Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say I'm comin up
Now I'm noticing that fake love
Yeah that's fuckin lame
But I don't really give a fuck
I can't really stress
When I'm hiding up above
Lost in the trees
Please don't ever look me up
Say I'm comin up
Now I'm noticing that fake love
Yeah that's fuckin lame
But I don't really give a fuck
I can't really stress
When I'm hiding up above
Lost in the trees
Please don't ever look me up

Yeah I do it for me
Give a fuck what you think
Hit next, in your head on repeat
If she wanna try to love me
Just because I write about my feelings
I dont wanna feel more
I just need someone to adore.
She's not feeling me anymore
Okay
Fake love, two faced
I get it
You don't know me when you're around them
Talk to me I don't even know you now
Burned your bridge
Now you gotta pay the toll
You're a random now
Got a few plays on a song
And you wanna be my bro
We were never really cool
Not in my circle
So I don't fuck with you
Promise if I catch a check
I'm just gonna stunt on you
You have nothin left to prove
Stop actin like you know my move
I've been plottin
I've been thinkin new, everyday
Trust me when I say
You don't know anything

Say I'm comin up
Now I'm noticing that fake love
Yeah that's fuckin lame
But I don't really give a fuck
I can't really stress
When I'm hiding up above
Lost in the trees
Please don't ever look me up
Say I'm comin up
Now I'm noticing that fake love
Yeah that's fuckin lame
But I don't really give a fuck
I can't really stress
When I'm hiding up above
Lost in the trees
Please don't ever look me up

Maybe my honesty
Works against me
Don't mention me
You hardly even know Elavity
I'm not sayin I'm comin up
I really just wrote in my book
Young Outcast no one fuck with him
What happened damn
All I'm seeing is red
Like the last text you sent
Level you and your whole team
Iron on the crease of my jeans
Group of lame-ass wannabes
Isolation the only thing I wanna be
Stop calling me
Don't facetime me
I don't care that you're lonely
Walk a mile in my shoes
Talk about feelin blue
You all made fun of me for feeling down
Now I see y'all clowns posting sad
Low quality fake human beings
Tryna fuck with me.
DM me saying they always fucked with me
Nah
Couldn't be me

Say I'm comin up
Now I'm noticing that fake love
Yeah that's fuckin lame
But I don't really give a fuck
I can't really stress
When I'm hiding up above
Lost in the trees
Please don't ever look me up
Say I'm comin up
Now I'm noticing that fake love
Yeah that's fuckin lame
But I don't really give a fuck
I can't really stress
When I'm hiding up above




Lost in the trees
Please don't ever look me up
