Generate meaning
1
Just gotta get these thoughts off real quick
2
See I'm a thinker, it's like thinking shit
3
It's when you got
4
You sittin' there reflectin', thinkin' shit
5
I peep it though
6
Look, you liked me better before you knew my history
7
Before you knew who I was
8
That's when reachin' our potential felt likely
9
Nobody like me
10
Besides see if I stop bein' who I am
11
I'm straight to it, who I might be
12
But you gotta look inside each song
13
That's where I proved it was really in sight all along
14
Bear it all so the privacy gone
15
Grab the pen, sit down and write these wrongs
16
Just how I right these wrongs, but look
17
You liked me better when I spoke usin' censorship
18
Before you knew I was really insensitive
19
That was back when it was you and me
20
Then curiosity killed you, you had to Google me
21
Now I won't call the headlines a liar
22
Some are true and some are false, that's for y'all to decipher
23
But look, on rare occasions some of what they say'll bother me
24
I liked it better when the 'Net was still a novelty
25
'Cause now people who ain't found themselves
26
Get an outlet, yet don't know how they sound themselves
27
They like me better when I'm silent and don't have an opinion
28
Pretendin' to blend in like I'm a minion
29
Say if Joe keep talkin' that shit, he'll get him shot
30
But if rappers can't tie my shoes, how can I not? (Shit)
31
Thought I had my city's support, I couldn't believe
32
Jersey City liked me better when I couldn't leave
33
I take it back, that ain't set in stone
34
They moreso had weapons drawn cause I left alone
35
I liked it better when I had nothin' to lose
36
The days when I felt like I had somethin' to prove
37
Shit, even for me that's unusual
38
If you don't give a fuck then who you gotta prove it to?
39
Just the world that I was born in
40
You gotta learn to form wins against the storm wind
41
They like me better when I fuckin' never call again
42
Without it, they don't know what type of box I belong up in
43
They like me better without reality television
44
Guess they didn't need to witness the hell I was livin'
45
In my shoes, you too would seal a fate
46
Poppin' twenty pills a day, somebody gon' feel a way, look
47
And so these hoes just to pass time
48
After the past time, they don't even pass my mind
49
You liked me better way before you got lied to
50
But that don't really matter when you want me inside you
51
Your friends sayin' leave, they don't know that you tried to
52
You can't speak to them, I'm the nigga you cry to
53
I liked it better when nobody ever heard of me
54
'Fore pop had to get that knee surgery
55
Guess that effected his bladder
56
So when Jackie called me nothin' else really mattered
57
Was scared, sounded frantic, I ain't want no parts of that
58
Said the ambulance came, might be a heart attack
59
Was leavin' work nearly cryin' on the phone
60
I'm in rush hour traffic, just seen you dyin' alone, look
61
I just pictured all the places that we never went
62
All the texts that were never sent
63
All the words we never spoke
64
Time we never shared, rewind so we can repair
65
Such an inspiration, all the holes that you dug through
66
Then you got released, God was watchin' above you
67
I'm thinkin' you healin', I don't wanna disrupt you
68
So I'm right back to never tellin' you that I love you
69
And I don't wanna act that way
70
If I take somethin' for granted, I don't wanna give it back that way
71
Forreal, that's how shit get lost, let me chill
72
I like it better when I'm not talkin' over my thoughts, now listen
73
I done been down, been down, it's all for you
74
Said it's all for you
75
And I don't wanna get in your way
76
And I don't wanna get in your way
77
Said this love is all for you
78
Said this love is all for you
79
Look, now the singers wanna rap, the rappers wanna sing
80
Personally I liked it better back when rappin' was a thing
81
'Cause now if you wanna get the high notes
82
When that hook come, you gotta hit the high notes
83
The label wanna sell singles
84
I'm sellin' a story and that'll just taint the message
85
Bad marriage, we ain't got the same objective
86
Still I'm here 'cause real niggas in the game respect it, look
87
They like me better when I let 'em live rent free
88
I never knew that once it stopped we'd be enemies
89
And though I come off as heartless, nigga
90
In spite of yourself, got love for you regardless, nigga
91
Now listen, I liked you better when you wasn't in the spotlight
92
Was too addicted to it, said some shit was not right
93
So when you work so much I couldn't complain
94
'Til I learnt she was gateway escapin' from the pain
95
The strippers talk to me like I'm their therapist
96
That scares the good girls away, don't know the hell I get
97
Whatever thoughts you contrive, I can't help you with
98
But you've been tossin' it for a year and I derail the shit
99
I'm self made, I don't do what I'm told
100
The type that needs free reign, to be out of control for real
101
'Cause when that's gone I'm lost, let me chill
102
I like it better when I'm not talkin' over my thoughts, word
