this love triangle is messy as hell. tyler is a genius with his lyrics by telling us a story where no matter how much money or bitches in the world he has he can’t even get the one person he wants to love.
He literally outdid himself, normally if a song is longer than 5 minutes I tap out, but this song is 8 and a half minutes and when it ended it made thirst for more , it was so smooth & enticing .
@@audreyloire3131 have you even listened to a tribe card quest? the only thing similar is the instrumental. you sound like an old head bro, move on bro. I aint gone say that this song is a Shakespeare masterpiece, but it's definitely a great song with some depth to it. the story of a troubled homewrecker.
The lyrics hit hard. I forgot I was listening to an 8 minute song. I didn't think it was going to be that long, but I didn't notice when it was, because I was kind of enraptured with all of the different angles to this increasingly fragmented and chaotic dynamic being pieced together. People bitch that hip-hop is shallow, all about money, drugs, sex, etc. Sometimes I think they either don't listen, or just lack the depth to understand it. A lot of times, there is that uncanny valley of "should this be glorified?" and that's kinda the point. Rappers nowadays are just sayin it outright lol. So that people can understand. I'd put Tyler at the forefront of this little trend of just blunt, but dichotomous honesty. That's always been hip hop. Full of people trying to break through something and be understood.
Damn... when you get that feeling that Tyler wrote a song for you because it's like he is describing the very specific situation you are currently going through 10x better than you could yourself... this shit hit a little too close to home for me.
@@JefffSantos keep your head up king. move on and keep your eyes and mind open. Someone else out there is waiting to acknowledge and appreciate what you offer in a significant other.
The progression of how Tyler deals with his emotions especially with women has grown exponentially in front of us. From Sarah to She then to Her and now… Wilshire, which is a masterpiece, really shows how much this person has grown and it’s cool and weird feeling to witness
so raw, i love this. like he knows he be in the wrong but like he aint feel that sorry cause the chemistry they had together was something out of this world. it's messed up, ofc, but it's like, idk.. beautiful in a way? sad too? this track makes me feel lotta things
crazy how tyler shared his entire love story with this girl in 8 minutes but it felt way longer because of his insane story telling abilities and lyricism.
@@eastmanfeatures5412 nah he’s talking about a woman dawg. bros over (hoes), the part where he talks about being in the car with her boyfriend (HAKUNA MATATA)
"All the morals and power you have just vanish when a certain energy is nearing And those feelings got so much gravity and it's out of your control That made me realize adults don't know what they doin' either We're all just children"
I wish Tyler posted a whole album with songs similar to wilshire or a fucking rap audiobook where he just tells stories abt his relationships and heartbreaks. I would pay big money for his storytelling skills
Kinda fucked up tho. Like Tyler fucked his girl and is still trying to come out like her protector. Same shit like “if my stepdad ever puts me in a self defense situation I’ll shoot him in the head”
@@algoreshouldhavewon8995 He didn't fuck her, just fell in love with her. "Crossed the line, crossed the line, crossed the- nah, we never did that We never crossed the line, but he got every right to be a lil' pissed off"
I don't think the guy o girl he fell in love is different to the other albums, This lyrics have some references to "Glitter" or "Are we Still Friends" so yup i think Tyler has been writing about the same person since Flower Boy.
Tyler's delivery and flow on this song are just pristine. you can hear he's moved on from this story in the beginning, but as the song progresses it's clear he's getting more invested reminiscing about the time he spent with this girl. it's just mind-blowing to me how he achieved this just by slightly altering his voice tone
RIGHT im saying though like he starts off chill and then it goes to more aggressive but not like crazy aggressive just enough to let the listener know that it was real feelings there. damn i love t.
