Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And ain't got a crib for you to pull up and stay
She gonna be like nah nah nigga no way
That's why I keep my heart locked up in it's safe
I'm terrified I can't stay here
But I tried to leave I tried the drink
And tried the weed but I can't shake your high off me
It's amazing our weird ass sex amazing
I said i'm scared baby no i'm terrified
Because the last time I let someone drive
I put her in my cockpit she had it but she lost it
Control was what she's missing she'll take dick when she want it
I thought you were an angel but this selfish bitch a devil
I hope this explain why i can't commit to you
But girl if you need help when i'm in town
Just call my phone up i'll be around
To lay you down don't make a sound

I nutted then felt different about it
Fuck a hoe and wish them well
Show you the door baby I been cruel lately
But you'll be alright you got a new mercedes
But i'm sure going to miss the attention you gave me
I've been craving something like you
I've been craving something like truth
But don't think it's worth hunting
Fucking from nothing to something
There's always discussion
You slipping but i'm the one that's trippin
All up in your damn business
Bitch get the fuck out of my face
You in my personal space
I put her in my cockpit she had it but she lost it
Control was what she's missing she'll take dick when she want it
I thought you were an angel but this selfish bitch a devil
I hope this explain why i can't commit to you
But girl if you need help when i'm in town

Forget the sex forget that text
Forgot your ex forget those nights
Forget the fights whoa whoa whoa yeah
If you need help when i'm in town
Just call my phone up i'll be around
To lay you down don't make a sound
Do you feel me now yeah do you feel me now
In the song "COCKPIT" by Jabu Graybeal, the lyrics depict a complex and conflicted relationship. The singer is expressing their insecurities about their financial situation and their fear that their partner might not love them if they were financially struggling ("Would you still love me if I had minimum wage? And ain't got a crib for you to pull up and stay"). This fear is so strong that they keep their emotions locked up for protection ("That's why I keep my heart locked up in its safe"). The singer admits to being terrified and unable to stay in the current situation, but attempts to find solace in substances like alcohol and drugs to escape their emotional turmoil ("But I tried to leave, I tried the drink and tried the weed but I can't shake your high off me").
The lyrics also touch upon the complexity of their sexual relationship and the difficulties caused by the physical distance between them ("It's amazing our weird ass sex amazing, but our distance complicated"). Despite the complications, the singer expresses hope that they will eventually try to save their relationship one day. The singer refers to a past failed relationship, where they gave someone control over their emotions and ended up hurt as a result ("I put her in my cockpit she had it but she lost it, control was what she's missing").
The singer acknowledges their inability to commit to their current partner due to their past experiences and fears, referring to them as a devil in contrast to their initial perception of them as an angel ("I thought you were an angel but this selfish bitch a devil"). Despite this, they assure their partner that they are available for support when they are in town, indicating a sense of care and concern ("But girl if you need help when I'm in town, just call my phone up, I'll be around, to lay you down don't make a sound, do you feel me now?").
In the final section of the song, the singer contemplates the potential negative effects of the relationship on their mental health and questions whether it is worth pursuing something that may lead to more pain and complications ("Maybe this ain't good for my health, I thought I was protecting myself"). They acknowledge their desires for something genuine and truthful, but also question the worthiness of pursuing such a connection ("I've been craving something like you, I've been craving something like truth, but don't think it's worth hunting, fucking from nothing to something").
Overall, "COCKPIT" delves into the complexities of a troubled relationship, highlighting the singer's fears, insecurities, and conflicting emotions. It explores the challenges of trust, commitment, and the impacts of past experiences on future relationships.
