Commit
Ray Vaughn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I guess by forever
You meant until you went and found someone better
When it rains it pours and I′m sick of
This shit - like I'm under the weather
My mom′s saying "get it together"
I still don't know what upset her
I'm feeling like this was a setup
I learnt my lesson, the perfect professor
Made me question "was my all enough?"
How I fuck around and fall in love
You was worrying about your ex like
You ′bout to go and make a powderpuff
We used to talk for like an hour plus
You was my dope like a powdered drug
Then your ex killed our relationship,
And you just let him pull the power plug
You started changing and I seen a difference
You say you love me, but you mean it different
I tried to ride, but you blew the engine
Now it′s clear as day that you seek attention
It's either that or you just wasn′t thinking
Shit, was you thinking?
I always kept my shit a hundred with you
And well, now I hate you for a hundred reasons
Like the grass land, now we ruined
You make your mistakes, I know that you're human
Everything was perfect till it got polluted
Can y′all bare with me, UCLA Bruin
And I got a crib, just so you could move in
Family and my friends, telling me I'm stupid
Used to point my finger, now my point is proven
Love me, but the loyalty was not included
So yeah, bitch I went through your phone
Yeah, I went through your phone
And no you ain′t give me the code
Ain't wasting my time with that shit you was on
'Cause you said you feel so alone
But I′m laying next to you when you at home
He said, "come over", he miss when you moan
And you never told me them feelings was gone
So I wake you ′cause I'm feeling disowned
And you yell at me as if I′m in the wrong
You had that nigga here when I was gone?
Flexin' emoji, I gotta be strong
The pain in my bones
′Cause I could never understand why
Put that relationship we had on standby
A thousand bitches here at my side,
But you the only woman I would stand by
Caught you red handed, so you can't lie
I found myself being lost in you
You ain′t never went to school to be a
Surgeon, but somehow you split my heart in two
So you don't care 'bout how you
Made me feel, emotionally irresponsible
Couldn′t tell me nothin′ when it came to you,
I thought cheating on me wasn't possible... (goddamn)

How you gon′ do me like this
You know I wasn't equipped
You should′ve just called it quits
If you wasn't gone commit
I put your calls on restrict
Shit, to me you don′t exist




You should've just called it quits
'Cause you wasn′t gon′ commit

Overall Meaning

In the song "Commit" by Ray Vaughn, the lyrics explore the feelings of betrayal and hurt after a relationship comes to an end. The opening lines reveal the singer's disappointment at his partner leaving him for someone else, and the repeated mention of rain and sickness underscores the emotional turmoil he's experiencing. His mother urges him to pull himself together, but he still doesn't know what went wrong. He wonders if he gave his all to the relationship, and questions whether his love was enough. The verse goes on to reveal that his partner was still pining for her ex while they were together, and that she let him "kill" their relationship. The chorus is a bitter reproach to her, telling her that she should have just ended things sooner if she wasn't going to commit fully. He feels justified in going through her phone and ending the relationship, calling her "emotionally irresponsible" and accusing her of splitting his heart in two.


What stands out in these lyrics is their raw honesty and the complex set of emotions they convey. Ray Vaughn doesn't shy away from expressing his anger and pain, but he also admits to feeling disoriented and betrayed. There's a sense of confusion and hurt that permeates the whole song, as if the singer is grappling with how something that felt so perfect could suddenly fall apart. The use of metaphors, such as the "powderpuff" and the "flexin' emoji," adds a layer of bitterness and irony to the lyrics. This is a song that speaks to anyone who has been hurt by a failed relationship and felt powerless to stop it.
