Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I’m thankful who I became
I done been thru the sun
I done been thru the rain
Those who don’t know me
Be the first ones to judge me
Girls looking at me like
They just wanna fuck me
But this the fuckin’ dream tho
Why I Been working lately
Like I got a twin doe
I got stack of fuckin’ problems
That could use a steam roll
I got a lot up on my mind
So I just hold back
A lot of set backs
That fucked up my mental
If my life get cut short
Then it means
It wasn’t meant for y’all
Who gon’ catch me when I fall
Who gon’ be there after all
When it’s said and done
My angels might be late
My demons never sober
I smoke it all away
Come down and do it over
But you won’t hear me complain
I just carry the weight
All on my shoulders
I’ll wait on the day
I could say the wait is over
Yeah
Man I dropped out of school
Moms thinkin' I'm a fool
I ain’t understand it back then
But I understand it now
I was down in the dumps
With my confidence gone
But that’s the motivation
That helped me write this song
No matter the highs
No matter the lows
You gotta stay strong
Wanna make it now
But it’s taking too long
A lot on my plate
Got A lot on my mind
A lot of people here
Done wasted my time
Keeping it real
No I can’t fake it
Going thru change
Man I gotta embrace it
All these bitches here
Man they All basic
Reason that I’m single
Cause it’s complicated
My angels might be late
My demons never sober
I smoke it all away
Come down and do it over
But you won’t hear me complain
I just carry the weight
All on my shoulders
I’ll wait on the day
I could say the wait is over
Yeah
Never on time
My demons never sober
Come down and do it over
I just carry the weight
All in my shoulders
The wait is over
Yeah

Late that night I parked my car
Parking a car late at night.
Staked my place in the singles bar
Reserving a spot in a bar for single people.
Face to face, toe to toe
Standing very close to someone.
Heart to heart as we hit the floor
Having a deep and emotional connection as we start dancing.
Lumbered up limbo down
Moving awkwardly and slowly.
The locked embrace, stumble round
Holding someone tightly as we struggle to dance gracefully.
I say go, she says yes
I suggest something and she agrees.
Dim the lights you can guess the rest
Turning down the lights to imply that something intimate is about to happen.
Love is the drug, got hookin' me
Love is addictive and I am trapped in its grasp.
Love is, love is, love is the drug
Love is like a drug that makes us addicted.
