Lyrics
Baby back up
Expressing a need for some distance or space
It's been a while since you called me now
Noticed a lack of communication from the other person
Tell me what's up
Requesting an explanation or update
You wanna love now you fronting now
Suspecting insincerity or hesitation in expressing love
You know I've been going crazy
Experiencing emotional turmoil
Don't call me up
Discouraging the other person from reaching out
Baby, I'm busy
Claiming to be occupied or busy
Don't know if you really love me
Uncertain about the sincerity of the other person's love
Don't matter though
Indifferent to the uncertainty because of a self-focused mindset
Cause Imma just do me
Determined to prioritize personal well-being
And it's okay to be scared
Encouraging acceptance of fear as a natural emotion
Cause we're only getting stronger
Believing that challenges strengthen the relationship
Don't matter if we're going far away
Distance doesn't matter in the face of challenges
Away
Reinforcing the idea of going away
You better get back
Advising the other person to retreat or withdraw
Get back aye
Reiterating the need to step back
I know you like that feeling
Acknowledging the appeal of a certain emotion or experience
Get back aye
Encouraging the other person to move forward
Go on and keep it moving
Advocating for continuous progress
Get back aye
Repeating the call to step back
I know you like that feeling
Reiterating the appeal of a particular feeling
Get back aye
Encouraging forward movement
Go on and keep it moving
Emphasizing the need to keep progressing
Let go
Suggesting to release or detach
Baby back up
Repeating the initial plea for space
It's been a while since you called me now
Observing continued lack of communication
Tell me what's up
Repeating the request for an update
You wanna love now you fronting now
Noticing inconsistency in expressing love
You know I've been going crazy
Reiterating emotional turmoil
Don't call me up
Insisting on being left alone due to busyness
Baby I'm busy
Repeating the claim of being busy
Don't know if you really love me
Expressing doubt about the authenticity of love
Don't matter though
Restating indifference to the uncertainty
Cause Imma just do me
Reaffirming commitment to self-prioritization
And it's okay to be scared
Encouraging acceptance of fear in the face of growth
Cause we're only getting stronger
Emphasizing the strengthening effect of challenges
Don't matter if we're going far away
Reiterating that distance doesn't matter
Away
Repeating the idea of going far away
You better get back
Insisting on the need to step back

Go on and keep it moving
Repeating the call to step back
Get back aye
Emphasizing the appeal of a particular feeling
I know you like that feeling
Encouraging ongoing progress
Get back aye
Repeating the call to step back
Go on and keep it moving
Emphasizing the importance of continuous movement
