E-SENSUAL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And when you dead and you gone, that's when they say they miss you
I can't pick up my phone, I'd rather grab the pencil
And you can hear it in my tone this shit come off the mental
Why is it when they want a check from you, yeah that's when they check for you
Shawty just want sex from me, she don't want the best for me
Talking to my dawg and he asking me what's next for me
This life shit can get raw, won't be settling for less homie
Ain't no regrets on me
If you talking shit then say it with your chest homie
I stay true you won't never have to guess on me
And if I step then you know them niggas step for me real shit
And you know they'll hit the kill switch, swerving
Pull up in that all black Suburban
And you know we moving with a purpose
Niggas outside and they lurking for certain
If you my family then I got you till the death
I work with what I got, I play the cards that I was dealt
I give it all I got, I swear I work till nothing left
Till my name up on the shelf
They say they love you when it's beneficial
And when you dead and you gone, that's when they say they miss you
I can't pick up my phone, I'd rather grab the pencil
And you can hear it in my tone this shit come off the mental
Why is it when they want a check from you, yeah that's when they check for you
Shawty just want sex from me, she don't want the best for me
Talking to my dawg and he asking me what's next for me
This life shit can get raw, won't be settling for less homie
I'll never settle for less
I'm trynna be the best
You got to grind, it ain't no way to finesse
It's too many trynna take your dreams away
They falling victim to that jealousy and I know it though
Imma pray for em'
Through the day for em'
If my brother say he need me then I'm straight to em'
Cause we been through the same things so I relate to em'
Heater on my side so you know I stay warm
I had some shawty's who done lied to my face
I had some homies who done told me they wouldn't change
I had some family who threw dirt up on my name
But in the end, the only way you heal is pain
They say they love you when it's beneficial
And when you dead and you gone, that's when they say they miss you
I can't pick up my phone, I'd rather grab the pencil
And you can hear it in my tone this shit come off the mental
Why is it when they want a check from you, yeah that's when they check for you
Shawty just want sex from me, she don't want the best for me
Talking to my dawg and he asking me what's next for me
This life shit can get raw, won't be settling for less homie
The lyrics of E-SENSUAL's song "Check Me Out" explore themes of betrayal, insincerity, and the struggle to find genuine connections in a world where people often have ulterior motives. The opening lines, "They say they love you when it's beneficial / And when you're dead and gone, that's when they say they miss you," highlight the opportunistic nature of relationships. It suggests that some people only show affection and support when it benefits them, but fail to appreciate or acknowledge the person's worth until they are no longer around.
The artist expresses his frustration and disappointment through the line, "I can't pick up my phone, I'd rather grab the pencil," implying that he uses writing as an outlet to express his emotions and thoughts. He emphasizes that his lyrics are authentic and come from a genuine place, stating, "And you can hear it in my tone, this shit comes off the mental." This line suggests that his music is a true reflection of his experiences and emotions.
The chorus questions the hypocrisy of people who only show interest in someone when they need something from them. It also touches on the superficial nature of relationships, with the line, "Shawty just want sex from me, she don't want the best for me." The artist further explores the challenges he faces in his personal and professional life, sharing conversations with his friend about what lies ahead and refusing to settle for anything less than what he deserves.

I experienced relatives who tarnished my reputation
But in the end, the only way you heal is pain
Ultimately, pain becomes the catalyst for personal growth and healing
