Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Aye, aye)
She gave me the run around, she gave me the run around
She gave me the run around
You gave me the run around
I hate when you give me the run around
Rain make me sad, I told God to keep the sun aroundThey want to do us bad, my bro gotta keep a gun around
She gave me the run around, yeah
(Aye, aye)
Bae lets stick to the point, can you quiet all the noise
Am I really your choice, the one that fit the void
You and me could rule the world, but baby its yours anyway
Girl I know sometimes you just want to run away
Don't remind me what I said, I ain't mean it that way
Lose you, hate you, blame you,
Girl, I can't replace you
Baby lately things seem
Like my nightmare is your daydream
Why you gotta do me like that
What you got to prove to me like that
When you hit the ground baby I am right there
You know I'm goin for the crown girl I can't fight fair
1942 Spillin' on my white Nike Airs
Baby there's a strange feeling in the air
Look up we're surrounded by smoke in mirrors
Cus love's not clear, and love's not fair
But I'd rather be loved by you than be feared
But if not I can make like an eagle
Translation, baby I'll fly away
I hate when you give me the run around
Rain make me sad, I told God to keep the sun around
They want to do us bad, my bro gotta keep a gun around
You gave me the run around, yeah
(Aye, aye)
You want to know the truth, girl I don't need you
I'ma pop up with another one it won't be you
And whether or not, you're there to see it through
I'ma rub it in every chance I get to do it
My wounds run deep baby, I don't wanna prove that to you
You gave me the run around
I hate when you give me the run around
Rain make me sad, I told God to keep the sun around
They want to do us bad, my bro gotta keep a gun around
Run up wrong, get gunned down
My only weapon is the way my tongue sounds
Shots ring out, you better duck down
Do she love me, do she not
I'm in love with that sound
Lose you, hate you, blame you
Girl I can replace you
Baby lately things seem
Like my nightmare is your daydream

She gave me the run around, aye
She misled me, causing confusion
You gave me the run around
You deceived me, causing frustration
Bae lets stick to the point, can you quiet all the noise
Let's focus on the important matters and eliminate distractions
Am I really your choice, the one that fit the void
Do you truly see me as the one who completes you
Girl I know sometimes you just want to run away
I understand that you desire to escape at times
Look up we're surrounded by smoke in mirrors
Our situation is clouded by deception and illusion
But if not I can make like an eagle
If necessary, I will soar away like an eagle
You want to know the truth, girl I don't need you
I no longer require you in my life
My wounds run deep baby, I don't wanna prove that to you
I have endured great pain, but I don't need to demonstrate it to you
Run up wrong, get gunned down
Make a mistake and face the consequences
Shots ring out, you better duck down
Gunfire erupts, take cover to protect yourself
Like my nightmare is your daydream
What terrifies me is what brings delight to you
