh at my jokes
Disliking certain individuals but finding a paradox in their ability to appreciate the humor.
I didn't know, but now I know
Reflecting on a past lack of awareness contrasted with newfound understanding.
That if you give a little, they gon' take more
Warning that giving a little may result in others taking advantage.
And if you love a little and you hate more
Highlighting the balance between love and hate, with a caution about the potential for heartbreak.
You can break their heart before they break yours
Encouraging self-protection and preemptive actions to avoid emotional harm.
Stuck in a manic state
Describing a state of intense emotion or mood swing.
Scared I'ma die stuntin'
Expressing a fear of dying in a way that reflects one's lifestyle.
The way this liquor tastes
Using the taste of liquor as a distraction from existential thoughts or fears.
Distracts my mind from it
Highlighting the role of alcohol in diverting attention from unpleasant thoughts.
Will I see pearly gates or will I take the plummet?
Contemplating the afterlife and the uncertainty of one's fate.
I keep that money coming
Emphasizing the importance of financial stability and the pursuit of wealth.
I hope that counts for something
Expressing a desire for material success to have meaningful value.
And trust me I know
Acknowledging a sense of divine or higher power watching over.
There's someone up there watching out for me wherever I go
Reassuring the presence of supportive people awaiting one's return.
My people waiting up and praying for me to make it home
Highlighting the uncertainty and dangers of life, especially for those close.
'Cause niggas dying every day and shawty you never know
Reflecting on the unpredictability of life and the importance of cherishing moments.
It's always weighing on my mental
Expressing the mental burden of constant awareness of life's challenges.
I gotta watch my back, my family running out of tissues
Stressing the need for vigilance due to potential threats or challenges.
Ain't broken but I'm bent to tell the truth I'm made of issues
Admitting personal struggles and challenges that contribute to a complex identity.
So I can't let you in, cause if I do then they gon' get you
Declining emotional vulnerability to protect others from potential harm.
Yeah
Reiterating a guarded stance and self-preservation.
My demons chasing me, I keep running
Describing the persistent nature of internal struggles or personal demons.
They overtaking me, I couldn't stomach
Acknowledging the overwhelming impact of personal challenges.
If it was up to me, I would've done it
Contemplating a desire to end the struggles but recognizing external responsibilities.
But it's not, I got people counting on me
Feeling a sense of obligation and responsibility towards those who depend on the individual.
Feel like Clyde up in these streets but I ain't never had a Bonnie
Comparing oneself to a notorious figure, emphasizing the absence of a significant other.
That's why I don't know what it means when you tell me that you love me
Expressing uncertainty and confusion in response to declarations of love.
