True Love
XXXTENTACION Lyrics

True love shouldn't be this complicated
Love shouldn't be this difficult and complex.

Thought I'd die in your arms
I believed that I would die in your embrace.

I thought I'd die in your
Reiteration of the previous line for emphasis.

No hard feelings but these feelings harder
I don't have any ill will, but these emotions are much more intense.

Wait, when you see the kids? I'll see y'all tomorrow
When will you be seeing the children? I'll see them tomorrow.

Wait, when the sun set? I see y'all tomorrow
When will the sun set? I'll see you tomorrow.

Wait, when I pick 'em up, I feel like they borrowed
When I retrieve the children, it feels like I am only borrowing them.

When I gotta return them, scan 'em like a bar code
When I have to return them, it feels like I am scanning them like a product.

Wait, no hard feelings, but these feelings hard though
Again, emphasizing that there are strong emotions, but no animosity.

Wait, who got the kids in those, "What are those?"
Who has the children in those shoes, that look like 'What are those?'

Wait, why they can't wear Yeezys with the cargos?
Why can't the children wear Yeezys with their cargo pants?

Y'all know Nike don't like me, y'all take it too far though
You all know Nike has issues with me, but you take it too far with the children's shoes.

At least have 'em in some Mike's, he played for Chicago
At the very least, have them wear shoes from Michael Jordan, who famously played basketball for Chicago.

I only see three kids, who watchin' Chicago?
I only see three children, who is watching Chicago, an action/drama TV series?

And you know all the nannies they're Danny Nesbrasco
And you know all the nannies are part of the Danny Nesbrasco childcare agency/co-op.

Let the kids dig a tunnel to my house like Chapo
Let the children create a tunnel to my home, similar to the famous drug lord 'Chapo'.

Only neighbor in the hood with a door they can knock on
I am the only neighbor in the neighborhood with a door they can knock on.

I leave the light on
I keep the light on for them, so they know I'm here for them, whenever they need me.

True love (daddy's not gone)
Reiteration of the song's main theme - that true love is present, despite the variances in emotions and circumstances.

Shouldn't be this complicated (you see the light on)
Implying that love shouldn't be this convoluted and confusing, but also reassuring that he's available to the children.

Thought I'd die in your arms (daddy's at home)
Previously, he thought he would die in his partner's embrace, but now he is at home, providing love and support for the children.

I thought I'd die in your (tell Gekyume)
Reiterating that he believed he would 'die' in his partner's arms, and addressing his son, Gekyume.

Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Musical interlude

No hard feelings but these feelings harder
Repeating a previous idea; that although he harbors no ill will, his emotions run deep.

True love shouldn't be this complicated
Restating that true love shouldn't be so difficult.

Thought I'd die in your arms
Repeating the concept heard earlier in the song.

I thought I'd die in your
Continuation of the same idea.

True love shouldn't be this complicated
Restating that true love shouldn't be so complex.

I thought I'd die in your arms
Repeating a previously expressed feeling that he thought he would die in his partner's arms.
