Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's rough
I know you see so many things
That mess you up
And I know I'm learning
I know I'm young
But when the shit gon' hit the fan
I'll be the one
Oh, I'll take care, take care of you
Oh, I'll take care, take care of you
And I'll do the things that no one else will do
Yeah, all of the things that no one else will do
Like take care of you, oh, oh
Take care of you, ooh
Oh, if you told me
That you were down
I'd slay the beast
And make your darkness turn around
And I know it's scary
