Loved Ones
PRhyme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We in this together, nigga, your beef is mine
So long as the sunshine should light up the sky
We in this together, nigga, your beef is mine
Man I just saw that nigga out the other day
That's me talkin' to my loved ones
I wouldn't have this shit no other way
As the plot thickens either get rolled on or rocked with it
Make a decision, nigga the clocks tickin'
Feelin' chauvinistic, rollin' with the coldest bitches
And the whip's equipped with cold ignitions
It has just been brought to my attention that the mistress finally went told the missus
Aw shit, Vicious hold this liquor
I got to take this phone call from my shorty trippin'
Uh, I'm dippin' out, keep the car and the house
I get my own shit, shit I kept a separate account
I know the rules in the street or the house
And what I learned, it ain't an equal amount, I see them nigga you 'round
And at loyalty to you go to war to hold them all down
Tell 'em your word is your bond but lie to me how
You respect them niggas way more than me by a mile
I had your child shit, baby I can't figure it out
You cheat on me it's expected, you cheat on them, it's foul
Somehow the codes that live by ain't balancin' out
Cross the line motherfucker, I'll alignin' with vowels
I owe you nothing, fuck your vows
I was your down-ass chick, you let me down
Said your word and your balls was all you had
I learn your word and your ball wasn't always 'round
Shit I know niggas in the bing, you still loyal to
Never snitch, you don't sing, you a lawyer dude
But pillow talk and sing to bitches, is that loyal too?
Tryna figure out when it becomes, "Aw, fuck the rules"
'Cause you a real nigga and that's what real niggas do
Love, none
Money over bitches and hoes, how this shit goes
Even though she givin' a nigga head out of this globe
Keepin' me fair with somethin' more than just bottles of rose
But when you out in the cold you gotta follwow the code
I'm a rider for sure, got my logic and oh's
Apartments is downtown with thousand dollar decor
I'm wilin' out for the dough, though make sure that you never let me out
Always keep me in, I get geeked when we be deep
I feel awkward when we be thin, made of these ingredients
Real nigga and loyalty, my three downfalls is get killed, snitchin', and lawyer fees
Trippin' over quarter keys
Even if shit come up missin' I flip for my forty threes
Death before dishonor just lock me in jail and throw the keys
'Fore I step to your baby mama come on, bro it's me
We just rollin' clutchin' nines, even though it's rumors you've been fuckin' mines
I don't believe 'em, no, I just be tunin' 'em out of my mind and out my vehicle
Just give me some drink and some weed to blow
I ain't naive though, we closed, my nigga we closed
My wife friend got a big old ass
She come around me I put her in the fishbowl fast
I be starin' at her like she a science project
Thinkin' to myself, like gotdamn why I ain't got that
But I'm just busy gettin' money runnin' through these biches with my loved ones
Killin' all these niggas with the quickness for my loved ones
Gettin' it with my loved ones
Splittin' it with my loved ones
Money over bitches never switch and never love none
Gettin' money runnin' through these biches with my loved ones
Killin' all these niggas with the quickness for my loved ones
Gettin' it with my loved onesh
Splittin' it with my loved ones
Fuckin' with these hoes even though we never love none
The song "Loved Ones" by PRhyme is a commentary on loyalty and betrayal in friendships and relationships. The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of sticking together through thick and thin, as the two friends express their willingness to share in each other's problems and stand by each other in any situation. However, as the verses unfold, it becomes clear that loyalty is not always given equally, as one friend feels neglected and unappreciated by the other.
The first verse conveys the sense of camaraderie and solidarity that the two friends share, as they see themselves as being in it together no matter what. The second verse, on the other hand, highlights the issue of trust and loyalty, as one friend discovers that the other has been cheating on his partner. In this case, loyalty is only given to those within one's own inner circle, while others are left to fend for themselves.
The final verse ties the theme of the song together, with the friends acknowledging that their bond is strengthened by their mutual pursuit of money, even if they don't always see eye to eye on other matters. Ultimately, the lyrics convey a message of the importance of loyalty and friendship in a world where betrayal is all too common.

Man I wish he made a video for this. I can imagine this story set with Royce and Rapsody as a couple in a therapist's office, rapping their verses at the therapist like their complaining about each other.
