Hi-Lo Lyrics

Emotions shifted
The dynamics of relationships have changed, causing changes in the emotions of individuals

See this the reason why I'm umm, solitaire summer
Being alone during summer became a situation that allowed introspection

Solitaire Summer you know
Alone and reflective during the summer months

This one of the reasons why right here you know
The changing dynamics of relationships is one reason for being alone during summertime

Stay to yourself you can't really go through the shit
Sometimes it is best to be alone during difficult times because others cannot truly understand your struggles

But listen to me
However, sometimes it is helpful to listen to the perspective of others

Acting fake to family, but oh, it's for your mental health
Sometimes it may feel necessary to hide true feelings from loved ones for the sake of one's mental health

Could've talked about it but you, chose to distance yourself
There was an opportunity to discuss problems, but instead, isolation from loved ones was chosen

You ain't have to dip like that bro, we could've fixed your problems
It was unnecessary to cut off loved ones as they could have helped resolve problems

Why the fuck you think I called you family, man these niggas wildin'
The use of the term 'family' implies a deep sense of loyalty, which was not reciprocated by the isolated individual

I get offended if I feel you can't depend on me
Not feeling depended on by a loved one is hurtful and can cause offense

If I'm not dependable, then that just says a lot about me
If one is not dependable, it reflects negatively on their character

Obviously, we both go through problems, but I stay in touch
Both individuals go through struggles, but one chose to stay connected while the other isolated themselves

Guess I just deal with my problems better, I see how you cut
The connected individual manages problems better and notices the negative effects of isolation

Kept my dollars in rotation, it's no good in the bank
Money is only useful when it is being spent or circulated, not when it is stagnant in a bank account

Up the rank, aim to be the shark in the biggest tank
The goal is to be at the top of the food chain, despite the challenges that come with it

You got discouraged off they IG story, you lost faith in the glory
Discouragement from social media posts caused one to lose hope and interest in the 'glory' of life

And people like you bore me
Those who constantly complain and wallow in their negative experiences are uninteresting and unhelpful

Talking bout what they was going through, nigga stop it
Constantly discussing and focusing on one's struggles can become tiresome and unproductive

You act like you the only one going though fucking problems
Individuals may feel like their problems are unique and no one else can relate, but this is not necessarily true

Isolation from the family during battle says a ton
Choosing to be alone during difficult times sends a message about the importance of relationships

Then they try to ease they way back in once the battle won
Once the difficult times are over, loved ones may try to reconnect but it may not be as easy as before

Coming up slow, but it's worth the glow
Progress may be slow, but the eventual outcome is rewarding

I be passing go, treating life just like monopoly
Approaching life in a way similar to a game of Monopoly, moving forward towards goals

Scarcity on love, everyone's a thug
There seems to be a lack of love and empathy in society, causing individuals to act harshly

You had time to explain, it's too late to try and talk to me
There was a chance to communicate, but it may be too late for reconciliation

Things in space had shifted, everybody acting weird
Something has caused a shift in relationships or dynamics, resulting in unusual behaviors from everyone

Now, everyone intentions are suddenly unclear
The motives of individuals are now uncertain or unclear

Snap of a finger, everybody distant friends
Relationships can change quickly, resulting in people becoming distant friends

We reached the point where women don't wanna fuck with no man
Male behavior may have led to women distancing themselves from men

Niggas emotional cuz they don't got the upper hand
Men may struggle with emotional situations because they are used to having control or power

Iffy attitudes make you not wanna shake no hands
Negative attitudes make it difficult to connect or form friendships with others

Cellphone on silent, you don't want to be disturbed
Avoiding contact or engagement with others by silencing one's phone

They ghosting everybody that you love, you on the verge
Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally unstable due to everyone abandoning or avoiding those you care about

Use to be your lover, now they not even caring
Someone who was once a romantic partner is now distant or apathetic

You call, but they don't answer, that shit will have you embarrassed
Attempting to reach out to someone who is not responsive can lead to feelings of embarrassment or rejection

That's yo life and you chose to live it
Ultimately, one is responsible for their own life and the decisions they make

It's not scarcity on love, just a scarcity on folks willing to give it
There may not be a lack of love in society, but rather a lack of individuals willing to share it

So love is unlimited, human nature from the start
Love is an inextinguishable human emotion that has been a part of human nature from the beginning

But you let folks who don't matter to you take the love out yo heart
Allowing unimportant individuals to affect one's ability to love or connect with others

The next person suffer from you past trauma
Past experiences or trauma can negatively impact future relationships or interactions

A gateway to unnecessary drama
Unresolved past trauma can lead to additional conflict or issues in one's life
