Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What up?
Shit, just chillin' here with Merkules
Oh aight, what up?
What's good homie?
Ayy, you remember I was tellin' you about that girl the other day?
I was just telling him the same shit
Nah, what you talking about?
What? I don't know, I don't know where to start
Yo, Grotesque
Hey what up, Corbett
Let's get it
Aight
She thinks that I'm tellin' her lies
And I know that she don't believe
One day, we're doin' just fine
And the next day she wanna leave
And I can't take one more fight
Yo, this ain't how it's supposed to be
And she can't take one more night
On a road to these hopeless dreams
She mad 'cause I'm about to do a show again
The cars loaded then
Gettin' jealous 'cause these groupies always showing them
Affection towards my music and their obsession for it
What I do, is gotta second guessing these attention whores
And more than that, I can't finish the sentence
Nor I cannot get through the door with no fuckin' questions
Lord, I feel the intention's sword
This girls nuts, she think I'm about to fuck all these sluts I never met before
This whole time I been paying shit no mind
I'm so blind, feels like every one I know died
My cold rhymes are battle cries like Roll Tide
Control time and keep my eyes on the goal line
Meanwhile she tells me not to focus much
Knowin' damn well that I do it for the both of us
I put my heart in every track that I open up
And it's kinda bogus that we closest when we broken up
She thinks that I'm tellin' her lies
And I know that she don't believe
One day, we're doin' just fine
And the next day she wanna leave
And I can't take one more fight
Yo, this ain't how it's supposed to be
And she can't take one more night
On a road to these hopeless dreams
There was a chick I put my life on the line for
Beautiful black hair and her height was like 5'4
Her smile was nice more than you wild, one night whore
Problem was, she would get all violent when I tour
Acting as if I wasn't trustworthy
And all I do is drive, perform, go to sleep and get up early
I'm knowing that groupies a blood thirsty
And she did too, she thought I was cheating, that's what the fuck hurts me
That year had a painful summer
When I finally arrived back home, the bitch had changed her number
'Til this day this shit remains a bummer
I think and wonder why would she do that to someone who would aim to love her?
I don't know, that's just how chicks act
So through my successes, how I'll get back
I don't like talking about this crap, I get emotional and shit
And my stomach starts hurting, man, I hope I don't get sick
Yo
She thinks that I'm tellin' her lies
And I know that she don't believe
One day, we're doin' just fine
And the next day she wanna leave
And I can't take one more fight
Yo, this ain't how it's supposed to be
And she can't take one more night
On a road to these hopeless dreams
It was a blessing, no question that we fell in love
And now she's acting like I played her and I set her up
I know I haven't been home much, and I bet it's tough
But you keep acting like I'm someone you could never trust
I let her cuss and brush it off like it didn't happen
It's crazy what a chick'll do to you to get reactions
Second guessing me and calling me a liar
I been wit' you since my name was at the bottom of the flyer
So keep it up, and you could get what you ask for
I didn't do shit now, now you think I'm an asshole
Who raps, gets paid, sip liquors, and tag toes
Well that shit's played, so just quit it and have hope
All my fans online think she's using me
What can I say, this shit is not the way it used to be
And as stupid as a human, I need room to breathe
Usually I lose it, but it something that she do to me
She thinks that I'm tellin' her lies
And I know that she don't believe
One day, we're doin' just fine
And the next day she wanna leave
And I can't take one more fight
Yo, this ain't how it's supposed to be
And she can't take one more night

Line by Line Meaning
She thinks that I'm tellin' her lies
She believes I'm lying to her
And I know that she don't believe
I am aware that she does not trust me
One day, we're doin' just fine
At times, our relationship seems to be going well
And the next day she wanna leave
Suddenly, she wants to end the relationship
And I can't take one more fight
I am tired of arguing
Yo, this ain't how it's supposed to be
Our relationship is not supposed to be like this
And she can't take one more night
She cannot bear another night
On a road to these hopeless dreams
This is leading to a dead end
She mad 'cause I'm about to do a show again
She is angry that I have to perform again
