Airdrop
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I sent my love, let me know if you get it
It's only tough 'cause they ain't show me affection
Only us, it was the only suggestion I gave
I take the rush, then I slowly regret it
You say it's up, well they know me for stretchin' and praise
Exchanging trust 'cause it showed me a lesson
I make the jump if it show me redemption and faith
I wait a bunch, I wait to fuck
What you sold me, looking less than I paid
They say with grudges how them lonely niggas rest in they grave
They change thе subject, how I'm supposed to respеct it?
You say you want me but you've known me for seconds, it's strange
My greatest hunch should be exposin' they weapon
My favorite buzz'll be the rope of reception or race
My face be numbin', so devoted and restless
My sacred mother, why I'm overprotective and safe
Be sayin' much, but it ain't sober discretion, it's laced
I sent my love, let me know if you get it
I'm blazed and probably drunk
Scared to open your message for days, I'm out of luck




I sent my love, let me know if you get it
I sent my love, let me know if you get it

Overall Meaning

In the song "Airdrop," Mike explores themes of love, trust, and communication in relationships. The opening line, "I sent my love, let me know if you get it," suggests a feeling of uncertainty and vulnerability - the singer has expressed their love, but they are unsure if it will be received or understood. The following lines further elucidate this feeling of doubt: "It's only tough 'cause they ain't show me affection / Only us, it was the only suggestion I gave." The singer seems to feel as though their expressions of affection have gone unnoticed or unreciprocated, and that they may have given too much too soon.


The chorus, "I sent my love, let me know if you get it," repeats throughout the song, further highlighting the theme of communication and the desire for validation that underlies the singer's words. The lines "Scared to open your message for days, I'm out of luck" suggest that the singer is waiting anxiously for a response, but fears that it may not be what they want.


The song's verses touch on other elements of the singer's emotional landscape, such as regret, self-doubt, and the fear of being hurt. Lines like "I take the rush, then I slowly regret it" and "My face be numbin', so devoted and restless" indicate a push-and-pull dynamic between the singer's desires and their emotional boundaries. Ultimately, "Airdrop" portrays a complex and vulnerable emotional landscape, one in which love, trust, and communication are often fraught and uncertain.