To me it sounds like “I’d rather hold your hand and have a cool hand shake” but everywhere seems to be “than”. It doesn’t matter too much but I was just wondering
[Intro] Ahem, fuck, yeah [Verse 1] Met you on a Saturday, knew it was somethin' soon as you spoke it Eye fuckin' across the table, don't think anybody noticed You asked me if I was comin' the city you from Maybe we should kick it, I was interested, that would be dumb If I denied long legs, good ears, great taste Smell good, sense of humor, obvious a good face And we clicked, we was at each other's hips I ain't even wanna fuck 'cause your presence was enough You and I make sense, you stayed back at my telly We was chattin' 'til mornin', the vibrations was heavy I wasn't drownin' or yawnin', that's when I told you my feelings You told me you felt the same, but you got homie you dealin' with Damn, I didn't know, that's a bit unexpected But I get it, it's whatever, least I can do is respect it We still gon' kick it and check-in like nothin' could ever stop it The problem is he my friend, but if I'm honest, I'm really hopin' you drop him It's morals I really have, it's lines I could never cross But you got somethin' that make all them good intentions get lost I try to keep it together, never felt this way We spent 'bout two weeks together, only skipped one day And they say, "Bros over hoes," I'm like, "Mm, nah, hey" I would rather hold your hand than have a cool handshake But whatever, we still could be friends, it could still be chance I'ma play it cool, we got somethin', we cannot pretend, uh, uh [Interlude] It's, it's like starting a race And then when you take off, they like, "No, no, it's not a end," ha It was too late and shit [Verse 2] FaceTimin', it ain't 'bout nothin', you laughin', packin' your luggage It's nothin' incriminatin', but please delete our discussions You hit me with a look and replied like, "Duh, bitch" Don't want your man to think that we creepin' behind his back Crossed the line, crossed the line, crossed the- nah, we never did that Though I haven't seen him in months, shit, it's rare he never hit back Anyway, convince him to bring you to me so we could kick it Right in front of his lenses, nothing here is malicious You sat by me in that movie, we went outside for them doobies We walkin' off when we talk, man, that nigga not fuckin' stupid He see it, he know it's somethin' we frontin' like, "Ha-ha-ha" Whenever we "Ha-ha-ha," we subtly press his buttons Not on purpose, but, man, I found my purpose If I fuck our friendship up for you, I think it's worth it But, nah, I can't do that, that nigga don't deserve it And plus y'all got depth, I'm just the nigga on the surface, for real Surface [Interlude] I said surface, like, 'cause they got roots Like, I'm the new nigga But you know, they be fuckin', haha Yeah, yeah [Verse 3] Didn't see you a couple weeks, think he want you away from me Know y'all argue 'bout if you mad, you met him before you met me I feel guilty, but not as much as I should I tried to have that self-control, but not as much as I could I been down for days, you in my city and I can't see your face I can't eat knowin' you with him and not at my place I never been jealous of another man Especially when I have everything I want at hand Except you, you [Interlude] You know, I got every damn car, multiple cribs But it's like, "No, I want that," ha [Verse 4] He left for some days, I cleared out my sched', I cleared out my head You dropped off at mine, I say that we fled, "No, you pick a place" Week in Tulum, a week in Capri, or die right here As long as you with me, I'll be at peace, huh You was supposed to go back home to see your bestie I told you I can't hit that zone, too busy next week You was like, "Hmm, I'll stay a week, she'll get over that" Seven days with me, your nigga like, "Where the fuck you at?" Dirtyin' my bakin' pots, tennis at my mama's spot Chauffeured in the Rolls, the back entrance for them restaurants Parks playin' chess games, givin' wigs pet names Manicures, night swims, Gerard providin' methane Shoppin' 'til we droppin', what you coppin'? See, the price is not a option It's investments 'cause your smile is the profit to me I know around him, you gotta act like you not into me I know your answer, but you gotta keep it honest with me Said you can't fully be into me 'cause you with him Then why the fuck when we link it's like he doesn't exist? And y'all know that we friends, but we both aware that it's more Everything I got, if you say the word, then it's yours The only thing I'm missin' in life, I know you could be it And everyone around me that care about me can see it I could fuck a trillion bitches every country I done been in Men or women, it don't matter, if I seen 'em, then I had 'em But with you, it's a feeling 'cause we twinnin' and we matchin' You stayed in the car when I went on date with that actress Whole time I'm eatin', I couldn't wait to get back In the back of the car with you and talk about who we are You told me when you with me, it's like heroin Told me that your confidence went up since we befriended, and Told me that you didn't wanna hurt him while we doin' this Told me this a awkward situation and you just wanna be through with it Told me every time you not with him, it started problems, and Told me every time you not with me, you always ponder What type of sweater I'm wearin', what music have I been finding Girl, you know that I'ma play it whenever, that's what we bonded over You said you told him the truth and you never lied Now he lookin' at you with them eyes We never crossed the line, but he got every right to be a lil' pissed off He picked you up, y'all got an argument, he got his shit off My energy like, "Get lost," your energy just want peace I couldn't even tell you his energy 'cause he don't speak He ain't even call you his bitch Until he see me make you smile, that nigga threatened as shit I'm in the wrong, though I picked you up, your energy off Your lips really dry, something is off You ask if I gotta, I ask if you gotta We trip on our words, nobody is lyin', hakuna matata We sat in the car and cried for a hour My shirt look like a showerhead got it, we called it off I'll skip the details but that night I seen hell You was in a room I was payin' for, I took three Ls No, I didn't sleep well, woke up and my knees fell They buckled to the ground, I cannot walk, shit, I need 'Vil Next day I'm drivin' 'round the city with no destination back-up Water in my eyes kept falling like Niagara Vill right beside me makin' sure I didn't crash or Do something heinous 'cause I'm emotionally jabbed up You checked every box, I thought it was it Felt like I got led on and pushed off a cliff No, I'm in the wrong, that was a friend No, fuck that, the energy we had, never again will find it You in the wrong, gotta remind you 'bout the times that you stepped Gotta rewind it- aw, fuck We talkin' 'bout our kinks, real cautious with the links You don't do that type of shit when you in relationship And you a hundred with your mate, so don't go actin' like no saint 'Cause it's a two-way street, and shit, you knew what I was on And while that nigga out and gone, shit, you was loungin' in my home Shit, I even let you meet my mama and y'all got along But shit, I take my L, though, it's not fun You still got your nigga and still had your fun Shit, I can't even look at you and think about bad words That's why I called and said we couldn't end this on bad terms We straight like a bad perm, we'll always be good friends And laugh about it on a sandy beach while our back burns, huh This my perspective, this how I feel I ain't fabricate nothin', I kept it real I told you I love you and always will And if he ever put his hands on you, promise I'll get him killed, true True, true, true, yeah
I swear I always listened to that Song on Spotify and didnt Look up how long it is until like a week ago and I was so surprised abt it being 8 mins. Ion know I alway thought it was like 3 to 4 minutes smh.
