Description
This song has that rare mix of anger and tenderness that comes when a person seems to have understood everything - but still feels lonely. The bass booms like a heartbeat after an argument, the words fly hoarsely like cigarette smoke out the window after the last “goodbye.” He tries to be cool, swears that everything is under control, that new faces are already nearby - but between the lines you can hear a tired “who am I kidding.”
A desperate attempt to hide vulnerability behind bravado, gold chains, burgers, and Glocks, but underneath it all is the simple human “you were my beloved.” The sound rocks like the city at night, where the headlights reflect off the wet asphalt and it still seems that if you turn the wrong way, you might accidentally run into the one.
Lyrics and translation
Original
(Luca on the track)
You deserve a Patek and a Birky, look
I know I'm heavy, but I'm ready for you
It's been a while, know my savages is thirsty
Somebody 'round me catch a body, girl, I'm headin' to you
Ooh, somebody try to touch my chain and we gon' murk 'em
'Bout 25 inside the Glocky, let it burn, mm
Like Michael Jack', can you just rock with me like? Look
Like Kawasaki, can you ride like a bike when you come through?
Like how your Birkins always complement your Hermès sandals
Ass fat, Lululemon them tights if you want to
Say my name, make you yell it out on purpose
Tat my name on you, spell it out in cursive
Jump in the Maybach, we can hide behind the curtains
Knew - got crazy when the Perkies wasn't workin'
Heard about you rattin', try to call, don't got no service
Try to catch me lackin', it's too bad, this forty turn -
Mm, I really mean it when I said I, I love you so
Turned to a demon when you left, you left me in the cold
And I ain't know nothin', I was stupid, I was buggin'
I was fine by myself
When you left, you lost a part of me
Who put Chrome Heart on your sleeve?
You know that's all me
You was 'posed to be my favorite
No chasin' when it's up in your cup
Closet for him, I replaced all your stuff
New - in my face tryna get in my bed
I'm just sayin', baby, you was 'posed to be my favorite
I'm just sayin' it's your beauty, shawty
Even though your sweatpants say Juicy and it's jiggly
Never said it, but I like you better naked, icy necklace
She like, "What you doin'? Come through" Got off the exit
Park the Bentley, you know I like flexin'
Always puttin' you first, should've put you second, though
Guess I never learned my - lesson
Still smell your perfume in my bed
Guess I woke up on the wrong side
Tryna figure out where the hell I went wrong, I
Will never ever disrespect, I put you courtside
I'm from the Bronx, I got an X under my eye for it
I got a Glocky in my pants, and you could die for it
Yeah, I'm a dog, ain't got no roof
I'm in a coupe and if I tell a - shoot, then he gon' slide for it
Goin' crazy, I really need you back in my life, baby
When you left, you lost a part of me
Who put Chrome Heart on your sleeve?
You know that's all me
You was 'posed to be my favorite
No chasin' when it's up in your cup
Closet for him, I replaced all your stuff (I replaced all your stuff)
New - in my face tryna get in my bed
I'm just sayin', baby, you was 'posed to be my favorite
When you left, I lost a part of me
Chrome Heart on your sleeve
You was 'posed to be my favorite
No chasin' when it's up in your cup
And I replaced all your stuff
And it ain't nobody better
