Her POV
Destorm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby take a sit here, how'd we even get here?
These lies eventually tire, and you promised me a good year
You telling' me I'm so bad, spitting that game all in my good ear
Claiming we gon' build something together huh? (IKEA)
In the beginning we were winning, I called you up and you'd be down
For whatever, whenever and now you never be around
Treat me like a polka dot cuz I'm spotting now
Used to text for the sex when my visitors in town, but now?
All we do is yell and fight and why I gotta touch myself at night
Got the nerve to come home smelling like, booty
Let me tell it right
(There ain't no other chick)
F*ck that b*tch and I ain't even the jealous type
Is that the same ho that you met on Skype?
Or down in Brooklawn with your friends that night?
Why am I so tight? I'm just real
But why you buying helmets if you ain't playing the field?

If I would have known then everything I know now
We'd be making up, sh*t be going down
We wouldn't even be arguing
Kill the arguments I see
Her point of view
Her point of view
Her point of view
Her point of view,
I see it
And we spend too much time complaining
And not enough time explaining
And now that I can see through your eyes when you cry
I can recognize your pain and point of view
Her point of view, I see it
Her point of view
Her point of view

Yo guess what?
Karen called I guess that was your hot date
And if you're innocent then why is your phone on vibrate
Rebecca said she saw your car in the parking lot at Friday's
I guess that would make you a smooth operator huh, Sade
So there's 10 guys with Benzes with the same custom rims
And the same f*ckin' tints shaded to 45 percent
That just happened to be on the block near the park
and the school that you went
But you left your Facebook open and told you dudes that you went
And I though this was something that we both cherished
And it's scary cuz I seen it going all the way to marriage
And that's just sad
How can I face friends without being embarrassed?
I know you cheating but I still can't find the courage
I'm repeating myself guess I'm the parrot
2 years and I'm still putting up wit your sh*t
Time for me to be the bird on some up and go sh*t

If I would have known then everything I know now
We'd be making up, sh*t be going down
We wouldn't even be arguing
Kill the arguments I see
Her point of view
Her point of view
Her point of view
Her point of view
I see it
And we spend too much time complaining
And not enough time explaining
And now that I can see through your eyes when you cry
I can recognize your pain and point of view
Her point of view, I see it
Her point of view
Her point of view

She said
If only I can be like you (if only I can be like you)
Only (I said) I can be like you (but you can)
Na na na na (you can), na na na na
She said (she said)
If only I can live my life like you
If only I can do the things you do
Come on girl (na na na na)




Give it a try (na na na na)
It'll be her POV

Excellent way to express the difficulties between lovers. Utilizing the same voice to express both points of view puts both genders on the same level. We don't have to be tricked into another state of mind by the sexual sounds of a female rap voice (although many female rappers are amazing), but instead can truly enjoy a story of respect for your significant other.

I Vhh

Mitchell Lecoultre deep shit,bro

Mikhail

Great song, DeStorm! And congratulations on your American Music Award! It's the kind of recognition you deserve! You should have asked them why it took so damn long. :)

DeStorm, I haven't followed you for long, but I've gone back and watched a ton of your work, and I cannot believe how far you have come along. Ethan is a great director, and it shows in this video. He has a great eye for wonderful angles and powerful points of view. You do wonderful music that really inspires people and you deserved that AMA you received this weekend. I hope you never lose that passion for music, and I hope you continue to create and fabricate music for years to come. Thank you!

I really like your newer videos! The "old" ones are good too, but in these newer ones the quality of the video and especially the audio has just stepped up big time! I'm still waiting the full length album :)

Definitely De's best in a while. It's hard to write good songs when you have to do them weekly.
