I Will
Mali Music Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Know you look good the way you did it
Lost my interest
Cared for you I did, now I get it
And now I'm trying to find a way to vent
But it really ain't the time or place, yeah
So I congratulate you love
God bless your marriage
If I could walk away
I will, if I can, yeah
It's surreal, why
Watching it all unfold, oh yeah
Didn't expect to be this close
Feels like a funeral
Walk away I will, if I can
(Ooh, ooh) Eh-eh if I can
(Ooh, ooh) Eh-eh if I can
Had to see it to believe it
So I could let the pain sink in
Never thought I'd be on the outside
Looking back over our lives
Never thought we would end like this
And now I'm trying to find a way to vent
But it really ain't the time or place, oh yeah
So I congratulate you love
I'm glad you found your love
And if I could walk away
I will, if I can, yeah
It's surreal, why
Watching it all unfold, oh yeah
Didn't expect to be this close
Feels like a funeral
Walk away I will, if I can
(Ooh, ooh) Eh-eh if I can
(Ooh, ooh) Eh-eh if I can
(Ooh, ooh) Eh-eh if I can
(Ooh, ooh) Eh-eh if I can
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
In Mali Music's song "I Will," the lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and resignation as the singer reflects on a failed relationship. The opening lines, "Look at that dress, Know you look good the way you did it, Lost my interest, Cared for you I did, now I get it," suggest that the singer is seeing their former partner in a new light and realizing that their interest has waned. They acknowledge that they once cared deeply for this person but now understand the reasons why the relationship didn't work out.
The chorus reflects the conflicting emotions the singer is experiencing. They express a desire to walk away from the situation, but the word "if" implies that they may not have the strength or ability to do so. The surreal feeling and the analogy of it feeling like a funeral highlight the magnitude of the emotional pain they are enduring. They never expected to be in this position, looking back at their past and realizing that their relationship has ended in such a painful way.
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with their emotions, acknowledging the hurt and disappointment while also wishing their ex-love well. The lyrics suggest that the singer has accepted the situation and is trying to find a way to cope and move on, even though it may not be easy.
Overall, "I Will" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of love, heartbreak, and acceptance.

So as I sit and listen to this song, it feel as if I'm there at the wedding as well lol. So basically he's (Mali's) there attending her (His Ex's) wedding, thoughts of the past surfaced, he's feeling both happy and devastated for her happiness, and if he was to exit the wedding everyone will know that he's still in love with her. Wooooowwww This man is just simply AMAZING and TALENTED.

Daviiin E By the way, I know his βexβ that he is referring to. They do share a child together as well. Youβll never really completely get over your first/ex. It can be tremendously difficult.

If you sing of love then you are singing of God. For as the scripture says "God is Love". If you sing of heartache, pain, disappointments, sadness, laughter, joy, happiness, success then you are still in line with God's will. For it is the will of the Father for us to not only have life but have life more abundantly. Stop putting "Christian" artists in a box. He can both make a worship album and a love album. As a writer, worshipper, singer, I do not desire to be cast into a religious box and given a set of rules to follow. I want to write about everything, so as long as it is uplifting and does not assault the character of my God. I love Mali and I am all for this transition. Let the gifts flow!
