July
Bei Maejor feat. Drake & Jhené Aiko Lyrics

Uh, this verse starts as my snipers hit their marks
As this narration commences, my sharpshooters are hitting their targets accurately

And your guards fall down from a rifle to the heart
Your defenses crumble when hit by a bullet to the core

Like, clap, clap, let 'em fall slow
Applauding as they collapse gracefully

I know you had your fears, you can let 'em all go
Acknowledging your worries, but encouraging you to release them

And most women are motivated so I act accordingly
Recognizing that many women are driven, adjusting my behavior accordingly

But this is so refreshing that it means a little more to me
Finding this experience particularly rejuvenating and significant

Dedicating time when I really can't afford to be
Allocating time even when it is at a premium

I provide protection if you open up the door for me
Offering safety and security if you allow me into your life

Couple stares, couple texts, couple dates
A few shared glances, messages, and outings

Couple "I think that we're ready"s
Mutual declarations of readiness

Couple "I think we should wait"s
Considering the option to delay decisions

Are we actin' like a couple? I'm just tryna get it straight
Clarifying if we are behaving as a committed pair

'Cause I'm over here convinced that it's too early for mistakes
Believing it is premature to make errors

Oh, you had to change up the game
Expressing the disappointment of a shift in dynamics

Oh, the weather is not the same (the same)
Comparing the atmosphere to reflect altered circumstances

Now there's only cloudy days
Presenting a metaphor for the absence of brightness

I can't stand the rain in July
Expressing discomfort with emotional precipitation in summer

There were fireworks explodin' (explodin')
Memories of colorful explosions now fading

But now it's getting colder (colder)
Transitioning into a chillier emotional climate

The leaves are turning color (yeah-yeah)
Observing the seasonal transformation symbolically

Why?
Questioning the reasons behind the change

It's just not our season (season)
Accepting that the timing is not in our favor

The one and only reason
Identifying the sole cause of the relationship's decline

Baby, oh baby, oh
Expressing regret for the romantic downfall

Our summer turned into fall
Metaphorically describing the transformation of our love

Damn, tell me where did all the magic go
Seeking answers for the disappearance of enchantment

I followed the rules and told you everything you had to know
Adhering to expectations and being transparent

Had you over every night, every night was passionate
Spending intimate evenings filled with fervor

Plus, you met my mother even if it was an accident
Introducing you to my family, even unintentionally

I'm confused tell me where we go wrong
Feeling perplexed about the errors in our relationship

I was sure that I would be with you for so long
Believing that our connection was long-lasting

I was planning on this being something worth mentioning
Envisioning a relationship worth celebrating

Energy invested in someone I saw potential in
Putting effort into someone I believed had promise

Who killed chivalry? They need to get their sentencin'
Questioning the demise of courteous behavior

Meanwhile we arguing and I can't get a sentence in
Struggling to express myself amidst our disputes

And just as I predicted here we go again
Experiencing familiar relationship patterns repeating

They always say the hottest love had the coldest end
Quoting a common belief about passionate relationships

See, it's funny 'cause
Ironically,

I never thought this would end
Surprised by the unexpected conclusion

But then the season changed
Realizing that circumstances evolved over time

You were my, you were my, you were my girl (I was your girl)
Acknowledging the mutual connection as significant

Shoulda made, shoulda made you my world (your world)
Reflecting on missed opportunities to prioritize the relationship

Shoulda did everything to make you happy, baby
Regretting not going above and beyond for your happiness

(What you say?) Oh yeah
Affirming acknowledgment of past mistakes

Can't wait for (oh)
Anticipating

Can't wait for (oh)
Eagerly awaiting

Can't wait for
Excited for

Can't wait for springtime (that's right)
Longing for the rejuvenation of spring

And I will turn into a butterfly
Symbolically transforming into a liberated being

I will spread my wings and fly (oh yeah)
Embracing newfound freedom and independence

(Whoa)
Emphasizing the transformative journey ahead

And I'm too fly for this shit (fly)
Confident in my ability to rise above the negativity

Oh-whoa
Expressing determination and charm
