This shit bittersweet
This shit broke my heart
We no longer friends, people grow apart
Days like this, smoke and reminisce
'Bout the good times with my old friends
This shit bittersweet
We no longer friends, people grow apart
Days like this, smoke and reminisce
'Bout the good times with my old friends
I don't want you, girl, you temporary, hey
Help me understand like a dictionary, hey
Let me love you to death like obituaries, hey
She want ice cream, blow a
Bag in Ben & Jerry's, hey
Girl, I'm a dog, I am not a prarie, wait
Smoke Phineas herb, this is not a Perry, hey
Used to drop songs when my parents ain't home
Yeah, your tape droppin' in Never-uary
Old friends (yeah, yeah)
Gotta be a boss, not a secretary, hey
My old friends dead like a cemetery, hey
I'm catchin' flights, new itinerary, damn
People talk when you ball
That's just commentary, hey
They sleep on me like it's narcolepsy, hey
I'm Penny Hardaway, can't be secondary, hey
Used to DM rappers your brand-new songs
Yeah, your tape droppin' in Never-uary
This shit bittersweet
This shit broke my heart

'Bout the good times with my
In these lyrics, Pi'erre Bourne expresses the complex emotions that come with the end of a friendship. He begins by acknowledging that the situation is "bittersweet" and that it has "broke his heart." This indicates that part of him still holds onto the positive memories and moments shared with his old friends, but at the same time, he recognizes that relationships naturally evolve and people grow apart. It is a painful realization for him.
He describes how he spends his days smoking and reminiscing about the good times he had with his old friends. This suggests that he may use these activities as a way to cope with the loss and reflect on the past. The choice to smoke could symbolize a desire to escape or numb the pain.
Pi'erre then shifts focus to a romantic relationship, referring to a girl who he sees as temporary. He wants her to help him understand the situation, much like consulting a dictionary. However, he also expresses a desire to love her intensely, as if to drown out the pain he feels from the broken friendship. The reference to ice cream and Ben & Jerry's could be a metaphor for indulgence and temporary pleasures.
He goes on to call himself a "dog" and emphasizes his independence, suggesting that he thrives on his own. He smokes Phineas herb, likely another metaphor for finding solace and peace. He mentions how in the past, he used to release songs when his parents weren't around, implying a sense of rebelliousness and an unwillingness to be constrained by others' expectations. The line about the tape dropping in Never-uary adds a touch of irony, suggesting that the release may never come, possibly hinting at the unpredictability of success in the music industry.
Pi'erre emphasizes his growth and determination, comparing himself to a boss rather than a secretary. He views his old friends as "dead" like a cemetery, indicating that those friendships have completely ended. He is now focused on his own success, traveling and following a new itinerary. However, he acknowledges that people will always talk when you achieve something and considers such commentary as merely background noise. The narcolepsy line implies that others underestimate him and overlook his potential. He compares himself to Penny Hardaway, a former professional basketball player, highlighting his own skills and dismissing any notion of being secondary to others.
In the chorus, Pi'erre reiterates the bittersweet nature of the situation and the pain he feels from the loss of these friendships. He recognizes the inevitability of people growing apart but still holds onto the memories and good times he shared with his old friends. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the emotional weight of these sentiments. Overall, these lyrics showcase Pi'erre Bourne's introspection, emotional vulnerability, and personal growth in the face of changing relationships.
