I Need a Girl
M.TRAZ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sit down close my eyes and listen to that melody
And when I open my eyes, Jesus is next to me
I'm praying to you Lord and asking for some quiet time
I don't know what to do and ask you to give me a sign
I'm not the perfect guy, I mess up all the time
And pray that you build me into something greater
And it will change my life for the better
He told me
Always call me when you're falling down
Have faith in me and you're life will turn around
Jesus is all I need
I'm in a lot of pain and stress, I need to meditate
I cannot carry all this weight, it's hard to demonstrate
But when I say the word, Jesus is by the gate
My God is the most high and his story will soon be told
He loves and cares about you and he has a hand to hold
He is the saviour, thank you for being bold
He said that he'll look after me and my family
And he has something special soon for all the world to see
And it will change our lives forever (and ever)
He told me
Always call me when you're falling down
Have faith in me and you're life will turn around
Jesus is all I need
I have a million things to do I find it hard to breathe
I sit down close my eyes and listen to that melody
And when I open my eyes, Jesus is next to me
He told me
Always call me when you're falling down
Have faith in me and you're life will turn around
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need oh
He told me
Don't let your hearts be troubled and know
That I am with you always, spread the word, go
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need
Jesus is all I need

Line by Line Meaning
I'm going anyway
I will ignore any hesitation and proceed regardless
I don't care if it's a red light
Traffic signals will not dictate my actions
I took one too many
I consumed an excessive amount of drugs or alcohol
Now I cannot feel my face
The effects of the substance use have resulted in numbness or detachment
Shadow getting heavy
A sense of anxiety or depression is looming over me
I think that I need a break
I recognize that I need time off to recuperate or reflect
Don't know where I've been lately yeah (Going MIA)
I am unsure of my whereabouts or actions because I have been avoiding responsibilities and communication
Seventeen with a dream to get rich by myself yeah
At the age of seventeen, I had aspirations of achieving financial success without outside help
Trappin' out the basement hardly worrying bout my health yeah
I was conducting illicit activities from the safety of my basement, putting my physical and mental health at risk
These hoes they say the love you but will switch up for some clout
Women claim to have genuine feelings for me but will betray me for fame or attention
And I do too many drugs people say that I need help
I am abusing substances to a concerning degree and others have expressed concern for my well-being
But I've been livin' well
Despite the issues mentioned, I have been relatively content with my life
Ferragamo on my belt buckle
I am able to afford luxury items such as a designer belt
Coolin' by myself you know that I stay one up on 'em
I prefer to be alone and independent, keeping myself elevated above others
Don't tell me you love me girl until I can tell
I do not want to hear empty declarations of love and need to feel a genuine emotional connection before accepting it
And I know that you think that I ain't bein' fair
I understand that my actions may seem unjust or inconsiderate
But you is just my ex girl I don't even care
Since we are no longer in a relationship, your opinions and feelings are not a priority for me
But you know Imma miss all of the memories we share
I will still feel emotionally attached to the shared experiences we had
You know I hate the lies thats why I'm getting high
I use substances to escape from the pain caused by deception and betrayal
I'm barely getting by suicide been on my mind
I am struggling to cope and have had thoughts of suicide
I've been stressing too much
My stress levels have been overwhelming
I think I need a break
I require a period of rest or renewal to alleviate my stress
I've been tested too much
I have been facing an excessive amount of challenges
I think I need some space
I desire emotional and physical distance from others
I loved you and I fucked you
We had a physical relationship that included emotional connection
Now I just drink and get baked
I use alcohol and drugs as coping mechanisms
You fucked with my brain
Your actions had an adverse impact on my mental health
And changed my life
Your influence had a lasting and dramatic impact on my life
I don't know if I can love again
The emotional trauma I experienced may have permanently affected my ability to love or trust
Late night thinkin' bout her
I cannot stop thinking about her, especially at night
Bottled up all of my pain
I am repressing my emotions and not expressing my pain
And it drives me insane
My inability to confront my pain and emotions is negatively affecting my mental state
Getting your love must be a boss level
Receiving your affection seems to be a challenging accomplishment
My life's just a game
I view my life as if it were a trivial game to be played
And I don't wanna live
I feel that the emotional pain is not worth enduring and I wish to end my life
If Imma live my life in pain
If my life is destined to be fraught with emotional suffering, I do not want to continue existing
Don't know where I've been lately yeah (Going MIA)
Once again, I am unsure of my whereabouts or actions and have been avoiding responsibilities and communication
