Needed You
Regret and Redemption: Rara Numba's Emotional Journey in 'Needed You'
Lyrics
I ain't realize what I had until it was gone
I didn't realize the value of what I had until it was no longer present
I can't cope with this pain so I keep sippin' liquor
I'm unable to deal with this emotional pain, so I continuously drink alcohol
I never been bitter
I have never harbored resentment or hostility
I ain't realize what I had until it was gone
Reiteration of not recognizing the significance of something until it's gone
I gotta wake up everyday knowing that I was wrong
I have to face each day acknowledging my mistakes
Yeah I needed you the most but you left me for dead
I needed you the most, but you abandoned me when I needed support the most
Always keep that glizzy close tryna fill em with lead
I always keep a firearm nearby, hoping to harm those who have wronged me
Can't cope with this pain so I keep sippin' liquor
The pain is unbearable, so I resort to consuming alcohol as a coping mechanism
I had to get used to living without you in the picture
I had to adapt to living without you being a part of my life
I ain't even mad though I could never be better
Despite the situation, I'm not angry and cannot be in a better state of mind
Before I ever met you I fell in love with a trigger
Before meeting you, I developed a strong attachment to a dangerous tool (gun)
Yeah I needed you the most you left when it was bad
I needed your presence most during difficult times, but you left during those moments
Had me trippin' for a minute Rara back in his bag
Your absence caused me distress for a short period, and now I'm back in my element
Yeah I been feeling real bummy had to turn up my swag
I've been feeling down, but I had to boost my confidence and style
I turned around you grabbed a knife and my back you had stabbed
You betrayed me when I wasn't looking, inflicting significant emotional harm
It's hard to cope with this pain so I keep pourin' liquor
Dealing with the pain is tough, so I continuously pour and drink alcohol
Sippin' 1942 I know it fuck up my liver
Drinking specific alcoholic beverages despite knowing the harm it causes
There was a lot of cold nights I would sit there and shiver
I've experienced many cold and uncomfortable nights
Yeah but I had to snap back cause I know I'm that nigga
Despite hardships, I had to regain my confidence because I know my worth
To be a man you must admit where you wrong
To be a responsible adult, one must acknowledge their mistakes
And sometimes I be going through it ain't seen you in so long
At times, I struggle greatly because I haven't seen you in a long time
I been really going crazy all my niggas is gone
I'm deeply distressed because all my close friends are absent
Like how the fuck I'm living freely when they lock behind bars
How can I live freely when my friends are imprisoned?
Before I did what I did everything was so great
Everything was perfect before I made a significant error
And I can't even play the victim cause I made a mistake
I cannot play the victim as I'm accountable for my mistake
I got no one on my side city filled up with hate
I feel isolated and like no one supports me in this hostile city
I wonder if the tables turn would they still do the same
I wonder if people would treat me differently if the situation were reversed
Yeah would they still do the same
A question reflecting doubt about the loyalty of others
Feel like I'm locked in a cage
I feel trapped and confined, unable to escape
Tryna play me like a lame
Others are trying to disrespect me or take advantage of me
I needed you the most why you so far away
You were the one I needed the most, why are you so distant?
Why you so far away
Repeated question emphasizing the distance and absence
I mean what else can I say
Expressing resignation or helplessness in the situation
Still long live my nigga gums and for you I'll be great
I will continue to honor my deceased friend and strive to be successful for them
Just make sure you save a spot when I get to the gate
Asking the departed friend to reserve a place for me in the afterlife
I ain't realize what I had until it was gone
Reiteration of not recognizing the importance of something until it's gone
I gotta wake up everyday knowing that I was wrong
Similar to line 5, acknowledging the regret of past actions
Yeah I needed you the most but you left me for dead
Repeating the feeling of needing support the most but being abandoned
Always keep that glizzy close tryna fill em with lead
Continuing to keep a firearm close to seek revenge
Can't cope with this pain so I keep sipping liquor
Escaping emotional pain through continuous alcohol consumption
I had to get used to living without you in the picture
Adjusting to living without your presence in my life
I ain't even mad though I could never be better
Despite the circumstances, I hold no grudges and cannot be in a better state of mind
Before I ever met you I fell in love with a trigger
Before meeting you, I developed a strong attachment to a dangerous tool
