RAYE & Mr Eazi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was always on time
And I gave you my all
So now you call, I decline
And now I don't know about you
But I know I'm gonna be fine
And I gave you my all
So now you call, I decline
All you think that you said when you running it
Now you're belling up my line like an ambulance
Say 'fam-fam-a-lam' no I'm done with it
No a 999 no emergency
Baby na na no I ain't into you
I'm a block you soon you're bug a boo baby
Back a man come unavailable
And I know I'm gonna find myself a better you
Brace yourself 'cause you needed me
Throwing all up 'cause you need the freak
But this ship is done sailed, I don't need you, B
No, you had a good girl yeah baby
I was always there for you, oh
I was always on time
And I gave you my all
So now you call, I decline
And now I don't know about you
But I know I'm gonna be fine
And I gave you my all
So now you call, I decline
I be ringing all day
I be ringing you
I be ringing you all day
Hold up wait hear me now
And Beyoncé said irreplaceable
I was holding all this begging you this
You was a, mother mother what you play me for
Now you said stop 'cause you needed me
Going all out 'cause you need the freak
But this ship done sailed I don't need you, B
You had a good girl yeah baby

So now you call, I decline
Now baby you don't get to play me
Now baby oh, when you call, I decline
Now baby you don't get to play me
Now baby oh, when you call, I decline
Thought it'd be me with a call
Just want to say I'm sorry
Not gonna lie and say that I not been acting funny
But if I do it again, then you believe me honey

Why you go get gone I'm a get it
You can move over there
The lyrics of Raye & Mr Eazi's song "Decline" are about a woman who has given her everything to a man who doesn't appreciate her efforts. She says that she was always there on time for him and that she gave him her all, but now he calls and she declines. The woman seems to be done with the relationship and says that she's going to be fine without him. She also mentions that she knows she deserves better and will find someone who values her. The man keeps calling her, but she doesn't want to continue the relationship anymore. She feels like she's been played, and she won't let him do it again.
The chorus of the song talks about the woman's giving nature and her decision to no longer tolerate being taken for granted. The man in the song seems to be realizing what he's lost and is trying to make amends, but the woman is not interested in giving him another chance. She knows her worth and isn't going to settle for less.
Overall, "Decline" is a song about self-respect and not settling for less than you deserve. It's a powerful message that encourages people to take control of their lives and not let others treat them poorly.

I was always there for you, oh
I was consistently there for you whenever you needed me
I was always on time
I made a point to be punctual in my dealings with you
And I gave you my all
I put all of my energy and effort into our relationship
So now you call, I decline
Despite your attempts to reach out to me now, I politely refuse to engage with you
And now I don't know about you
I'm not sure what your thoughts and feelings are about this situation
But I know I'm gonna be fine
I'm confident that I'll be able to move forward and be okay without you in my life
All you think that you said when you running it
You thought that you could say whatever you wanted and get away with it
Now you're belling up my line like an ambulance
Now you're calling me incessantly like an emergency service
Say 'fam-fam-a-lam' no I'm done with it
You can say whatever you want, but I'm not interested in hearing it anymore
No a 999 no emergency
This is not an emergency that requires an immediate response
Baby na na no I ain't into you
I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in you anymore
I'm a block you soon you're bug a boo baby
I'm going to block you soon because you're becoming a nuisance

But this ship is done sailed, I don't need you, B
Our relationship is over and I don't need you in my life anymore
No, you had a good girl yeah baby
You had someone who treated you well and cared for you deeply
I be ringing all day
I've been calling and trying to reach you all day
Hold up wait hear me now
Let me speak and make my point clear
And Beyoncé said irreplaceable
Like Beyoncé said in her song 'Irreplaceable', I'm not going to let you treat me badly
I was holding all this begging you this
I was holding back all of my begging and pleading with you
You was a, mother mother what you play me for
You played games with me and I won't tolerate it anymore
Now you said stop 'cause you needed me
You're telling me to stop because you need me, but I won't let you take advantage of me anymore
Going all out 'cause you need the freak
You're acting desperate because you miss the physical aspect of our relationship
But this ship done sailed I don't need you, B
Our relationship is over and I don't need you in my life anymore
You had a good girl yeah baby
You had someone great who cared for you but you took advantage of that
Now baby you don't get to play me
I won't let you manipulate me anymore
When you call, I decline
I'm not going to answer or engage with you when you call
Thought it'd be me with a call
You probably thought that I'd be the one to reach out to you first
Just want to say I'm sorry
I just want to apologize for any mistakes or wrongdoings I may have committed
Not gonna lie and say that I not been acting funny
I won't deny that I've been acting distant or strange
But if I do it again, then you believe me honey
If I mess up again, I hope you'll give me the benefit of the doubt and believe that I'm sorry
Give me one try, one try
I'm asking for one chance to make things right between us
You'll never regret
You won't be disappointed or have any regrets if you give me that one chance
Brb in a minute
I'll be right back in a minute
You gon' shh when I talk let me finish
Please let me speak and finish what I'm saying before interrupting
Getting all dressed up, I'm a kill it
I'm getting all dressed up and looking my best to make a statement
You can move over there
Please step aside or move out of my way
