To work it out
What you heard about me, it's just word of mouth
Gotta get it from the source, you holding out
Baby come show me now, cuz this your moment
So pop out and own it
No one controlling you
I can only speak my mind and show truth
You ain't good at hiding face lies, is holding you down
But if you open up, I promise you now
I can be the man you dreamt and thought bout
So baby open up and let it all out
Before we fallout (uh huh)
Yeah
Too soon
Gotta see in clears eye view (you see it)
I've been seeing plenty, but I'll tell you just a few
You be overthinking not even having a clue
Who knew old dude would have you this glued
(Come on and try it babe)
No wasting no time, cuz you know who you are
Come on baby and (try it babe)
We are who we are, if you need something new
Come on baby let's (try it babe)
Baby girl no frontin'
I got what u need, ain't no need for no discussion, yeah
Baby, only if you try
I can treat you better than them niggas, no lie
You know it's true, homie do be saving lives
But she heard that old dude got dirty ties
No need to analyze
Ain't in his heart, but he too quick to fantasize
And she a fan of size
So it's no surprise, the two falter to Cupid
It's all good 'til the truth fall, and she knew it
Why is it so hard for them just to be one
She wants rings son
Dreams of mansions
He told her baby and try
Once upon a time, was a gleam in them eyes, and I like that
Gone for a minute, but girl I want you right back
Say you need a crutch, baby I could be your back
And we know we own that
I just need a blessing, girl can you phone back?
I got what you need, ain't no need to hold back
Say you're on that
But girl we know that
You gotta just
(Try it babe)
No wasting no time, cuz you know who you are
Come on baby and (try it babe)
We are who we are, if you need something new
Come on baby let's (try it babe)
Baby girl no frontin'
I got what u need, ain't no need for no discussion, yeah
Baby, only if you try
I can treat you better than them niggas, no lie
In ØZI's song "If Only," the lyrics depict a plea for a romantic partner to give the relationship a chance. The opening lines encourage the listener to work through any preconceived notions or rumors they may have heard about the singer. The line "Gotta get it from the source, you holding out" suggests that the singer wants the listener to hear their side of the story directly from them, instead of relying on hearsay.
The lyrics emphasize a sense of control, with the singer stating that no one is controlling the listener's actions or decisions. The repetition of "Baby come show me now, cuz this your moment" reinforces the idea that the listener should take charge and embrace the opportunity to express themselves. The singer also assures the listener that they can be genuine and truthful, but that the lies they may be hiding will eventually be revealed.
The chorus of the song conveys a sense of urgency, urging the listener to open up and share their thoughts and feelings before it's too late and the relationship falls apart. The lines "Too soon, gotta see in clears eye view" suggest that the singer wants the listener to take a step back and see the bigger picture, rather than overthinking and analyzing the situation without having all the facts.
Throughout the song, the singer highlights their ability to provide a fulfilling and authentic relationship, contrasting themselves with other men who may have ulterior motives or negative influences. The lyrics express a desire to be the person the listener has dreamed about, creating a sense of hope for a better future together.

我阿嬤剛走不到一年,一直想讓阿嬤看見我成功的樣子,但我還來不及變成更厲害的人,阿嬤就走了。
好想再窩在她身邊一起看八點檔,跟她說很多話。
心底一直有無以名狀的內疚,後來看到一句話是這麼說的:「你會覺得遺憾是因為你真的很愛她。」
等我達到目標,阿嬤在天上一定也會很開心吧。
聽到「凡凡啊,啊哩愛乖乖喔」直接爆淚..........真的好想阿嬤
謝謝ØZI ,讓這些日子的情緒有了出口。
@IDontWikeIt1999
很喜歡
這麼抒情的ØZI很迷人
—
最喜歡的一句是
「願意付出我所有 為了
能換一點時間 just to see you again」
我相信每個人都有想說這句話的對象
很貼切
—
我小時候是外婆帶大的
長大上學後卻不常回外婆家
現在讀大學時間比較彈性
應該要多回去陪陪外婆了...

我也好想好想外婆...我小時候外婆眼睛一邊已經看不到了,但她還是很愛去看巷口廟埕的歌仔戲,我卻是都看不懂,偷跑去對面菜市場裡面瞎逛她也不會發現,小時候每個假日從台南跟爸爸騎著腳踏車騎著海岸線到高雄茄萣,要去的時候都很開心,因為可以看到外婆,她總是跟我說地上的錢當作是我給你的零用錢好不好?因為她視力不好...走也走不穩,地上總是零錢....跟電台買的藥瓶藥丸...
外婆還會自己做碗粿跟肉粽,而且外婆很愛聽電台賣藥的政治的唱歌的都有,所以我小時候曾經被打電話上去唱歌,
印象中外婆跟媽媽教我的台語歌第一首是尤雅-等無人.....還有詹雅雯-阿母的手...
我的外婆在我國中的時候去世了..因為糖尿病跟併發症去世,那時候我還不是很懂事....長大了才知道無盡的思念
再回去高雄時門已經關起來了裡面沒有人了,門口還有灶跟取水器,也看不到外婆用了,但熟悉的氣味跟身影總是會浮現在我面前....
現在去KTV還是會唱外婆教我的台語歌,就算身旁的朋友聽不懂沒聽過,我還是要唱給外婆聽...
我好想妳..........
謝謝OZI寫了這首歌,相信阿嬤在天上也笑著看你得獎,一定很開心!