The cars loaded then
The vehicle is ready to go
Gettin' jealous 'cause these groupies always showing them
She is envious of the attention I receive from fans
Affection towards my music and their obsession for it
Fans are passionate about my music
What I do, is gotta second guessing these attention whores
My actions cause her to doubt the loyalty of fans
And more than that, I can't finish the sentence
I cannot articulate my thoughts further
Nor I cannot get through the door with no fuckin' questions
I cannot leave without being interrogated
Lord, I feel the intention's sword
I sense the hostility in her attitude
This girls nuts, she think I'm about to fuck all these sluts I never met before
She is paranoid that I will cheat on her with fans
This whole time I been paying shit no mind
I have been ignoring her accusations
I'm so blind, feels like every one I know died
I feel isolated and alone
My cold rhymes are battle cries like Roll Tide
My lyrics express my emotional struggles
Control time and keep my eyes on the goal line
I need to stay focused on my career
Meanwhile she tells me not to focus much
She discourages me from pursuing my career
Knowin' damn well that I do it for the both of us
She is aware that my music benefits both of us financially
I put my heart in every track that I open up
I pour my emotions into my music
And it's kinda bogus that we closest when we broken up
It is ironic that we have the best moments when we are not together
There was a chick I put my life on the line for
I risked my life for a woman
Beautiful black hair and her height was like 5'4
She was physically attractive
Her smile was nice more than you wild, one night whore
She had a charming smile
Problem was, she would get all violent when I tour
She became aggressive when I was on tour
Acting as if I wasn't trustworthy
She doubted my loyalty
And all I do is drive, perform, go to sleep and get up early
My schedule is hectic and leaves little room for infidelity
I'm knowing that groupies a blood thirsty
I am aware that female fans are often desperate for attention
And she did too, she thought I was cheating, that's what the fuck hurts me
She also suspected me of infidelity, and it hurt my feelings
That year had a painful summer
That summer was emotionally difficult
When I finally arrived back home, the bitch had changed her number
When I returned home, she had blocked my phone number
'Til this day this shit remains a bummer
It still upsets me to this day
I think and wonder why would she do that to someone who would aim to love her?
I wonder why she would hurt someone who loved her
I don't know, that's just how chicks act
I do not have an answer, this is just typical female behavior
So through my successes, how I'll get back
I will find a way to move on from this heartbreak, despite my achievements
I don't like talking about this crap, I get emotional and shit
This is a sensitive topic for me and I become emotional when discussing it
And my stomach starts hurting, man, I hope I don't get sick
This situation makes me physically ill
It was a blessing, no question that we fell in love
Our relationship was a blessing
And now she's acting like I played her and I set her up
She accuses me of deceiving her
I know I haven't been home much, and I bet it's tough
I am aware that my hectic schedule has impacted our relationship
But you keep acting like I'm someone you could never trust
You refuse to trust me
I let her cuss and brush it off like it didn't happen
I ignore her insults
It's crazy what a chick'll do to you to get reactions
Women can be manipulative in order to get a rise out of men
Second guessing me and calling me a liar
She frequently accuses me of lying
I been wit' you since my name was at the bottom of the flyer
I have been with her since the beginning of my career
So keep it up, and you could get what you ask for
If she continues her behavior, she may end up alone
I didn't do shit now, now you think I'm an asshole
I have done nothing wrong, yet she still paints me as the villain
Who raps, gets paid, sip liquors, and tag toes
She sees my career as glamorous and easy
Well that shit's played, so just quit it and have hope
That is a tired and overused stereotype, try to be optimistic
All my fans online think she's using me
My fans suspect that she is taking advantage of me
What can I say, this shit is not the way it used to be
Our relationship has changed
And as stupid as a human, I need room to breathe
I need space to think and breathe
Usually I lose it, but it something that she do to me
She has a way of getting under my skin
