I'm Mad At Me
Descrição
A faixa "I'm Mad At Me" de Trippie Redd mergulha na complexidade de um relacionamento tumultuado, oscilando entre a frustração e um apego persistente. A música explora o conflito interno de quem fala, que se culpa por ter permitido que o dinheiro e a fama corrompessem a parceira, transformando-a em alguém fútil e ingrata. Há uma clara dicotomia entre o valor do materialismo, abraçado pela parceira, e o desejo por uma conexão mais autêntica e "apaixonada". Apesar das mágoas e da percepção de "red flags", a música revela uma relutante dependência emocional, com o eu-lírico expressando um desejo contínuo pela presença da pessoa amada, mesmo reconhecendo os próprios erros e a natureza destrutiva da relação. É um retrato honesto da angústia de amar alguém que a pessoa percebe como mudada para pior, enquanto se arrepende do próprio papel nesse processo.
Letra
You make me feel so nice (so nice)
Only with you by my side (side, side, side)
Yeah, lookin' back in the past, that shit was bad, I mean past tense
You get lit and burn bridges, and it ain't the last ditch
You rather be mad at me than act happy and live rich
Ungrateful as shit
You must've forgot what bein' poor like
That's my fault, I'll let you adapt to the tour life
Shit ain't bright no more, it's more like a sore sight
You don't adore life, you like expensive things, I like trips and drinks
My dream's really alive, you just a part of the life
Pardon me, I'm regressing back to the guy who was never particularly nice
This part of me ice, I try to be cordial, I feel like I coarse through
You said you would act right, I wish I recorded you (by my side)
Yeah, rich people problems, mansion full of attitude
I enable shit, I ain't even really mad at you
You was such a good girl, look what a little cash'll do (pssh)
Oh, the wonders a little class'll do
Comin' through the crib, you was passive, like I was passin' through
I'm lovin' a little passion, boo
Your birthday suit is real fashionable
I'm willin' to let the past just be the past with you
'Cause if we talkin' red flags, then we done passed a few
And my worst choice is gettin' attached to you
You make me feel so nice (so nice, uh)
Only with you by my side (Tunechi, side, side, side)
Look, I ain't never leave a bitch that didn't want me to stay
Told you if you get me, bitch, you better play keep-away
I know you still be checkin' on a nigga like a meter maid
Heard you been stressin', lookin' like you ain't eat in days
Gone in a heartbeat, and baby, we a beat away
Every time the beat a break, it's beating like a 808
Mama say we better pray, yeah, what would Jesus say?
You used to take my breath away, now I'm tryna breathe again
I was tryna see the light, suddenly, I see the shade
And you know I treat you right, and you know I beat your breaks
And you know I eat it right, and you know I clean the plate
I was tryna leave the life, lookin' for a clean escape
I don't think she thinkin' right, she thinkin' I ain't thinkin' straight
She think I'm tryna link tonight, I think she say she free today
Shit ain't A-Okay, but it might be okay
But either way, you need to stay
By my side (by my side, baby)
By my side, by my side
I need you, baby
Only with you by my side
By my side, baby
Only with you by my side
You make me feel so nice (so nice)
Only with you by my side (side, side, side)
By my side (by my side, baby)
By my side
Only with you by my side
