Gone Girl
Nitty Scott MC Lyrics

Uh
Expression of hesitation before speaking

Just let it ride, let it ride
Let things be and don't intervene

This shit
Refers to the subject matter being discussed in the song

It sound like pain
She's discussing something painful

I can relate
She understands what is being discussed

Yo
Expression used to gain attention

Maybe it's the drugs
Possibility that drugs could be the reason for her actions/attitude

I'm giving you nigga shrugs
She's indifferent to the opinions of others, especially men

I'm unplugged, disconnected and bugged out
She's feeling isolated and mentally drained

I'm all hugged out
She's emotionally exhausted

And all I got is bars
All she has are her lyrics and music

All I got is scars
She has emotional and physical scars from her past experiences

But they just want to light cigars over slow guitar
She's being objectified and her music is being used for others' enjoyment

And watch me do the pole dance underneath the stars
She's being forced to perform in front of others

Hold up
Expression used for a pause and to gain attention

I'll take it back to learning to tie my laces
She's reflecting on her childhood

Familiar faces ran races in intimate places
She has memories of people close to her that she grew up with

And maybe one of those intimate paces
Possibility of a sexual experience that she didn't want

That move at fast paces and seek better spaces
The experience has caused her to seek a better place for herself

I was divorced in the family portrait, I know my limits
She's separated from her family and knows what she can handle

Step daddy trying get up in it, I ain't with it
She's being sexually harassed by her stepfather and doesn't want it

So I did it, bought a ticket and split it
She leaves home to find a better life for herself

Coach class, leave my pass on a one way
She's traveling alone on a one-way ticket

Had to take my life into my own hands some way
She has to take control of her own life and take risks

Hoping I can rise above it one day
She has hope for a better future

It wasn't easy like Sunday
Her journey wasn't easy

What you know about pain?
She's asking if anyone else can relate to her pain

The kind that leaves stains on your veins
Intense emotional pain that's hard to forget

I'll tell you why the cage bird sings
She'll explain why people express their pain and suffering (like a caged bird singing)

Think I'm going insane
She feels like she's losing her mind

Okay
Expression used to continue speaking

I stayed in school, tried to remain in a booth
She tried to stay focused on her education and music career

Cause it was just me
She felt alone

Four walls and the truth
All she had was her thoughts and reality

Put my dreams on hold for survival mode
She had to prioritize survival over her dreams

Cause the nights were long and the wind was cold
She faced many hardships in her life

Vultures of our culture praying on my young ambitions
She's referring to negative influences that tried to discourage her ambitions

Telling me schemes (Uh)
They were telling her to do things that were unethical or illegal

Selling me dreams (Uh)
They were giving her false hope

Push to the extremes 'till the hell of me screams
They wanted her to do something harmful or risky until it caused her extreme pain

I'm lost in mans [?] nothing's what it seems
She's feeling disconnected from reality

Nightly at the spot but I'm from your block (Uh)
She's frequently seen around her neighborhood but is still feeling isolated

Light as a rock and I'm locked if you knock
She feels weak and vulnerable

I'm patient but I'm anxious
She's waiting for her time but feels anxious about her future

See they're not the same thing
Patience and anxiety are not similar and don't complement each other

I just catch an overdose of adrenaline to my brain
She feels overwhelmed and anxious

Cold sweats, nausea, dizziness, chest pains
She's experiencing physical symptoms of anxiety

Automatic panic, frenetic in the fast lane
She's feeling overwhelmed and panicked in a stressful situation

This shit is odd and I'm looking to god for a nod
She's looking for guidance and direction from a higher power

I need a sign not another facade
She wants a clear message or sign, not something fake or false

But while I'm waiting and contemplating
While she's waiting for guidance and direction, she's reflecting on her life

I keep the weed burning
She smokes weed to cope with her stress and anxiety

Keep the page turning
She continues to write her music

Like a long sermon
Her music is like a message or a sermon to others

Got a curse for nervousness that's hitting the surface
She has a curse of being nervous that's surfacing in her life

Guess that all I'm trying to say is that I'm flawed but I'm working
She's imperfect but doing her best to improve herself and her life
