So What
Dante & Amigo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Buried deep in the business
I can't tell what the hell life is
But i'm runnin til the finish line
So tear my page as a reminder
That everything we achieve may be thrown back to the fire to burn
And never to return,
Until the day that we are meant to leave this earth
But i'm destined to win with every single verse though
What do I gotta prove to ya
What do I have to fuckin say
Why do I gotta move witcha
That's all I got for today yo
(I ain't got no time for this shit)
Can’t say I didn’t have fun tho
The change of things between us came faster than the wind blow
And you came way faster than this tempo
God you know it when you let some more skin show
Heaven and hell I know we always been through
Stuck in limbo everything goes out the window
So now you say “we just friends” - Jamie Palomino
Shit, you make me wanna smoke a pack of cigarillos
Plus I been downing bottles after bottles like a dipso
Been tryna find the reason why you dipped so
The mess you left it hurts just like I stubbed my fuckin big toe
Been staring at you right outside your window
Now you know I bet you wish I didn’t know ya zipcode
Ha I’m just playing, it’s whatever Al Jarreau cos the masquerade is over
So guess I’m never gon be sober so I dust off my shoulders
Man I’m off this roller coaster
What do I gotta prove to ya
What do I have to fuckin say
Why do I gotta move witcha
Yo bitch take a picture
Cos I got nothing to prove to ya
I got nothing left to say
And I got nothing to move with ya
This all we got for today

I'm not the first to admit this
I am acknowledging that I am not the first person to be open about this
Buried deep in the business
In the midst of all the chaos and obligations
I can't tell what the hell life is
I am unable to comprehend the meaning of life
But i'm runnin til the finish line
Nevertheless, I am determined to keep pushing forward until the end
So tear my page as a reminder
Consider this action as a symbolic reminder
That everything we achieve may be thrown back to the fire to burn
Any accomplishment we attain can be easily destroyed and lost
And never to return,
Without the possibility of being recovered
Until the day that we are meant to leave this earth
Only when our time on earth comes to an end
Dust in the wind as we were at first
Just like how we were insignificant in the beginning
But i'm destined to win with every single verse though
However, I am confident in my ability to succeed with my every word
What do I gotta prove to ya
Why do I need to demonstrate anything to you
What do I have to fuckin say
What words do I have to forcefully express
Why do I gotta move witcha
Why do I have to comply with your expectations
That's all I got for today yo
Those are the only thoughts I have for today
(I ain't got no time for this shit)
(I do not have any time for this situation)
Can’t say I didn’t have fun tho
I cannot deny that I had enjoyment
The change of things between us came faster than the wind blow
The transition in our relationship occurred rapidly
And you came way faster than this tempo
You appeared in my life unexpectedly
God you know it when you let some more skin show
You can feel the vulnerability when you expose more of yourself
Heaven and hell I know we always been through
We have constantly experienced moments of both extreme happiness and utter despair
Stuck in limbo everything goes out the window
Trapped in a state of uncertainty, where nothing remains stable
So now you say “we just friends” - Jamie Palomino
And now you claim that we are only friends
Shit, you make me wanna smoke a pack of cigarillos
You have such an effect on me that I am compelled to engage in self-destructive habits
Plus I been downing bottles after bottles like a dipso
Furthermore, I have been consuming alcohol excessively like a compulsive drinker
Been tryna find the reason why you dipped so
I have been attempting to discover the cause of your sudden departure
The mess you left it hurts just like I stubbed my fuckin big toe
The emotional wreckage you left behind is as painful as stubbing my toe
Been staring at you right outside your window
I have been observing you from outside your window
Now you know I bet you wish I didn’t know ya zipcode
Now you realize that you probably wish I didn't know your address
Ha I’m just playing, it’s whatever Al Jarreau cos the masquerade is over
Haha, I am just joking. It doesn't matter anymore, just like in Al Jarreau's song, the charade is ended
So guess I’m never gon be sober so I dust off my shoulders
So I suppose I will never be free from intoxication, therefore I brush off my shoulders
Man I’m off this roller coaster
I am no longer part of this unpredictable and tumultuous ride
Yo bitch take a picture
Hey, take a photo, my dear
Cos I got nothing to prove to ya
Because I have no need to demonstrate anything to you
I got nothing left to say
There are no more words left for me to express
And I got nothing to move with ya
Furthermore, I have no desire or intention to go along with you
This all we got for today
This is everything we have for today
