Hard Times
Heartfelt Betrayal: Pretty Shy's Tale of Love, Sacrifice, and Deception
Lyrics
When u lied on me
Feeling deceived or betrayed by someone who lied about the speaker.
act like i ain't heard it i just let it slip
Choosing not to react to the lies, allowing them to go unnoticed.
Took you on some trips knowing that you'll dip but I ain't trip
Taking someone on trips despite anticipating their departure, without getting upset.
Guess i was super lonely i want someone on my hip
Expressing a desire for companionship, feeling lonely and wanting someone close.
Thinking if i hold you down -
Hoping that supporting the person emotionally will result in a reciprocal, strong connection.
You'll treat me like your Lauren be my Nip
Wishing for a relationship like Lauren London and Nipsey Hussle, characterized by loyalty and support.
But niggas just can't do real shit
Reflecting on the disappointment that people often fail to engage in genuine, meaningful actions.
He only seen me as a bitch that he can fool real quick
Being perceived by someone as easily deceived or manipulated.
Just get cool with quick
Quickly establishing a connection with someone.
Then use right quick
Exploiting the connection for personal gain shortly after forming it.
He never seen me as a bitch that he would do right with
Expressing disappointment in not being seen as someone deserving a genuine, committed relationship.
Why you use me as ya come up
Questioning why the speaker was used as a means to achieve success or advancement.
Then ya tried to be my down fall
Experiencing betrayal from someone who was supposed to be supportive.
See I got the heart of gold - knowing thats gone be my down fall
Acknowledging a compassionate nature as a potential vulnerability.
I Can't be mad at nobody cuz i know it's my damn fault
Taking responsibility for the consequences of being too trusting and caring.
How you Help em then they hurt you tell me how that sound y'all
Questioning the logic of helping others when they end up causing harm.
When u lied on me
Repeating the theme of feeling deceived or betrayed by someone who lied about the speaker.
act like i ain't heard it i just let it slip
Reiterating the decision to ignore the lies and not react.
Took you on some trips knowing that you'll dip but I ain't trip
Recalling the anticipation of someone leaving on trips but choosing not to be upset about it.
Guess i was super lonely i want someone on my hip
Expressing a desire for companionship, feeling lonely and wanting someone close (repeated theme).
Thinking if i hold you down - you'll treat me like your Lauren be my Nip
Hoping that providing support will result in a reciprocal, strong connection (repeated theme).
I'm the type to give the shoes off my feet
Describing a generous nature, willing to give even essential items to others.
Said I'll Give away my cover say I'm coo with a sheet
Being willing to sacrifice personal comfort or safety for others.
Give away my meat- i say I'll do with the wheat
Expressing a readiness to give up personal desires or needs for the benefit of others.
That's how much i sacrifice To make sure everyone eat
Highlighting the extent of sacrifice made to ensure everyone's well-being.
I'm the type to make sure everyone fed
Commitment to ensuring everyone has enough to eat.
Even if i have a loaf i give everyone bread
Sharing resources generously, even if it means giving away the last available item.
I don't judge you from your past no idc what you did
Choosing not to judge others based on their past actions.
But mother fuckers act like they don't care if I'm dead
Feeling neglected or unappreciated despite being selfless.
That's my problem I'm too Weak I'm too nice
Acknowledging vulnerability and being too kind or accommodating.
I can't do a person wrong not a week in my life
Expressing a commitment to never mistreat others throughout life.
I be there for everybody who be needing advice
Offering support and advice to those in need.
But let down -that ain't something that i need to be twice
Experiencing disappointment and betrayal after consistently being there for others.
