R.O.B.T.F. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay, in my apartment a long time ago
I knew a bad bitch, but she was kind of slow
Still gave it up when it's a few of us
She let me finger fuck her on the school bus
We used to cut school with her and run train
She want to hang with us, we want one thing
Just penetrating that throat dog
She choke on it like Smoke Dog

But whenever I fucked up my re-up
In a dice game I go see her
She'll give me enough to buy a quarter ounce
And then blow a blunt of that reefa'
She used to buy a nigga new sneakers
Pay the bill on my beeper
Just so she can pay to put a "69"
And I know what time to go freak her
Then one day I just asked her
"Why you always give your ass up?
I mean damn these hoes get paid
All you do is get laid, this shit don't add up."
She said, "Tip, all I wanna do is feel love
Even if I know it ain't real love
Even if I know a nigga only finna hit it
Then never call back, I still fuck"
And that's fucked up, she's so trill
I need somethin', she go steal
When the trap hot and police ride
Nigga, guess where we go chill?
For 'bout four years she held dope
And my four pounds till' it goes down
I remember shawty, she stayed down
I won't say her name because she married now

When the lights go out and I'm in my bed
I think of all the madness in my head oh
All of the things that I did back then
Oh when I'm in my bed
I think of all the memories I've had oh
All of the things that I did back then

She would always turn heads when she'd fall through
She would always make moves how a boss do
And she never gave any nigga time of day
But she the chick all the niggas tried to talk to
But when it came to me, she had a thing for me
When we kick it she roll up the weed for me
And we'd both cut class post up in the cut steady
Watching just to see if the police coming
We got close over time, her and I
Right around the time that I first got signed
Come to think about it I was 'bout 17
I ain't even have a license, couldn't even drive
I was going back and forth with these flights
Another show after show, each night
She became so suspicious of these other bitches
She'd go through my phone and we'd fight
Talk about torn between the two
Wasn't really much more that we could do
Wasn't really much space for us
But she stayed down with every tour she seen me do
But I guess one night I had a few
Huh, one night I had a few
Yeah, this little chick that caught my eye
I told her "hurry up, meet me at the room"
And no, I didn't have a contraceptive
And my common sense neglected
And two months later next thing I know
I got a text that said "I'm pregnant"
And you can almost bet she kept it
That's the reason why you left me
On top of all that, it wasn't even mine
I went and got paternity tested, damn!

When the lights go out and I'm in my bed
I think of all the madness in my head oh
All of the things that I did back then
Oh when I'm in my bed
I think of all the memories I've had oh
All of the things that I did back then

Wait, hold up, is that you?
With them big ol' thighs after school?
Jay 3-0-5 had gave me high five
When I said I'm in hot pursuit
You said I won't ride until Kendrick drive
A new Monte Carlo that cruise
And that shot my pride, I tried to improv'
But no freestyle I never do
You looking for the nigga with the tallest 'fetti
You overlooking every nigga that ain't quite ready
To make it rain on you like about to break a levee
Hold up, that pussy petty
Yeah, your nails did, your hair did
Your cell phone is selfish
It only got numbers that come with a Hummer
Her new prima donna I smelt it
Tried to make you mine, ho!
Tried to make some time, ho!
But I ain't got the time or the patience
To stop and wait in line, ho!
Her dreams holds Versace
She fall for Armani
Only deal with rich niggas
Fuck you and Mitt Romney
I'm grown now I'm on my own now
I'm po'ppin'
Change my phone now
When I get home now
I got o'ptions
Fast forward, wait is that you?
With them big old thighs after school?
And your 3 kids and 3 baby daddies
And car note that's overdue? I know

When the lights go out and I'm in my bed
I think of all the madness in my head oh
All of the things that I did back then
Oh when I'm in my bed

I think of all the memories I've had oh
All of the things that I did back then

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of R.O.B.T.F's song "Memory" tells a story of a past relationship with a woman who was willing to do anything for love, even if it was not returned. The singer reminisces about his time with her, and how she helped him out when he was in financial trouble, buying him new sneakers and even paying his beeper bill. However, the singer eventually realized that the woman's desire for love and attention was not reciprocated by him or anyone else, and that she was simply used for sexual satisfaction by him and his friends. Despite this, she continued to hold onto her hope for real love, even settling for a false pregnancy to try and keep him around.

