2007
RAAHiiM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I think I'm ready)

I don't bleed no more (no more)
I'm not human, I died long ago
You can't hurt me, I've seen that before (before)
I don't even know what I came for
What I prayed for

Bad nigga with some good intentions
Shit, I raised me, what were you expectin'?
Last time I saw the love was when I typed this message
Last time I felt the love was like 2007, no, oh (oh)

Poor family tree
Roots over ground, blood on the leaves
All that time you never took to check on me
I know what it was so I had to
Leave, leave, oh
Leave, leave, leave, oh
Leave, leave, leave, oh

I don't know
My name's been bleedin' throughout the days

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of RAAHiiM's song "2007" express a sense of detachment and resilience. The opening lines, "I don't bleed no more / I'm not human, I died long ago," suggest a numbness or emotional detachment. The singer claims that they cannot be hurt because they have experienced pain before and have become immune to it. This may reflect a past hurt or trauma that has hardened the singer's heart.

The lines "I don't even know what I came for / What I prayed for" convey a sense of confusion and uncertainty. The singer is questioning their purpose and the reason behind their prayers. This suggests a deeper existential struggle and a search for meaning in their life.

The second verse reveals the singer's resilience and self-reliance. They describe themselves as a "bad nigga with some good intentions," indicating that they may have made mistakes in the past but still have good intentions. They assert that they have raised themselves, implying a lack of support or guidance from others. The reference to typing a message and feeling love in 2007 highlights a specific moment of connection and love in the past, hinting at a longing or nostalgia for a time when they felt more genuine affection.

The bridge section introduces the theme of familial neglect or abandonment. The singer refers to a "poor family tree," suggesting a lack of support or nourishment from their family. The line "Roots over ground, blood on the leaves" evokes imagery of a dying or withering family tree, where the roots are neglected and the branches bear the consequences. The repeated phrase "Leave, leave, oh" reinforces the idea of the singer breaking away from the negative influences and seeking a path of their own.

Overall, "2007" explores themes of emotional detachment, resilience, and the search for meaning in the face of past pain and familial neglect.
