Modern Duygusallığın Karmaşık Portresi: SOS Albüm İncelemesi

Modern zamanın ikili ilişkilerindeki belirsizliği, özgüvenin kırılganlığını ve geçmişin hayaletleriyle yüzleşmeyi anlatan **SOS**, dinleyiciyi ham, filtresiz ve yoğun bir duygusal yolculuğa çıkarıyor. Albüm, bir yandan bireyin kendi içindeki çatışmalarını dış dünyaya yansıtırken, diğer yandan terk edilme korkusu ile özerklik kazanma arzusu arasında gidip gelen bir zihin yapısını merkeze alıyor.

Bu çalışma, sadece bir ayrılık hikayesi değil; aynı zamanda kendine dönüşün, hataları kabullenmenin ve "yeterince iyi" olmaya çalışırken yaşanan çöküşlerin bir envanteridir. **SOS**, kendi kendine yetmeye çalışan ama yine de bağ kurmaya ihtiyaç duyan modern insanın çelişkili doğasını kusursuzca özetliyor.

## Şarkı Şarkı Analiz

### SOS

* **Ana Tema:** Otoriteyi yeniden kazanma ve geçmişe dair "hesaplaşma".

* **Lirik Analizi:** Albüme ismini veren bu parça, bir manifesto niteliğinde. Sanatçı, geçmişteki haksızlıklara karşı sessiz kalmayacağını, artık kendi değerinin farkında olduğunu vurguluyor. "I just want what's mine" diyerek, çalınan zamanın ve emeğin geri istenmesi metaforuyla, bireysel sınırların çizildiği bir duruş sergiliyor.

### Kill Bill

* **Ana Tema:** Kıskançlık, kabullenememe ve karanlık fanteziler.

* **Lirik Analizi:** İlişkinin bitişiyle gelen yıkımın en dramatik dışavurumu. Şarkı, kişinin mantıklı kalmaya çalışması ile dürtüsel kıskançlık arasında yaşadığı gelgiti işliyor. "Rather be in jail than alone" dizeleri, yalnız kalma korkusunun rasyonel düşünceyi nasıl gölgeleyebileceğini çarpıcı bir şekilde ortaya koyuyor.

### Seek & Destroy

* **Ana Tema:** Yıkım yoluyla özgürleşme.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Kaosu bir çözüm yöntemi olarak kullanan bir zihniyet söz konusu. "Now that I've ruined everything, I'm so fuckin' free" dizeleri, aslında bir şeyleri mahvetmenin, insana üzerindeki beklentilerden kurtulma gücü verdiğini savunuyor. Yıkımın, yeni bir başlangıç için gerekli bir temizlik olduğu fikri işleniyor.

### Low

* **Ana Tema:** Gizlilik, tutarsızlık ve duygusal mesafe.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Dış dünyada güçlü ve mesafeli görünme çabası ile özel alandaki yoğun duygusal karmaşa arasındaki uçuruma odaklanıyor. "In the bedroom, I be screamin', but outside, I keep it quiet" satırları, kişinin dışarıya karşı giydiği zırhı ve iç dünyasındaki savunmasızlığı net bir şekilde özetliyor.

### Love Language

* **Ana Tema:** İletişimsizlik ve onay arayışı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** İlişkide sevgi dilinin farklılığı üzerinden yükselen bir gerilim. Partnerin sevgi biçimini anlamlandırma çabası, aynı zamanda kendi değerini onun üzerinden tanımlama hatasını da gözler önüne seriyor. "Nobody get that work up out me like you do" vurgusuyla, bağımlılığın doğasına dikkat çekiliyor.

### Blind

* **Ana Tema:** Kendi kendine körlük ve mağduriyet döngüsü.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Kişinin kendi ihtiyaçlarını görmezden gelerek partnerinin beklentilerine göre şekillenmesini eleştiriyor. "All of the love I seek living inside of me, I can't see, I'm blind" dizeleri, öz-değerin dışarıda aranmasının yarattığı trajik yanılgıyı metaforik bir dille anlatıyor.

### Used

* **Ana Tema:** Güvensizlik ve kırılganlık.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Birine karşı savunmasız kalmanın yarattığı "kullanılmışlık" hissi. İlişki içinde güven inşa etmenin zorluğu ve kişinin kendi potansiyelini, başkalarının ego savaşları arasında nasıl tükettiği irdeleniyor.

