Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bitch got checking in
Checking into my own hell
With other peoples hell
I forgot to ask, are you doing well
Hold up why do I ask, bitch I do not care
Broke me it ain't fair (Yeah, yeah)
Come back if you dare
Come back with a pair
Cause Ima go off (Go off)
To you no longer soft (Yeah)
Why should I be soft (Yeah)
I can't be soft to my demons
I pull right up in my whip, pull up at the hotel (Skrt skrt)
Afraid what might be inside, welcome to my new hell
There's a lot of broken souls and hearts like me right in the lot (God damn)
I cannot believe the numbers holy shit that is a lot
Check my bags
I got drip, drippy clothes
Drippy jewels, clean shoes
I got pills, no feels
How I feel, don't feel
Anymore, no more
It's a chore, petty chore
I got everything now I carry my shit right through the door
Hello sir how may I help you today
I'm here to check in and get a room
Ah yes, how long will you be staying
Um, about a week
Excellent! Enjoy your stay!
I am feeling fucking tense (Fuck)
Should I build my defense
Other broken hearts here might as well have friends with benefits
Bitch I got a nemesis, second nemesis (Yeah)
Yes I'm putting emphasis
But I'm not prejudice
Bitch I got a reason
Leaving me for different dude bitch that is treason
Heartbreak season
Bitch got me real cold, freezing cold (Brr)
Colder than the drip that I be wearing that I'm freezing in
Fuck she got me checking in
Bitch got checking in
Checking into my own hell
With other peoples hell
I forgot to ask, are you doing well
Hold up why do I ask, bitch I do not care
Broke me it ain't fair (Yeah, yeah)
Come back if you dare
If your coming back (Bitch don't come back)
Come back with a pair
Cause Ima go off (Go off)
To you no longer soft (Yeah)
Why should I be soft (Yeah)
I can't be soft to my demons

Way ahead of his time. Only a few people in our lifetime/generation who has had such a profound impact on so many people. This is the type of music that will always be remembered. Mr. Marley has secured his spot in heaven. His music has helped millions of people! 40+ years later and the music is still relevant! He was a messenger! His entire bloodline cannot even come close to what he has done. The man is still a modern marvel! Give them an inch, they take a yard. Give them a yard, they a mile; once a man and twice a child., and everything is just for a while!
