Lirik Lagu Butterfly

[Intro]
Ah, ah

[Chorus]
Y’all don’t have my pity, uh
She the only b-tch that make me clingy, uh
Spending all this bread making me feel like I’ve been sinning, uh
Goin’ dumb, my ignorance is bliss, uh
D-ck got her going crazy
All these messages and paragraphs she sent
I don’t think we better off as friends
Why you hang with him? He’s a real piece of sh-t
Baby, got me all f-cked up
I’m singing notes like Brent
Rolling up don’t sound good
I’m looking at this drink

[Verse 1]
Can’t do no rolling up, pouring up
I cannot blur the lens
Feeling loose, feeling good
Then I’m thinkin’ what could’ve been
My eyes, open wide, I know they never lie
She get weak for the d-ck, a feeling I recognize
Back in 2010, I wanted to get me some friends
(Got me some friends)
And in 2024, I went out and copped me some land
(Cop me that b-tch)
I heard you got a lot of hoes
Your neck lookin’ like an eclipse, uh
But what they say about me?
Just wait ’till you see where he lives (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Time flies, and the sunrise ain’t nothing like it
Loud mouth but actin’ hard is a buzz, I guess
Two-face, I put it to the side
You and I, that sh-t is day and night

[Chorus]
Y’all don’t have my pity, uh
She the only b-tch that make me clingy, uh
Spending all this bread making me feel like I’ve been sinning, uh
Goin’ dumb, my ignorance is bliss, uh
D-ck got her going crazy
All these messages and paragraphs she sent
I don’t think we better off as friends
Why you hang with him? He’s a real piece of sh-t
Baby, got me all f-cked up
I’m singing notes like Brent
Rolling up don’t sound good
I’m looking at this drink

[Verse 2]
Yeah, aye, games all aside
Need you to get the f-ck out of my life, heh
I got my issues, no, I do not need butterflies
It come with a price
Don’t wanna hear no, “Can you try for me?”
All you hoes too shy to me
Need to get a new vice, really
I ain’t been in one fight, but he gon’ bleed over my b-tch (bitch)
Had a taste of real love and I wasn’t ready for all that sh-t (nah)
Yeah, my type’s been older
All that other sh-t’s childish
If we been goin’ through it
I’m gon’ keep the sh-t private

[Pre-Chorus]
Time flies, and the sunrise ain’t nothing like it
Loud mouth but actin’ hard is a buzz, I guess
Two-face, I put it to the side
You and I, that sh-t is day and night

[Chorus]
Y’all don’t have my pity, uh
She the only b-tch that make me clingy, uh
Spending all this bread making me feel like I’ve been sinning, uh
Goin’ dumb, my ignorance is bliss, uh
D-ck got her going crazy
All these messages and paragraphs she sent
I don’t think we better off as friends
Why you hang with him? He’s a real piece of sh-t
Baby, got me all f-cked up
I’m singing notes like Brent
Rolling up don’t sound good
I’m looking at this drink

[Outro]
Come with me
I don’t want you to go home tonight
It’s too cold for you to fly

Deskripsi

Lagu “Butterfly” menggambarkan hubungan yang rumit antara rasa cinta, ketergantungan emosional, dan konflik batin. Pada bagian chorus, Brian dengan jujur mengakui bagaimana seseorang membuatnya menjadi “clingy” atau terlalu bergantung, sebuah sisi rapuh yang jarang ia tunjukkan secara terang-terangan dalam karya-karyanya.

Verse pertama menyoroti refleksi pribadi Brian, dari masa lalunya hingga pencapaian di masa kini. Ia menyinggung tentang persahabatan, pencapaian finansial, hingga gosip di sekitarnya. Semua itu dibalut dalam lirik yang lugas dan penuh metafora, mencerminkan keseimbangan antara introspeksi dan sindiran.

Masuk ke verse kedua, lirik Butterfly menjadi lebih emosional dan tegas. Brian menolak drama dan kebohongan dalam hubungan, serta menekankan keinginannya untuk menjaga privasi di tengah konflik. Ia juga menyinggung soal “rasa cinta sejati” yang ternyata datang dengan konsekuensi besar, membuatnya sadar akan kerentanannya sendiri.

Secara musikal, Butterfly menghadirkan nuansa yang lebih mellow namun tetap kuat dalam beat hip-hop modern. Lagu ini memperlihatkan sisi matang Rich Brian sebagai musisi yang tak hanya berbicara tentang kesuksesan, tetapi juga soal pergulatan hati yang sangat manusiawi.
