B-Side Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I deserve love unconditionally
I deserve someone who will support me
In chasing my dreams
Because I am worthy
(Brliing)
Don't tell me you love me
No, you gotta show it (Gotta show it)
So you already know it's
Difficult for me to even trust somebody
(No, I don't trust nobody)
I been done so dirty don't want to talk about it
(Don't want to talk about it)
Swervin' switchin' through lanes
Just to feel like I got a grip on something
Lately I been waitressing
And it ain't hittin' for me
Stressing, buying scratch offs with tip money
Hoping that I'll hit big on something
So I can get a hunnit
Records of mine mixed down right, and mastered
I'm a perfectionist, so perfection's what I'm asking
I ain't asking too much
I put my all into this
This ain't no hobby
More than interest
It's business and baby
I don't work a lot but just enough to drive me crazy
It's vital that you understand
My life is 'bout creating
And heading towards greatness
See, you could be my peace of mind
And I could teach you patience
Believe in me (And all that we could be)
Like, I been making sacrifices by just doing this
And being driven and nothing else
But, like, having a partner to do this shit with
Is that much more special
It's just, like, that shit gotta be real
'Cause, it's the time
It's the energy
It's the passion
You gotta be fully immersed in this with me
Or not at all
Don't tell me you love me
No, you gotta show it (Gotta show it)
I been through some shit
So you already know it's
Difficult for me to even trust somebody
(No, I don't trust nobody)
I been done so dirty don't want to talk about it
(Don't want to talk about it)
I'm going up, up, up
Elevate
Let's just get this hella straight
I'ma make it anyway
Any day now
But on my bad days
Could you be the one to hold me down
And on yo' sad days
I vow that I will flip your frown
'Cause the only thing better than music
Is to hear you laughing
And the remedy for all these groupies
Is to kiss you 'round them (Haha)
I swear that you my favorite fan
But you way more than that
So, please, don't hold me back
I express my pain through art
Don't be my painted path
Just be my safety net
Don't be my heart attack
Don't be my headache
'Cause my head already spinnin'
I done lost so much
That's why I'm focused on winning
(Oh Yeah)
(Oh Yeah)
It's a lot that we could teach each other
Grow, evolve, build
That's that shit for me
(Oh Yeah)
It's Sammie B
