Fable
RAAHiiM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
Ayy, oh
Hmm, ayy, ooh

Who's makin' sure that you're never lonely?
Nowadays you act like you don't know me
Nowadays you act like we're all good
I can't even lie to all my homies
I can't even save face
Yeah
What is there for me to say? (Mm)
I did everything to try and change
And I, and I
Put that on everything
You're too busy settlin'
Settled on a wedding ring

Why, why act up?
Fantasies don't mean love
All that shit was made up
All that shit was just another
Fable
And you tell it well
Just to find peace, know you'll raise hell
Fell in love with fairytales
Fell in love with just another, just another

Got it bad, bad, bad, bad
Carryin' the world so much, don't need another bag
I won't assume why you only speak bad in the past tense
Should've know the real ones hardly really ever last (mm)
How the fuck you lose so many things you never had?
How the fuck we lose so much here every time?
Somethin' wrong with you, every night
Night

But why, why, why, why, why act up?
Fantasies don't mean love
All that shit was made up
All that shit was just another
Fable
And you tell it well
Just to find peace, know you'll raise hell




Fell in love with fairytales
Fell in love with just another, just another
