Uhh uhh
Ohh ohhh ohh ohhhh
Thinking about you day and night feel like downing a bottle
Thinking about you day and night feel like downing a bottle
And forever ain't forever that's the hardest pill to swallow
Doin what I want it's yolo swear that's been the motto
And it's some niggas hatin on me guess getting money is a problem
You wasn't rocking with me you came back someone replaced your seat
Heavy on that loyalty you niggas can't relate to me
I started to look at love different to me its make believe
Took a little dose of your love
In full regret when I read it, it said won't be here for too long
I got trust issues with people that's why we don't get along
Why you niggas tryna copy me start calling you my clones
Like ohh oh oh ohh oh
Im tryna go ohh ohh ohh oh
Go somewhere far away cause love don't live here anymore
No I can't live in fear anymore
Guess I'm in danger girl I'm falling for your love again
I know some niggas I can never put no trust up in
Now they attracted hear me ringing now they calling in
I know they wishing for a young nigga to fall again
Grinding day and night I want a new life
Dreaming day and night about a new life
Im tryna move right
Grinding day and night I want a new life
Dreaming day and night about a new life
Im tryna move right
Thinking about you day and night feel like downing a bottle
And forever ain't forever that's the hardest pill to swallow
Doin what I want it's yolo swear that's been the motto
And it's some niggas hating on me guess getting money is a problem
Speeding past you niggas I say peace but don't you wave to me
You wasn't rocking with me you came back someone replaced your seat
Heavy on that loyalty you niggas can't relate to me
I started to look at love different to me its make believe
The lyrics to O.L.D.F.I.X.'s song "Make Believe" are about a woman who has been deceived and lied to by her partner. The rap at the beginning acknowledges how difficult it can be to believe that someone you love has been unfaithful. However, the rest of the song goes on to describe the various ways the woman's partner was unfaithful and how she has since realized that their love was just make-believe.
The first verse describes how the woman caught her partner cheating and how she felt foolish for not seeing it sooner. The build-up to the chorus reveals that she has been struggling to move on from this betrayal but knows that she cannot stay with someone who does not respect her. The hook is a repeated refrain that emphasizes this point - the woman needs to be with a man who respects her and her previous partner's love was just make-believe.
The second verse reveals more instances of the partner's infidelity - he had been lying about where he was and who he was with. The breakdown is a message to her partner that he should have known better than to try to deceive her and that he is not worth her time. The chorus is repeated twice to emphasize the point that the woman has moved on and will not tolerate being lied to again.
Overall, "Make Believe" is a song about the pain of being betrayed by someone you love and the strength it takes to move on and find someone who respects and loves you in the way you deserve.
Line by Line Meaning
I know it's hard to believe it
I am aware that it may be difficult for you to accept what I am about to say
What were you thinking
What was going through your mind when you made those choices
Everything you thought was gone for wrong reasons
The beliefs and justifications you held were misguided and incorrect
Wasn't strong enough to resist temptation
You lacked the willpower to avoid doing what you knew was wrong
Shouldn't play round with imagination
It is unwise to indulge in unrealistic or fanciful ideas
Sometimes love is blind it could cause deception
Feelings of affection can cloud your judgment and lead to dishonesty
No wonder nowadays you gotta have protection
It is not surprising that people need to be cautious and safeguard themselves
So playa give it up I've had enough to see
Stop trying to deceive me, I am not fooled anymore
That all your love for my girls was just make believe
Your affection for the women in my life was merely an illusion
First time that I caught you slippen
The initial instance in which I caught you being unfaithful
I thought that my eyes were trippen
I believed that my vision was distorted or mistaken
I was a fool
I was foolish for trusting you and ignoring the warning signs
Next time when you try to play me
If you attempt to deceive or manipulate me again
Caught you tryin to hide your hickies
I caught you trying to conceal bruises or marks from another romantic encounter
That was uncool
Your actions were inappropriate and disrespectful
Since then every night, every day I think about you in a different way I tried
Ever since that incident, my thoughts and feelings towards you have changed drastically despite my attempts to resist
But I can't stay with you
I cannot continue to be in a relationship with you due to the lack of trust and honesty between us
Playa, don't try to step to me
Do not approach me with your usual flirtatious or manipulative behavior
You lied and you deceived
You were dishonest and betrayed my trust
And now I see that our love was make believe
I realize now that our relationship was built on false pretenses
'Cause you know I got to be
I must be with someone
With a man who respects me
Who treats me with dignity and honor
But now I see that your love was make believe
I can see clearly now that your love was insincere and illusory
Chillen all alone and thinking
In a state of solitude contemplating my situation
That you were busy working
Believing that you were occupied with your job or other obligations
Making your moves
Engaging in actions or behaviors with the intention of achieving a goal
But when I try to call you
When attempting to contact you
Some girl told me that we're through
I was informed by another woman that our relationship had ended
Then I heard Oooohhh
A sound of realization or surprise
You, thought I was blind
You believed that I was ignorant or oblivious to the truth
You, can't even blow my mind
Your attempts to impress or deceive me are ineffective or unimpressive
You, will wish you could rewind
You will regret your actions and wish you could go back in time
You, ain't even worth my time
You are not a valuable or worthwhile use of my time and energy
