Set It Off
K-Tee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never said loving me was easy
Thought that you would need me
Never tried to read me
Pushed away a feeling
Showed me you was sleazy
I never said loving me was painless
Thought that you could take this
But now you out here
Running round with bitches
That ain't even on the same shit

Now I'm hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself I would sulk it
But the pain I've been feeling can't Control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the
People who've been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely so they prying
Y'all gone make me set it off

Gave you my heart
Ain't know the cost
Played a good game
But I lost
Referee help me
Get me out his sheets
This man I cant read
But he can read me
Ooo

Why didn't anybody warn me
Too on too strong he implored me
I was married to the money
He divorced me
Didn't have force me
That's what's alarming
This ain't a freestyle
More like a free trial
Needed your ears
To feel the truth in every fake smile
Ain't acting like a bitch
Ain't brought this shit upon herself
But I ain't even see the wealth
Of being happy by myself

So now I'm sitting still
Paying for cheap thrills
Simply trying to heal
While you're
Running after hoes
Saying no one knows
Your insides are broke
Now I'm

Hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself
I wouldn't sulk it
But the pain I've been feeling
Can't control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the people
Who've been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely so they prying
Y'all gone make me set it off

Now I'm showing you the cost
All this damage that you've dealt
Only showed me you're a fraud
Used to think you were a boss
But the truth just showed you thought
From the streets
Yeah not at all
See you croaking like a frog
Oooo

Pushed your line straight to the dime
Had me wasting all my love
And all my time
Made me think it was crime
Family thought I lost my mind
Caught me praying to a shrine
Asking God for a sign

Asking God for a sign
I ain't lose my mind
Needed a moment to rewind
Looking back I could have stopped it
I could have popped it
I should have shot shit
But I ain't toxic
So I got locked in
With someone popping
And ain't no stopping
I hope you watching
Need a new topic
Cause you a lost kid
Wishing you logic
All in Gods timing

Hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself
I wouldn't sulk it
But the pain I been feeling
Can't control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the people
Who been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely
So they prying
Y'all gone make me set it off

Hunting, running
Looking for the culprit
And I promised myself
I wouldn't sulk it
But the pain I've been feeling
Can't control it
Baby got me
Crying, hiding
Running from the people
Who been trying
To take the place of you
But they be lying
See me on my lonely




So they prying
Now just watch me set it off

Witnessing you struggling like a frog

Made me squander all my affection


And all my time
And all my time


Made me think it was crime
Caused me to believe it was a punishable act


Family thought I lost my mind
My family believed I had gone insane


Caught me praying to a shrine
Caught me praying at a sacred place


Asking God for a sign
Requesting a sign from God


I ain't lose my mind
I did not lose my sanity


Needed a moment to rewind
I required a moment to go back in time


Looking back I could have stopped it
Reflecting, I could have prevented it


I could have popped it
I could have intervened


I should have shot shit
I should have taken action


But I ain't toxic
But I am not harmful


So I got locked in
So I became trapped


With someone popping
With someone popular


And ain't no stopping
And there is no halting


I hope you watching
I hope you are observing


Need a new topic
Require a different subject


Cause you a lost kid
Because you are a confused individual


Wishing you logic
Wishing for rationality


All in Gods timing
All in accordance with God's timing


Now just watch me set it off
Now simply observe me initiate actions
