Find You Again
Kevin Gates Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know everyday you grow, everyday you changin'
And I never tried to change on you but it's just like
I had to do it by myself for so long to where
When you come back in my life it just don't feel right like
Feel like somethin's missin'
And you feel like, you just feel different
So you gotta forgive me if I act strange with you
This is a burden that none of us want
The judge broke us up when I went back to court
Sentenced the time and it tore us apart
Beautiful creature, I know what you are
Prayed no one else get control of your heart
I hold it down, I was built for this part
Been away too long
I no longer know who you are
But I'll find you again, I'll find you again, love
I'll find you again, I'll find you again, love
I'll find you again, I'll find you again
I'll find you again, love, I'll find you again
All I knew was run it up and try to stack, stay focused
One day you'll be up to bat and I'm on it
Fingernails, tryna scrape
With the safety pin break it down to crack, whoever want it
Movin' reckless wit' the gat, I protect the pack
I be stayin' strapped, niggas tryna jack, bitches tryna trap
Maybe it's perhaps, I be in the trap
And I got them racks near, stroked up, we keep it on her lap
You know how I'm comin', fall in the pen, I dive in your shit
I'm one in a million, I'm standin' on ten
Hit your bitch from the back, I supply her with dick
She was a virgin when she was with him
Showed her somethin', fuck everyone else
Ma, I can't give you the world but I can give you myself
If you be disloyal, our love on the shelf
You are now just a notch on the belt
Guess I'll find someone else but I don't got time for no one else
Grind hard, Glendale, bein' chauffeured
Panoramic roof, in here we smokin'
Legal pistol anybody approachin' (boom)
In your name in case we get pulled over (woo, woo)
This is a burden that none of us want
The judge broke us up when I went back to court
Sentenced the time and it tore us apart
Beautiful creature, I know what you are
Prayed no one else get control of your heart
I hold it down, I was built for this part
Been away too long
I no longer know who you are
But I'll find you again, I'll find you again, love
I'll find you again, I'll find you again, love
I'll find you again, I'll find you again
I'll find you again, love, I'll find you again
We was all utterly rejected
We went from nothin' to somethin' together
People like what the fuck you see in her?
To you they like what the fuck you see in him?
Why you love him? You shouldn't trust him
He's a fuck up, so disgustin' and your family's sayin' fuck me
I'm successful and now they love me
Marble Slab, our first kiss
Recollectin' the night that you told me you need me
Told Tyra, "Baby gimme the keys"
Put a dick on my hip on the highway, I'm speedin'
Just had a argument, you was too busy
I would get upset whenever you would leave me (don't leave me)
Joe changed form, got 'em tatted on my arm
Felt so alone and it wasn't easy
Late nights, grandmother house
Talkin' takin' over the world together
Helped me through my insecurities
Sayin' you was gonna be my world forever
I comforted you through the death of our child
Had our first girl together
Our love is a fire inside and it's gon' burn forever
This is a burden that none of us want
The judge broke us up when I went back to court
Sentenced the time and it tore us apart
Beautiful creature, I know what you are
Prayed no one else get control of your heart
I hold it down, I was built for this part
Been away too long
I no longer know who you are
But I'll find you again, I'll find you again, love
I'll find you again, I'll find you again, love
I'll find you again, I'll find you again
I'll find you again, love, I'll find you again
You know your mama from out the Nine
You what I'm sayin?
My grandma from out the Nine
All my cousins and shit from out the Nine you know?
Uh, I'm sayin' like, um, this this how this 'sposed to go
This ain't no, you know
This how this 'sposed to go ya heard?
Totin' my hustle all in the Ninth Ward
I'm really retarded, yeah
Nigga, I'm really retarded, yeah
That bitch platinum
In Kevin Gates's song "Find You Again," he talks about feeling disconnected from someone he was once very close to. He admits that he's changed over time and has had to go through many things alone, which has made it hard for him to adjust to having this person back in his life. He asks for forgiveness if he seems distant, but he knows that what they used to have is missing now. The song is about lost love and the realization that sometimes it's impossible to get back what was once had.

@bakedxdangles1017
I used to always listen to this song all the time
when i was going out BAD on drugs and going through alot in my life
in this time i met my wife
I thank her everyday for changing me for the better
she helped me conquer my inner demons and addictions
she helped me through the toughest time in my life
without her i probably would have ended my life no joke
i would wake up everyday with no purpose
and it would kill me everyday but im glad i saw it through to the other side
