Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

D-D-Don’t be coming out there if you switching sides (switching sides)

Night time feels be lurking
Call the stu a funeral parlour

Whack never making the list
I can’t be fucking with no yes man
Fugazi get to stepping
If you meet me up in person
You’ll know that I’m a menace
Lil nigga here’s a lesson
Classes are in session
If their nose up in your shit
Tell ‘em bitch bitch bitch bitch
Bitch get off my dick
I think you’ve been riding for way too long
Johnny sparking jets, I co-pilot a Johnny Freddy song
I’m a boss the way I flaunt
Badu, my shit go on and on
Gorillas going bananas
Ape shit becoming a habit (Call me Kong)
D-D-Don’t be coming outthere if you switching sides (switching sides)
Ain’t no time to stutter this shit do or die (do or die)

Tell me whatcha say now?
Tell me whatcha say
Come again?
If you cannot stay down
Then you do not have to pretend
Like there is no way out
I shoulda never let you in
'Cause you got me face down
And don't take this personal
But you're the worst
You know what you've done to me
And although it hurts I know
I just can't keep runnin' away
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you
But I want you
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I love you
Tell me whatcha say now
Tell me whatcha say?
You said that you would come again
You said that we would remain friends but
You know that I do not depend on
Nothing or no one
So why would you show up
So uninvited then
Just change my mind like that
Please don't take this personal
But you ain't shit
And you weren't special
'Til I made you so
You better act like you know
That I been through worse than you
I just can't keep runnin' away
But I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you
But I want you (but I want you)
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I love you (ayy, ayy)
Everybody's like
"He's no item"
"Please don't like 'em"
"He don't wife 'em"
"He one nights 'em"
I never listen, no
I shoulda figured though
All that shit you was spittin'
So unoriginal
But it was you
So I was with it
And tell you the truth
Wish we never did it
'Cause I usually do
Stick to the business
But you came out the blue
And then you just flipped it
Goddamn baby
My mind's blown
Be forgettin'
You live in a different time zone
Think I know what this is
It's just the time's wrong
Yeah, I know what you did
But, baby, I'm grown
And my love is patient
And kind, and shit
This is real we can build
Through different types of shit
If you was really the realest
Wouldn't be fightin' it
I think your pride is just
In the way
Funny how everything changed
Once you got all that you wanted
Nothing was ever the same
And though I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you
I still want you (oh)
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I, but I love you
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you
But I want you
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
I don't mean to, I don't mean to
But I love you
