Dear Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1: Laws]
Oh boy, boy, well isn’t this so awkward?
I made you see these others as softer than Quilted Northern
And now you reminiscin' when I put out funny pages
Oh, wasn’t it amazin'?
Oh, you were too busy hatin'
I heard you takin' pictures of the stages I rock
And gettin' the images re-sized for framin', why not?
It’s the closest you gonna get
Since the people figured I’m hot
And now you see my aim
I never wasted my shot so kick rocks boy

[Hook]
I guess you never knew, dear boy
What you had found
I guess you never knew, dear boy
That she was just the cutest thing around
I guess you never knew what you had found dear boy

[Verse 2: Laws]
Oh boy, boy, you talkin' to my exes
Y'all both got somethin' in common
‘Cause you misrepresented
I gave you all I had but it was never enough
And now that I’m breakin' out, you tryin' to lock me in cuffs
See, I was your biggest fan but you saw it as a weakness
I couldn’t focus proper
Too busy pickin' up pieces of my heart and self esteem
But now I’m back together, I’m sorry all you chickens
Ain’t mean to ruffle your feathers but I’m here boy
[Hook]

[Verse 3: Laws]
Isn’t it crazy that in the beginning
You hated and managed to sit by the throne?
If there was any indication you was a faker
I wouldn’t have picked up the phone
I would have left you alone
Use a picture of you for target practice to get in my zone
I’m goin' Sierra Leone, that's diamond
Get on my level, I’m a pioneer but I never will settle
Found it so precious but I do not meddle in business
That doesn’t pertain to my financial fitness
I do it for digits, I do it for fam so they can be livin'
But if you want defense, I never will pivot
I’m takin' the shot, stunnin' the crowd
You thinkin' of speakin', I’m gunnin' out loud
I’m not a complainer ‘cause some of you foul
You wanted the task that come with the crown, oh boy

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
