Um, okay, well, since, you want to be Mr. Fucking Secret Agent, what song you wanna hear?
The one about me
The opening verse to Tyler the Creator’s song “Sometimes…” sets a melancholic and introspective tone that is maintained throughout the song. Tyler describes how he sometimes retreats to his room and spends time alone with his thoughts. This verse paints a picture of someone who values time alone, and who struggles to find comfort in the outside world. The song then transitions into a brief conversation between Tyler and Shane Powers on Golf Radio, with Tyler requesting to hear a song about himself.
The lyrics of “Sometimes…” reflect the ongoing tension in Tyler’s music between moments of introspection and bravado. The song offers a stark contrast to the confrontational and provocative tone present in many of his other tracks. Instead, Tyler opens up about his feelings of isolation and alienation, suggesting that he is engaging with a more personal side of himself than he typically does in his music. The song’s stripped-down production is similarly reflective, with a subdued beat and minimalist instrumentation that highlight Tyler’s vocals.

I ain’t no lesbian I ain’t non-binary I ain’t a booty licker nor a booty eater I’m heater making bars so hot it heats theaters
one day playing shows back to back like a Comedian put my ass in ur face so u can start greeting it
(Hold up now)
Nigga it’s dark out
On a Tuesday night
Listen to these beats
I could make them mine
One fucking day I make sure you’ll listen to me everywhere but that’s when I’ll be fucking out of Here
That’s a one to one ratio you’re listening GOLF radio
Bitch driving me crazy down a steep hill gotta have hard balls of steel
Sometimes you gotta reset the day forget all the new lessons and all the toxic prey like the men of the century nigga I lied you died
(That’s end of it.)
[just some quick bars idk]
