Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(No, No)
It's been a hell of a year since you haven't been here
Hurts like hell when I wipe my tears
Cause you the one who taught me how to show no fear
Shit ain't been the same cause you never appear
I feel so alone when I'm all in a crowd
You was always there to calm me down
It feels so unfair cause you never is around
I swear your absence is so damn loud
You being absent is so damn loud
Tell you what I've done and you would've been proud
Yo eyes would've rained would've thought it was a cloud
But never mind that cause we talking bout now
Talk about now I'm a big trend setter
Trust in the process it only get better
I beat all my issues I feel like may weather
But you the big issue that's staying forever
Didn't even know that you left a deep wound
Sad to say I'd rather be in a tomb
Gotta stay strong I made a promise to you
I'll meet the promise it'll never be past due
I'm true to myself
I'm Setting these goals that is making me wealth
Never again am I asking for help
They plotting on me ain't wishing me well
Oh No
I stay to myself cause these niggas is jokers
Ain't growing at all so it's keeping them lower
Invest in myself cause I got the right motor
My brothers supporting they right by my shoulder
By my shoulder till the day I die
Say it wit confidence I'm not gonna lie
Should've been you on my side
It's not in the plan so I'm not gonna try
It's been a hell of a year since you haven't been here
Hurts like hell when I'm wipe my tears
Cause you the one who taught me how to show no fear
Shit ain't been the same cause you never appear
I feel so alone when I'm all in a crowd
You was always there to calm me down
It feel so unfair cause you never is around
I swear your absence is so damn loud
It's been a hell of a year since you haven't been here
Hurts like hell when I'm wipe my tears
Cause you the one who taught me how to show no fear
Shit ain't been the same cause you never appear
I feel so alone when I'm all in a crowd
You was always there to calm me down
It feel so unfair cause you never is around
I swear your absence is so damn loud
Cause I don't
Know you anymore




So leave me alone
No No No No No
