Lyrics
I tried to put in time I tried to give my soul
Expressing effort to invest time and soul in a relationship.
Would you break my heart or would you give it back whole
Uncertainty about the impact of the relationship on the speaker's heart.
I know some shit don’t last but it don’t have to be us
Acknowledging impermanence but asserting a desire for a lasting connection.
When you with me girl you go crazy you go nuts
Describing the intense and unpredictable nature of the girl's emotions.
Had to lock this pain away
Choosing to conceal emotional pain.
Had to lock this pain away
Repetition emphasizes the deliberate act of hiding emotional distress.
I need to accept all the mistakes I made
Accepting and facing personal mistakes in the relationship.
Remember them I nights I prayed
Recalling nights of prayer, reflecting on the gravity of the situation.
That you gone stay
Expressing a desire for the partner to stay despite past errors.
And our love don’t fade
Affirmation that the love between them should endure.
Please don’t take my soul
Pleading not to lose one's core identity or essence.
I tried to live the right way but I ain’t sure that I did
Doubting whether the speaker has lived a morally upright life.
My heart too damn cold
Describing a cold-hearted nature, suggesting emotional detachment.
I’ve been an angel and a demon in disguise since a kid
Admitting to both positive and negative qualities since childhood.
(So)
Transition in the narrative or emotional tone.
Please don’t take my soul
Reiteration of the plea not to lose one's essential self.
I tried to live the right way but I ain’t sure that I did
Revisiting the uncertainty of living a righteous life.
My heart too damn cold
Re-emphasizing the emotionally distant state of the speaker.
I’ve been an angel and a demon in disguise since a kid
Reiterating the dual nature of the speaker's character from childhood.
I don’t ever wanna see my mama cry
Expressing a strong aversion to seeing the mother in distress.
I don’t like it when you got tears in your eyes
Disliking the partner's emotional pain, aiming for a harmonious relationship.
Ima get you what you want when them commas rise
Commitment to providing material comfort when financial success comes.
Why live in the past when everybody dies
Questioning the significance of dwelling on the past when everyone eventually dies.
They said that I switched up
Addressing accusations of change, possibly due to personal growth.
They said I’m a new me
Responding to perceptions of a transformed identity.
How the fuck you speak up on my name if you ain’t knew me
Challenging those who speak about the speaker without truly knowing them.
They said I was crazy
Recalling past judgments of insanity.
They said I was cruel
Recalling past judgments of cruelty.
Now I’m making songs and I just dropped out of school
Highlighting a shift to pursuing a musical career after leaving school.
Please don’t take my soul
Repetition of the plea not to lose one's essential self.
I tried to live the right way but I ain’t sure that I did
Revisiting the uncertainty of living a righteous life.
My heart too damn cold
Re-emphasizing the emotionally distant state of the speaker.
I’ve been an angel and a demon in disguise since a kid
Reiterating the dual nature of the speaker's character from childhood.
(So)
Transition in the narrative or emotional tone.
Please don’t take my soul
Reiteration of the plea not to lose one's essential self.
I tried to live the right way but I ain’t sure that I did
Revisiting the uncertainty of living a righteous life.
My heart too damn cold
Re-emphasizing the emotionally distant state of the speaker.
I’ve been an angel a and demon in disguise since a kid
Reiterating the dual nature of the speaker's character from childhood.
