Maggie
Cam Meekins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I fucking text with her she's acting like she's bored
It's probably cause I'm acting different than I usually do
That's just cause I'm not like other guys that's using you
To get the ass; man I get nervous when I think about her
(What's the deal?) Man I don't know, it's just something about her
The way she dresses, maybe it's her confidence
But I can't even get her over to my apartment (but I won't trip)
Let her know she could have everything that I have
It stinks, she don't understand it, she thinks I'm fucking cuties
I'm a musician, girl, I do it for the love, not the groupies
(Hold up, so what you're saying is you care about this girl?)
Yeah, yeah, I know I'm supposed to act tough, but I don't know
Fuck the fact that I haven't fully figured out my life
Before the fact that I ain't had a girlfriend that I care about with all my might
Man I could act tough, ignore her when she text me
But that ain't me, man, I don't like to flex, see
(Is she sexy?) she's like the greatest thing I've ever seen
I'd compliment her more, but I ain't tryna be obscene
This the girl I go to church with, the girl I think is worth it
She thinking about if me and her could ever work
It's kinda worthless, I guess, writing a song about my feelings
I'm too emotional, get overstressed about these things
But when we did hang out, I think she had a good time
Understand that people hurt her in the past, I can't lie
I wish I could let her know in person how I feel
I wish I knew her better cause I know this shit is real
Every day I get up, pray, thinking bout all the things to say
Well I hope she realize I'm here to stay
So Maggie, if you're listening, I'm sorry for my insecurities
It's cause you're beautiful, I hope that you can see
I wanna let you know I got feelings
I wanna take you out to get earrings
But I'm scared you don't think that I'm legit
I know you think I'll run away, but girl, I never quit
I wanna let you know I'm not fooling
I wanna hug you tight like my shoestrings
These fucking es aren't making any sense
Cause I'm always flusterated when or not to send a text
Ayo, sometimes I get it wrong, man
Sometimes I'm worried bout impressing you, Maggie
If you can hear the things I'm too nervous to text you
Maybe you would understand I'm tryna take it slow
There's no need to rush ourselves into a situation, yo
If the feelings are there, we gotta bunch of time to grow
I never want to make you feel uncomfortable and go
No matter what the situation physically or mentally
Or medically, I'll give you anything, a friend to me
You truly have been, so without a doubt
We ran around New York City and I made you smile
I took you to Times Square, we had our first kiss
But what you didn't know is that you're on my bucket list
I wanna let you know I got feelings
I wanna take you out to get earrings
But I'm scared you don't think that I'm legit
I know you think I'll run away, but girl, I never quit
I wanna let you know I'm not fooling
I wanna hug you tight like my shoestrings
These fucking es aren't making any sense
Cause I'm always flusterated whether or not we can have sex

The thing that makes Cam one of the best rappers out right now is that is flow and his beats are the new style of hip hop/rap but it also has some old school shit like Shwayze. And this song and Better days have the biggest impact on my life. I have talked to this girl for 4 years and we finally met and i messed it up soooo much and then i didn't know how to make everything better so i sent her this song and better days to verbalize my feelings. Thank you Cam. CMP All Day!
