Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been thinkin' bout
How we used to share one world but that's over now
Life without you just aint life and its killin' me
'Cause we just walked away turned our backs
On the beautiful dreams
I want you back coz im in need (all I need)
All I need to know is have you thought about me
Lately, all the trouble we used to get in my baby
Lately, in the backseat of my Benz now baby
Lately, we'll let the top drop you'll get on top baby
Lately, hav u thought about me thought about me
Girl I waz wrong so dead wrong with those things I did how could I lie how could I cheat
How'd you put up with it
Just like LL man I need love but ur so far away
Can u put it on me this playaz so lonely
Theres got to be a way
I want you back coz im in need (all I need)
All I need to know is have you thought about me
Lately, all the trouble we used to get in my baby
Lately, in the backseat of my Benz now baby
Lately, we'll let the top drop you'll get on top baby
Lately, hav u thought about me thought about me
Lately, what keeps me missin all that good love
My phsyci wont let me forget all the good love
Though our worlds apart Im still buggin on it
Lately
Lately, all the trouble we used to get in my baby
Lately, in the backseat of my Benz now baby
Lately, we'll let the top drop you'll get on top baby
Lately, hav u thought about me thought about me
The song "Lately" by B. Killa is a heartfelt confession of his regret and longing for a lost love. He starts by describing the girl as a "pretty young thing" and how they used to share a world together. The relationship has ended, but he can't forget her and feels that life without her is not worth living.
The lyrics then go on to talk about how he was wrong, in fact, dead wrong for the things he did to hurt her. He regrets his past actions and wants her to come back to him. He references LL Cool J's song "I Need Love," but feels he is so far away from her, and he is lonely. He expresses his desire for her to put it on him and the desperation for them to be together again.
The chorus repeatedly asks the girl if she has thought about him lately, bringing the focus back to their past experiences together.

The song ends with his thoughts consumed by her, unable to let go of the memories of their love.
