Look At Me
8-9 Boyz Lyrics

Look at me now
Take a moment to observe my current state or condition

Yeah
Expressing agreement or confirmation

I'm in uh cold way
I feel emotionally distant or detached

4 way
Being unsure about which direction to take

I'm in my old ways
I have returned to my previous habits or behaviors

I felt the vibe shift
I noticed a change in the atmosphere or energy

Look at me now
Take another moment to observe my current state or condition

I'm in my own lane
I am focusing on my own path or journey

I never tried this
I have not attempted something like this before

I been rude to myself
I have treated myself poorly or disrespectfully

And neglectin' my own way
I have been ignoring my own path or direction

I lose uh vibe quick
I quickly lose my positive energy or enthusiasm

And I think about how I'll be better at yo place
I contemplate how I can improve myself in your presence

How does it feel to be you (you)
What is it like to be in your shoes or experience your perspective

How does it feel to be used (used)
What is it like to be taken advantage of or manipulated

How does it feel to know I tried to compensate
What is the sensation of realizing I attempted to make up for something

Just by buyin' you shoes
Simply by purchasing footwear for you

I liked it better at yo place
I preferred the environment or atmosphere at your location

We would kiss and then fuck in the hallway
We engaged in intimate activities in the corridor

I was claimin' you out in the broad day
I publicly declared that you were mine during daylight hours

And was fckin' uh hoe under yo face
I was engaging in sexual acts with someone beneath your presence

Hit her once and we came right where you lay
We had intercourse once and ejaculated in the same proximity where you were lying

Had her drawls in the room right where you stay
Her undergarments were present in the same space where you reside

You was sleep and I snuck to go get slain
You were asleep and I discreetly went to have sex with someone else

When I look back I see I was insane
Upon reflection, I realize I was mentally unstable or irrational

I was causin' you nothin' but mo' pain
I was only inflicting more suffering upon you

I was caught up and lovin' my old ways
I was entangled in and enjoying my previous habits or behaviors

Gettin' head from uh bitch in the midday
Receiving oral sex from another woman during the daytime

And then laid up with you like I don't play
Afterwards, I would relax with you as if nothing happened

What He Say
A phrase expressing interest or curiosity about someone's statement

It's Jiggy Cr8
Introducing oneself as Jiggy Cr8

Ain't no way I could think about heartbreak
There is no possibility for me to dwell on emotional pain

Bein' laid up with you when we stargaze
Being physically close to you while we gaze at the stars

Last time we talked it had been uh minute
The most recent conversation between us occurred a long time ago

I guess I never thought we would really finish
I suppose I never believed our relationship would truly end

But I'm keepin' it coo
Nevertheless, I am remaining calm and composed

Cause I'm too Legit
Because I am authentic and genuine

I got friends who got friends sayin' who is this
People in my social circle are questioning my identity or actions

Imma run up uh bag I can't do the friendship
I will pursue financial success and cannot prioritize friendships

Guess I could hit and then do the race
Perhaps I can engage in a sexual encounter and then quickly leave

Grab all my shit I won't leave uh trace
Collect all my belongings without leaving any evidence behind

I be rollin' around with uh happy face
I appear outwardly cheerful or content

But my mental be stuck and I'm in uh maze
However, my thoughts and emotions are trapped and confused

When I found myself cuffed I was in uh matrix
When I realized I was in a committed relationship, it felt like a complex and constructed reality

I know you don't know me
I am aware that you do not have a deep understanding of who I am

All uh y'all know the old me
Everyone is familiar with the past version of myself

Look at me now (Look at me)
Pay attention to my current state or condition

I'm in uh cold way
I feel emotionally distant or detached

Oooh
Expressing surprise or awe

I'm in my own lane
I am focusing on my own path or journey
