Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This love, this love, this love won't last forever
This love, this love, this love can own our ass
This love, this love, this love won't last forever
And this love, and this love, and gon' own our

I think my cup is getting muddy, oh buddy
Is this that punch, drunk, and lovey? No buggy
Eyes bloody when we out in public, I'm hubby, she say she love me

Wasted money on syrup and honey, she think she Duffy
Then I became a druggy, enhanced my fame and money
And for your pain and suffering, my karma's waiting for me
Expecting payments from me, but she won't get a damn thing from me
She just might get a band aid from me
You swear the Benz and these plans ain't for me (shit)

I know I'm a scumbag and now your heart broke
The night is still young, for you to sip and whine
Slow, slow, slow, lemme see you whine
Slow, slow, slow, oh yeah
I know your heart is broken, pick up your wine glass
With your fine ass, before you whine fast (whine)
Slow, slow, just lemme see you whine
Slow, slow, oh yeah

This love, this love, this love won't last forever
This love, this love, this love can own our ass

How the fuck am I supposed to live?
How many fucks am I supposed to give? (hey)
How the fuck am I supposed to feel?
Treat it like a bill, cut the check and split (hey)
Tell your new bitch she can suck a dick (hey)
Tell your new bitch she can suck a dick (yeah)
Tell your new bitch she can suck a dick
Tell your new bitch she can suck a dick (yeah)

You the one that was putting up with me (hey)
You see how these streets corrupted me (hey)
I gotta conquer everything in front of me (hey)
Even though I broke your heart, how can you turn on me?
We with the shits on the real, I do this shit on the real
I like them drinks on the real, I fuck your bitch on the real (?)
We do this shit on the real, keep it real on the real
I was just keeping it G (hey), she don't spend money at first (hey)
Say you in love with me (hey), but I know it never gon' work
I come through, top back, hangin' out the 'vert (skrrt)
Eyes screwed up, I'm drinkin' syrup (woo)
I know that look that you givin' me
It's killing you softly, mentally

I know I'm a scumbag and now your heart broke (I know)
The night is still young, for you to sip and whine
Slow, slow, slow, lemme see you whine
Slow, slow, slow, oh yeah
I know your heart is broken, pick up your wine glass
With your fine ass, before you whine fast (whine)

Slow, slow, slow, lemme see you whine (I know)
Slow, slow, oh yeah (I know your heart broken)

The lines "I know I'm a scum bag and now your heart broke" and "expecting pain from me, but she won't get a damn thing from me" paint a picture of a man who is aware of his flaws and the damage he's caused, yet he still seems to revel in the situation.

Line by Line Meaning

This love, this love, this love gon' master it
The passion in this relationship will overpower any difficulties

This love, this love, this love can own our eyes
The love in this relationship can make everything else insignificant

And this love, and this love, and this love gon' know our
This love will be the defining aspect of our lives

I think my cup is getting muddy, oh buddy
I'm getting too drunk and high to think straight

Is this that punch, drunk, and love it, no buggy?
Am I swept away by love or just feeling intoxicated?

Eyes bloody when we out in public, I'm hubby, she say she love me
We party hard and she claims to love me

Wasted money on syrup and honey, she think she Duffy
We spent too much money on drugs and luxury

Then I became the druggy, enhance my fame and money
Drugs and fame have become intertwined for me

And for your pain and suffering, our time is waiting for me
I expect her to wait for me, despite any emotional pain it may cause

Expecting pain is from me, but she won't get a damn thing from me
I know I'm responsible for her pain, but won't do anything to make it better

She just might get a band aid from me, you swear the Benz and these bands ain't from me
I'll only make a token effort to help, despite my wealth and expensive possessions

I know I'm a scum bag and now your heart broke
I know I'm a terrible person and have hurt her deeply

The night is still young, for you to sleep and whine
There's still time to complain and feel upset

Slow, slow, slow, for you to sleep and whine
Take your time and wallow in your sadness

I know your heart is broken, pick up your wine glass
I'm aware of the pain I've caused, have a drink and try to forget about it

With your fine ass, before your wine glass
You're beautiful, but don't let the wine get the best of you

How the fuck am I supposed to live
I don't know how to cope with my problems

How many fucks am I supposed to give
I don't care about anything and don't know how to change that

How the fuck am I supposed to feel
I don't understand my emotions or how to express them

Treated like the bellboy, check and split
I feel taken advantage of and disrespected

Tell your new bitch she can suck a dick
I'm bitter and resentful towards my ex and her new partner

We do this shit on the real, keep it real on the real
We live life authentically and don't pretend to be something we're not

I was just keeping it G, she don't spend money at first
I was being honest and upfront, but she still took advantage of me financially

Say you're in love with me, but I know it never gon' work
Despite claiming to love me, I know our relationship is doomed to fail

I know that look that you givin' me
I can see the disappointment and anger in her eyes

This killer she's awfully into me
She's drawn to the dangerous and toxic parts of me, even though it's not healthy

Slow, slow, just lemme see you whine
Take your time and let yourself feel upset

Slow, slow, oh yeah
Take it easy and don't rush through your emotions
