Pour It Out
James and the Drifters Lyrics

I can't lie
I am unable to deceive or conceal the truth

I can't take this strain no more
I am unable to handle the pressure and stress any longer

But if I die
In the event of my death

She gon' hide
She will conceal herself

She gon' cry
She will shed tears

When it rains it pours
Difficulties or problems tend to arise all at once

And she gon' ride
And she will support or stand by my side

By my side
In close proximity to me

Baby, go and show 'em what you got in store
My dear, demonstrate your abilities and talents to others

And to my surprise, that's my demise
Contrary to my expectations, that is my downfall or destruction

Tell me what you find in me
Inform me of what qualities or attributes you discover in me

I can't focus with you bitches always lyin to me
I am unable to concentrate when you ladies are constantly deceiving me

I can't make out what you want or what you tryna be
I cannot comprehend your desires or intentions

First she infiltrate my base and now she riding me
Initially she gained access to my inner circle, and now she is controlling or manipulating me

Lately I been stayin so distant, distant
Recently I have been keeping my distance, both physically and emotionally

Call these other bitches no different
Consider these other women to be no unique or special

Pain was the cost for the friendship
Suffering was the price I had to pay for this relationship

And I can't sacrifice my fucking goals or ambitions
I am unwilling to give up my objectives or aspirations

I can't try
I am unable to attempt or make an effort

I can't try to fake no more
I cannot continue pretending or deceiving others

But still I rise
Yet, I continue to overcome challenges and prevail

Through the skies
Through the vast expanse above

Flashing lights I strike a pose
I confidently and boldly pose under the glare of intense attention

And I still pray
I continue to offer my prayers

Till this day
Until this present time

Niggas don't have no faith no more
Individuals lack belief or trust in others

And that's why I'm me
And that is the reason for my unique identity

And that's why you're you
And that is the reason for your unique identity

And that's why you niggas try to do what I do
And that is why you individuals attempt to emulate or imitate my actions

Born in a world with no clues
Born into a world without clear guidance or direction

You lookin for the money, I'm just lookin for the truth
While you are searching for material wealth, I am simply seeking honesty and authenticity

And nobody wanna listen, so I say it at the stu
And nobody is willing to listen, so I express my thoughts at the studio

I ain't askin for permission, this a option you can choose
I am not seeking approval, this is a choice you can make

But you losing
However, you are experiencing defeat or failure

$aber making noise, but you snoozin'
$aber is attracting attention, but you are oblivious or uninterested

Gave a bitch my heart but she bruised it
I entrusted a woman with my deepest emotions, but she hurt or damaged it

Tell the world to fucking back off 'fore I lose it
I command the world to step back and retreat before I lose control of my emotions

How many times I gotta jump for me to prove it
How many times must I take risks to demonstrate my abilities

Nuisance
A source of annoyance or irritation

Resisted the devil but she got it
I resisted the temptations or evils, but she succumbed to them

Doubt it
Expressing skepticism or disbelief

The devil is a lie and she probably
The temptations or evil forces are deceptive and she likely

Laying there feelin so lousy
Lying there experiencing feelings of sadness or misery

Drowning
Overwhelmed or suffocated by negative emotions

In her own feelins got her pouting
Engrossed in her own emotions, causing her to sulk or be sulky

Voices from the past scream and shouting
Past experiences or memories are clamoring and making their presence known

Outtin'
Escaping or leaving

She know she made mistakes, but she bout it
She is aware of her errors, but she is determined or committed

The nigga that she with ain't half of the man that I am but she don't understand
The man she is currently involved with is far inferior to me, yet she fails to comprehend this
