Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She paid for her own nails, lashes & extensions
She ont care bout ya bag dawg she independent
Wasted time in the past, fake love befriended
Love to hustle with some class workin on her business
Love to twerk in the mirror, love to flex her inches
All the niggas that don curved her watching from the benches
She don felt pain and left it in the trenches
She understands nothings given gotta get it
She ont want a man she just wanna count the pension
In her purse is some blue hunnits she ont mention
She can see thru the fake bitches thirst quenchin
Well aware she's unique she aint tryna blend in
Got some drafts in her phone that she’s never sendin
When she felt all alone, no-one was a witness
People called her out her name like they wasn’t switchin
Fuck em all if they cant comprehend ya vision
Its okay girl I see you…
Yea I see you…

& even if they hating on the low,
Scrolling down ya page like they own
Trust me they gon really fake it till you gone
But just Kno i see you..
Yea I see you

Closet full of designer, but she love her sweat suits
Everyday she on a timer, trust me she ont sweat you
She ont care bout ya street cred or what yo bread do
Got her own plus some standards that you gotta step to
On her body is some skin gettin kissed by the sun
She just wanna eat with the friends who bought her lunch
She just want a man she can spoil on the run
She just want a mansion filled with her day 1s
No fun, you can miss her if it ain’t about the funds
All her clubbin days dead she don left it for the young
She remembers being dumb for niggas flexing all they crumbs
Always Tryna do the most
She just wanna drive the boat
She just tryna stay afloat
In a world where these men takin women as a joke
In a world where these men turning women to a ghost
In a world where ya friends be the 1 to hurt you most
Staying gold is in her soul
These the stories never told
But I understand that I see you
You kno I see you

& even if they hating on the low,
Scrolling down ya page like they own
Trust me they gon really fake it till you gone
But just Kno i see you..
Yea I see you

Uncle moping round the house got her mama stressed out
Shit aint never been the same since her father stepped out
She can never heal the pain feeling like a step child
All the jits making noise, back nd forth breakin toys
So she step outside just to get a breath of fresh air
She ont go around the corner she don seen death there
Tryna keep the hope alive life gettin less fair
Grandma fighting cancer everyday got less hair
Seems like the strong women really gotta suffer
If he ain’t a real man, he cant get her #
She’ll be dammed if some sex comes before her comfort
She’ll be dammed if a check makes her forget the hunger
Such a queen man I see you…
& she aint bout letting life try to take her under..
Im rootin for you girl I see you

& even if they hating on the low,
Scrolling down ya page like they own
Trust me they gon really fake it till you gone




But just Kno i see you..
Yea I see you

Overall Meaning

In Jade's song "I Gave You," the lyrics tell the story of a strong and independent woman who has overcome various challenges and is determined to thrive in life. The first verse highlights her self-reliance and financial independence, as she pays for her own luxurious beauty treatments and focuses on building her own business. She has learned from past experiences and no longer tolerates fake love and wasted time. She takes pride in her appearance and is aware that those who have rejected her in the past are now watching from the sidelines. This woman understands that she needs to work hard to achieve her goals and doesn't desire a man solely for financial security. She carries money in her purse without feeling the need to brag about it. She can see through the façades of fake people and embraces her uniqueness, refusing to blend in with the crowd. The verse concludes by suggesting that she keeps her true feelings to herself, even when feeling alone and misunderstood.


The chorus emphasizes the presence of haters and detractors who may pretend to support her but secretly harbor jealousy and resentment. These people may act friendly to her face but scroll through her social media platforms with ill intentions. However, the singer assures her that he sees her true strength and resilience.


The second verse delves deeper into the woman's character, revealing her love for comfort and simplicity rather than excessive luxury. Though she may have expensive designer clothes, she prefers the comfort of sweat suits. She isn't interested in a man's street credibility or wealth, but rather his ability to meet her standards. The lyrics also highlight her physical beauty, with her skin kissed by the sun. She values the friendships that have supported her, rather than seeking superficial experiences. The verse concludes by reflecting on the inequality and mistreatment that women face in society, where men often take them for granted or even degrade them. Despite these challenges, the woman remains resilient, preserving her integrity and understanding of self-worth.


The third verse introduces more personal challenges in the woman's life. Her uncle's struggles have added stress to her mother's life, and her father's absence has taken a toll on her family. Feeling like a stepchild and witnessing the chaos caused by her younger siblings, she seeks solace outside the house. The lyrics suggest that she has seen death and experienced the harsh realities of life. Despite these hardships, she refuses to lose hope and maintains her determination to overcome. The verse acknowledges the suffering endured by strong women, and emphasizes that a man must be genuine and prove himself before earning her attention. She prioritizes her comfort and well-being over fleeting pleasures and material success. The lyrics end by recognizing the woman as a strong and resilient queen, cheering for her as she faces the challenges that life throws her way.
