Following the relative success of this album, Simpson embarked on his first solo headlining tour, and began to record both the Brockhampton mixtape ALL-AMERICAN TRASH, and his second solo album, American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story. These projects drew the attention of the television channel VICELAND, spawning the creation of their television series American Boyband. The airing of the first episode of this series coincided with the release of the Brockhampton album SATURATION, leading to a trilogy of albums which would become the group's most successful endeavor to date. Brockhampton has since released three more albums: iridescence, GINGER, and ROADRUNNER: NEW LIGHT, NEW MACHINE; they also announced one final album slated for 2022. Simpson released his third album, ARIZONA BABY, in 2019 & his fourth album, Blanket, in 2023.
Rush
Kevin Abstract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our life could end
When I'm with ya
You don't need your friends
I fell in love with an angel
Don't nobody know
I think I might tell her
I fell in love with an angel
I think I might tell her
My baby don't tell me she love me when she in a rush
I'm with it, I'm in it until I'm falling out of love
The girl on this Earth see me all on my bad days
I'm down in the dirt give me my faith for a Sunday
When I see ya
Our life could end
When I'm in ya
I feel my world cave
I fell in love with an angel
She don't even know
I think I might tell her
I fell in love with a white girl
She don't even know
I think I might tell her
My baby don't tell me she love me when she in a rush
I'm with it, I'm in it until I'm falling out of love
The girl on this Earth see me all on my bad days
I'm down in the dirt give me my faith for a Sunday
And I see a light that shines so bright tonight
And I know that when I close my eyes you'll be gone
Bae why you be playing?
You think I'm running game, not even hearing what I'm saying
And that's damn near everything except what I need to
Talking to my boys and they suggest that I leave you
But, who the hell else am I gon text girl I need you
I love it when you dress up so sexy and see through
And yeah your body steady banging just like the beat do
How the hell I get so lucky when I said nice to meet you
My baby don't tell me she love me when she in a rush
I'm with it, I'm in it until I'm falling out of love
The girl on this Earth see me all on my bad days
I'm down in the dirt give me my faith for a Sunday
When I met you last night baby
Before you opened up your gap
I had respect for you lady
But now I take it all back
Cause you gave me all your pussy
And you even licked my balls
Leave your number on the cabinet
And I might give you a call
Cause I have never played a girl
The lyrics to Kevin Abstract's song Rush describe the feelings of falling in love with someone so deeply that it feels like life could end when you're with them. The first two lines of the chorus capture this sentiment perfectly - "When I see ya/Our life could end." This stark reality is juxtaposed with the idea that the person doesn't need anyone else when they're together - "When I'm with ya/You don't need your friends." These lines speak to the intensity of the connection between the two people.
The song then dives into the singer's internal struggle about whether or not to tell the person about their feelings. The line "I fell in love with an angel/Don't nobody know/I think I might tell her" highlights the fear and vulnerability that come with confessing one's love. However, the singer ultimately decides to take the risk and tell the person, as evidenced in the repetition of the lines "I fell in love with an angel/She don't even know/I think I might tell her."
The verses of the song touch on the complexities of the relationship. The singer's partner doesn't say "I love you" when they're in a rush, which could suggest that their feelings aren't as intense as the singer's. Despite this, the singer is fully committed to the relationship and will stay in it until they fall out of love. The line "I'm down in the dirt give me my faith for a Sunday" could be interpreted as a plea for some hope during tough times. The second verse also includes a reference to the singer's friends advising them to leave their partner, but the singer chooses to stay because they need the person in their life.
Overall, Rush is a deeply emotional and introspective song that explores the universal theme of falling in love and the risks and rewards that come with it.

When I see ya
Seeing you makes me realize how precious life is
Our life could end
Life is fragile and unpredictable
When I'm with ya
Being with you is enough, I don't need anyone else
You don't need your friends
I'll do whatever it takes to make you happy, even if it means keeping you away from your friends
I fell in love with an angel
You are a kind and loving person who brings light into my life
Don't nobody know
This love is a secret, nobody else knows how I feel
I think I might tell her
I am considering confessing my feelings to you
She don't even know
You are completely unaware of how much you mean to me
My baby don't tell me she love me when she in a rush
I don't want you to say you love me out of obligation, only say it when you truly mean it
I'm with it, I'm in it until I'm falling out of love
I am committed to this relationship but I'm aware that feelings can change
The girl on this Earth see me all on my bad days
You are the one who sticks with me through thick and thin, even on my worst days
I'm down in the dirt give me my faith for a Sunday
Faith and hope are what keep me going, especially on the tough days
When I'm in ya
Being intimate with you is a transformative experience
I feel my world cave
The intensity of my feelings for you can be overwhelming
I fell in love with a white girl
Your race doesn't matter to me, I love you for who you are
Bae why you be playing?
Why are you pretending not to notice how much I care about you?
You think I'm running game, not even hearing what I'm saying
You don't take my feelings seriously, and that hurts me
And that's damn near everything except what I need to
I'm pouring my heart out to you, but you're not listening
Talking to my boys and they suggest that I leave you
My friends think I deserve better than someone who doesn't appreciate me
But, who the hell else am I gon text girl I need you
Despite everything, I can't imagine my life without you
I love it when you dress up so sexy and see through
I appreciate your beauty and your confidence
And yeah your body steady banging just like the beat do
Your physical beauty is matched by your inner strength and resilience
How the hell I get so lucky when I said nice to meet you
I feel incredibly blessed to have crossed paths with you
When I met you last night baby
I was completely smitten with you from the moment we met
Before you opened up your gap
Before you spoke or revealed your personality
I had respect for you lady
I respected and admired you as a person
But now I take it all back
Your behavior has made me reconsider my initial impressions
Cause you gave me all your pussy
You have only shown me your physical side, without revealing your true self
And you even licked my balls
You have been superficially pleasing, but have not shown me true intimacy
Leave your number on the cabinet
You are just another temporary fling to me, not someone I will commit to
And I might give you a call
I don't have any real intention of following up
Cause I have never played a girl
I want to emphasize that I am not someone who plays games or leads people on
