Twisted
BROCKHAMPTON Ryan Beatty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some days I just don't feel it (don't feel it)
Some days I want my days to pass right by and change my spirits (yeah)
Your hatin' made me fearless (me fearless)
If it do not make me happy or bread
Then, dog, well, I just can't deal with it (deal with it)
Swear to God I'm 'bout my business (my business, yeah)
These drinks, they got me spinnin' (spinnin')
B boy, the way they twistin' up my words
For months, yeah they said I was missin'
Man, the world ain't out to get ya
They just tryna dismiss ya, 'miss ya, 'miss ya
(Yeah)
They keep twistin' up my words, shawty (yeah)
Got me stuck right in the dirt, shawty (yeah)
All day, all night, I worry, shawty like
(Luxury suite with the marble floors) shawty like, shawty like (yeah, ooh)
They keep twistin' up my words, shawty (yeah)
Got me stuck right in the dirt, shawty (yeah) (ooh, fun)
All day, all night, I work, shawty like
(The luxury suite with the marble floors) shawty like, shawty like
Tryna' drag my name in the dirt
There they go twistin' my words
Talkin' 'bout this what he say she say
Tell 'em I don't give a fuck
Tell 'em it ain't my concern
You ain't gotta be in my world
Talkin' 'bout this what he say she say
I don't give a fuck
(Give a fuck, give a fuck)
Stay ridin' 'round with my team, we don't give a fuck
I keep my space serene, still don't give a fuck
They don't wanna see me gleam, I been knew wassup (yeah, okay, yeah)
My attention span is outrageous
So invested 'til you come faceless
Where's the finish line that I can walk towards?
'Cause otherwise I'm on vacation
My location gone, my dick is long
I'm up and down 'til I make a song
Now tell me what I'm doin' wrong
So I can leave your ass and I make you feel neglected
Paranoid and uninvested
My money's gone but there's a bigger picture I got goin' on
"Who you signin' to?" "When the album come?"
"When your next shit drop can you make a song that goes to the lines of goin' through?
'Cause your new shit's good, but I gotta say
When I heard those chords I was blown away"
Nah, fuck that, my family just wants their son back
Lucky me, I'm just a scumbag
I watch a little TV, then it's back to the lab again
Workin' nights 'cause I wanna compete with producers
Out do these brain-dead losers
Yeah, you hate me, that's excuses, and I hate you too
If we were in the same room I think I'd fuck you too
I'm done with playin' games, you lame excuse of a stoner boy
I'm tired of people weighin' me down, I'm 'bout to drown in this empty void 'cause
Hey, I'm done with playin' games, shawty
Yeah, she wanna suck my dick, shawty
(Yeah, ooh)
They keep twistin' up my words, shawty (yeah)
Got me stuck right in the dirt, shawty (yeah) (ooh, fun)
All day, all night, I worry, shawty like
(Luxury suite with the marble floors) shawty like, shawty like
(Yeah, ooh)
They keep twistin' up my words, shawty (yeah)
Got me stuck right in the dirt, shawty (yeah) (ooh, fun)
All day, all night, I work, shawty like
(The luxury suite with the marble floors) shawty like, shawty like
Nobody sees it like we do
Nobody knows what we've been through
It's been a hell of a year, but I know you got me and I got you
Now look at the love, look at the love
Nobody sees it like we do
Nobody knows what we've been through
It's been a hell of a year, but I know you got me and I got you
Now look at the love, look at the love

Engaging in gossip and rumors about what others have said
Tell 'em I don't give a fuck
Inform them that I couldn't care less
Tell 'em it ain't my concern
Let them know that it doesn't matter to me
You ain't gotta be in my world
You don't have to be a part of my life
I don't give a fuck
I really don't care
(Give a fuck, give a fuck)
(Care, care)
Stay ridin' 'round with my team, we don't give a fuck
We continue to ride around with our crew, not caring about others' opinions
I keep my space serene, still don't give a fuck
I maintain a calm and peaceful environment, yet I remain indifferent
They don't wanna see me gleam, I been knew wassup (yeah, okay, yeah)
They don't want to witness my success, but I already knew that, you know
My attention span is outrageous
My ability to focus for long periods of time is incredibly high
So invested 'til you come faceless
I am deeply involved until you become unknown and unidentifiable
Where's the finish line that I can walk towards?
Where can I find the goal or destination to strive for?
'Cause otherwise I'm on vacation
Because otherwise, I'm not making any progress or accomplishing anything
My location gone, my dick is long
I have lost my sense of direction, but I am still confident and impressive
I'm up and down 'til I make a song
I experience various emotions until I create a piece of music
Now tell me what I'm doin' wrong
Please inform me of my mistakes and shortcomings
So I can leave your ass and I make you feel neglected
Allowing me to end our relationship and make you feel ignored
Paranoid and uninvested
Feeling anxious and uncommitted
My money's gone but there's a bigger picture I got goin' on
Although I've lost my financial stability, I have a larger plan in motion
"Who you signin' to?" "When the album come?"
"Which record label are you signing with?" "When will your album be released?"
"When your next shit drop can you make a song that goes to the lines of goin' through?
"Can your next release feature lyrics that explore the struggles and challenges"
'Cause your new shit's good, but I gotta say
Because your recent work is impressive, but I have one thing to mention
When I heard those chords I was blown away"
When I listened to the musical progression, I was greatly impressed
Nah, fuck that, my family just wants their son back
No, forget that, my family simply wants me back to the way I used to be
Lucky me, I'm just a scumbag
Fortunately, I am just a worthless person
I watch a little TV, then it's back to the lab again
I take a short break to watch some television, then I return to the studio
Workin' nights 'cause I wanna compete with producers
Working during the night because I aspire to match the skills of other music producers
Out do these brain-dead losers
Surpassing these unintelligent and uninspired individuals
Yeah, you hate me, that's excuses, and I hate you too
Yes, you despise me, but that's just an excuse, and I also dislike you
If we were in the same room I think I'd fuck you too
If we were in close proximity, I believe I would also have a negative encounter with you
I'm done with playin' games, you lame excuse of a stoner boy
I am done with engaging in trivial activities, you uninteresting and apathetic individual
I'm tired of people weighin' me down, I'm 'bout to drown in this empty void 'cause
I am exhausted from others bringing me down, and now I feel like I'm sinking into this empty abyss
Nobody sees it like we do
No one perceives things the way we do
Nobody knows what we've been through
No one understands the experiences we have gone through
It's been a hell of a year, but I know you got me and I got you
It has been a challenging year, but I trust that you support me and I support you
Now look at the love, look at the love
Now observe the affection and support we have for each other
