Thug
Will Gittens Lyrics

Hey baby I know that this's pulling away from me
The singer realizes that the person they are addressing is distancing themselves from him.

This's crazy to think that you don't even care about the things I do for ya
The singer finds it absurd that the other person does not recognize the things he does for her.

But how can I expect you to know you never had a father to show, show you what love is so you search for it in other wrong places
The singer is empathetic towards the other's personal experiences and acknowledges how they may have affected her perception of love and relationships.

Coz girl you're a queen and everybody knows it but you. But you
The artist recognizes the other's worth and potential, but senses that she does not have the same level of self-respect.

And I don't wanna waste my time girl looking like a fool
The artist does not want to continue pursuing someone who does not reciprocate the same level of emotional investment.

She don't really want a good guy she just want a thug she just want a thug, you can give her a heart but it'll never be enough
The singer realizes that the other person is more attracted to rough, dangerous types than to someone with genuine, kind intentions.

never be enough
No matter how much the singer tries to be what the other person wants, he will never be enough for her because of her preferences.

She always want material things
The other person prioritizes superficial possessions over actual emotional connections.

Hey baby when I said you're beautiful I mean it
The artist wants the other person to know that he genuinely finds her beautiful.

But u hated it Coz you lever learned how you should be treated girl you're a queen and everybody knows it but you. But you and I don't wanna wait around girl till you get a clue
The artist acknowledges that the other person may not have had positive role models to teach her what a healthy relationship looks like but encourages her to learn from her worth and make better choices.

She don't really want a good guy she just want a thug she just want a thug and you can give her a heart but it'll never be enough to never be enough
The singer repeats his realization that the other person is more interested in a certain type of man than in someone who genuinely cares for her.

I've got nothing else to tell you girl Coz you're too grown
The artist acknowledges that the other person has reached an age where they should be able to recognize what they want in a relationship and that he cannot force her to see his value.

To chasing him while he's chasing his hoes
The singer points out that the other person is wasting her time chasing someone who is not committed to her and may be interested in other women.

And now I'm looking stupid Coz the truth is you may never find love
The singer realizes that the other person may never find the kind of love she truly wants by continuing to pursue men who are not worthy of her time or effort.

but mumma always told me good girls like bad boys didn't believe when she said I made a bad choice
The singer reflects on his own past mistakes and how his mother warned him about the dangerous appeal of bad boys to good girls.

if I could go back in time and change it I would... I would Coz
The artist acknowledges that he would change the past if he could and not repeat the same mistake of chasing someone who does not reciprocate his love and respect.
