you can just use a mp3 converter and add it in spotify from files on your device, this way you can have all the songs that aren't on spotify playing via spotify, it only works on the device you have it downloaded on though

Facts

[@jobelthirty1294]

Betrayal is the worst of offenses, Caesar said it best. "Et tu, brut?" As he was being murdered, his best friend, Brutus, joins in and they continue to stab him to death. He utters, "You too, Brutus?" Quite literally stabbed in the back. Betrayal hurts the most, Gambino. We understand your pain.

[@KKH101]

Caesar actually said 'Es tu, Brute, contra me?" but your point if damn right

[@driplessgolf9057]

Oof t-poses YEETs away

[@TokenOne93]

Both of those variations are taken/adapted from a Shakespeare play... It's not known whether he actually said anything at all or not, however one of the options was in Greek, "Kai su, Teknon" which is "You too, child?" More than likely he just groaned and/or screamed

[@goheezy6744]

[@quinnswennsrude8568]

Gambino is way to underated, like his lyrics are not only flowy but intelligent. Intelligence is hard to find in Hip-Hop nowadays.

[@christineonwubiko7499]

this is my favorite song right now it has such a deep meaning.

[@52panthers89]

2:09 im gonna go with "yoga class" double class. the sense, it makes none of it.

"double class"??? ugh... look, I can't say this ENOUGH to young people. If the lyric does not make any sense to you - go look it up, or ask someone else, please. some of his songs are so good, and some of them are... well, like this. he's evolving and for the better! P.S. - Yoga class. It's where people stretch their body parts to stay healthy.

[@AnythingElse417]

Never gonna click that "show" button.Worst mistake of my life See?you are so curious and now ur trapped. Ur crazy..

[@andypianoman]

Wow I haven't even gone out with this girl but I like her we been texting but she honestly doesn't want to date me because I am an atheist and her christian belief is to try and convert me and force me to go to church because she wants a church bf. I kindly say no but she keeps pushing it and now I just got this song in my head because through all the fights in person and through long txt messages we had I know she is never going to date me if I don't change and I'm not changing just to try and go on a date with her. This is why I hate religion it makes people close their minds to the possibilities that life has to offer.

[@tobyhawkins7593]

Bro that's a crazy situation there, but if you don't believe then you shouldn't be forced to. She's a Christian and your an atheist. Probably not going to work, but believe me that Christianity will not close you off to life offers. There's just so many false prophets out here that want you to believe that Christianity is just some boring religion where you sit in church all the time and don't get to have fun... That's not true at all. Just follow your heart and believe.

[@mcordice72]

Fuck her if she cant be with you for who you are then leave her alone

[@maxcalderon5620]

Reread that last sentence, "This is why I hate religion it makes people close their minds to the possibilities that life has to offer." You're using your lack of religion as an excuse to not try to bridge that spiritual gap that she wants you to fill. Tell her how much she means to you but if you like her that much, you should at least try to relate to her, church isn't going to make you a "bible-thumping Christian", I promise you. I know a lot of Atheists who go to church just b/c they enjoy it.

[@andypianoman]

Max Calderon No but the thing is she is trying to force me to go to church and I wont go because I have personal issues with how churches use religion to screw with people just to get money from them.

Okay y'all noticed 2 of those mistakes but what about "So let me quit while I'm ahead like a penis. If I never was in love with you I hope you know I'm meaning it", makes no sence right ? Thats because it goes "So let me quit while I'm ahead like a penis tip, I never was in love with you I hope you know I'm meaning it" Just wondering how nobody commented on that.
