Betrayal
A.B.E.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You thought you could save me
You thought you could play me
The mood stopped, you betrayed me
True thoughts made you hate me
You thought you could save me
(But you're the one who needs it)
You thought you could play me
(I gave you what you needed)
This went on for too long
It ain't right
But I know I don't need you
I'll do better on my own now
You never found me
I don't need nobody
Don't need you around me (Yeah)
It ain't right but I know
That I'll do better on my own now
(Whoa, uh)
Ridin' too fast in the whip
You could say that I'm coming in clutch
I used to rock with her heavy but I cut her off
Cuz I heard she be doing too much
I had to learn through the years that these hoes for everyone
And niggas be fake, never trust
Not tryna go fall in love with nobody
Hard to tell the difference from love and the lust
They be saying I'm spazzin' too much
Now I got everyone hitting me up out the blue
To congratulate me cuz I'm up now
They be taking my kindness for weakness
Not with disrespect, you can really get shut down
I just looked at my left, as I looked at my right
This plane bout to go, got to buss down
Took a while to realize that nobody's solid on Earth
I don't know who to trust now
Things done changed (Yeah yeah)
I been looking at my life
Thinking bout how far I came
New hoes texting me a lot
They used to playing them games
I ain't asked for no umbrella
When I went through the rain
I don't do it for fame
You thought you could save me
You thought you could play me
The mood stopped, you betrayed me
True thoughts made you hate me
You thought you could save me
(But you're the one who needs it)
You thought you could play me
(I gave you what you needed)
This went on for too long
It ain't right
But I know I don't need you
I'll do better on my own now
You never found me
I don't need nobody
Don't need you around me (Yeah)




It ain't right but I know
That I'll do better on my own now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A.B.E.A.'s song "Betrayal" explore the painful experience of being deceived and let down by someone who was supposed to be supportive. The singer initially believed that this person was trying to "save" them, but soon realized that they were really trying to "play" them for their own gain. As the relationship deteriorated, the other person became hostile and hateful, revealing their true thoughts and feelings.


Despite the hurt and confusion, the singer ultimately finds a sense of empowerment in the realization that they don't need this person in their life. They express a desire to move on and do better on their own, rejecting the other person and anyone else who might try to bring them down or take advantage of them.


The second half of the song shifts to a more general commentary on the difficulty of trusting others and achieving success in a world full of superficiality and deceit. The singer reflects on their own experiences with "h*es" and "n*ggas" who proved untrustworthy, and notes that they've grown more discerning and guarded as a result.


Overall, "Betrayal" is a deeply personal and emotionally charged track that explores themes of betrayal, resilience, and the challenges of navigating relationships in a world full of uncertainty.
