    Many people understand this song, it's just different for everyone. To understand the phrase, you have to be able to understand the song (in your own way of course.) For me personally I believe the song is about breakin' in the hymen, and resenting it because you've been around the block. I also believe the phrase represents the vibes you put off and the persona play out when trying to impress a girl you've just met. Really about body language and exchanged messages without words

  • first time i hear this song, had to log in to comment, felt like a found a gem.

  • Can people give me there interpretations to this track ? I personally think its about a naive girl and the narrator knows how corrupted he is and sees this innocent, blissful girl who he cant help but love, yet tries to keep away as his corruption will taint her beauty . Which could/probably is a metaphor for something completely different .

  • This is honestly the best fucking song i've heard in my lifetime.

  • never been a fan of his flow but his lyrics are genius.

  • This is a song about rape.

  • really great song.

    great music on the track also.

    rappers like this deserve more recognition.

  • @zerobeachskim So....we just think? To ourselves? Makes sense...

  • @szaagman i know why is that ? music industry shit
