Forgiveless
SZA Lyrics

Ayy dawg, yo, yo
Starting the song with a casual greeting

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
Adding emphasis to the greeting

I'm the original, G-O-D
Asserting dominance and confidence

Makin' young ladies scream is my specialty
Boasting about being a ladies' man

When I go da-da-da-da-da, girls get hype
Describing the effect of his music on girls

From the funky fresh music that's stereotyped
Attributing his success to his style of music

When I killed that ol' mad rugged flow
Bringing up an accomplishment in his career

Not sayin' Ason, duck of the disco
Excluding a certain genre of music from his repertoire

Or the disco duck, strictly hip-hop
Further defining his style of music

Baby, baby, I can't stop
Expressing his passion for making music

I don't care 'bout consequences, I want my lick back
Being willing to take risks to get what he wants

I don't mind who's watchin', get to pushin' your wig back
Being unafraid of confrontation and saying what he thinks

I don't mind burnin' bridges that my enemies, center peace
Being willing to leave behind people who are not beneficial to him

Call that bitch my kid, she ain't no kin to me
Dismissing someone who is not important to him

Gotta watch how you was built when you were round me, though
Implying that he can influence and change people

Give a fuck 'bout what you prefer
Not caring about other people's opinions

I'm too profound to go back and forth, with no average dork
Being too intelligent to waste time arguing with someone

It goes, spells and sorcery, hug your rosaries
Referring to mystical and religious themes in his lyrics

I don't mind competition, it is what it is
Acknowledging the existence of competition in his field

You don't mind second fiddle, that's why you a bitch
Insulting someone who is complacent and not ambitious

You don't think for yourself and that's none of my business
Not wanting to involve himself in the business of others

You take it, I dish it, I'm genie, three wishes
Being confident in his ability to handle situations

Better watch how you think out loud, if it's 'bout me though
Warning others to be careful when talking about him

Got a couple that's outside, they kill about me though
Implying that he has loyal people who will defend him

I don't need nobody help, angels surround me, though
Believing that he has a divine presence protecting him

Back and forth it go, it's hard, I know
Admitting that life can be difficult and unpredictable

I thought I told you before, it's not gon' end how you want
Reminding someone that things may not go their way

Not in the dark anymore
Referring to a previous time when things were uncertain

I might forgive it, I won't forget it
Being willing to forgive but not to forget past wrongs

This that old West Coast, East Coast, North Coast, South Coast shit
Celebrating the diversity of hip-hop music

Yo, yo, this is that old Boogie Nights
Referencing the film Boogie Nights, which is about the porn industry

Bronx the Boogie old type shit
Acknowledging the influence of Bronx hip-hop on his music

Yo, yo, yo, I wanna give a special shoutout all my niggas and niggarettes
Giving a shoutout to everyone who supports him, regardless of race or gender

All race, creed and colors
Reiterating that he values diversity

It's all love, my nigga
Expressing appreciation and affection for his fans
