Love Letter
Bobby JaGGerJacK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(You know I think everybody's probably had a relationship that was instrumental to who and where they are emotionally, but for me this was that one, fuck it..)

I remember when I went to Fisk, and the moment that I met you, I acted like I couldn't find my way and you could show me, so I let you, I'm sitting inside of that talent show turning around in my chair like a kid now, I'm thinking about all of the stupidest shit that I did but the fact that I'm here now, word to Cloyd and Aunt Berna, they said "go to college", I heard ya,

it was 2014 and I'd do anything to get the fuck away from Cleveland, I went in for an education, but I came home with my heart gone, and I ain't even really mad about it, cuz I recognize what you are though, you showed me something that I didn't know, that I was capable of being different, but I was a really stubborn muthafuckah, so in the beginning I didn't listen,

my pockets were tight and I couldn't afford it, I had to go back to the crib but I made sure that I stayed in touch, and that's how we ended up here, we didn't work out but that's alright, cuz I learned me a couple of lessons, and I ain't really the religious type, but being with you was a blessing,
cuz it got me ready for the next stage, in a different book, on the same page, but I gotta be honest, if we had the opportunity to do it again, I'd come running back to your ass, but I guess my love is different, cuz any other nigga probably would've moved on if he wasn't hitting, we ate together, we played together, we laid together, and we stayed together, ("Can you answer the phone?")





I'm afraid I can't do that, cuz it will only make this worse, I done been through way too much and I won't volunteer to be hurt, fuck that, so I guess I gotta let you go, cuz I can't wait around my entire life, for a woman that already told me no!

I remember when I went to Fisk, and the moment that I met you, I acted like I couldn't find my way and you could show me, so I let you, I'm sitting inside of that talent show turning around in my chair like a kid now, I'm thinking about all of the stupidest shit that I did but the fact that I'm here now, word to Cloyd and Aunt Berna, they said "go to college", I heard ya,
I recall the time I attended Fisk University and the instant I encountered you. I pretended to be lost, hoping you would guide me. Eventually, I ended up sitting at a talent show, feeling youthful and reflecting on the foolish mistakes I made. Despite that, I am grateful for the experiences that led me to where I am now. Shoutout to Cloyd and Aunt Berna who advised me to pursue higher education, I listened to your wisdom.


it was 2014 and I'd do anything to get the fuck away from Cleveland, I went in for an education, but I came home with my heart gone, and I ain't even really mad about it, cuz I recognize what you are though, you showed me something that I didn't know, that I was capable of being different, but I was a really stubborn muthafuckah, so in the beginning I didn't listen,
In 2014, I was desperate to escape Cleveland and was willing to do anything. Although my intention was to pursue education, I returned home emotionally shattered. Strangely, I don't harbor resentment because I realize what you were to me. You revealed an aspect of myself that I was unaware of — the capacity for change. However, due to my obstinacy, I initially disregarded your guidance.


my pockets were tight and I couldn't afford it, I had to go back to the crib but I made sure that I stayed in touch, and that's how we ended up here, we didn't work out but that's alright, cuz I learned me a couple of lessons, and I ain't really the religious type, but being with you was a blessing,
I faced financial constraints and couldn't afford to stay, so I returned to my humble abode. Nevertheless, I ensured we remained connected, resulting in our current situation. Although our relationship didn't succeed, I am at peace with it because I acquired valuable knowledge. Even if I'm not particularly religious, I consider the time spent with you a fortunate occurrence.


cuz it got me ready for the next stage, in a different book, on the same page, but I gotta be honest, if we had the opportunity to do it again, I'd come running back to your ass, but I guess my love is different, cuz any other nigga probably would've moved on if he wasn't hitting, we ate together, we played together, we laid together, and we stayed together, ("Can you answer the phone?")
Our relationship prepared me for the subsequent phase of my life, wherein I find myself in a new situation but with a familiar mentality. However, I must confess that if given the chance, I would eagerly return to you. Yet, my love is unique because unlike most men, I wouldn't simply move on if physical intimacy wasn't involved. We shared meals, joyful moments, intimate encounters, and remained committed to each other. ("Can you answer the phone?")


I'm afraid I can't do that, cuz it will only make this worse, I done been through way too much and I won't volunteer to be hurt, fuck that, so I guess I gotta let you go, cuz I can't wait around my entire life, for a woman that already told me no!
Unfortunately, I cannot comply with your request as it would exacerbate the situation. I have already endured significant pain, and I refuse to willingly subject myself to further hurt. Therefore, I suppose I have no choice but to release you from my grasp because I cannot spend my whole life waiting for someone who has already rejected me!
