This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
What the fuck?!
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
Shakin' in their boots when we start the funk
They ain't scared of rap music
They scared of us
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
Shakin' in their boots when we start the funk
They ain't scared of rap music
They scared of us
I write my lyrics on parking tickets and summons to the court
I scribbled his on an application for county suppo'
I practice this like a sport
Met Donald Trump and he froze up
Standin' on hi Bentley yellin' "Pimps down ho's up!"
Stop trying to front off
Break are ass a clump off
We goin' stop the world and make you motherfuckers jump off
Watch me junk off, molitofs and bricks
Mr. Bailiff you can put that in the transcripts
Is you a have or have not?
When you run out of bullets grab rocks
Or throw ham-hocks
'Cause the door to the pen slam locks
It don't open when your fam knocks
'less you rich and have stocks
I eat my dinner outta Spam box
They carry cash off in Gladlocks
This is for them babies with they empty plates
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
Shakin' in their boots when we start the funk
They ain't scared of rap music
They scared of us
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
Shakin' in their boots when we start the funk
They ain't scared of rap music
They scared of us
Life in the game
showin' no remorse and no shame
Box ?? those thangs
Due to the dealin' the cocaine
In my brain, I know it's wrong
But a job'd take too long
I'm robbin' niggas at gunpoint just to keep my PG in week long
and we own
Kodiacin' narctoics, just to keep going neurotic
Pushin' the product
Got shot in my partna, dropped a chopper in his lap
This shit is a distract from the black on black
A systematic attach on me and my race
Face it, found a way out this cycle before I'm six feet deep in the dirt
A consequence of puttin' it worth
This money and ho's and clothes ain't worth it
even those my pockets is hurtin'
for certain, It's goin' to be curtains if I keep on for certain
As you get older you just realize man
It's human nature to have thangs
But I got to get out the game
Don't be shoutin' my name
Temptation callin', will I sacrifice my life in order to be ballin' this all in time
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
Shakin' in their boots when we start the funk
They ain't scared of rap music
They scared of us
This is that shit that the po-po's hate
When we talkin' to our folks and they love and relate
Shakin' in their boots when we start the funk
They ain't scared of rap music
They scared of us
But the people love it, the people love it, the people love it,
yeah, yeah, yeah
But the people love it, the people love it, the people love it,
yeah, yeah, yeah

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