### Snooze

* **Ana Tema:** Derin bağlılık ve vazgeçememe.

* **Lirik Analizi:** İlişkinin tüm zorluklarına rağmen hissedilen yoğun sadakat ve hayranlık. Partnerin "önemli" görülmesi, mantığın önüne geçiyor. "I can't lose when I'm with you" cümlesi, ilişkinin hem bir kaynaktan beslenme hem de bir bağımlılık haline dönüşme sürecini yansıtıyor.

### Notice Me

* **Ana Tema:** Görülme arzusu ve belirsizlik.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Birine olan ilginin, karşı tarafça fark edilmeyi beklemenin yarattığı pasif agresif tavırlar. "I'm just tryna be your person" isteği, klasik bir tanımlama yerine daha organik bir yakınlık arayışını temsil ediyor.

### Gone Girl

* **Ana Tema:** Kaybolmuşluk ve kaçış.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Kişinin kendinden kopuşu ve bu kopuşu bir tür savunma mekanizması olarak kullanması. "I live to escape" ifadesi, gerçeklerle yüzleşmek yerine zihinsel olarak başka bir alana çekilme ihtiyacını vurguluyor.

### Smoking On My Ex Pack

* **Ana Tema:** Geçmişle dalga geçerek güçlenme.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Geçmişteki ilişkileri birer "paket" olarak görüp onları tüketerek (yani unutarak/umursamayarak) bir üst seviyeye çıkma arzusu. Bu parça, bir nevi duygusal detoksun en sert hali olarak karşımıza çıkıyor.

### Ghost In The Machine

* **Ana Tema:** Modern yaşamda insan kalabilme mücadelesi.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Teknolojinin ve yüzeyselliğin insan doğasına etkileri. "I need humanity" haykırışı, her şeyin mekanikleştiği bir dünyada, gerçek hisleri ve insani bağları koruma çabasını yansıtıyor.

### F2F

* **Ana Tema:** Boşluğu doldurma çabası ve kendine itiraf.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Birini unutmak için başkalarıyla vakit geçirme yanılgısı. "I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you" dizesi, yapılan eylemlerin asıl sebebinin dürüstçe itirafıdır; bu, kendini kandırmanın en sert biçimidir.

### Nobody Gets Me

* **Ana Tema:** Anlaşılma özlemi ve ayrılık acısı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Bir ilişkinin bitişinde, o kişiye dair en özel şeyin "bizi sadece o anlıyordu" duygusunun kaybı olduğu vurgulanıyor. "Nobody gets me like you" ifadesi, ayrılığın ardından oluşan boşluğun neden doldurulamadığını açıklıyor.

### Conceited

* **Ana Tema:** Özgüvenin yeniden inşası ve narsisizm.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Dışarıdan bakıldığında "kibir" gibi görünen durumun, aslında bir hayatta kalma ve kendini koruma biçimi olduğunu savunan bir parça. "Bettin' on me" nakaratı, kişinin tüm yıkımlardan sonra kendine yatırım yapmaya karar vermesini temsil ediyor.

### Special

* **Ana Tema:** Kıyaslama ve öz-yıkım.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Başkaları gibi olmaya çalışırken kaybedilen özgünlük. "I wish I was special" itirafı, başkalarının gözünde "özel" görünme çabasının kişiyi nasıl sıradanlaştırdığını ve kendi değerini yok ettiğini anlatıyor.

### Too Late

* **Ana Tema:** Zamanlama ve korku.

* **Lirik Analizi:** İki insanın birbirine karşı hisleri olsa bile, zamanlamanın yanlışlığı veya korkuların engelleri üzerine kurulu bir analiz. "Is it bad that I want more?" sorusu, tatminsizliğin aslında bir doyumsuzluk değil, daha derin bir bağ arzusu olduğunu gösteriyor.

### Far

* **Ana Tema:** Uzaklaşma ve kendini yeniden tanımlama.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Geçmişin tanımlamalarından kurtulup kendi kimliğine dönme süreci. "Far" vurgusu, yaşananlardan sonra kişinin kendi özüne ne kadar uzaklaştığını ve oraya geri dönmenin zorluğunu simgeliyor.

### Shirt

* **Ana Tema:** Değersizlik hissi ve döngüsel hatalar.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Kişinin kendi değerini unutup, kendisini değersizleştiren bir ilişki döngüsüne tekrar girmesi. "Bloodstain on my shirt" imgesi, yaşananlardan kalan kalıcı izleri ve bu izlerin sorumluluğunun kaçınılmazlığını anlatıyor.

### Open Arms

* **Ana Tema:** Teslimiyet ve koşulsuz sevgi arayışı.

* **Lirik Analizi:** "Put a leash on me" dizeleriyle, sevgi uğruna bağımsızlığı feda etme isteğine kadar giden bir teslimiyet. Bu, sevginin kişiyi koruması mı yoksa tutsak etmesi mi gerektiği sorusunu sormamızı sağlıyor.

### I Hate U

* **Ana Tema:** Öfke ve arzu arasındaki karmaşa.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Nefret ve sevginin birbirine ne kadar yakın olduğunu gösteren bir çalışma. "What I would do to make you feel just like this" ifadesi, çekilen acının öteki tarafından da hissedilmesi arzusunu, yani bir tür empatik intikamı temsil ediyor.

### Good Days

* **Ana Tema:** İyileşme süreci ve geleceğe dair umut.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Geçmişin yüklerinden kurtulup, zihni temizleme çabası. "Gotta let go of weight" diyerek, huzurun anahtarının bırakabilmekte olduğunu hatırlatıyor. Albümün sonunda, geçmişle bağları koparıp "iyi günlere" odaklanma kararlılığı yer alıyor.

### Forgiveless

* **Ana Tema:** Affetmeme hakkı ve güç.

* **Lirik Analizi:** Affetmenin, herkesin sahip olması gereken bir erdem değil, kişisel bir tercih olduğu vurgusu. "I might forgive it, I won't forget it" duruşu, kişinin yaşadığı travmalardan ders çıkararak kendi gücünü eline almasının nihai sonucudur.

Needin' you to talk to me in your love language

Show me, yeah, how to connect to you

Help me understand how you speak your love language

Bad as I wanna be yours, I can't get with your program

I hit my clutch and vroom

Third day pop out the tomb

"Used"

(feat. Don Toliver)

[SZA:]

Guess I been used to being used like this

Ain't no difference, I'm immortalizing my thoughts

Praise to the most high for protection

Over my most prized possessions

Talkin' 'bout my sanity's at a 6.7, handin' out poinsettias

To my dead homie mothers, prayin' they feel better

Might get shit mindin' my business

Might get chipped sharin' my vision

Might as well, can't tell if it's even worth conversation

Need a prayer, do it even work?

All that's for real, it's forever

Moments stolen taste better

[Don Toliver:]

I've been ridin', ridin' through this cold world

Thought you had another, went and caught up with ol' girl

I feel like it's over

Something's callin' to get closer

I'm out of touch, I need your love, I wish a mile away

Then you weren't sure, weren't sure, we're goin' out the way

I feel like it's over

Something callin' to get closer

[SZA:]

Countin' my blessings twice as much

Let death stress me too much

Can't hide from pressure, too worried I'm livin' a lie

Can't trust nobody you ain't been broke with

Niggas tryna break my focus, bitch, I'm Obi Wan

You caught in the laser

Thought it'd be easy to get myself

Oh, I need you, but it takes time

And I'm out of patience, I burnt it with you

Can't lose myself to your ego, I wanna say

You loved me better when you tried less

I don't take much, just need your honesty, oh

Love will work better when you confess

Feelings don't need discussion

Spend my life discoverin' new shit

[Don Toliver:]

I've been ridin', ridin' through this cold world

Thought you had another, went and caught up with ol' girl

I feel like it's over

Something's callin' to get closer

I'm out of touch, I need your love, I wish a mile away

Then you weren't sure, weren't sure, we're goin' out the way

I feel like it's over

Something callin' to get closer

"Notice Me"

You stay on my mind, I can't regret no time spent with you

And I still wonder if you notice me, yes

Out of my line if I box with you

Out of my line if I check your line when you're not around

Out of my lane if I get beside myself, I can't rock with you

Can't decide right now, either way I'm buzzin' through tonight with you

Bet you don't even miss your girl

I can't even speak

"Gone Girl"

Ooh, ooh

Split mind, don't need to decide when

Straight forward, eyes on the climbing

I decide no matter the climate

Birthing bitches in my third trimester

Shift eyes, they tell me you lying

Don't care, just lay here beside me

Hang time, chasing the rewind

Hang time

I need more space and security

I need less voices, just you and me

I need your touch, not your scrutiny

Squeezing too tight, boy, you losing me

Boy, you losing

Gone, gone girl, gone girl

You better learn how to face it

She's gone, gone girl, so gone girl

Never replace her

She's gone, gone girl, gone girl

You better learn how to face it

She's gone, gone girl, so gone girl

Can't think, it's too hard to process

Get around you and I regress

I decide what demons I digest

Almost tired of repeating, I digress

Trying to find deeper meaning in nonsense

Trying to grow without hating the process

Tired of anticipating the worst, yet

Still anticipating the worst

I need more space and security

I need less voices just, you and me

I need your touch, not your scrutiny

Squeezing too tight, boy, you losing me

Boy, you losing

Gone, gone girl, gone girl

You better learn how to face it

She's gone, gone girl, so gone girl

Never replace her

She's gone, gone girl, gone girl

You better learn how to face it

She's gone, gone girl, so gone girl

Inward I go when there's no one around me

Memories drown me the further I go

Ain't nobody talking 'bout the damage

Pretending like it's all okay

I tried to erase

I live to escape

Gone, gone girl, gone girl

You better learn how to face it

"Smoking On My Ex Pack"

Roll the clip and run it back, I'm really like that

I'm really not friendly, I need my credit, niggas hate that

I need the numbers

I need the data, got you talkin' crazy

Abracadabra, you niggas sideshow

I'm Bobbin' like psycho

You gassin' like Texaco

Infection like microbe

You test it, I might go

You push it, I might pop

I'm fuckin' on heartthrobs

I got your favorite rapper blocked

I heard the dick was whack

Your favorite athlete screamin', "Text me back"

I make no exception

The lesser part of me loves all the cap

He screamin', "Get back together"

I'm screamin', "Back of the bus, trick"

Hawaii for weather

Booty softer than leather

These hoes is featherweight

I wipe my phone and gave some dome, I beat the case

Them "ho" accusations weak

Them "bitch" accusations true

You hatin' from nosebleeds, I wish you well

Smokin' on my ex pack tonight

Smokin' on—

You can trust in me

I can, you said

"I can trust in you"

I can, I can

You can trust in me

You can, you can

Oh, oh

"Ghost In The Machine"

(feat. Phoebe Bridgers)

[SZA:]

Oh-oh

Oh-oh, mm-mm, mm

Everything disgustin', conversation is so borin'

Heard about what? I ain't heard, I don't agree, I did it first

I give a fuck, I just wanna fuck, eat, sleep, love happy

Can you make me happy? Can you keep me happy?

Can you distract me from all the disaster?

Can you touch on me and not call me after?

Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?

Can you lead me to the ark? What's the password?

I need humanity

You're like humanity, drownin' in vanity

Cravin' humanity

You're like humanity, I need humanity

I need–

Anybody wanna be beautiful, scared of the unusual

Scared of givin' mutual respect, all that you hate

You reflect all the godlike, you forget how to love somebody

I hate everybody, I hate everyone

Let's talk about A.I., robot got more heart than I

Robot got future, I don't, robot can't sleep

But I don't power down, I'm wide open, I'm awake

I'm on autopilot, I'm out of my mind and I'm wide open

Can you distract me from all the disaster?

Can you touch on me and not call me after?

Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?

Can you lead me to the ark? What's the password?

I need humanity

You're like humanity, drownin' in vanity

Cravin' humanity

You're like humanity, I need humanity

I need–

[Phoebe Bridgers:]

You said all of my friends are on my payroll

You're not wrong, you're an asshole

Screaming at you in the Ludlow

I was yours for free

I don't get existential

I just think about myself and look where that got me

Standin' on my own in an airport bar or hotel lobby

Waiting to feel clean

It's so fucking boring

[SZA:]

Can you distract me from all the disaster?

