Lyrics
It's so hard to look the other way
Expresses difficulty in avoiding a certain direction or situation.
It's so hard to not pick up the phone
Highlights the challenge of resisting the urge to answer a phone call.
Bang your line one time and ask 'bout your day
Reflects the desire to connect with someone by checking on their day.
It's so hard to look the other way
Reiterates the difficulty of turning away or ignoring something.
Tell me something that will push me away
Asks for information or actions that might create distance in the relationship.
Tell me something that will push me away
-I took something for the pain, it never took it away, nah
Shares the ineffective relief gained from taking something for pain.
It's only two and I took two today
Indicates the consumption of a substance, possibly for coping or escapism.
Already took two today
-But the truth is I never wanted you to stay
Expresses a lack of desire for the person to stay despite actions suggesting otherwise.
But you do what you want, yeah and I wanted it that way
Acknowledges the person's freedom to act as they wish and the acceptance of it.
Pushing through the city in my four by four
Describes cruising through the city, possibly as a metaphor for navigating through life.
By two, yeah, barely fitted through the drive-thru
-Wanna slide by you
-So hard not to tell you he a sucker
Hard to restrain from expressing negative opinions about someone.
So hard to see you suffer, let you see for yourself
Difficulty witnessing someone's suffering but acknowledges the importance of self-discovery.
Yeah, it's hard for me to trust ya
Expresses difficulty in trusting the person being addressed.
But I know this bust down Patek won't switch sides, yeah
Asserts the loyalty of material possessions and true fans despite challenges.
I know this Lambo won't switch sides, yeah
-I know my true fans won't switch sides
-If I give my new bitch just a lil time, she'll be big time
Suggests that investing time will lead to significant achievements.
And it'll be hard to look the other way
Repeats the struggle of looking away and not answering the phone.
But it's still so hard to not pick up the phone
-Bang your line one time and ask 'bout your day
-It's so hard to look the other way
Despite taking something for pain, the difficulty in turning away persists.
Tell me something that will push me away
-Tell me something that will push me away

But it's still so hard to look the other way
-So hard to not pick up the phone

-So hard to look the other way
-Tell me something that will push me away

-Now my new thing ain't you but it feels good 'cause it's new
Introduces a new relationship that provides a sense of novelty and freedom.

You brought out the beast, I can't put it away

Truth is, yeah, I wanted you to stay
-But the door tryna close and my foot's in the way
-Push me away, tell 'em I was unconditional
