Silly
L.J. Reynolds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll act like I just already know (just already know )
Silly me I thought you'd love me oh (I thought you'd love me oh)
I should know better than think that though
Karma isn't cruel, isn't as cruel as I want her to be
I'll avenge myself (oh)
Took my innocence, more like a nightmare less of a dream
Baby I confessed I've
I thought I should let you know (you know)
And you said you don't care bout that but (bout that)
Baby that's your M.O. (M.O.)
Said you like the way I move (I move)
I leave just wanting more (more)
Said we should just turn the lights down oh no
Baby just grab me and kiss me slow
I'll act like I just already know
Silly me I thought you'd love me oh
I should know better than think that though
Darling why'd you tempt me oh
B-baby when you know
I wish I had
I wish I had
I wish that I had some self control
Baby you're so cruel, why be so cruel when you know I'm naive
Did you come from hell
I've seen many killers, dance in the darkness plotting and scheming
But you're a liar and that's worse so
I'll hunt you in the night(tonight)
It's only fair you answer(you'll answer)
Baby for all your sins(your sins)
K-karma's coming and ya (oh and ya)
Think you can run away when you don't stand a chance now
Or I could just forget and give one more trial
Baby just grab me and kiss me slow
I'll act like I don't already know
Silly me I thought you'd love me oh
I should know better than think that though
Darling why'd you tempt me oh
B-baby don't you know (d-don't you know)
I wish I had I wish I had (d-don't you know)
D-don't you know
I wish that I had some self control
Silly me I thought you'd love me oh
Silly me I thought you'd love me oh
Silly me I thought you'd love me oh
I should know better than think that though
The lyrics of L.J. Reynolds's song Silly seem to be a combination of braggadocio, threats, and contradictions. The main theme of the song is about talking silly and not talking silly. The lyrics assert that the singer and his group talk silly talk, but they want others to come with Lil Uzi talk. They don't do the Millie rock dance, but they go to get her shocked, and they Millie rock her black and blue like a blue Tootsie Pop. The lyrics are tough, and there is an emphasis on violence and dominance- the Glock 9 pulls up, the caps lock is locked on, and they have a kill switch.
The lyrics also mention "using a perc," which could refer to Percocet, a highly addictive pain reliever. However, the singer asserts that he hits no perc, and the threats are just for fun. The lyrics are contradictory, but they give a glimpse into the singer's mindset, which is aggressive, competitive, and focused on material success. The song could be interpreted as a commentary on hip-hop culture, which often glorifies violence and materialism.
