Lyrical Analysis of...
Like a river (Da_Negiator track)
- //Refrain intro
- In sweet dreams, I kid myself
- Have your love for good
- I really had hoped you'd stay
- But like the river, you just come and go
- And these things, they comfort me
- When my mind's on you
- And I feel you comfort me
- But like the river, it just comes and goes
- //Verse 1
- Love with her I thought was complete but it was under covers
- Blind to the fact that the river was runnin' dry,
- Yeah, I watched you change right in front of me,
- Lettin' your toxic ass friends dictate who you wanna be,
- They alreter your brain, now you over every night on a shoppin' spree
- Pickin' up habits and guys that you would never tolerate honestly
- Open up cabinets and see a fuckin' bottle, harmfully chuggin' it
- Livin' a lie for the crowd and you secretly lovin' it
- When they scream "fuck him!" you jumpin' right in and you double it
- You burned our bridges with a fuckin' friend that was a sister to me
- Turned your back on the only person who stayed out here wishin' you well
- Now it's becomin' a fuck you, and the texts you be sendin' me
- Is a ghost of the girl who pretended she was
- Happy with all of the damage, it's killin' your remedy
- Behind closed doors you confess you got nothing left mentally,
- You just an empty shell runnin' from all your memories
- And those twins started new shit every single second,
- Drama and rumors they weaponized just to keep us separate,
- Even your actual twin your own brother you disrespecting,
- Nigga was tellin' you "stop being a ho" and tryin' to give you direction
- But you snapped back like, "I can do what I want it's my selection!"
- Now you cryin' 'cause you don't wanna get cheated on,
- Prayin' for a loyal guy to come and put some features on,
- But you just emotionally immature, eighteen years old,
- Blinded by a lifestyle that's leavin' your soul cold,
- Too young to see that I was better than every single one of these clowns you let in your circle hold,
- Guess you wanted Moore the less, so you went back to him three times,
- Your friends loved to watch your heart get blackened by his cheap lines,
- But when I come back, it's a "fuck you" from another perspective,
- Shit, my own homie could do better than him, he's neglected,
- And you cheated on him the second he confessed and got defensive
- Go as that nigga you ran back three times and said "yes" to,
- Go to prom with him, we knew that fuse was lit to affect you,
- That relationship was a bomb of bits, waitin' to blow and forget you
- Then you call my phone drunk cause your nigga ain't asnwerin'
- Your twin crashed out, tried to downplay me, throwin' a tantrum,
- But you too hold an agru,mental tryin' to build a complicated lie,
- Let's go back to when I got grounded and my phone was took, no word from my side,
- I tried even harder to talk to you, puttin' my pride to the edge,
- But you backed out hte second you knew I was tryin' to mend what we had
- Then literally next week, we kiss, and you agree to a talkin' stage
- Five minutes later your friend presses me, flippin' page,
- Then you complain that you don't wanna talk no more, "let's just be friends,"
- Knowin' damn well that being friends on a rocky road never amends
- But I stayed, even though there were countless times I should've made a call,
- And let a female pull up and rock the Stanley whore out of you
- //Hook Refrain
- You are so negative (uh)
- And you say you know
- But you know a goddamn thing
- Like the river, you just run and go
- You say you could do good
- And better you know
- But you tried no goddamn thing
- Like the river, I'ma run from you
- //Verse 2
- Now let's go to my lil side quest that happened this year,
- I thought she was on my side and I fell for her not knowin' the fear
- Turned out my research on her was full of shit on her, crystal clear,
- See, I started talkin' to her and her guy best friend got offended,
- Nigga got mad and pressed cause a real nigga treated her better than he intended
- Like, hold up let me talk to the audience for a second,
- 'Cause this timeline is too advanced for y'all to even question,
- These two were on and off all year, a toxic ass loop
- THey just broke up, but she still runnin' back to his fuckin' tomb
- Yeah you still go for him after all of the damage he do,
- Left me stuck in the middle tryin' to figure out what was true
- cause when we talked and we talked, you were perfectly fine,
- Then out of nowhere you ended things, drawin' a empty line,
- Tellin' me "it's not you, it's me" and your mental was full of shit
- Said you had things at home to work on and you had to pull out of it,
- Claimed you were tryin' to get in shape for volleyball, tannin' hard,
- But you lied to my face, forget that I'm always on the court,
- I didn't see you at one single workout, you slick little snake,
- 'Cause I hoop right after you, I see through the front that you make,
- Still too advanced for the crowd, but I told you I understand,
- But it was hella odd seeing how you and him were still hodlin' hands,
- Hella close, shoulder to shoulder, so I had to map out a plan,
- I got hella clingy on purpose just to make you block me on the Gram,
- You fell exactly for hte trap that I wanted you to,
- Call me manipulative, but who cheated in the talkin' stage? YOU!
- Got blocked Thursday, saw that hug on Friday, it was broad daylight
- Asked for my hoodie back, now your boyfriend blocks me tight,
- Cause you got mad that y'all got caught right in the act,
- Now it's a loud "FUCK YOU" inside my head, and that's a fact
- But I gotta play brain dead, maskin' my ADHD point of view,
- Cause inside I wanna explode and see the end of me and you
- Man, relationships at a new school never hits the same,
- Especially this one, cause it's a small private school playin' a game
- So now it makes perfect sense why my first verse was makin' a sound
- About all your toxic style friends spreadin' rumors all over the town,
- 'Cause in a small private school, the drama gets passed right around
- //Outro refrain
- Karma comes back and it's co co comin' (co co comin')
- Treatin' me bad and I'm ru ru runnin' (ru ru runnin')
- Karma comes back and it's co co comin' (co co comin')
- Treatin' me bad, I'm ru ru runnin' (ru ru runnin')
