I Love You Boy歌词
作曲 : Aaron Cheung/Blest Jones/Philip Chang
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Yeah
You grew up in a environment that was hostile and gate wild
Arguments you heard as a small child, had an effect
That left you with a lot to undo
Your first words was screamin' at your mom sayin', "**** you"
Imagine the visual
Diaper on, already dealin' with the residual
Effects of an explosive father figure with difficult
Momma was miserable
His love felt conditional
You better be perfect, otherwise hе'll be hypocritical
Belittle you 'til you nothin', yеah, hurts to listen
Need the parent, had to regulate the nervous system
That was reactive, mom was fatalistic
No one to protect you, grandfather paid a visit
To take you and your siblings and your momma far away
Twenty-nine years later, she regrets that she stayed
You were doomed from the start, you were hurt and ostracized
There's a wound in your heart, survival mode, you traumatized (For real)
I love you, boy (I love you)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Yeah
The monster you created to protect the kid in you is hard to manage
Supreme confidence, deep cripplin' insecurity
The damage that's been done is explicit
And abusive and a critic, nothin' that you ever do is really good enough, is it?
You didn't get validation from your dad so you replaced him with the industry and started to rap
You wanted praise and acknowledgement and picked a profession that people who look like you don't get out of rage of accomplishments
Bein' ignored, the door take outside force, that you
Yet again, apparently, aren't good enough for
All fueled you, your need to be liked and feel wanted consumed you
That's why you call a chick every night to come do you
Only to be left feelin' less than before
Didn't have the tools to manage stress, you at war
With yourself, you need love
Drinkin' to forget that bein' you is not enough
Overcompensatin' in interviews, tryna prove that you right
Maybe then you'll be liked
Tryna prove you're worthy of approval you weren't shown in your home
I'm sorry that I ever left you all alone
I love you, boy (I'm sorry)
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
Yeah
You deserve a pat on the back and a round of applause
The sound of this song makes you think I'm not proud but you wrong
Look how far you took it, international bookings
You gave your family a cushion
And through the hate, you kept pushin'
Knew you had people lookin' up to you, you held your composure
As hell moved close to you, you a soldier
It's a shock that you were ever sober
I never told you how I feel, I apologize
Lot of guys would've fold, I guess I'm not surprised
You prophesized this from the get go
Anything you wanted, went and got it 'cause you said so
Packs of women fightin' over you like chef Tchanko
Seven figure checks, private jets, your best friends know
Your character, you proved that by sharin' your
Successes and blessings, but when you hurt, we hurt
Breakdowns mean that it's time for a rebirth so
You carried me as far as you could go
Now it's time to say goodbye, before I leave, you should know though, yeah
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
I love you, boy
Run before
They kill you, run
