Punk Goes Pop Vol. 2 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whassup Boo? Swear I'll never call you bitch again
You ain't fuck with me,
I swear I'll never call you bitch again
(All I just wanna say is um, if I fuckin' apologized)
I swear I'll never call you bitch again
(I ain't mean to call you a bitch)
I'll never call you bitch again

Damn, gave my homey 90 days for domestic violence
I try to picture myself, in this position but remain silent
I get to thinkin' bout this shit, we been through
We close like kin but you remain my friend too
This life of sin, done got the both of us in trouble
But you always stay down for a nigga, so that's why I love you
Reminiscin' needin' tissues, fightin' over childish issues
Swear I can't live with you but without you every day I miss you
When we roll you hold my pistol, my gangsta bitch-ich
You always in the mood for love, that's why I'm sleepin' with you
Though not the man of your dreams, my plan and schemes
To be rich like a king, and live my life, trouble free
I see yesterday I called you names, and played games on yo' mind
I promise that I'll change in time
It's a complicated world, so girl just be a friend
I swear I'll never call you bitch again (and that's my word)

We came, too far
To throw it all away
(I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me)
We came, way too far pretty baby
To throw it all away, throw it all away
(I swear I'll never call you bitch again, hey)

I wake up early in the mornin', at the crack of dawn
Nigga still tired so I'm yawnin', and now I'm gone
Tryin' to get my money on strong, so an early riser
Out before them other guys, that's the way to profit every time
Can't get too close, my enemies, they see ghosts, they envy me
Plus we been beefin' with the east coast, with casualties
Got stopped in traffic, had a warrant, so they gaffled me
But while I'm gone, watch my business, and my back for me
My enemies think they got me crossed, they ain't knowin'
Ain't no love for player haters where you cowards goin'
You paid bail, got me out of jail, home again
I promise not to leave you on your own again
Cristal corks are popped, romantic, thoughts are dropped
It's so frantic but don't panic 'cause we crossed the top
I found a partner and a rider, a woman and friend
I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me

We came, too far
To throw it all away
(I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me)
We came, way too far pretty baby
To throw it all away, throw it all away
(I swear I'll never call you bitch again, hey)

I know, I know
All that is dead though, I'm changed, I'm tellin you.
I swear I'll never call you bitch again believe me
I know what time it is, gotta give a nigga time
To grow up you know what I'm sayin? That was way back then
I swear I'll never call you bitch again

You're my nigga, my best friend
I'm never gonna call you, a bitch again
Yea yea yea
Oh

Witness the evil men do, all this shit I been through
Never meant to hurt you, can we make this work boo?
I know you been feelin' pain, things are not the same
"Waitin to Exhale" while I'm sittin' in the County jail
Keep yo' head up, 'cause things are gettin' better
My cellmates shed tears off yo' last love letter
Told 'em you would find a friend so keep yo' eyes peeled
Sorry if I cuss but it's the suffering that I feel
Who can I trust and if I bust will she snitch
Even though you ain't the type to trip
Sorry if I called you bitch
You showed me the definition of feminine
The difference between a pack of bitches and black women
I see the boss for the third time, hope to see you soon
Pictures of us kissin' in the living room, in the nude
Thanks for bein' there, much more than a friend
I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me

We came, too far
To throw it all away
We came, too far (way too far pretty baby)
(I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me)
We came too far pretty baby
To throw it all away, throw it all away
(I swear I'll never call you bitch again, believe me)

We came way too far pretty baby
To throw it all away, to throw it all away

Through all my ups and downs,
You always stayed around, stayed around

Overall Meaning

The lyrics from "See You Again," as performed by the rapper Tyler Carter, speak of a troubled relationship between a man and a woman. The song opens with an apology, with the man saying he will never call the woman a "bitch" again. He reflects on his own behavior and that of his friend who has been jailed for domestic violence, commenting on how they both got into trouble through their life of sin. Despite all the childish arguments, the man is grateful for the woman's loyalty and goes on to detail the sacrifices she made for him. He acknowledges that he is not the man of her dreams but promises to change in time. The chorus depicts a couple that has come too far to throw it all away and the man reaffirms his promise never to call her "bitch" again.

One of the interesting facts about "See You Again" is that it is a cover of Miley Cyrus's original song. Tyler Carter's version slows down the tempo and gives the song a more emotional feel. The lyrics were written by Miley Cyrus, Dr. Luke, and the songwriting team of Kelly and Karen Garcia. The song originally appeared on the soundtrack to the movie "Hannah Montana: The Movie," and was later included on Cyrus's album "The Time of Our Lives." Tyler Carter's cover appears on the second volume of the "Punk Goes Pop" album series.

Another interesting fact is that "See You Again" was Tyler Carter's first single as a solo artist after leaving his band Woe, Is Me. He was inspired to cover the song after hearing it while working at a record store. Carter's version became a viral hit and helped him gain a following as a solo artist. The song's music video, directed by Blake Pickett, depicts the rapper revisiting the locations of some of his past relationships.

"See You Again" has been praised by critics for its emotional depth and Tyler Carter's vocal delivery. The song has been described as a powerful apology and a tribute to the strength of enduring love. The lyrics have been interpreted as a reflection of Tyler Carter's own struggles with addiction and difficult relationships.

Despite the song's title, the lyrics do not actually mention the phrase "see you again." This has led some fans to question if the song is related to Charlie Puth's hit song of the same name.

Another interesting fact is that the song features a sample from the Tupac Shakur song "Heaven Ain't Hard 2 Find." The sample is taken from a line where Tupac says, "My Heaven was found on Earth, with my queen I know I'm blessed." Tyler Carter has cited Tupac as a major influence on his music, and he believes that the rapper's message of love and positivity is still relevant today.