Can you touch on me and not call me after?

Can you hate on me and mask it with laughter?

Can you lead me to the ark? What's the password?

I need humanity

You're like humanity, drownin' in vanity

Cravin' humanity

You're like humanity, I need humanity

I need–

[SZA (Sadhguru):]

Those who have forsaken their humanity

They like to patch their life with morality

(I think I might be tryna patch my life with morality)

Curious, I'm curious

"F2F"

I been thinkin' 'bout you, haven't got much sleep

Worried that you already done replaced me

Worried I done it took far and you too hurt to hear me

Smokin' on a Backwood 'cause I miss my ex

Now I'm ovulatin' and I need rough sex

Knowin' you gon' block me tomorrow, can you still come and get me?

Missin' my daddy when the nights get cold

Wishin' I didn't wanna sell my soul

Wishin' that it wasn't so hard, man, I'm on my knees

Get a rise out of watchin' you fall

Get a kick out of missin' your call

I hate me enough for the two of us

Hate that I can't let go of you enough, this why

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

I fuck 'em 'cause I really miss you

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

I just had to get my rocks off

Your got no loyalty, you push me 'til I pop off

I beg for empathy, you gave me nothin'

So hard without you (So hard without you)

I feel it comin', you gon' find another one

To keep you comin', tuck you in, at night I wonder

Will you call me? Will you hang me out to dry?

Missin' my daddy when the nights get cold

Wishin' I didn't wanna sell my soul

Wishin' that it wasn't so hard, man, I'm on my knees

Get a rise out of watchin' you fall

Get a kick out of missin' your call

I hate me enough for the two of us

Hate that I can't let go of you enough, this why

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

I fuck 'em 'cause I really miss you

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

I'm lookin' for comfort, I knew all along

I knew that you loved her, since we droppin' bombs

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

I fuck 'em 'cause I really miss you

I fuck 'em to forget you

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

I try to run, but I don't block 'em

Fuck 'em, but I don't cuff 'em

I fuck 'em 'cause I miss you

"Nobody Gets Me"

Took a long vacation, no make-up, just Jay-Z

You were balls-deep, now we beefing

Had me butt-naked at the MGM

So wasted. Screaming, "Fuck that!"

Blurry now, but I meant it then

Hurry now, baby, stick it in

'Fore the memories get to kicking in

It's too late, I don't wanna lose

What's left of you

How am I supposed to tell you

I don't wanna see you with anyone but me?

Nobody gets me like you

How am I supposed to let you go?

Only like myself when I'm with you

Nobody gets me, you do

You do

Nobody gets me, you do

You do

Nobody gets me, you do

You do

Nobody gets me, you do

Took me out to the ballet

You proposed, I went on the road

You was feeling empty, so you left me

Now I'm stuck dealing with a deadbeat

If I'm real, I deserve less

If I was you, I wouldn't take me back

I pretend when I'm with a man it's you

And I know that it's too late, I don't wanna lose

What's left of you

How am I supposed to tell you

I don't wanna see you with anyone but me?

Nobody gets me like you

How am I supposed to let you go?

"Special"

I wish I was that girl from that Gucci store

She never wore any makeup and she owns couture

I got pimples where my beauty marks should be

I got dry skin on my elbows and knees

I never liked her, wanted to be like her

Hate how you look at her 'cause you never saw me

Like I was an art piece, like I was an ordinary girl

I wish I was special

I gave all my special

Away to a loser

Now I'm just a loser

I used to be special

But you made me hate me

Regret that I changed me

I hate that you made me

Just like you

I wanted to be thick, now I wanna be thin

Heard Pilates is in, bash your windows out

You gon' hear my mouth, you could kick me out

You say I'm too wild, you gon' hate me now

Boy, you got me fucked up, now I'm gettin' fucked up

Thinkin' 'bout us fucking, why you'd have to fuck her?

I don't wanna see you, why'd you have to treat me

Like I was an ordinary girl?

I wish I was special

"Too Late"

Too late for us

We're both dangerous

Movin' so close, we combust

Is it bad that I want more?

I been gone so long, I don't know where I'm going

You be on my phone, talkin' 'bout what's my problem?

I done go alone and get it how I want it'

Had to be alone to out figure how I should be loved

And if it's just us, is that enough?