The chorus of "Memory" talks about the singer thinking about the past and all the mistakes he made, and how he remembers the memories of his past relationship.

The lyrics are a poignant representation of how people can be used for their love and affection, and how that can leave them feeling trapped and hopeless. The song speaks to those who have been in similar situations, experiencing unrequited love and heartbreak.

Line by Line Meaning

Ay, in my apartment a long time ago
Back in the day, in my old apartment

I knew a bad bitch, but she was kind of slow
I was with a hot girl, but she wasn't very smart

Still gave it up when it's a few of us
She would have sex with us when there were a few guys around

She let me finger fuck her on the school bus
She allowed me to sexually pleasure her on the school bus

We used to cut school with her and run train
We would skip school with her and have sex with her together

She want to hang with us, we want one thing
She wanted to be around us, but we were only interested in sex

Just penetrating that throat dog
We only cared about oral sex

She choke on it like Smoke Dog
She would gag on it like she was choking

But whenever I fucked up my re-up
When I messed up my drug supply

In a dice game I go see her
I would visit her after losing money in a gambling game

She'll give me enough to buy a quarter ounce
She would provide me with money to buy drugs

And then blow a blunt of that reefa'
And then smoke a marijuana joint

She used to buy a nigga new sneakers
She would purchase new sneakers for me

Pay the bill on my beeper
She would pay the bill for my pager

Just so she can pay to put a '69'
Just so she could engage in the sexual position '69'

And I know what time to go freak her
I knew when to go have sex with her

Then one day I just asked her
One day I finally asked her

"Why you always give your ass up?
"Why do you always have sex so easily?

I mean damn these hoes get paid
Other women get money for it

All you do is get laid, this shit don't add up."
All you do is have sex, it doesn't make sense."

She said, "Tip, all I wanna do is feel love
She responded, "All I want is to experience love

Even if I know it ain't real love
Even if I know it's not genuine love

Even if I know a nigga only finna hit it
Even if I know a guy will only have sex with me

Then never call back, I still fuck"
And then never contact me again, I still have sex."

And that's fucked up, she's so trill
And that's messed up, she's so real

I need somethin', she go steal
I need something, and she would go steal it for me

When the trap hot and police ride
When the drug operation is in danger and the police are around

Nigga, guess where we go chill?
Guess where we go to relax?

For 'bout four years she held dope
For about four years she stored drugs for me

And my four pounds till' it goes down
And she kept my four pounds of drugs until it was safe to use/sell

I remember shawty, she stayed down
I remember that girl, she stayed loyal

I won't say her name because she married now
I won't mention her name because she's married now

When the lights go out and I'm in my bed
When it's dark and I'm lying in my bed

I think of all the madness in my head oh
I think about all the craziness in my mind oh

All of the things that I did back then
All of the actions I took in the past

She would always turn heads when she'd fall through
She would always attract attention when she showed up

She would always make moves how a boss do
She would always take control like a boss

And she never gave any nigga time of day
And she never gave any guy attention or interest

But she the chick all the niggas tried to talk to
But all the guys wanted to talk to her

But when it came to me, she had a thing for me
But when it came to me, she was interested in me

When we kick it she roll up the weed for me
When we hang out, she would roll the marijuana joint for me

And we'd both cut class post up in the cut steady
And we would both skip school and hide out together

Watching just to see if the police coming
Keeping an eye out for the police

We got close over time, her and I
We developed a close bond over time

Right around the time that I first got signed
Around the time I got my first record deal

