If I be
Unveiling the Depths: Mr. Blvkheart's Candid Reflections in 'If I Be'
Lyrics
If I be what you want from me
If I meet your expectations
Would never have a shine to make a name for
I wouldn't strive for success or recognition
If I be what you want from me
If I fulfill what you desire
I would be a cheating lying asshole
I'd become dishonest and unfaithful
If I be what you want from me
If I satisfy your expectations
A victim of a gaslighting cycle
I'd become a victim of manipulative behavior
If I be what you want from me
If I live up to what you want
Trapped in your misery
I'd be stuck in your unhappiness
I'm selfish when you can't win
I act selfish when I can't succeed
I'm the root of everything that hell bends
I'm blamed for everything negative
How when I showed you your good friends
Despite revealing the truth about your friends
And told you I caught your lover in bed
I exposed your lover's infidelity
Let's pretend I ain't ever seen you stretched thin
Pretend I haven't witnessed your vulnerability
Those Wheat Thins in your cupboard ain't breakfast
Your breakfast isn't substantial (metaphorically)
And loose ends only meant for your hair splits
Loose ends only meant for hair, not relationships
Would you spare me an ounce of your time then
Would you spare me some time then?
Think a second then get it back
Reflect for a moment and understand
Never gave me time to rest so don't you think it's tit for tat
Reciprocity—don't expect what you don't give
Can't give the same amount of pain what's the fun in that
Equal measure of pain for fairness
Karma in front seat cuz I know you hope I double back
Karma is present, anticipating my return
Time to feel what real pain is
Time for you to experience true pain
Double back
Repetition emphasizing the need to return (double back)
Double back
-Karma auto aim it
-Double back
-Double back
-If I be what you want from me
Reiteration of the consequences of meeting expectations
Would never have a shine to make a name for
-If I be what you want from me
-I would be a cheating lying asshole
-If I be what you want from me
-A victim of a gaslighting cycle
-If I be what you want from me
-Trapped in your misery
-N***as come to me as if I were a therapist
People approach me like a therapist
Tuning in listen hear them all sharing s**t
Listening to others share their problems
Give them gold that they never take to tellers it
Offering valuable advice that goes unheeded
Starts to feel I should charge for comprehension
Contemplating charging for understanding
Shut the f**k up hear me out I don't speak for clout
Asserting sincerity, not seeking attention
Giving million dollar's worth of game off the gift of sound
Providing valuable insights through music
Really I'm just tryna bring a change but that's not allowed
Frustrated by societal resistance to positive change
Bulls**t makes you deaf around the ears that's why it surrounds
Negative influences can make you oblivious
Pin it down
Secure it firmly
Let it bang hear the bombs drop
Prepare for conflict, hear the impact
Let's go to war unashamed on our heartthrobs
Ready for a confrontation, unapologetic
And we don't need another story of how y'all loved us
Rejecting the need for love stories, emphasizing past generosity
You just miss what we gave you in surplus
-Don't need another story of how y'all loved us
Reinforcement of not revisiting past mistakes
Don't double back
-Running back
-You just miss what we gave you in surplus
-That was that
Declining involvement, distancing oneself
I'm falling back
-If I be what you want from me
Repetition of the consequences of meeting expectations
Would never have a shine to make a name for
-If I be what you want from me
-I would be a cheating lying asshole
-If I be what you want from me
-A victim of a gaslighting cycle
-If I be what you want from me
-Trapped in your misery
-If I be what you want
Repetition of the question, emphasizing the desire to meet expectations
If I be what you want
-If I be what you want
-If I be what you want
-If I be what you want
-If I be what you want from me
-Be what you want from me
-Be what you want from me
-Be what you want from me
-Be what you want from me
