New release from The 508 project by Joyner Lucas. 508-507-2209 Instagram: @joynerlucas Bookings: bit.ly/1N4C2iF Available on Spotify and iTunes: atlantic.lnk.to/508-507-2209
song follows a girl’s perspective as she reflects on her comfort-seeking behavior, and how these relationships evolved as they grew and soured. Each of the three verses detail a relationship in the her life - her relationship with her mother, her boyfriend-turned-pimp, and with heroin injections.
I never met him, nor will I ever. But Joyner Lucas, you actually saved my life, from I'm sorry to this. From losing my family to losing my girlfriend. Your music is keeping me from giving up, and I thank you.
I’m 16 rn and was living with my abusive stepdad and dead beat mom alone after my sister left, finally ran away around a year ago and Joyner’s music helps me cope with the fact my mom doesn’t care about me. I don’t know where I would be without his music, helped me get through a lot 🙏 🔥
this song speaks to me about being escape and accepted. we all look for a way out of our situation. It's about how you look at it. never look negative about your situation cause there is always a better road it's just if u can see it. Not in front of you or easy to see cause sometimes the easiest way isnt the right way but just a way.
Allusive Danny literally! So many notification gang comments, like is no one gonna talk about how good this song is? He changes the perspective of the person telling the story multiple times in the track..
[Verse 1] I wonder if you often think about what you became Do you ever wonder if you ever truly changed? Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain I watch you raise me as a baby so over protective Smiling at me, blowing kisses while you hold me restless When you told me that you loved me I can tell you meant it And it never took for you to try to ever show your efforts But we was connected through the heavens though I felt your soul And that alone is just a feeling some will never know I bump my head and you consoled me as you held me close And I wonder where went wrong but I guess I'll never know Cause ever since I grown I felt like you been kind of giving up And it seems like everything I do is just not good enough Shit, we don't have the type of bond we used to have before And I ain't mad at all I just wonder if you recall the day that I was born, when you used to sing to me like [Hook] La la la la la la la la (You used to sing to me like) La la la la la la la la la (You used to sing to me) La la la la la la la la (Yeah, you used to sing to me like) La la la la la la la la [Verse 2] I wonder if you often think about what you became And do you ever wonder if you ever truly changed? Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame Nigga I need some help, cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain My father died when I was five and I ain't cry at all I never knew him he just disappeared and I'm not sure if he knew I would grow up to be ruthless, I don't hide my flaws A young woman with a body and a mind like yours, cause we a lot alike I mean that's prolly' why I felt connected And when we met I was so innocent but slowly tempted When you told me that you loved me boy I know you meant it You sucked the soul out of my body with your own intentions Now I'm stuck inside a life of prostitution, no discretion And all you do is beat my ass and leave me slowly breathless But we don't have the type of bond we used to have before And I ain't mad at all, I just wonder if you recall when I laid in your arms and you used to sing to me like [Hook] La la la la la la la la (You used to sing to me like) La la la la la la la la la (You used to sing to me) La la la la la la la la (Yeah, you used to sing to me like) La la la la la la la la [Verse 3] I wonder if you often think about what I became And do you ever wonder if I ever truly changed? Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame Listen, I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain I used to watch movies about you a whole lot before I read about you back in school when I was kind of bored Now I'm ashamed and embarrassed I truly got involved Cause you gave me a feeling some shit that I never felt before And I ain't trying to make excuses but inside I'm torn And you was there for me at times I couldn't find the lord And all I had to do was inject you and lock the doors So I can feel some type of peace while I dreamed and go watch the stars And that alone is just a feeling some will never know But now I'm rotting, it's not the same as I felt before We don't have the type of bond we used to have before But I ain't mad at all I just wonder if you recall sticking you in my arms when you used to sing to me like [Hook] La la la la la la la la (You used to sing to me like) La la la la la la la la la (You used to sing to me) La la la la la la la la (Yeah, you used to sing to me like) La la la la la la la la
As a musician I can say these lyrics are all about his life struggling with relationships and addictions. It deals with lots of emotion and I'm glad I got to hear this
I’m not a Joyner expert but I believe he’s just telling a story. If you pay attention, each verse is about a different person. Especially the second. That’s about a woman. Just saying.
Dear Joyner, I feel like this song is really unrated cause every time I listened to it I love it. It really hits me as well as all you’re other songs. An I mean all. You are a rapper with a story but not no fake shit, you hit real deal problems man an I think your the greatest for it. Thank you.
I'm so glad em featured him to introduce him to the rap game and the people who doesn't know him , man em is rap god keeping Hiphop alive with his music and by bringing real talents to the game , Lucas is definitely in my top 10 I already heard most of his songs by now
Swear down. Been listening to this song since the album dropped. Not bored of any of Joyner’s music. He’s a god and deserves way more credit than he’s got. He won’t see this comment but keep going with making your insane music 🙏🏽👍🏽👌🏽
Bro this song literally brought me to tears last night. I had a father who was there when I was born but was into drugs. I never knew him, my mother had to take me away and she met a new man. He wasn’t my blood but was my true father. He cared for me since I was 2 and my brother was born when I was 5. Him and my mom split when I was about 11 and he passed when I was 16. He taught me everything about being a man and I miss him so bad. The most genuine hard working guy and he messed up. I have zero connection to my blood father and it hurts me that he lives while the greatest man I ever knew had to die. R.I.P dad I love you dearly
This song is like my theme song whenever im hurt or whenever im down and low. Ive been a fan ever since i heard im sorry. I appreciate the art form and just appreciate the art
Just needed to pop in to say this is the most underrated song by the most underrated artists of our generation, I listen to this all the time on Apple Music and I started listening to it when it first came out, Joyner is the best rapper at telling stories in his music and he does it in a way that makes you feel the pain of the person in the story, love your music Joyner, never stop the grind.
