But all of my friends, but all of my friends,
但是我的“朋友”都
Got some s*it to do, yea
有他们各自的事情
All of 'em got plans,
有各自的计划
I call 'em up, "my bad," and text 'em
我给他们打电话,说着“不好意思”,然后发短信
They never cross me like bad pedestrians
他们却视而不见听而不闻(就像路人甲一样)
I've been this awkward since adolescence
我自打少年时代便体会过这样的狼狈(Saba从12岁开始上中学开始就一直没有朋友)
I don't know how long I had depression
我都不知道自己抑郁了多久了
Never no peer-pressure, I'm tryna' get my little p****r
没有体会过来自同龄人的压力(但是也没有同龄人来帮助他了)
Off in some girl I call my BFF, that ain't no secret kept
当我看到我称之为“Best Friend Forever”的女孩时,我试着偷偷与她们搭讪,但是却没能保守好秘密
I f****d then told my cousin, I'm broke, I wasn't buzzin'
我干了一发后便告诉我的表兄弟,我真是遭透了,我一定是脑子不清醒(当时对性的认知依旧很幼稚,但是性是一个复杂而成熟的概念)
I tried to hit a few years, she wasn't budgin'
几年后我还想与她再约一次,她没了兴致
I'm bogus, left my girl for some shawty
而我也不真诚,离开了她去找别的女孩
Surely deservin' of all this lonely
我真是活该没朋友(Saba的抑郁情绪导致他自我怀疑)
"You sad? Tell me, how are you sad?
“你不开心吗?说说你为何难过?
You got all of these friends, you got all of these fans"
你有那么多朋友和粉丝呢!”
I ain't trust nobody new since 2012, I ain't let nobody in
而我从2012年开始就不再相信任何人了,我再也不会让别人进入我的生活了
Jesus got killed for our sins,

Walter got killed for a coat

I'm tryna' cope,
我试着面对悲痛
But it's a part of me gone and apparently I'm alone
但是失去Walter就是失去骨肉,我现在当然孤身一人了

我望着灰蒙蒙的天空,祈祷着你一切安好

Then leave me for school
后是为了学业离我而去
She finally home, I leave her for tour
有天她终于回到家中,我却因为巡演离她而去(两人志向不和,缺少陪伴)
FaceTiming nudity, yeah
如此这般,只能从FaceTime裸聊中获得快感
All of this new to me, yeah
而这些对我来说又太陌生了(Saba不喜欢这种***方式)
All of the infidelity when I was 17
我回想起17岁那年的不忠(呼应上一个verse,这里可能指Saba和上一段提到的女孩又复合了)
Been catchin' up, I still feel like she catch me cheatin'
回忆划过脑海,我仍在想她是否会觉得我欺骗感情

大伙儿们问我巡演怎么样了
Knowin' I been home like 2 months

I tried to ****, but I am no savage
但我也没性趣了
Now we don't speak, we just walk past
如今我们已形同陌路
If my past could talk,
如果我能回到过去
It'd probably reply to the missed calls after all
我也许会回掉所有的未接来电
'Cause the friends*ips that I can't recall,
因为那些早已被我淡忘的友情
Done turned my heart into camouflage
让我心如死灰(埋藏在了迷彩下)
While the guys I used to play basketball with

我只是开了一会儿小差
Forgot to reply to your message
只是忘了回复你一条短信
But only she, I been the same in your presence
