Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea all in yo' stomach
Get the bag, Get the bread then I run it
Forty. Glock to his head now he running
(BOOM, BOOM BOOM)
Do somethin'
I don't know how you talk and you frontin'
Shorty wasted my time, she need loving
And you wonder how we got this far
Got this glock it's finna shoot at his car
Cause after all this time
I'm still into you
I ain't no regular
Don't hit my cellular
I just been fucking around
I ain't telling her
She finna take all my breesh, I ain't letting her
She going back to the streets, Don't remember her
And I thought that we had a connection
Matter fact lemme go on a mention
How we used to have history
Now you been dissin' me, so we gon handle the tension
And you wonder how we got this far
Got this glock it's finna shoot at his car
Cause after all this time
I'm still into you
In DFL JAY's song "BUTTERFLIES," the lyrics convey a sense of frustration and determination in love and personal growth. The first verse begins with the singer expressing their desire to move on from the emotions that used to give them butterflies. They want to focus on achieving financial success ("Get the bag, get the bread"), and they are willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish their goals, even resorting to violence if necessary ("Forty Glock to his head, now he running").
The singer acknowledges the deceptive behavior of someone they are interacting with, possibly an ex-partner or someone they were once close to. This person wastes their time and affection, and the singer feels they deserve more genuine love. The line "she need loving" suggests that this person disregarded the singer's affection and disregarded their emotional needs.
The second verse reveals the singer's refusal to conform to societal norms. They assert that they are not ordinary or easily accessible ("I ain't no regular, don't hit my cellular"). The singer admits to engaging in casual sexual relationships without disclosing their actions to the other person involved. They are wary of another person getting attached and affecting their life negatively.
The singer expresses disappointment and confusion over a broken connection or relationship. They once believed that there was a strong bond between them and this person. They mention a shared history and intimate past, indicating that their relationship held significance. However, the person has since been disrespectful towards the singer, leading to tension in their dynamic.
Despite the trials and challenges they face, the singer admits that their feelings for the other person have not diminished. The line "Cause after all this time, I'm still into you" suggests a lingering attachment and emotional investment in this individual, despite the conflicts and difficulties they have experienced together. It highlights the complexity of their emotions and the contradictions within their relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
I should be over all the Butterflies
I should have moved on from the excitement and nervousness that come with love
Yea all in yo' stomach
Yes, the feeling of butterflies is concentrated in your stomach
Get the bag, Get the bread then I run it
Acquire money and success, then take control and excel at it
Forty. Glock to his head now he running
Threatening someone with a firearm forces them to flee
(BOOM, BOOM BOOM)
Imitating the sound of gunshots for emphasis
Do somethin'
Take action or prove your worth
I don't know how you talk and you frontin'
I can't comprehend why you're speaking deceptively
Shorty wasted my time, she need loving
The girl I was involved with was a disappointment, craving affection
Finna get to the bag ain't no running
Determined to obtain wealth, won't be stopped
And you wonder how we got this far
You're curious about our journey to this point
Got this glock it's finna shoot at his car
I possess a firearm prepared to fire on his vehicle
Cause after all this time
Because even with the passage of time
I'm still into you
I still have lingering feelings and attraction towards you
I ain't no regular
I'm not an ordinary person
Don't hit my cellular
Do not contact me via phone
I just been fucking around
I've been engaging in casual sexual relationships
I ain't telling her
I'm not revealing this information to her
She finna take all my breesh, I ain't letting her
She's attempting to drain me of my energy and resources, but I won't allow it
She going back to the streets, Don't remember her
She is returning to her previous lifestyle, and I want to erase her from my memory
And I thought that we had a connection
I believed we shared a strong bond
Matter fact lemme go on a mention
In fact, let me express
How we used to have history
The past experiences we shared together
Now you been dissin' me, so we gon handle the tension
Now you've been disrespecting me, and we will confront and resolve the conflict
