Let's not stop, hesitate
If this comes down to fate just wait
'Cause now I'm losing face and I
Have wasted too much time to change
My stomach's hit the floor
Don't slip, be careful, please don't fall
I'm begging, I'm pleading, believe me
I'll break you girl
(Dev and the white girl are in love. She wants a relationship. But he thinks he'll "break her" by doing it. He'll ruin her. A white girl with a black guy. How well do you think that will fly in society?)
Stop shaking I beg you girl!
I think the most scared person here is me
My muse is out of control
Don't think I'm happy here at all
Never dreamed of doing this..
A nightmare crash in this body
We're losing dignity
At least you, had yours before
(More about him being scared of getting involved with her. His muse is out of control and he can't control his thoughts. He's thinking about what everyone will say about them. He never dreamed he'd "rebel" against his race. They're going to lose all their dignity)
I'm feeling oh so misplaced
And I've turned my back on my race
I'm praying for this all to end
(He feels misplaced because he feels like he belongs in the black community but instead is with a white girl and has turned his back on his race. He wants it all to end, but it's just not going to happen. They're in love, it's fate, he can't stop it, even if he wants to)
And as I crack my hand
Open my palms and there you lay
I lift you to my ear
You whisper "Sorry it's too late"
Ignore the best advice
My vice, a brick wall to my life
Again I, feel stupid
Confessing this all in verse
(He's telling her not to get involved with him. She ignores his advice saying "Sorry it's too late. I've already fallen in love with you"
Like you, I'm waiting in line
God knows what for
(By having a relationship they're setting themselves up for criticism and "God knows what else")
Explaining the above statement better:
