(It's a smash) okay, yeah, let's go
Yeah, okay, let's go
Okay, yeah, let's go
Ayy, I got that fire on me (that fire)
Uh, I got that 9 on me (that 9)
Uh, I got that drank on me (that syrup)
I'm the one she gon' call
I'm the one she gon' see
Baby, I'm ballin' too hard (too hard)
All of that cash made me
A lonely boy (lonely boy)
Lonely boy (lonely, lonely)
Lonely boy
Such a lonely boy (yeah, yeah)
Lonely boy (lonely boy)
Lonely boy (lonely boy)
Lonely boy (lonely boy)
Such a lonely boy
Yeah, flooded my wrist just to drown on my bitch
Yeah, they try to cross me, they gettin' burned with the bridge
Yeah, can't run from the truth, dawg, it is what it is
Yeah, I'm telling you who, dawg, I am what I am
I just want pull up coupes, uh, I just wanna numb my pain
I just wanna pop on Xans, countin' down 'til it fades
Lookin' back at my past, ain't much shit I'd change
Why you tryna play these games? (Quit playin')
Like we don't die the same
Took me up out her frame, I took her outta my sight
Two guns by my waist, who wanna try my life?
Void in me gets bigger, sippin' on oil to fill it
I'm just gettin' sicker and that money won't heal it
Yeah, such a lonely boy (lonely boy, lonely boy)
Yeah, such a lonely boy (lonely boy)
Yeah, duckin' up off these pills, but I don't get no sleep
They say family-free, but my blood ain't cheap
Told my brother to chill, be anything but me
All of these percs and pills, I'm anything but free
Baby, you cute and all, but when you talk, you blow my high
Where the fuck all this money gonna go when I die?
A lonely boy (lonely boy)
Lonely boy (lonely, lonely)
Lonely boy
Such a lonely boy (yeah, yeah)
Lonely boy (lonely boy)
Lonely boy (lonely boy)
Lonely boy (lonely boy)
Such a lonely boy
I just want pull up coupes, uh, I just wanna numb my pain
I just wanna pop on Xans, countin' down 'til it fades
Lookin' back at my past, ain't much shit I'd change
Why you tryna play these games?
Like we don't die the same
In the first verse, Scrim talks about carrying emotional burdens and seeking solace in substances like drugs and alcohol to cope with feelings of loneliness. He expresses a sense of being the one that others admire or desire, yet still feeling isolated and disconnected from them. The repetition of "lonely boy" emphasizes this theme of loneliness and introspection. Scrim's use of imagery, such as drowning on his wrist and burning bridges, conveys a self-destructive impulse in response to his inner turmoil.
The chorus "Lonely boy" is a refrain that echoes the inner turmoil and isolation Scrim is grappling with. Despite external appearances of success or desirability, he feels a profound sense of aloneness and emptiness. The repetition of the line "such a lonely boy" underscores the depth of his emotional distress and the disconnect he feels from those around him. The juxtaposition of material wealth and inner emptiness speaks to the hollow nature of seeking fulfillment through external possessions or validation.
In the second verse, Scrim delves deeper into his struggles with addiction and the numbing of emotional pain. He reflects on the futility of material pursuits and substances in filling the void within him. The references to popping Xans and struggling to find peace highlight his inner battles and the temporary relief offered by substances. The lines about family relationships and the value of blood underscore the complexities of his personal struggles and the conflicts he faces in seeking solace.
The final chorus brings the song full circle, emphasizing the cyclical nature of seeking escape through drugs and self-destructive behavior. Scrim's repetition of wanting to numb his pain and reflecting on his past without regret showcases his resignation to his circumstances. The lament about the transient nature of money and the ultimate question of where it will all go when he's gone adds a haunting layer of introspection. The closing lines about mortality and the shared experience of death highlight the universality of suffering and the futile attempts to evade it through destructive means. Overall, "Lonely Boy" is a poignant reflection on inner turmoil, addiction, loneliness, and the elusive search for meaning and connection in the face of profound emotional emptiness.

I found that if you're lonely find another lonely person and be lonely together. Sometimes all that's needed is presence. Much love β€
