And then, after making boat-loads of money off that breakout single, they likely splurge because they think they’re going to rule the industry. Or at least that’s the mentality.

What many fail to realize is that so many artists sound alike that it’s hard to continue distinguishing oneself and putting out unique music but still remain popular. Were I you, I’d save my money, homeboy

This tends to happen a lot: a rapper makes his big record and then doesn’t let anyone hear the end of it. They’ll be bragging about that song in the afterlife.

This tends to happen even if the song isn’t actually a top 40 hit. I know I’m definitely guilty of it myself, but this is the trend. Rappers love to brag even when there’s nothing to really be bragged about.

In the bridge, our heroine wonders about it all. Was there truly any point in confessing? Will the relationship exist afterward, or is it going to die? Will the other person even notice? Will they care? Regardless, the pain will be there for a while, and some people take longer to heal than others. This bridge is for those who cannot move on very quickly.

He thought that he had a good shot with her, but Cupid’s gift of love has become little more than a burden now. Not a blessing, but a curse.

An allusion to the trail of tears in which many Native Americans were forced from their homes to walk through the cold earth, Baz has been banished from his own comfort zone to walk alone until he can either pick himself up or find another girl. Hopefully Cupid doesn’t mess with his head again!

The truth hurts, doesn’t it? He doesn’t want to think about what has truly happened. She has, in fact, rejected him, claiming that love is bulls**t and that hurts him deeply since he is opening himself to her.

He is lost. He cannot figure out what exactly to do without her, but he has little choice. He is devastated! Truly heartbreaking :‘(

An allusion to the Common song “I Want You”. This girl has crossed his mind a lot, and he can’t seem to get his mind off of her.

But the void still exists. No matter what the reality of the relationship, the heart cries out for the void to be filled. There is a gaping hole in their chest and the only thing that can fill it is love. They cannot see themselves living without it.

The chorus is sung not by a man, but by a woman! The lovely Dillon Panye soulfully sings from the female side of unrequited love. Or is this Baz’s feminine side stepping in?

Our hero/heroine cannot sleep without the love of their partner (or desired partner). They think about being together all of the time, at night. But the sad realization that it is not meant to be is devastating to them. They are “cursed to live without” the one they love. Damned Cupid with his arrows!
