Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You stay hatin' thoughts and you run from it
How do you not think about the pain
How do you learn and what's to gain?
Leave it be no choice of mine
Force my hand ion got the time
Got all these visions on my mind
But I got one question
Don't lie
Know you torn between both sides
You did cause shit
On pride
But I still got it for you won't lie
Why you worried about our past ways
We could've paved a new way
But you chose the route on freeway
Go head be free but don't lie to me
Aye
What you on now
I'm writing songs now
Most of them about you when you walked out
Wish you would've came and we just talked it out
Kept it all the same and we just coughed it out
Goin' thru the hiccups part of life now
Bumpy roads Bissonnet part of H Town
I heard you left the city
Now you gettin' litty
Never mind my pity but I can't stop thinkin'
Yeah I made mistakes
Made you feel a way
Invaded your space
I was wrong bout it all
Now you not even gonna call
What about the things we did to ball
My previous wanted to get involved
But I never entertained or sought
Know these other women get confused
Two weeks means nothing but the two
Two cents I said in front of you
She was never ever better than you
We were vibin' a lot longer too
Textin' since summer '16 who knew
Knew me since before I was on this route
Can't be more clear about how I do
This song was about you
Times I pulled up at school
Picked you up no fucks given
No matter who gon witness
Dignity is our mission
Your name was said 'fore we distanced
Thank Janet Jackson for that music
Miss all things I just reminisce
You stay hatin' thoughts and you run from it
How do you not think about the pain
How do you learn and what's to gain?
Leave it be no choice of mine
Force my hand ion got the time
Got all these visions on my mind
But I got one question
Do you want it
Don't lie
Know you torn between both sides
You did cause shit
On pride
But I still got it for you won't lie
Why you worried about our past ways
We could've paved a new way
But you chose the route on freeway
Go head be free but don't lie to me

I was a major tomboy as a kid. I loved climbing trees, playing with trucks in the dirt, played with all the boys in sports, you name it. Additionally, I hated wearing dresses. I just want to say this...if someone were to tell me that my behavior may be a concern or that perhaps I was a boy in a girl's body, that might have really made me question and believe that maybe they were right. I'm a married mother of three children and although I'm still somewhat of a tomboy, I absolutely love and embrace being a woman. I don’t agree with this type of teaching to young children. They should just play and have fun as children!! Most people truly don't know who they are until they're adults. Please, let children be children.
@corinanieves7153
Totally agree with you
@scarlettbutler2873
Same!

I was a tomboy all my childhood and it wasn't until I was 13 when I heard about transgender. I questioned it and I tried it out by using a different name and pronouns but it didn't feel right . Children are smarter than you think . Also people are letting children to be children. But growing up is about discovering yourself. Discovering what feels comfortable , what you like , what you don't like . Things like that! Also no trans kids are getting any type of surgeries unless a therapist agrees they can cause harm to themselves if they don't get it . But that is still when they are teens . Most trans kids take hormone/puberty blockers, which cause no harm to their bodies and have been used for decades for kids who started puberty way too early, it is also completely reversible .

The tomboyish behavior is where it starts. Glad you caught it early enough. Praise the Lord.
