Whoa
Whoa, whoa

You runnin' 'round drinkin' liquor
Takin' pictures 'cause you miss me
(I know you miss me)
You runnin' 'round drinkin' liquor
Fuckin' niggas 'cause you miss me
(You just want attention)
You can sleep with half the world
Bet you still won't forget me
(On God)
You could find love, get married, have kids
I'd still be realest nigga to hit it
(Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up)
I was gettin' some head earlier and you crossed my mind (straight up)
I'm as solid as they come, but you crossed the line (21)
Yeah, you been stopped keepin' it real, I can see the signs (on God)
When it came to havin' your back, I'm so real
I prolly would've gave you my spine (straight up)
I'd rather have loyalty than love
'Cause love really don't mean jack (straight up)
See love is just a feeling
You can love somebody and still stab them in the back (on God)
It don't take much to love
You can love somebody just by being attached (21)
See loyalty is a action
You can love or hate me and still have my back (facts)

I gave you my all (my all)
You was my dawg (you was my dawg)
I would have went to war with the world on your call (on your call)
Thought you had my back (nah)
You let me fall (let me fall)
You healed my pain (my pain)
Then you caused it (then you caused it)
Now I gotta ball without you (straight up)
Now I gotta ball (straight up)
Now I gotta ball without you (21)
Now I gotta ball (21)
Now I gotta ball without you (ball)
Now I gotta ball (now I gotta ball)
Now I gotta ball without you (21)
Now I gotta ball (21, 21)

You crossed me once, it's fuck you forever (straight up)
Middle school got my heart broke, stop writin' love letters (21)
Heart cold, yeah, so cold had to buy the Moncler sweater (on God)
Valentines day, she ripped the card and urinated on the rose petals (damn)
You was my rock, heavy metal
Now you ain't shit to me (facts)
I thought it was love, until I woke up
And had an epiphany (21)
Keep the fame and keep the love
Just give me the loyalty (on God)
Nefertiti, King Tut
I treat you like royalty (fact)

I just wish your love wouldn't fade away
Even when the smoke clear, I'm here to stay
Don't you ever let a nigga take my place
Would you be around if I had minimum wage?

I gave you my all (my all)
You was my dawg (you was my dawg)
I would have went to war with the world on your call (on your call)
Thought you had my back (nah)
You let me fall (let me fall)
You healed my pain (my pain)
Then you caused it (then you caused it)
Now I gotta ball without you (straight up)
Now I gotta ball (straight up)
Now I gotta ball without you (21)
Now I gotta ball (21)
Now I gotta ball without you (ball)
Now I gotta ball (now I gotta ball)




Now I gotta ball without you (21)
Now I gotta ball (21, 21)

Overall Meaning

The song "W" by Cardi B featuring 21 Savage is about a past relationship where the two individuals involved were not able to move on from each other despite their differences. The lyrics describe the female protagonist drinking and taking pictures to fill the void left by her ex-boyfriend. The male protagonist, on the other hand, reflects on his loyalty towards his ex-girlfriend and how she let him down in the end. He emphasizes his preference of loyalty over love because love can be fleeting while loyalty is a true action.


In the second verse, 21 Savage reveals his heartbreak from a past relationship where he was once deeply in love but eventually realized that, above all, he deserved loyalty. He compares his former lover to Nefertiti and King Tut, stating that he would have treated her like royalty if she had only been loyal.


The message of this song ultimately emphasizes the importance of loyalty in relationships above all else. Even when love fades, the loyalty is what ultimately remains.

Caroline Adesuyi Jesus is the way. proverbs - The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the Lord.

for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord weigheth the spirits.

3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.

4 The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

5 Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord: though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.

6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

7 When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right.

9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

10 A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.

11 A just weight and balance are the Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.

12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.


14 The wrath of a king is as messengers of death: but a wise man will pacify it.

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.

18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

24 Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