Is it bad that I want more?

Is it too late for us?

We both dangerous

Movin' so close, we combust

Is it bad that I want more?

Is it too late for us?

We both scared to love

Movin' so close, we combust

Is it bad that I want more?

See, bust it like a toolie in your waistband

Bust it like that booty too big and you need two hands

Bust it like you catchin' a body and you in G stance

Bust it like it's casual Friday and you hear two things

Call bluff, I know what's up, can't get enough

Is it bad that I want more?

Is it too late for us?

"Far"

How do I deal with rejection?

I'm dealing with a lot of rejection right now

It makes me feel very small

Oh, that's great

If nobody wants you, you're free

Try to watch all on my silhouette

Try to watch all my emotions

Need a few brews, need a palm tree

I be drinkin' in private, don't call me to party it up

Fuck on your nigga for cardio

Took a dip and he fell in love right away

I put my feelings on layaway (Ah)

Done being used, done playing stupid

Done faking cool (I don't want none of that shit, I don't want it)

Done being screwed, done feeling clueless

That's how you do (I don't want none of that shit, got me runnin' so)

Far, far, like I don't recognize me

Far, far 'cause I let you define me

I'm far, far 'cause I can't trust nobody

Far, stay far, it's so far

Lately, I feel less cool than before

(Already under my bed about)

(Don't need you around to tell me I'm special)

Made you check your bullshit at the door

(Got it every time, need to feed my ego)

(Nobody wanted to be my hero)

Always on my mind, trust is hard to find

Everything reminds me of us

I just want my sanity back

Better than being your enemy

(Better than letting go, scared of that, oh)

Done being used, done playing stupid

Done being cool (I don't want none of that shit, I ain't goin')

Done getting screwed, done playing clueless

That's how you do (I don't want none of that shit, got me runnin' so)

Far, far, like I don't recognize me

Far, far 'cause I let you define me

I'm far, far 'cause I can't trust nobody

Far, stay far, it's so far

I remember when you had me upside down

Stressed me out and turned me out, it's all back now

I remember when I wasn't so burnt out

I'd rather that than be your enemy, ready to let it go

Draggin' me far, far, like I don't recognize me

Far, far 'cause I let you define me

I'm far, far 'cause I can't trust nobody

Far, stay far, it's so far

Open arms (Ooh), open arms

You give me open, I'm so devoted

You keep me open (Ooh), open arms

Pull up on an opp, hit his curve up, slidin' (Brr)

Notice when you mad, ain't no words, just silence (Ooh)

You my favorite color, now you seein' every shade of me

You say that I'm trippin', I hit back like, "Where you takin' me?"

Locked in for life, on God, no replacin' me

Consequences, repercussions, karma keep on changin' me (Ooh yeah)

For you I trust, face card, valid ID (Ooh)

C'est la vie, go to Paris, it ain't five-star, it ain't me

Over-solid, keep it concrete (Ahh), I'ma bet it on your whole fee

Just don't switch sides, I could buy a piece, your wrist AP (Ahh)

Through the ups and downs and all the heat

Take a turn and tell you what it be

Backshots make you feel relief, anythin', just don't you ever leave

I guess I gotta go (Ooh)

I guess it's time to go

I gotta let you go

You keep me open (Ooh)

Gotta let you go, gotta let you go

Not sayin' Ason, duck of the disco

Or the disco duck, strictly hip-hop

I don't mind who's watchin', get to pushin' your weave back

I don't mind burnin’ bridges that my enemies, centipedes

Call that bitch my kid, she ain’t no kin to me

Gotta watch how you was built when you were round me, though

Give a fuck 'bout what you prefer, I’m too profound to go

Back and forth, with no average dork

It goes spells and sorcery, hug your rosaries

I don't mind competition, it is what it is

You don't mind second fiddle, that's why you a bitch

You don’t think for yourself and that's none of my business

You take it I dish it, I'm genie, three wishes

Better watch how you think out loud if it's 'bout me though

Got a car pulled up outside, they kill about me though

I don't need nobody help and you surround me though

Back and forth it go, it's hard, I know

I thought I told you before

It's not gon' end how you want

Not in the dark anymore

I might forgive it, I won't forget it
