about

[Dubbed - Liner Notes #PINKNBLUE]

I have a theory that love is just a combination of comfortability, courage, and communication. When any of those three areas are lacking, the foundational imbalance shakes us around until our partners become unbearable to be around. As I've matured, I began to take the blame upon myself for all the times I've ran away from an uncomfortable or damaged partnership. It was a toxic habit of mine to invest so much time, effort, and energy into something or someone to give up on it when I became dissatisfied. We all have to find the reasoning behind our relief. Only then can we repair ourselves and our relationships with each other actively at the moment of adversity. Your resolve after some space and reflection is more significant than our immediate reaction. I apologize if I ever blamed you alone for a hole we've dug together. That's a dub. - W.U

lyrics

[Dubbed - Lyric Sheet #PINKNBLUE]

catfish, on the bread
arachnid, on the web
fresh home from soccer sweaty
got my bath water ready
nothing with pesticides
but I still text and drive
upright my posture deadly
high notes & opera medleys
background cause ain't for front-in’
never tried I'm still triumphant
off you felt a real vibe comin’
real eyes always realize somethin’
still my juvie, still my youngin
had to let you live,
you had to let me go,
don’t regret you did,
you never call my phone
don’t gotta check who is
gotta step alone
that’s not a step too big,
leap too far,
hit at least two bars
don’t drink but she do,
she petite noir, you were thick is bricks
F this I need U

physical missed
difficult dips
pivotal shift
digital dripped
okay to cry
won't fade & die
I let it out
I stay inside

physical missed
difficult dips
pivotal shift
digital dripped

On the bread
On the wed
Soccer sweaty
Water ready
Pesticides
Text and drive
Posture deadly
Opera medleys
Aint for frontin’
Still triumphant
Real vibe comin’
Realize somethin’
Still my youngin’
Let you live
Let me go
Regret you did
Call my phone
Check who did . . .

Reppin L-E-F, T-N-
R-I, G-H, T & we -
live out Richmond city
real chill but we deal with intensity
tent city’s cause the rents plenty
fought taught to resent many
cops plot plant pinch any
bunch a ten penny’s
like a sin to be
a sore thumb
gotta boyfriend out of boredom
a fiancé out of fascination
guess love is not a war won
couldn’t be your spinal cord hun
couldn’t hold all the stress weight
had to back track & escape
now that’s that checkmate
