Testo Meant It When I Said It - Oddisee
Testo della canzone Meant It When I Said It (Oddisee), tratta dall'album The Good Fight
You remember when I would message you
And you reply but I feel like I wasn't getting through
Was set to prove I was the better dude
You had a situation and I was patient on when to make a move
As was I single, afraid to lose you, I played the fool
Though she was made for me, I was made for you, that's the basic truth
You showed me upfront, but me I told you later
Discovered it on your own now you think I'm some sort of player
But I was just delaying the news
And I would use your strength to break what was already broke
Confused, but girl you made it clear to me
Acting out of a fear to see
And never I did any bruise
Had to confess and I proved
I made it loose as I cut a tie
Drowning my sea of lies
Pray I'm hung out to dry
Rest assured
Check the door, met you out front of your store
And I meant it when I said two way more than more
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
You know it
When I moved to Brooklyn, I said it wouldn't change me
Merlin my DNA see, then I just go where the pay be
If I was in computers I'm moving to where they take me
But Cali ain't got winter and that's the feeling that made me
My brothers back at home be like "homie get me a deal"
I told 'em it's a promise and when I'm on that I will
I believed that I would but wasn't sure how I could
Time passed, perfect the craft, they ain't keep up with the skill
Yet they message me still
What I said I ain't forget it
It's just hard to keep you first when you were second
And that ain't how I meant it, what I mean ain't what I texted
And people get defensive and you mean but you been stressing
My generation communicating without emotion
It make it easier to agree to stuff in the moment
You said you had a show when I wrote
You that I'd be sliding on through
When I replied it was a lie that was true, but
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
You know it
When my hobby turned into an obsession
Then my obsession turned into a career
But the pay was a jobless profession
Name on the door I was a glorified volunteer
But you gotta start somewhere right?
Was in the basement on a unclear flight
Going somewhere slow, so what's the program?
Masa got some money, respectfully answer "no man"
Got a couple ounces, the customers came and went
Section 8 the house and you best to come up with rent
Wasn't the smartest move, it was better than having no plan
Cut that out as quick as I started
Back on my mission to be a artist
All I could see is me somewhere foreign
And people pouring to venues, I rap over instrumentals
I made in my residential to avoid your mama ignoring
Said I'd send her flowers for pushing me and enduring
It's time for the court to rule
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
I meant it when I said it
You know it
You know it
You know it
