I Got You
Chillout 1P.M Lyrics

Hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you - hey sis I got you - hey sis
Reassurance to a loved one that the singer is there to support them.

I never understood the reason for hurting girls
The singer questions the logic behind causing harm to females.

When the only way that you got here is she brought you in this world
Acknowledgement that someone, likely a woman, gave birth to the perpetrator of the harm.

Ok, maybe she didn't - but someone did
Admission that the perpetrator may not have been born from a woman, but someone still brought them into existence.

And those tears you see - come from somebody's kid
The tears shed by the victim come from a person who is someone's child.

How can you justify robbing her of her innocence

Then every Sunday go to church and shout about deliverance
The perpetrator goes to church and participates in religious practices, yet still causes harm.

She's shivering - cause she knows the Mama's working late
The victim is trembling because she is aware that her mother is working late.

Cause lately those been the long nights she's grown to hate
The continuous occurrence of late nights has caused the victim to develop a dislike for them.

Too young to understand the things that you discuss

She's a victim of your lies - as you lie on top of her

Can't take the weight of a man

She can't breathe as she's wheezing

She's needing a reason for all this mistreating

Mama, was I really being that bad
The victim questions if she did something wrong to deserve the mistreatment she is receiving.

There's something I want to say - but I don't want you to get mad
The victim has something to confess to her mother but is afraid of the repercussions.

I promise I'll clean my room and I'll do better when in class
The victim makes a promise to do better in simple areas of her life.

Just please don't let the mean man back - I GOT YOU

I swear that things will never be the same

I'll never let that man put his hands on you again

And if you cry - he won't be the reason why
The victim will not cry because of the perpetrator's actions.

Tonight you can close your eyes - I GOT YOU
The victim can relax and trust that the artist will take care of her.

I see you Mama - I got you - I see you Mama - I got you - I see you Mama - I got you - I see you Mama
The singer acknowledges the struggles the victim's mother is facing and reassures her that they will support her.

Raising your hand and you striking her again
The perpetrator is physically attacking the victim once more.

Only reason that you can is cause you know you're not a man
The singer challenges the perpetrator's masculinity, suggesting that he is attacking women due to his own insecurity.

Look in her eyes - you can see that she's deprived
The victim is deprived of love and care from a man who should be providing that for her.

Of the love - of a man - that cares - for his wife

She wants to leave him - she's tired of the beatings
The victim's mother wants to leave the perpetrator and is tired of being physically attacked.

His words leave her with deep scars - but no one sees them

She prays to God - I know that I said I'd love him

But my daughter's acting strange and I don't know if I can trust him

And he keeps hitting my son - even after we both discussed it

And this makeup can't hide the fact that I got an abusive husband

Please Lord - I'm down on my knees
