Love Me
1 Ton Lyrics

Do you love me?
Asking if the person truly loves and accepts them.

'cause every body knows me name;
Wonders if they are loved just for their popularity and fame.

And I gained a little power and fame,
Reflecting on how their achievement has brought them popularity.

Do you love me?
Asking if the person loves them for their passion and talent in rapping.

'cause I'm rappin on this stage and it pays more then minimum wage
Reflecting on how their passion can bring them financial stability.

Do you love me?
Asking if the person is genuine in expressing their love.

That's what you sayin in my face
Acknowledging that people may say things they don't mean.

But ill catch it if your real or your fake
Aware of people’s intentions and that not everyone is who they pretend to be.

Why don't you love me?
Questioning why someone doesn’t love and accept them for who they are.

For bein me
Emphasizing how important it is to feel loved and accepted for being themselves.

But ill never know so ill never let my feelings grow
Acknowledging that they may never know if someone truly loves and accepts them, and hesitant to let their feelings grow due to this uncertainty.

will ya love me?
Asking if the person will love and accept them despite their flaws and circumstances.

If I can't afford a wedding ring going broke chasin my dream.
Questioning if the person will still love them even if they can’t afford to give them everything they want.

If I had to go to jail for possession with attention to sell.
Asking if the person will stand by their side even if they get into legal trouble for pursuing their passion.

If we can never have a baby 'cause I gotta smoke a blunt on the daily.
Asking if the person will still love them even if they can’t have children due to their habits.

When you get a call sayin that she fucked me a show last fall.
Asking if the person will still love and trust them even if they hear rumors or accusations about them.

I'm an aspiring rapper who make a livin from growin
Describing themselves as someone who is trying to make a living as a rapper.

I don't know where I'm going.
Acknowledging that they are uncertain about their future.

Only know that I'm gridin;
Emphasizing the efforts they put in to pursue their passion.

Just so that I can pay rent.
Giving a reason for putting in so much hard work.

Can't have no kid 'cause ill be broke;
Acknowledging their financial struggles that might prevent them from having children.

And ill be fighting the stress.
Being aware of the stress that comes along with pursuing their passion.

When I'm rappin they clappin
Describing how the audience reacts when they perform.

They just some groupie hoes;
Referring to some of the people who show interest in them, especially sexually.

And they lie when I reject em.
Acknowledging that some people may lie to get their attention or to feel validated.

Is that a groupie,
Questioning the intentions of some people who try to get close to them.

Or am I the dumbest man alive?
Reflecting on the possibility that they may be fooled by others.

I must be stupid.
Admitting that they may sometimes make mistakes due to their vulnerability.

But the voices in my head say;
Expressing the doubts and fears that they have in their mind.

Josh don't be a fool.
Addressing themselves by name, advising themselves to not make foolish decisions.

To make a long story short,
Summarizing their situation in a brief manner.

Now she's gone;
Referring to someone they used to be with who is no longer in their life.

While I'm sittin here alone writing words to this song.
Acknowledging the loneliness they feel, and how they channel it into their songwriting.

Ain't nothin I can do;
Feeling helpless and unable to change their circumstances.

Every time I meet a girl
Reflecting on how their past experiences have affected their ability to trust and form relationships with others.

I'm always getting so confused.
Admitting that they may be unable to read people properly due to their past experiences and fears.

I wanna open up I wanna show you how I feel,
Expressing a desire to be vulnerable and open with others.

But I'm scared and I don't know if your love is real.
Admitting their fear of being hurt and doubting the validity of other people's love and intentions.
