Sister
9 And The Numbers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And she's the reason but I ain't folding
Offer my shoulder
When she was crying I would console her
I won't control her
And I would say that she made me bolder
Cause what I've feared
Was only in the eyes of the beholder
Cause every new relationship is then an ex to be
Only the real will prevail and not who pretends to be
And I won't ever forget the words that were said to me
You was the realest until the end where the fake ascends
You'd go and break a n****s heart then say you hate the man
You're the best at playing the victim, you play pretend
And it's your ego, the reason you wouldn't make amends
Your baby father was a good man and you did him dirty
Instead of leading me on you should've went and curved me
I should've learned from my brothers' pain when they was hurting
It was a plate of disaster for me that you was serving
I should've never looked after you
Should've laughed at you
The way you acted towards me with your lil attitude
Was really mad at you
Found out bout' things I hadn't knew
And you should know I'm happy now
And I just hope you're happy too
I don't understand this pain
My heart is cold and you're to blame
Now we're both not blind to see
That apples don't fall far from trees
Nah they don't
Now we see what ya'll on
Ain't just me who was sprung
Fucking dweebs, we were dumb
Ya'll the same
Nah they don't
Now we see what ya'll on
Ain't just me who was sprung
Fucking dweebs, we were dumb
Ya'll the same
Nah they don't
Now we see what ya'll on
Ain't just me who was sprung
Fucking dweebs, we were dumb
Ya'll the same
Nah they don't
Now we see what ya'll on
Ain't just me who was sprung
Fucking dweebs, we were dumb
Ya'll the same

Line by Line Meaning
My heart's got colder
I have become emotionally distant and guarded
And she's the reason but I ain't folding
She caused this change in me, but I refuse to let it break me
Offer my shoulder
I used to be there for her, providing support
When she was crying I would console her
I would comfort and console her during her moments of sadness
I won't control her
I refuse to possess or control her actions
And I would say that she made me bolder
She unintentionally made me stronger and more confident
Cause what I've feared
The things I was afraid of
Was only in the eyes of the beholder
Were only subjective perceptions
Shit sometimes I wish what's sent to me would be meant for me
Sometimes I desire that the challenges or experiences I face are truly meant for my growth
Cause every new relationship is then an ex to be
Because every relationship has the potential to end
Only the real will prevail and not who pretends to be
Only genuine individuals will succeed, not those who fake their true selves
And I won't ever forget the words that were said to me
I will always remember the hurtful words spoken to me
You was the realest until the end where the fake ascends
You appeared authentic, but eventually revealed your true, deceptive nature
You'd go and break a n****s heart then say you hate the man
You would intentionally hurt someone emotionally, then claim to despise them
You're the best at playing the victim, you play pretend
You excel at portraying yourself as the innocent party, pretending to be blameless
And it's your ego, the reason you wouldn't make amends
Your ego prevents you from seeking reconciliation or resolving conflicts
Your baby father was a good man and you did him dirty
You treated the father of your child poorly despite his goodness
Instead of leading me on you should've went and curved me
Rather than stringing me along, you should have rejected me from the start
I should've learned from my brothers' pain when they was hurting
I should have gained wisdom from witnessing my brothers' suffering
It was a plate of disaster for me that you was serving
Your actions brought nothing but chaos and pain into my life
I should've never looked after you
I should have never cared for or taken responsibility for you
Should've laughed at you
I should have mocked or ridiculed you instead
The way you acted towards me with your lil attitude
Your disrespectful behavior and small-minded attitude towards me
Was really mad at you
I was truly angry and disappointed with you
Found out bout' things I hadn't knew
I discovered information that was previously unknown to me
And you should know I'm happy now
You should be aware that I am now content and fulfilled
And I just hope you're happy too
I genuinely wish for your happiness as well
I don't understand this pain
I cannot comprehend or make sense of this emotional distress
My heart is cold and you're to blame
You are the reason for my heart becoming cold and unfeeling
Now we're both not blind to see
Now both of us are aware and no longer ignorant
That apples don't fall far from trees
That children often resemble or inherit traits from their parents
Now we see what ya'll on
Now we understand your true intentions and actions
Ain't just me who was sprung
It's not just me who was infatuated or deceived
Fucking dweebs, we were dumb
We were foolish and naive individuals
Ya'll the same
You all exhibit similar characteristics and behaviors
