Lately
C Glizzy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna tell you I love but I don't ever get the chance,
and my hand clutchin the glock while i'm thinking bout these bands,
why I'm screaming free smoke gon head and dirty dance,
and while you thinking romance I'm thinking bout you with no pants.
These n***as know ain't no testing me, catch a opp ain't no scratching me,
catch a B before I catch a C, earn my stripes like a referee.
Ain't too much to be next to me, fucking hoes while you texting me,
ain't been around you've been stressing me, and some n***as been testing me,

so I move with the tech on me. And when you say you love me do you mean it,
and my bad lately I've been conceited, don't know if this the real world or I'm just dreaming,
you know I'm on the stroll if I'm not home I'm just skeeming.
Sometimes I wanna say I love you but I don't,
the plan was the bag do the dash and move on,
we gon turn up on they ass thugged out smoking strong,
and you know I'm in my feelings when I'm sipping on that tron.
How I know you gon ride for me, how I know who gon die for me,
some people telling lies to me I ain't really about me.

(Chorus 2x)
And lately I've been on the go all day,
and lately I've been on some take your soul away,
and lately I've been on go all day
and lately I've been on some take your soul away, a
nd shit been getting crazy so I just started to break,
will I live or will I die cause I can die anyday.

Never had love cause nobody really fuck with me,
saying you my dog why you trynna back door me,
Murder rate rising, bodies is dropping,
when pressure on ain't no calling, off aint no stopping.
I say I like you, you love me and sometimes I be stressing
I just want you to hug me, Bonnie Clyde type of shit,
we gon make the pot bubbly, top offkicking shit,
polo'd down like a rugby and I ain't asking for shit
just to be there for me, just be there for me,
bout you imma rock out it get ugly,
in my section laying glocks out it get real bloody,
pin you down and whip my cock out
from the back and knock yo back out.
Fuck a n***a we won't back down I was lost but I'm on track now,
I've been going crazy taking these meds I'm losing focus,
the shit that's going through my head me and you notice,
Found a way aint have to wait, I got my own shit.

And you the reason I ain't gon love no more, it's really you,

so many times I'm just sympathizing shit,
I don't be knowing who really be fucking with me cause nobody ain't ever been for me.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to C Glizzy's song Lately appear to be a reflection on the artist's experiences with love, loss, and the challenges of growing up in an environment where violence and danger are commonplace. The song seems to portray a young man who has become hardened and jaded due to his experiences, struggling to find love and meaning in a world that often seems cruel and unforgiving. The repeated references to guns and violence suggest that the artist is deeply aware of the dangers of his surroundings and is constantly on guard against potential threats. At the same time, the lyrics also hint at a softer side to the artist's personality, with references to romantic love and a desire for connection and intimacy.

One interesting aspect of the song is the way the artist aggressively asserts his masculinity and power through his lyrics. He talks about carrying a gun, earning his stripes like a referee, and "pinning down" his partner. At the same time, however, his lyrics also reveal a sense of vulnerability and uncertainty, with references to feeling lost and struggling to find his way.

Another fascinating aspect of the song is the way it foregrounds the theme of love and relationships. While many rap songs focus primarily on violence, money, and status, Lately delves into the complicated emotions and experiences that come with falling in love and trying to maintain a relationship in a challenging environment. The song's lyrics suggest that the artist is searching for meaning and connection in a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable.
