RIP SZA"s GRANDMOTHER. YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. THANKS FOR YOUR WISE WORDS THAT HELPED ME THROUGH THIS YEAR. I LOVE YOU. WE LOVE YOU.

[@1hitw0nder71]

what did she say in this song

[@camrynology]

Oh Yeah Yeah she said: “You don’t have shit to say to me ion have shit to say to you... and stepped on.. you black heffa you.. you stand to ground.. cuz i feel the same way... if you don’t like me, you don’t have to fool/talk about me or treat me mean... i don’t have to treat you mean. i just stay out of your way. that’s how we work it out

[@barbarahardison6369]

wavycam Omg I'm now just finding out she pasted by looking at this comment. RIP. Ur granddaughter is such a legend in music. Rest in peace beautiful ♥❤💙

[@thisgallovesthehook684]

Girl yes. My grandmother passed a couple years ago, and I told my dad I don't have anyone to talk to since she's been gone. Hearing SZA's grandmother brought me some relief, because she sounds just like my grandmother.

[@planetxtk7567]

"Hoping I never find out that you anyone else. Cause I love you. Hoping you never find out who I am really am. Cause you'd never love me." This shit is deep as fuck.

[@kenisadenise]

Sacada Zero Best part of the song

[@EdiHooks0519]

Sacada Zero this shit here?! sooooo fucking real life!

[@planetxtk7567]

Ikr she is so real on this album. No abstract shit. She even said in an interview that she was gonna be more straightforward in this album. I love it. I think something people like about rnb is how straightforward the artists can be. She let's all the insecurities and shit float on the surface. Makes you feel like you're not alone.

[@FooeyMcgooey]

Sacada Zero maaan that line fucked me up

[@kaym7800]

Felt this song in my CORE sis. I’m too insecure in myself to believe anyone could ever love me for who I really am but at the end of the day I’m insecure because I don’t even know who I really am. Loving someone is vulnerable and opens you in ways that you’re not used to but I can’t ever believe he loves me because I keep my guard up too high to allow myself to be too vulnerable. I’m terrified of getting hurt and would rather pretend like I didn’t care Man sza. I ain’t even blitzed n u got me thinking this deep

[@beautyyxbrains]

Kay M maaaan! You hit it on the head I cry everytime I hear this song singing it because I feel this exact way

[@briannaharmon3234]

I absolutely love this album but especially this song. "Hoping I never find out that you anyone else. Cause I love you. Hoping you never find out who I am really am. Cause you'd never love me.".... Its ironic because she wants to love him as he is and yet she is too insecure to really open up to him.

[@pablopacifico]

really honest song about relationships today. So much social media and anxiety about how we present ourselves and how we all really are. its deep!

You ever remember listening to a song for the first time and within ten seconds of the song playing you’re sold on it? Ya, this one of them ❤

[@NaomiSimpsonhk]

Listening to this song feels like being loved on and hugged by my grandma 🥺 I just feel a feminine motherly energy attached to this song.

🎶 lie to me say my booty gettin' bigger when it ain't

[@Theocita]

Ore D real love right there lol 😍

[@poopboy7680]

"real love right there" except the song is about a problematic relationship.

[@poopboy7680]

but i guess everyone interprets it their own way...

[@poopboy7680]

so it's unfair for me to say anything

[@LoveNia_]

belly bear weird I don't interpret it as being about the relationship at all. I think it's all her. She's insecure she doesn't feel equivalent to the "big booty" girls she THINKS he wants. She's basically telling him YES! I want you to lie to me and say that my booty getting bigger even if it ain't because I NEED that type of reassurance. I need to feel worthy. I NEED YOU to make me feel worthy.

Of everything in this song, the closing instrumental at 2:23 hits me the most. Just makes me contemplate on all my experiences with love, attraction and emotion.

her music hit the soul. helped me pull through in 2019 when things where bad, i cheered listening to this

[@reginaperry489]

SCORPIO SHHHHHHH

[@emaneeew]

This song is exactly how I feel every day. I met a boy in person an I avoided seeing him again, cause I felt sensitive about my looks. An he told me I was beautiful, I thought if he saw the real me it wouldn't be the same anymore. I don't let that stop me, I try every day.

[@wheresierraat]

Monie W you're beautiful

[@Mama.973]

I like to imagine that the chorus is a conversation between her and her boothang. he says he loves her for who she is and she's saying that she hopes that he doesn't find out who she really is bc he might change his mind... beautiful ass song

[@dashaehall6426]

Thats what I was thinking too i love it soo much♥️

[@Tsunamipunani]

that’s how i️ feel, because i’m transgender and this song made me cry when i️ heard it

[@MunkeyyCANA]

It’s ironic because she is also saying she loves him for who he really is, but she’s too afraid of showing who she really is thinking that he won’t be able to love her true self

[@crescentmoondesigns7515]

Yeah because for her to show him the real her is to let her guard down and truly give in to the love that's the scariest part because he may love her but not the real her because the real her is deeper and more than he can handle

[@adamarigaleana3815]

rip grandma 💓

[@itssaaronn5292]

God I listened to this during my entire trip to Vancouver/The Island- hearing this song every time makes me remember the trip that saved my life, the memories and the happiness that it brings will never leave me as long as this song exists.

[@juanacosta47]

The thing that always gets me about this song is that while the second verse makes you think that she's getting all confesional about her thoughts on this lover who she thinks is being dishonest to her, I actually think the whole concept of this song (and of the Ctrl album on a more general sense) is about her "present" self talking to her "old" self as her "new" self. This "new" self, being that someone she needed in order to grow, to remind herself of her worth, someone that could help her overcome all of her own insecurities. And I really fuck with that idea. PS: I bet she was high as a kite when she thought of this; I can tell because usually when I get stoned, I start getting this kind of thoughts LMAO
