Wine glass waist and her hips so smooth yeah
But I done met a lot of bad bitches like you yeah
I done met a lot of bad bitches like you yeah
But temptation I can't do it shawty
I made promises can't loose em shawty yeah
Girl let's face I've been through it shawty
Yeah yeah
You the move,
You was the move for lil minute
Get a groove I did would've let loose if you let me hit it
And I had love girl it's been a minute
But chasing you was playing with the fire
Went through the lows I still don't feel higher with you
It's feeling that I still don't like
And I know what it is
So why you trynna love me like you mean it baby
How you learn to dance like the devil
Why you trynna throw me under pressure baby
Why you wanna act like it's forever
Why you gotta do it off of me
You know that the love ain't free
I got a girl back home can't blow it
Cause you a whole trap and you know it
But temptation I can't do it shawty
I made promises can't loose em shawty yeah
Girl let's face I've been through it shawty
But temptations I can't do it shawty yeah
I remember when you shoot me a text passed midnight
Looking for the get right
I would see your number on the screen
I'd never dial it
Now I keep spiraling
I thought I'd seen everything until you
Never would've thought you'd be so see through
Knew I needed something but I didn't need you
Knew I needed something but I didn't need you and I'm over it
But temptation I can't do it shawty
I made promises can't loose em shawty yeah
Girl let's face I've been through it shawty
But temptation I can't do it shawty yeah
Ryan Trey's "Temptations" is a song about a young woman who caught the singer's attention in St. Louis. Despite this, the singer knows that he cannot act on his attraction and give in to temptation because he has made promises to someone else. The first verse describes the physical attraction between the two, with the singer admiring the woman's wine glass waist and smooth hips. However, he also acknowledges that he has met other women like her before. This suggests that he has been in this situation before and knows the consequences of giving in to temptation.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's struggle with temptation. He cannot act on his desires because he has made promises that he cannot break. He has been through similar situations before, and he knows that giving in to temptation will come with consequences. The second verse describes how the woman would reach out to the singer in the middle of the night, looking for some sort of connection. However, the singer knows that this connection is only temporary and that he does not want to pursue anything further with her.
The song ends on the same note as the chorus, with the singer once again stating that he cannot give in to temptation because he has made promises that he cannot break.

I thought I had experienced everything until I met you
Never would've thought you'd be so see through
I did not expect you to be so transparent
Knew I needed something but I didn't need you
I knew I was looking for something, but it was not you
And I'm over it
And I am done with it

He seems wiser than most of the rappers that have been out for a while...”got a girl back home, can’t blow it...cause you a whole trap and you know it.” Speaks volumes.

All types of artists all over the place fam. There's some you need to look for and some that unwillingly pop up in your feed. Ultimately, you choose what you want to listen to.