On the 8th track of the album, the song follows a girl’s perspective as she reflects on her comfort-seeking behavior, and how these relationships evolved as they grew and soured.

Whenever i sit down to write something, I turn on Joyner and listen to a few tracks and im in the zone for the evening. Thanks for being refreshingly dope at what you do my man

Anthony Johnson I post my dad when I was 4. I know the pain joyner Lucas feels
Anthony Johnson because he speaks to the real
First and third verse makes me cry. I feel the same. Clean from dope for 7years now. Thank you God!
I teared up just on how relatable this song is
I’m 16 rn and was living with my abusive stepdad and dead beat mom alone after my sister left, finally ran away around a year ago and Joyner’s music helps me cope with the fact my mom doesn’t care about me. I don’t know where I would be without his music, helped me get through a lot 🙏 🔥
Damn bruh same age as you dealing with an abusive mom RN sorry that happened to you....
you're very brave, I hope you're doing well
this song speaks to me about being escape and accepted. we all look for a way out of our situation. It's about how you look at it. never look negative about your situation cause there is always a better road it's just if u can see it. Not in front of you or easy to see cause sometimes the easiest way isnt the right way but just a way.
I think it's about heroine too
Patrick Cristaudo it def is
jamaal robertson I think it's a heroin addict
Most of the comments are irrelevant to the song, but can we just appreciate what a great song this is
Allusive Danny literally! So many notification gang comments, like is no one gonna talk about how good this song is? He changes the perspective of the person telling the story multiple times in the track..
BLACKND ikr he's the best rapper ever even better than Eminem
I cannot get over that hook, it just swoops u right in. 🤣🤣🤣
Just like a lullaby lol He's truly talented. Just the hook itself sends chill vibes to your mind
Nedson Monteiro addicted it's a feel good sad song crazy
A feel good sad song. I'm addicted
My neighbor loves this song. He even threw a brick into my window last night to hear it better.
lmfaoo
🤣🤣🤣🤣
who else is just going down their feed one song at a time through all these new tracks lol
[Verse 1]
I wonder if you often think about what you became
Do you ever wonder if you ever truly changed?
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
I watch you raise me as a baby so over protective
Smiling at me, blowing kisses while you hold me restless
When you told me that you loved me I can tell you meant it
And it never took for you to try to ever show your efforts
But we was connected through the heavens though I felt your soul
And that alone is just a feeling some will never know
I bump my head and you consoled me as you held me close
And I wonder where went wrong but I guess I'll never know
Cause ever since I grown I felt like you been kind of giving up
And it seems like everything I do is just not good enough
Shit, we don't have the type of bond we used to have before
And I ain't mad at all I just wonder if you recall the day that I was born, when you used to sing to me like
[Hook]
La la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me)
La la la la la la la la
(Yeah, you used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
I wonder if you often think about what you became
And do you ever wonder if you ever truly changed?
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
Nigga I need some help, cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
My father died when I was five and I ain't cry at all
I never knew him he just disappeared and I'm not sure if he knew I would grow up to be ruthless, I don't hide my flaws
A young woman with a body and a mind like yours, cause we a lot alike
I mean that's prolly' why I felt connected
And when we met I was so innocent but slowly tempted
When you told me that you loved me boy I know you meant it
You sucked the soul out of my body with your own intentions
Now I'm stuck inside a life of prostitution, no discretion
And all you do is beat my ass and leave me slowly breathless
But we don't have the type of bond we used to have before
And I ain't mad at all, I just wonder if you recall when I laid in your arms and you used to sing to me like
[Hook]
La la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me)
La la la la la la la la
(Yeah, you used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la
[Verse 3]
I wonder if you often think about what I became
And do you ever wonder if I ever truly changed?
Cause honestly I'm lost and I don't know who to blame
Listen, I need some help cause I don't know what else to soothe the pain
I used to watch movies about you a whole lot before
I read about you back in school when I was kind of bored
Now I'm ashamed and embarrassed I truly got involved
Cause you gave me a feeling some shit that I never felt before
And I ain't trying to make excuses but inside I'm torn
And you was there for me at times I couldn't find the lord
And all I had to do was inject you and lock the doors
So I can feel some type of peace while I dreamed and go watch the stars
And that alone is just a feeling some will never know
But now I'm rotting, it's not the same as I felt before
We don't have the type of bond we used to have before
But I ain't mad at all I just wonder if you recall sticking you in my arms when you used to sing to me like
[Hook]
La la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la la
(You used to sing to me)
La la la la la la la la
(Yeah, you used to sing to me like)
La la la la la la la la
Thank you
You are a true hero. Thank you so much. 🙂
