Caught Up
Caleborate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, yeah
I'm caught up in these feelings that I got
Just went to see my pops
In the ATL like Rashad
Came back with a new new view on how I see you
And how I see myself, I'm not the same bitch, I grew
A few big checks, a few gold chains
Would really help a young nigga find peace inside his brain
I know that I'm gon' shine, so I find peace beside the rain
I know I got a couple problems on my father I could blame
But I'm not gon' play that game
Just leave me out the lineup
I leave our problems where I leave the police (behind us)
Realize that I don't do this shit for retweets or dollars
I'm just a byproduct of the pain I keep inside of
My mind is always racing, but they ain't no fucking driver
My heart is more cold than a pimp to a client
'cause I am not perfect, unlike God's timing
I wanna do better, and I'm tryin'
I'm caught up
Yeah, I'm caught up
I'm caught up
Yeah
I'm caught up
Caught up
Yeah, yeah
I'm caught up
2, yeah
I'm caught up in these feelings that I got for my ex-bitch
Send you a text, get no reply, but see you flexin'
I know I'm 'posed to be all hard and never sweat shit
But it hurt when you lose the one that you connect with
I told you I was going through some real-real ass shit
And no, this is not about the relationship or you bein' my chick
Please just hit my phone so we can talk when time permits
3 days went by, I never heard from you
I know I hurt you when I broke up
with you, but that's beside the point
I think I might've lost my mind, I know its not inside these joints
You be the one to help me find it when I'm deep inside you
Look into your eyes, you say you love me, but I know you lied to me
And when I snuck you in my aunt's at late at night, you cried to me
All the weekends you left Sac', got in your car to drive to me
I didn't care about your past as long as you was right to me
Now I can't even get you to write to me
I'm caught up
I'm caught up
I'm caught up




I'm caught up
I'm caught up

Overall Meaning

In Caleborate's song, "Caught Up," the rapper delves into the complex emotions that he is experiencing. He starts the song off by mentioning his trip to Atlanta to visit his father, which has helped him see certain things differently, particularly the way he sees himself and the person he is addressing in the song. The rapper acknowledges that he has changed and grown, thanks in part to his newfound success, but he also realizes that money and fame are not enough to bring him inner peace. He admits that he has a lot of personal problems to work through, but he refuses to blame them on his father.


Caleborate then shifts the focus of the song to his ex-girlfriend, who is no longer responding to his messages. He confesses that he is still struggling with the breakup and that he misses her a lot. He recognizes that he hurt her when they broke up, but he also points out that he was going through a tough time and needed her support. He is frustrated that she seems to have moved on and is flaunting her new life on social media. He feels like he has lost his grip on reality and that his ex-girlfriend was the only one who could help him regain it.


Overall, "Caught Up" is a deeply personal and introspective song that showcases Caleborate's vulnerability and honesty. He doesn't try to hide his flaws or pretend that he has everything together; instead, he faces his problems head-on and expresses his emotions in a raw and unfiltered way.
