Apprehension
Masetti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart locked up in a cage and we say it's for protection
I've been cutting off people I don't think have good intentions
Cause it's so hard when I'm in the heart of it and I feel the tension
But we cannot change a thing with all this apprehension

I got a plan now
If you ain't adding to my life than put your hand down
There's too many of us looking for a hand out
I understand now I don't take it to heart, no
I just got to, restart and go
Cause everyone I, love and know
Wants the best for me it shows, yeah
I get so caught up in the vacant part of my brain
I tend to ruminate on things I know I can't change

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart locked up in a cage and we say it's for protection
I've been cutting off people I don't think have good intentions
Cause it's so hard when I'm in the heart of it and I feel the tension
But we cannot change a thing with all this apprehension

I know you're scared of moving forward
The thought of pushing along is slicing you to the core
But I'm not holding the sword
It's up to you to resort
To anything in your power
The ball is all in your court
Learning lessons that I needed
Like moments where I was cheated
From everything I believed in
All suddenly was deleted I fought back
But it isn't a warning it's all a blessing
The more that I overcome the less I feel the depression
Attention was what I thought that I needed but isn't that
It's self love reminders of courage from times past
I climb past the darkness and try to live in the sun
Spent years in my head it's time to be overrun, let's go

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart locked up in a cage and we say it's for protection
I've been cutting off people I don't think have good intentions
Cause it's so hard when I'm in the heart of it and I feel the tension
But we cannot change a thing with all this apprehension

It ain't a problem
Nothing ever is if we got one we gotta solve em
People talking negative suddenly playin possom
They calling Masetti the don so never cross him
Came up in a town where I clown outside of Boston
Pull up like it's 'king of the ring' and then I toss em
Over the shoulder cause what's a rock to a boulder
I'm only filling my folder while getting gracefully older
I dont boast much get a soul rush when i bust down
Feelings fade away so i never needed to trust wow
Funny how here I'm here fading from the spotlight
They said I'd have apprehension they were not right

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart locked up in a cage and we say it's for protection
I've been cutting off people I don't think have good intentions




Cause it's so hard when I'm in the heart of it and I feel the tension
But we cannot change a thing with all this apprehension

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Masetti's song "Apprehension" explore the theme of fear and self-protection in relationships and personal growth. The first verse delves into the tendency to close off our hearts and keep them locked up in a cage as a means of protection. Masetti acknowledges that he has been cutting off people who he believes have negative intentions, but he also recognizes the difficulty of navigating relationships when tension arises. Despite this, he suggests that living in a state of apprehension does not lead to any positive change.


In the second verse, Masetti introduces a plan for his own personal growth. He expresses the idea that he only wants people in his life who add value and contribute positively, dismissing those who seek to benefit from his generosity without reciprocating. He emphasizes the need to restart and move forward, while acknowledging that those who truly love and know him want the best for him. Here, the artist highlights the tendency to dwell on things that cannot be changed, ruminating on the past rather than focusing on personal growth.


The third verse addresses the fear of progressing and taking control of one's own life. Masetti encourages listeners to take charge and make choices that align with their own goals and desires. He shares his own experiences of betrayal and disappointment, emphasizing that these setbacks can ultimately be blessings in disguise. Overcoming obstacles and focusing on self-love and courage can help alleviate depression and move toward a more fulfilling life. The artist uses the metaphor of climbing past darkness and living in the sunlight, symbolizing the journey from introspection to a more outward-focused state of being.


The final verse showcases Masetti's confidence and resilience. He dismisses negativity and asserts his own capabilities, proclaiming himself "the don." His pride in his accomplishments and ability to handle challenges is evident as he references his hometown and his dedication to his craft. The lyrics suggest that Masetti is unbothered by the opinions of others and is focused on personal growth, filling his metaphorical folder with accomplishments. He challenges the apprehensions that others may have had about his success, indicating that he has moved past the spotlight and onto new endeavors.


Overall, "Apprehension" is a song that explores themes of personal growth, self-protection, and overcoming fear. Masetti encourages listeners to let go of negative relationships and limiting beliefs, focusing instead on self-love, courage, and personal development.

Masetti Apprehension Lyrics

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart
Locked up in a cage and
We say its for protection
I've been cutting off
People i dont think have
Good intentions
Cause its so hard
When im in the heart of it and i feel the tension but
We cannot change a thing with
All this Apprehension

I got a plan now
If you aint adding to my life
Then put your hand down
Its too many of us looking for a hand out
I understand now
I dont take to heart no
I just gotta restart and go
Cause everyone I love and know
Wants the best for me and shows
Yeah
I get too caught up in the vacant
Part of my brain
I tend to ruminate on things
I know i can't change

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart
Locked up in a cage and
We say its for protection
I've been cutting off
People i dont think have

When im in the heart of it and i feel the tension but
We cannot change a thing with
All this Apprehension

I know you're scared of moving forward
The thought of pushing along
Is slicing you to the core but
Im not holding the sword
Its up to you to resort
To anything in your power
The ball is all in your court
Learning lessons that I needed
Like moments where I was cheated
From everything I believed in
Now suddenly was deleted
I fought back but it isnt a warning
Its all a blessing
The more that I overcome
The less I feel the depression
The tension was what I thought
That i needed but
It isn't that
Its self love from minus the courage from times past
I climb past the darkness and
Try to live in the sun
Spent years in my head
Its time to be overrun

We all know neglection

So never cross em
Came up in the town
Where i clown outside of Boston
Pull up like its king of the ring and
Then I toss em
Over the shoulder cuz
Whats a rock to a boulder
I'm only filling my folder
While getting gracefully older
I dont boast much
Get a soul rush
When i bust now
Feelings fade away so I never needed to trust wow
Funny how here I am
Fading from the spotlight
They said I'd have some Apprehension
They were not right

We all know neglection
Keeping our heart
Locked up in a cage and
We say its for protection
I've been cutting off
People i dont think have
Good intentions
Cause its so hard
When im in the heart of it and i feel the tension but
We cannot change a thing with
All this Apprehension
