Letra de I Love You Boy - Russ

I love you more

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you more

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)

You grew up in a environment that was hostile and got wild

Arguments you heard as a small child had an effect

That left you with a lot to undo

Your first words was screamin' at your mom sayin', "Fuck you"

Imagine the visual, diaper on, already dealin' with the residual

Effects of an explosive father figure was difficult

Mama was miserable, his love felt conditional

You better be perfect, otherwise he'll be hypercritical

Belittle you 'til you nothin', yeah, hurts to listen

Neither parent knew how to regulate the nervous system

Dad was reactive, mom was fatalistic

No one to protect you, grandfather paid a visit

To take you and your siblings and your mama far away

Twenty-nine years later, she regrets that she stayed

You were doomed from the start, you were hurt and ostracized

There's a wound in your heart, survival mode, you traumatized (For real)

I love you more (I love you)

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you more

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)

The monster you created to protect the kid in you is hard to manage

Supreme confidence, deep cripplin' insecurity

The damage that's been done is explicit, an abusive inner critic

Nothin' that you ever do is really good enough, is it?

You didn't get validation from your dad

So you replaced him with the industry and started to rap

You wanted praise and acknowledgement and picked a profession that

People who look like you don't get, now the range of accomplishments

Bein' ignored, authoritative outside force

That you, yet again, apparently, aren't good enough for

All fueled you, your need to be liked and feel wanted consumed you

That's why you call a chick every night to come do you

Only to be left feelin' less than before

Didn't have the tools to manage stress, you at war

With yourself, you need love

Drinkin' to forget that bein' you is not enough

Overcompensatin' in interviews, tryna prove that you right

Maybe then you'll be liked

Tryna prove you're worthy of approval you weren't shown in your home

I'm sorry that I ever left you all alone

I love you more (I'm sorry)

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you more

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah)

You deserve a pat on the back and a round of applause

The sound of this song makes you think I'm not proud, but you wrong

Look how far you took it, international bookings, you gave your family a cushion

And through the hate, you kept pushin'

Knew you had people lookin' up to you, you held your composure

As hell moved close to you, you a soldier, it's a shock that you were ever sober

I never told you how I feel, I apologize

Lot of guys would've folded, I guess I'm not surprised

You prophesized this from the get go

Anything you wanted, went and got it 'cause you said so

Packs of women fightin' over you like Shevchenko

Seven figure checks, private jets, your best friends know

Your character, you proved that by sharin' your

Successes and blessings, but when you hurt, we hurt

Breakdowns mean that it's time for a rebirth, so

You carried me as far as you could go

Now it's time to say goodbye, before I leave, you should know though, yeah

I love you more

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you more

Than before

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