Come to think about it I was 'bout 17
Now that I think about it, I was around 17 years old

I ain't even have a license, couldn't even drive
I didn't even have a driver's license, I couldn't drive

I was going back and forth with these flights
I was traveling back and forth for shows

Another show after show, each night
One show after another, every night

She became so suspicious of these other bitches
She became very suspicious of other girls

She'd go through my phone and we'd fight
She would check my phone and we would argue

Talk about torn between the two
We would discuss being torn between two options

Wasn't really much more that we could do
There wasn't much else we could do

Wasn't really much space for us
There wasn't much room for us

But she stayed down with every tour she seen me do
But she remained loyal throughout every tour I went on

But I guess one night I had a few
But I suppose one night I had a few drinks

Huh, one night I had a few
Yeah, one night I had a few drinks

Yeah, this little chick that caught my eye
Yeah, there was this girl who caught my attention

I told her "hurry up, meet me at the room"
I told her to quickly come meet me in the hotel room

And no, I didn't have a contraceptive
And no, I didn't have any protection

And my common sense neglected
I ignored my common sense

And two months later next thing I know
And then two months later, I found out

I got a text that said "I'm pregnant"
I received a text message saying "I'm pregnant"

And you can almost bet she kept it
And you can almost guarantee that she kept the baby

That's the reason why you left me
That's why you left me

On top of all that, it wasn't even mine
And on top of that, the baby wasn't even mine

I went and got paternity tested, damn!
I got a paternity test done, damn!

Wait, hold up, is that you?
Wait, hold on, is that you?

With them big ol' thighs after school?
With those large thighs after school?

Jay 3-0-5 had gave me high five
My friend Jay from the 305 gave me a high-five

When I said I'm in hot pursuit
When I said I was actively pursuing someone

You said I won't ride until Kendrick drive
You said you wouldn't have sex with me until Kendrick drives

A new Monte Carlo that cruise
A new Monte Carlo car that cruises

And that shot my pride, I tried to improv'
And that hurt my pride, I tried to come up with a solution

But no freestyle I never do
But I can't freestyle, I never do it

You looking for the nigga with the tallest 'fetti
You're looking for the guy with the most money

You overlooking every nigga that ain't quite ready
You're disregarding every guy who isn't fully prepared

To make it rain on you like about to break a levee
To shower you with money like a levee about to break

Hold up, that pussy petty
Wait, that pussy isn't worth it

Yeah, your nails did, your hair did
Yeah, your nails are done, your hair is done

Your cell phone is selfish
Your cell phone is filled with selfish contacts

It only got numbers that come with a Hummer
It only has numbers of guys who own Hummers

Her new prima donna I smelt it
I could sense her new high-maintenance attitude

Tried to make you mine, ho!
I tried to make you mine

Tried to make some time, ho!
I tried to find some time for you

But I ain't got the time or the patience
But I don't have the time or patience

To stop and wait in line, ho!
To stop what I'm doing and wait in line for you

Her dreams holds Versace
She dreams of owning Versace

She fall for Armani
She's infatuated with Armani

Only deal with rich niggas
She only wants to be with wealthy men

Fuck you and Mitt Romney
She doesn't care about you or Mitt Romney

I'm grown now I'm on my own now
I'm an adult now, I'm on my own now

I'm po'ppin'
I'm making it big

Change my phone now
I changed my phone number now

When I get home now
When I go home now

I got o'ptions
I have options

Fast forward, wait is that you?
Fast forward, wait, is that you?

With them big old thighs after school?
With those big thighs after school?

And your 3 kids and 3 baby daddies
And your three kids with three different fathers

And car note that's overdue? I know
And an overdue car payment? I know

When the lights go out and I'm in my bed
When it's dark and I'm lying in my bed

I think of all the madness in my head oh
I think about all the craziness in my mind oh

All of the things that I did back then
All of the actions I took in the past
