Lil B- Beat the Odds

Lil B- I'm the Devil

02. Cry Like This

If you divorce I’m Gay from the controversy of its title (which may never happen because controversy is more popular than music these days) you can process it as just another Lil B album, a mature effort of the Angels Exodus and Illusions of Grandeur lineage. Sample-driven boom bap production (okay one of the samples is a Goo Goo Dolls sample, but still), personal, sociopolitcally charged, traditional and mostly lucid rhymes. Very few mentions of swag or pretty bitches or tiny jeans. In fact, he doesn’t even talk of his gayness (or straightness) once on the album. But maybe that was his plan all along—shock the world the title, only to have them come and witness his straightforward serious rap shit.

LIL B - Unchain Me

[Verse 1]
You talk about the stories that you write at night
I get lost in every line
You say it’s nothing special, but to me it shines
Like little pieces of your mind
You hide your face when the screen goes red
Scared of the ghost, pull the blanket instead
And your laugh, yeah, that sound feels right
seeing you makes the long weeks fly right by

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t owe me anything
I don’t want to change a thing
I get happy when you say my name
It echoes in my chest like rain

[Chorus]
I’ll wait, not ‘cause I think you’ll fall in love
Just ‘cause no one else feels close enough
You make the world feel soft again
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it
I’ll stay, not to cross that line again
Just to see you smile now and then
That’s the best reward I’ll ever get
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it

[Verse 2]
watching movies with you and
You hide from the screen when the monster shows
But I see that light behind your pose
You say it’s dumb, but it’s cute to me
How you flinch, then laugh nervously
I ain’t here to make it weird
I just love when you’re right here
Every word you say feels right
You make peace out of my night

[Bridge]
No pressure, no weight, no rush
I just like your kind of rush
The way your thoughts all sound like dreams
The way you bring calm to the noise in me
I’ll still care, I’ll still show up
You don’t need to feel the same
I just like the way you say my name

[Chorus]
I’ll wait, not ‘cause I think you’ll fall in love
Just ‘cause no one else feels close enough
You make the world feel soft again
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it
I’ll stay, not to cross that line again
Just to see you smile now and then
That’s the best reward I’ll ever get
And I still feel it, yeah, I still feel it

[Outro]
You got that glow I can’t undo
Every word you say feels new
And I still feel it... yeah, I still feel that thing with you
