The Message
Rell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmm oh
Hmm oh oh
Hmm oh
It's all my fault (Uhwoah oh)
Couldn't settle down
Let you down
All my fault
It's all my fault
Said I'm ready now
But you're not around
All my fault (Woah)
I ain't intend to break your heart (Uh uh uh)
I was playing round
Fucking round, from the start (Mhmm)
If I knew that this was how we gonna end
I would start over and try it all again
I hope you noticed that I tried the best I can
I even brought your ass around my fucking friends
But you ain't tryna hear me out
Just hear me now
I just wanna hear from you
So much I wanna talk about (Bout ooh uhwoah)
Everything I said to you
I hope you know I meant
I really miss your hair
I really miss your scent
Miss the hazel in your eyes
Think they perfect tint
Don't beg for second chances
But can we just try again
It's all my fault
I know you read those messages
But it's not what it seems
Can you please just let me start girl
I know we is so far apart now
We in different worlds and I know
Stay for me
Can you stay for me




Can you, Can you stay for me?
Stay 4 me

[Dr. Dre]
This one is for my brother, Tyree, R.I.P.
.. [Mary J. Blige sings in the background] ..
A message to God
.. [Mary J. Blige sings in the background] ..

[Dr. Dre]
Since you finishin em early, what posessed you to start him?
We made a vow - later we'll regret til death do us part
Lord, I thought we was made for each other
You shouldn't connect those, made to be taken away from each other
Now what I'm supposed to do? I'm only half the man that I was
I'll never last, cause my better half is up there with you
You knew what you was doin when you made us; so with all due respect
you coulda forgave him, you didn't have to take him
He can take the game with him, cause he defines the word
The one who puts the G in it, who you think put me in it?
I'm feelin like my whole world is blinded - wonderin why
Cryin, pourin out my heart, pourin out liquor behind it
We fought like brothers, somethin we never should do
We coulda used time spent arguin tellin the truth
He had talent too - I had plans on watchin him grow
Don't know what hurts more - seein him leave, or watchin him go

[Mary J. Blige]
Listen listen listen.. (listen) whoahh (listen)
Listen listen listen.. (better listen) whoahh-oahhh-oahhh
Listen listen listen.. [harmonizing]
Listen.. mmm-mmm-mmm

[Rell + (Mary)]
If you wanna know why.. (why I live my life)
The way that I do.. (cause I got to get this money)
So don't worry about me.. (cause I know my way around)
I'm just hustlin everyday, runnin this race, makin this paper

[Dr. Dre]
Youse a soldier, you're probably packin heat up there
Met up with homies from the street, and got deep up there
If you only knew the way I felt before they ruined the crew
I thought I learned from Eazy, now I'm goin through it with you
We lost a thug, a son, and a father
I spoke to your son, the other day, and told him Uncle Dre got him
The Lord must be accidentally pulling your file
cause I'm still paging you, 911, straight in denial
Prayin you get it, but no man can choose the card he was dealt
You either quit, or you gon' play it like you get it
I done been through all emotions, from in shock, to keepin a poker face
to straight breakin down and showin all emotions
I'm anxious to believe in real G's don't cry
If that's the truth, then I'm realizin I ain't no gangsta
It's just not me, but you know I'ma always ride wit you
I miss you, sometimes I wish I just died wit you

[Mary J. Blige]
Listen listen listen.. (listen) whoahh (listen)
Listen listen listen.. whoahh-oahhh-oahhh
Listen listen listen.. [harmonizing]
Listen.. eyy-eyy-eyy-yeah-yeahh

[Rell + (Mary)]
If you wanna know why.. (why I live my life)
The way that I do.. (cause I got to get this money)
So don't worry about me.. (don't worry, don't worry worry)
I'm just hustlin everyday, runnin this race, makin this paper

[Mary J. Blige]

Still the best Hip-Hop album ever made in my opinion.

Facts

@scorpionxp139

Facts 👌🏿

@lisashaw5235

Absolute classic album. We just don’t hear music like this anymore.

@abrahampalmer8761

Sad but true imo late 90s/early 00s was the last golden era of hip hop before extreme trash completely took over in recent years.

@backyardbasketball1748

Как же я с вами согласен, это печально

@Pinksgul

one of the very few albums i listen from start to finish without skipping a track

@nikomukabelniy

Very true)

@markbalogh9655

@@abrahampalmer8761 man I wish they still made music released on a monthly basis like this. sadly never will probably. not just rap even the hip hop, the rap, the rock, metal, even techno and regae were better in the 90s early 2000s all genres took a nose dive in qaulity.
