Diggy Simmons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I'm be going through things can't explain it
You gave me a picture of you and I framed it, yeah
And all my niggas be playing they claim it
Let me go vent
You need to feel this straight out the chest
I'll be on tour buses dealing with mess
Sometimes I feel like I'm less than my best
Yes, and honestly the road can get cold
Sometimes I need something I could hold
What I'm really tryin'a say is
Sometimes I need you, honestly
I ain't talking 24/7
Just when a nigga start itchin'
And only when I want to feel better
I need you, honestly
Sometimes I need you
And I can't lie honestly, I need you
Don't need all your time
Just the times that I need it
Do you a favor, do me now we even
Your girlfriends be saying I'm doing it wrong
But they come to see me perform
Wait for it, so addicted to your love
Know you feel the same
You left traces of your love on the pillow case
Don't be going through my phone
You respect the game
Trying to live life without you, girl I swear it's lame
Sometimes I need you, honestly
I ain't talking 24/7
Just when a nigga start itchin'
And only when I want to feel better
I need you, honestly
Sometimes I need you
And I can't lie honestly, I need you
I need to match what I needed
To match what I already am that's a hunnit
Ain't looking for trouble I'm on another level
Keep up with your boy if you coming
I need a girl that be running
Running her own life 'cause she own it
Can't tell her nothing she grown up
She got a good job, graduated last summer
She do not need me, she want it
Got her own money
No handout she adds to the tab
I know why y'all niggas mad
She tells when y'all tryin'a holla
We sit back and laugh about it
She crazy that's why I love her that's my baby
We ain't gotta do nothing
We can chill around the house
And still feel amaze
Sometimes I need you, honestly
I ain't talking 24/7
Just when a nigga start itchin'
And only when I want to feel better
I need you, honestly
Sometimes I need you
And I can't lie honestly, I need you
The lyrics of Diggy Simmons's song Honestly describe the ups and downs of being a famous musician and the need for someone to rely on. The first two lines highlight how life can be stressful in the entertainment industry, and sometimes it is difficult to explain the challenges faced. However, the lyrics further convey that there is someone special in Diggy's life who has been supportive, and he has even framed a picture of them together. This person seems to make him a better person and helps him deal with the mess that comes with the industry, making him feel less stressed and restless.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of this person in his life, and how he needs them during specific moments when he feels down or needs to feel better. He does not need them 24/7, but only when he starts itching and feels a sense of unrest. The lyrics suggest that this person is a stabilizing force for him, and he cannot imagine life without them.
The second half of the song talks about the kind of woman Diggy wants in his life. He wants someone independent and strong, who has her own life and is not dependent on him. He appreciates the fact that this woman adds to the tab and does not expect handouts from anyone. Finally, the lyrics highlight how Diggy and this woman share a deep bond and are happy doing nothing but being in each other's company.

AcidicG3ntleman
+Littleblackgirl Exactly. Even though I like Chris Brown's version of this song better, I don't think most people realized how Diggy kept it very respectful in this song, I really liked the lyrics @2:00-2:37.
