Lyrics

How come they all be so shady?

Questioning the dishonesty or unreliability of others.

Their weight is pulling me down

Feeling burdened by the negativity or actions of others.

I thought you was real, you fugazi

Expressing disappointment in someone believed to be genuine.

I finally figured you out

Realizing the true nature of someone's character.

Showed you the game and you played me

Feeling betrayed after revealing vulnerabilities.

Stuck with the pain that you gave me

Experiencing emotional pain caused by someone's actions.

Can't even mention your name, I can't take it

Unable to cope with the emotional weight of mentioning a person's name.

These memories leaving me shaking

Memories causing physical and emotional distress.

You been, sleeping 'round with all the ones I loved

Discovering infidelity with people close to the speaker.

Showed me that there's no one I can trust

Loss of trust in people due to betrayal.

Never be the same as who I was

Transformation of the speaker's identity after betrayal.

Turned me into someone dangerous

Becoming a potentially harmful or unpredictable person.

Bloody roses, all you chase is lust

Symbolic reference to pursuing pleasure at the cost of deeper connections.

Quiet, silence, till the pain is up

Seeking solace in silence to deal with emotional pain.

Know the way I'm thinking, I be trippin'

Acknowledging erratic thoughts or behavior.

Look up to the sky, ask for forgiveness

Seeking forgiveness and guidance from a higher power.

Clear my head of noises, I keep hearing bad voices

Struggling with inner turmoil and negative influences.

Hearing bad voices

Repetition emphasizing the persistence of negative thoughts.

I'm hearing bad

Continuation of the struggle with negativity.

Clearing out these noises I keep making bad choices

Taking responsibility for consistently making poor decisions.

Making bad choices

Reiterating the pattern of making regrettable choices.

I'm making bad

Acknowledging the ongoing cycle of making bad decisions.

All of these choices I made 'em

Taking ownership of past decisions, whether good or bad.

But that doesn't mean that they make me

Clarifying that past choices don't define the speaker.

I thought I had people worth saving

Believing in the worthiness of people initially, but facing disappointment.

But I didn't think they would break me

Unexpectedly being broken by those believed to be trustworthy.

I didn't think they'd forsake me

Feeling abandoned or betrayed by those close.

I gave 'em no reason to hate me

Insisting on innocence and lack of justification for hatred.

Hurt in my heart from the way that it cuts

Experiencing emotional pain that remains unresolved.

Once it was open but now it stay shut

Guarding oneself emotionally after experiencing hurt.

Materialism to cope with the problems

Using material possessions as a coping mechanism.

Got tears in my eyes, but they covered with Prada

Concealing emotional pain behind a façade of luxury.

I keep all my sorrows in diamonds

Valuing materialism as a way to deal with suffering.

I feel the pain when I'm rhyming

Expressing emotional pain through the act of creating art (rhyming).

I feel the same on narcotics

Feeling the same emotional pain even when under the influence.

I think that the thang that I'm finding

Searching for meaning or understanding in life.

Is famous is something that's binding

Reflecting on the challenges and constraints of fame.

Something that's too bright it's blinding

Fame being overwhelming and blinding.

I got me a raw and I'm rolling up ganja just so I can

Using marijuana to cope and find clarity.

Clear my head of noises, I keep hearing bad voices

Repeating the struggle with negative thoughts and influences.

Hearing bad voices

Continuing to hear and grapple with negative inner voices.

I'm hearing bad

Emphasizing the persistence of negative influences.

Clearing out these noises I keep making bad choices

Reiterating the pattern of making regrettable choices.

Making bad choices

Acknowledging the ongoing cycle of making bad decisions.

I'm making bad

Emphasizing personal responsibility for the negative choices.
