My Way
Tyus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want me to settle down
But I can't right now, no no
So much out there for me to see, yeah
I'm too young to be locked down, locked down
You can't take it (no), what we had was amazing
Instead of making it better
You made things harder for me (harder)
I thought I found it in you
Too good to be true
Excuse me, while I play
These bitches, they love me
So, if you don't fuck with me
Girl, go and get out my way
Cause Imma do this my way
Get out, get out my way
Get out my way
Get out my way
Get out, get out my way
One day, one day, one day I'll come around
I wonder if you'll wait for me
You're not the only one who wants to be my one and only
Oh, I remember when you used to call me when you were horny
Now things done changed
I'm so far away
Probably be forever macking
Cause these bitches get so dramatic
Try not to get too attached cause I don't need no distractions, no
I would rather be alone then to be stuck on just one, oh
Excuse me, while I play
These bitches, they love me
So, if you don't fuck with me
Girl, go and get out my way
Cause Imma do this my way
Excuse me, while I play
These bitches, they love me
So, if you don't fuck with me
Girl, go and get out my way
Cause Imma do this my way
Get out, get out my way
Get out my way
Get out my way
Get out, get out my way
In Tyus's song My Way, he discusses the pressure he faces to settle down and commit to one person while he is young and wants to explore his options. Tyus's partner is dissatisfied with his behavior and wants him to change, but he is not ready to do so. He acknowledges that what they had was amazing but it was only making things harder for him. He thought he found what he wanted and needed in his partner, but it turned out to be too good to be true. He ultimately tells his partner to get out of his way if she doesn't want to be with him while he lives his life on his terms.
In the next verse, Tyus talks about how one day, he might settle down and wonders if his partner will still be waiting for him. He is aware that he is not the only one who wants to be with him, and he remembers when his partner used to call him when she was horny. However, things have changed now and he feels far away. He acknowledges that he might forever be macking and that these bitches get dramatic. He tries not to get too attached to anyone because he doesn't need any distractions. He would rather be alone than be stuck on just one person.
Overall, My Way is a song about exploring one's options and living life on one's own terms, rather than succumbing to societal pressure to settle down and commit to one person. Tyus recognizes his partner's needs and wants, but he is not ready to give up his freedom just yet. He acknowledges that what they had was amazing but it is time for him to move on and do things his way.

It’s such a pain to see how underrated this guy is, I do hope there’s some kind of boom, this deserves to be in over the millions views
Zac Mirza
He will never be because he’s a thief who steals songs from other artists