this song is literally free therapy, every time i listen to this song i listen to the lyrics and relate to the story being told and feel like im actually in those past moments being reflected
relatable as fuck. This album is crazy good. I feel the same feelings as Tyler Baudelaire. I also tried to take somebody else girl, cause we connected, and I knew I was in the wrong, but my ego was so big that I wanted her no matter what. I realized that with her, all the material things didn't matter to me even though I had everything at my disposition ( I am not a millionaire, but I can afford myself a good materialistic life) The situation got me really jealous, angry, and overall my ego got destroyed. I didn't understand why she choose him, even though we connected ( or at least I thought so in that way) and I could give her more material things than him. I thought I was better than him, and when she turned to not decide for me, as I said before, my ego got deflated completely. I felt that I was a shitbag, maybe because I kinda was in a sense ( kinda narcissistic and materialistic) And the worst part is that I couldn't get mad with her because she was in her right to decide who she stayed with. I felt really frustrated and emotionally broken. And at the present I know I was in the wrong. I think these types of productions give a true connection of listener-artist. Even though everyone can relate to a bad bunny song or a drake song about partying, getting laid ( I'm not saying these artists are bad) I think what Tyler did here is unique and that not many artists do. Touching feelings or events that we don't usually talk about in our daily, but many of us can relate in a certain way. He expresses a complete and relatable thought process and experience, and I think that is why an 8 MINUTE song is so easy to revisit and here.
I feel you at work I got connected to this girl who liked me as well , great humor, similar hobbies and interests but she had a ex she was dealing with and days later she decided to stay and fix things
This and “ sweet / I thought you wanted to dance” are the top two tracks for me rn. This is track is so smooth and it tells a story. Like a mini Igor, I love it.
If you have only listened to this on speakers, make sure to listen to it using headphones as well, it's like Tyler is spinning around you the whole song and somehow it's very calming.
The complexity of love told in this track is near genius. I have never heard somebody as musically creative as Tyler become so precise instrumentally and lyrically to explain how love is transcendent and cannot be easily explained or shown
This is without a doubt the best lyrics I've ever heard. The fact that it speaks to you so well is incredible. Props to Tyler for creating such a beauty.
I've been BEEN playing the respectful friend, but fuck it. This song is exactly how I feel and where I stand. I want her and I'm done worrying "what if" cause we know we are for each other
This song is the most underappreciated and underrated on the album its 8 minutes of straight heat, the lyrics the beat. I need a music video for this one or for him to perform it
Tyler is always progressing his music and doing his own thing that's what makes his music and style so special to so many people! I love it so much!!!!!
I hate how this is the most relatable song that Tyler has ever wrote. I used to be in a situationship with my ex girlfriend (2 years after break up) and she broke off with her bf at the time. We used to be exactly how Tyler writes the things he and the girl used to do, but, the person that she broke off at the time is a guy that i know and both my ex and him missed each other. I used to brag about how i "took" his girl and how i'm "better" than him, but she never liked that. She didn't feel exactly how i felt for her. They didn't even break up, they seperated, and they both got back together. The lyrics and instrumental in this song are exactly how i felt in that situation. It's so eerie how this song is how i felt, and how i feel about her now. "I can't even look at you and think about bad words That's why i called and said we couldn't end this in bad terms We straight like a bad perm We'll always be good friends And laugh about it on a sunny beach while our back burns" Wow.
2 years later and everyday I play it this song feels like the first day I heard it on the night of the CMIYGL album drop. it is so amazing. The beat gets me in some zone.
The most wolf album I’ve ever heard. It’s like a rollercoaster ride through the internal aesthetic of Tyler Baudelaire. An auditory persona perfected to the T. Gap tooth T, that is.
Honestly this hits too close to home especially when youre in this situation the fact that he wished he could feel bad for his friend but he cant makes so much sense
